SpectrAlert Advance Specifications

Architect/Engineer Specifications

General

SpectrAlert Advance chimes and chime/strobes shall mount to a standard 4 × 4 × 1½-inch back box, 4-inch octagon back box, single-gang 2 × 4 × 17/8-inch

back box, or double-gang back box. A universal mounting plate shall be used for mounting products. The notification appliance circuit wiring shall terminate

attheuniversalmountingplate.Also,SpectrAlertAdvanceproducts,whenusedwiththeSync•CircuitModuleaccessory,shallbepoweredfromanon-coded

notificationappliancecircuitoutputandshalloperateonanominal12or24volts.WhenusedwiththeSync•CircuitModule,12-voltratednotificationappliance

circuit outputs shall operate between nine and 17.5 volts; 24-volt rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 17 and 33 volts. Indoor

SpectrAlert Advance products shall operate between 32 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit from a regulated DC, or full-wave rectified, unfiltered power supply. Chime/

strobes shall have field-selectable candela settings of 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95, 110 and 115.

Chime/Strobe Combination

The chime/strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance Model _______ listed to UL 1638 and UL 464. The chime/strobe shall comply with the

Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for visible signaling appliances, flashing at 1Hz over the strobe’s entire operating voltage range. The strobe light

shall consist of a xenon flash tube and associated lens/reflector system. The chime shall have two audibility options and an option to switch between a temporal

three-pattern and a non-temporal (continuous) pattern. These options are set by a multiple position switch.

Synchronization Module

ThemoduleshallbeaSystemSensorSync•Circuit_______listedtoUL464andshallbeapprovedforfireprotectiveservice.Themoduleshallsynchronize

SpectrAlert strobes at 1Hz and chimes at temporal three. Also, while operating the strobes, the module shall silence the chimes on chime/strobe models over

a single pair of wires. The module shall mount to a 411/16 × 411/16 × 21/8-inch back box. The module shall also control two Style Y (class B) circuits or one Style Z

(class A) circuit. The module shall synchronize multiple zones. Daisy chaining two or more synchronization modules together will synchronize all the zones they

control. The module shall not operate on a coded power supply.

Notes:

1. Full Wave Rectified (FWR) voltage is a non-filtered, time varying power source that is used on some power supply and panel outputs.

2. CHS products will operate at 12 V nominal only for 15 and 15/75 cd.
