Features
• Lower current draw. • Available in 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95, 115, and 177 candela strobes. • Horn/strobe models include a threeposition switch for field-selecting horn tones: electromechanical/3KHz; temporal 3/non-temporal 3; high/low dBA output. • Synchronizable with MDL Sync•Circuit™ module. • Ceiling-specific shape, profile, and aesthetics. • Mounts to a 4" x 4" x 1.5" (101.6 x 101.6 x 38.1 mm) backbox. • Round shape offers greater placement flexibility.
Description
SpectrAlert® Ceiling Mount Series Strobes and Horn/Strobes from System Sensor offer a fresh approach to the unique needs of ceiling-mount applications.
Technology — Like the original
SpectrAlert® line, the SpectrAlert® Ceiling Mount Series offers significant current draw reductions over other ceiling-mount strobes and horn/ strobes.

Flexibility — SpectrAlert® Ceiling Mount strobes and horn/strobes are available in seven different candelas, including 177 candela for sleeping areas. The horn/strobe’s tones are field-selectable with a three-position switch on the back of the unit. Selections include: electromechanical and 3 KHz tones; temporal 3 and nontemporal 3 patterns; and high and low volume.
Listings
Listings and approvals below apply to the SC Strobes and PC Horn/Strobes. In some cases, certain modules may not be listed by certain approval agencies, or listing may be in process. Consult factory for latest listing status. • UL Listed: files S4011, S5512. • ULC Listed: file CS549. • MEA approved: files 144-00-E, 61-00-E. • CSFM approved: files 7125-1209:201, 7135-1209:204. • FM approved.
Aesthetics — SpectrAlert® Ceiling Mount strobes and horn/strobes offer a
design that is sensitive to the aesthetic demands of ceiling-mount applications. The round shape maintains a low-profile appearance, similar to that of a smoke detector. Its stylish curves and design further refine the aesthetics over other generic wall/ceiling-mount designs. Yet SpectrAlert®’s round shape provides clearly visible “FIRE” identification from all angles.
Installation — SpectrAlert®’s compact design also offers installation savings.
The strobe and horn/strobe models mount to a 4" x 4" x 1.5" (101.6 x 101.6 x 38.1 mm) backbox, and take up little room in the backbox, making connections easier. With SpectrAlert®’s round shape, aligning the backbox with the room’s walls is not necessary — SpectrAlert® always lines up.
Architectural/Engineering Specifications
Strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert® Model ______ Listed to UL 1971 and be approved for fire protective service where ceiling-mount strobes are permitted. The strobe shall be wired as a primary signaling notification appliance and shall flash at 1 Hz over the strobe’s entire operating range. The strobe light shall consist of a xenon flash tube and associated lens/reflector system. Horn/Strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert® Model ______ Listed to UL 1971 and UL 464 and be approved for fire protective service where ceilingmount horn/strobes are permitted. The horn/strobe shall be wired as a primary signaling notification appliance and shall flash at 1 Hz over its entire operating range. The strobe light shall consist of a xenon flash tube and associated lens/ reflector system. The horn shall have two tone options, two audibility options, and the option to switch between a temporal 3 pattern and a non-temporal continuous pattern. These options shall be selected by a multi-position switch.

NOTES for Current Draw table: 1) *Horn/strobe current draws assume horn is set at Temporal 3, electromechanical tone, and high audibility. 2) All SC and PC strobes were only tested at the 16 – 33 volt-FWR/DC limits. This does not include the 80% low-end or 110% high-end voltage limits.
