SpectrAlert Speaker/Strobes have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

Class B 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 commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can

If either of the voltage select or power select shunts is not plugged into one of the

appropriate option positions, the speaker will not sound and there will be no trouble

indication at the panel. Always make sure that the individual speakers are tested after

installation per NFPA regulations.
The speaker may not be heard. The loudness of the speaker meets (or exceeds) the

current Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the speaker may not attract

the attention of a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been

drinking alcoholic beverages. The speaker may not be heard if it is placed on a dif-

ferent floor from the person in hazard or if placed too far away to be heard over the

ambient noise. Traffic, air conditioners, machinery, or music appliances may prevent

even alert persons from hearing the alarm. The speaker may not be heard by persons

who are hearing impaired.

WARNING

The Limitations of Speaker/Strobes

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 disregarded or not seen. The strobe may not

be seen by the visually impaired.
The signal strobe may cause seizures. Individuals who have positive photoic re-

sponse to visual stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epilepsy, should avoid

prolonged exposure to environments in which strobe signals, including this strobe,

are activated.
The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies. Coded power sup-

plies produce interrupted power. The strobe must have an uninterrupted source of

power in order to operate correctly. 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.
