The horn and/or strobe will not work without power.
The horn/strobe
gets its power from the fire/security panel monitoring the alarm system.
If power is cut off for any reason, the horn/strobe will not provide the
desired audio or visual warning.
The horn may not be heard.
The loudness of the horn meets (or ex-
ceeds) current Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the horn
may not alert a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has
been drinking alcoholic beverages. The horn may not be heard if it is
placed on a different floor from the person in hazard or if placed too far
away to be heard over the ambient noise such as traffic, air conditioners,
machinery or music appliances that may prevent alert persons from hear-
ing the alarm. The horn may not be heard by persons who are hearing
impaired.
NOTE:
Strobes must be powered continuously for horn operation.
The signal strobe may not be seen.
The electronic visual warning signal
uses an extremely reliable xenon flash tube. It flashes at least once every
second. The strobe must not be installed in direct sunlight or areas of high
light intensity (over 60 foot candles) where the visual flash might be disre-
garded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen by the visually impaired.
The signal strobe may cause seizures.
Individuals who have positive
photoic response to visual stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epi-
lepsy, should avoid prolonged exposure to environments in which strobe
signals, including this strobe, are activated.
The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies. Coded
power supplies produce interrupted power. The strobe must have an un-
interrupted source of power in order to operate correctly. System Sensor
recommends that the horn and signal strobe always be used in combina-
tion so that the risks from any of the above limitations are minimized.

FCC Statement
SpectrAlert Strobes and Horn/Strobes have been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
