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.
NOTE: Strobes must be powered continuously for horn operation. The signal strobe may not be seen. The electronic visual warning signal uses an ex-
tremely 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 response 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 supplies 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.

FCC STaTemenT
SpectrAlert Strobes and Horn/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 equip-
ment is operated in a commercial 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.
