Wall and Ceiling Mount S/Vs with Addressable Strobes
Description
Multi-Candela TrueAlert S/Vs with speaker and
addressable strobe provide convenient installation to
standard electrical boxes with extensions. The strobe is
individually addressed and individually controlled with
power, supervision, and control supplied from a Simplex
fire alarm control panel providing IDNAC Signaling Line
Circuits (SLCs). (See compatibility list on page 4.)
Speakers are wired separately.
Strobe Application Reference
Proper selection of visible notification is dependent on
occupancy, location, local codes, and proper applications
of: the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code
(NFPA 72), ANSI A117.1; the appropriate model
building code: BOCA, ICBO, or SBCCI; and the
application guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA).
IDNAC SLC Operation Advantage
TrueAlert S/V Appliances with Addressable
Strobes on IDNAC SLCs provide visible notification
using a single two-wire circuit that also confirms
connection to the individual notification appliance’s
electronic circuit. This operation increases circuit
supervision integrity by providing supervision that
extends beyond the appliance wiring connections.
