Note: The outdoor horn/strobe must be used with a WBB back box
when installed in applications requiring the outdoor horn/strobe to
be rainproof. In such applications, using a back box other than the
WBB will void the rainproof per UL50 designation.
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 recently
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 ambient 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.
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 photoic 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.
