NOTES:
1. “Regulated 24 DC” refers to the voltage range of 16 to 33 VDC per UL Standard 1971, Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired. This
voltage range is the absolute operating range. Operation outside of this range may cause permanent damage to the appliance. Please
note that 16 VDC is the lowest operating voltage that is allowed at the last appliance on the NAC under worst case conditions.
2. Coded values are typical of the output measured with a Temporal coded or a March Time coded pulse and with a sound level meter
reading on a “fast” setting. Under the same test conditions, coded horn output “peak” sound level readings are typically 4 dBA higher.
Anechoic horn output ratings are typically more representative of actual installed sound output.
3. Currents are with horn on steady. The maximum RMS current listed is the device nameplate rating. Strobe designs are constant wattage
and the maximum RMS current rating occurs at the lowest allowable operating voltage. (RMS is root mean square and refers to the
effective value of a varying current waveform.)

Approved; MEA (NYC) Operation Compatible
Acceptance*
Features Description
Multi-Candela TrueAlert synchronized strobes provide convenient
installation to standard electrical boxes. The enclosure designs are both
impact and vandal resistant and provide a convenient strobe intensity
selection. Since each model can be selected for intensity output, on-
site model inventory is minimized and changes encountered during
construction can be easily accommodated.
Wall mount strobe housings are a one-piece assembly (including lens)
that mounts to a single or double gang, or 4" square standard electrical
box. The cover can be quickly removed (a tool is required) and covers are
Figure 1: Wall Mount Strobes available separately for color conversion.
Ceiling mount strobes install using standard single gang electrical
boxes. Color choice is determined by model number.

Strobe Intensity Selection

During installation, a selection plug at the back of the housing
determines the desired strobe intensity. An attached flag with black

to be seen at the side of the strobe lens.

range is the absolute operating range. Operation outside of this range may cause permanent damage to the strobe. Please note that 16 VDC is
the lowest operating voltage that is allowed at the last appliance on the NAC under worst case conditions.
2. The maximum RMS current listed is the device nameplate rating. Strobe designs are constant wattage and the maximum RMS current rating
occurs at the lowest allowable operating voltage. (RMS is root mean square and refers to the effective value of a varying current waveform.)
