System Sensor P12015K Outdoor Horn_Strobe - Manual

General Description
The SpectrAlert series notification appliances are designed to
meet the requirements of most agencies governing these devices,
including: NFPA, The National Fire Alarm Code, UL, CSFM, MEA.
Also, check with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction for other
codes or standards that may apply.
The P12015K must be installed using a 120 VAC power source. This
unit can only be used for non-synchronous applications. This unit
will NoT work with SpectrAlert Sync•Circuit Modules.
NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of this
equipment.
Fire Alarm System Considerations
Temporal and Non-Temporal Coded Signals:
The American National Standards Institute and the National
Fire Alarm Code require that all horns used for building evacu-
ation installed after July 1, 1996, must produce Temporal Coded
Signals.
Signals other than those used for evacuation purposes do not have
to produce the Temporal Coded Signal. Temporal coding is accom-
plished by interrupting a steady sound in the following manner:

Horn Selections
Horns are factory set for temporal code and electromechanical
tone.
Tones:
Two tones may be selected using the DIP switch (see Figure 1)
located on the printed circuit board. With the switch off, the
tone is the Electromechanical sound. With the switch on, the
tone is a 3 kHz sound.
Temp/Non-Temp:
Temporal coding or Non-Temporal coding can be selected
using the DIP switch located on the printed circuit board.
With the switch off, the tone pattern is the Temporal
Coded Signal. With the switch on, the Non-Temporal
code (continuous) tone is active.
