System Sensor SpectrAlert Horns, Strobes, and Horn_Strobes - Manual (Page 3)

Temp/Non-Temp:
Temporal coding or Non-Temporal coding can be selected using
the jumper plugs located on the printed circuit board. With the
jumper offset, the tone pattern is the Temporal Coded Signal.
With the jumper in place, the Non-Temporal code (continuous)
tone is active.
High/Low Volume:
High or low volume may be selected using the jumper plugs locat-
ed on the printed circuit board. With the jumper in place, the
sound output level is the high level. With the jumper offset, the
sound output level is the low level. The low volume setting must
NOT be used when the device is powered from a 12-volt panel.
NOTE: Always power down devices before setting jumpers.

Figure 4: Removal of horns and strobes from mounting plates:
To remove units from mounting plates, insert Quick Click Removal Tool
as shown to unlock snap. While pushing in Removal Tool to release the
snap, pull back on
the horn/strobe.
Hinge the horn/
strobe module, dis-
engage the Locking
Rib, and pull the
horn/strobe away
from the mounting
plate.

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 exceeds) current Underwriters
Laboratories’ standards. However, the horn may not alert a sound sleeper or one who has recent-
ly 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 ambi-
ent noise such as traffic, air conditioners, machinery or music appliances that may prevent alert
persons from hearing 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 dis-
regarded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen by the visually impaired.
The signal strobe may cause seizures. Individuals who have positive photic response to visual
stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epilepsy, should avoid prolonged exposure to environ-
ments 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 uninterrupted source of power in order to operate cor-
rectly. System Sensor recommends that the horn and signal strobe always be used in combination
so that the risks from any of the above limitations are minimized.

WARNING
Three-Year Limited Warranty
System Sensor warrants its enclosed horn. strobe, or horn/strobe to be free from defects in materi-
als and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years from date of manu-
facture. System Sensor makes no other express warranty for this horn, strobe, or horn/strobe. No
agent, representative, dealer, or employee of the Company has the authority to increase or alter the
obligations or limitations of this Warranty. The Company’s obligation of this Warranty shall be lim-
ited to the repair or replacement of any part of the horn, strobe, or horn/strobe which is found to
be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service during the three year peri-
od commencing with the date of manufacture. After phoning System Sensor’s toll free number 800-
SENSOR2 (736-7672) for a Return Authorization number, send defective units postage prepaid to: System Sensor, Returns Department, RA #__________, 3825 Ohio Avenue, St. Charles, IL 60174.
Please include a note describing the malfunction and suspected cause of failure. The Company shall
not be obligated to repair or replace units which are found to be defective because of damage, unrea-
sonable use, modifications, or alterations occurring after the date of manufacture. In no case shall
the Company be liable for any consequential or incidental damages for breach of this or any other
Warranty, expressed or implied whatsoever, even if the loss or damage is caused by the Company’s
negligence or fault. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse-
quential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This Warranty gives
you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

FCC Statement
NOTE: SpectrAlert Horns have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, and SpectrAlert Strobes and Horn/Strobes have been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A 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 com- mercial 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.
