General

SpectrAlert® Advance selectable-output chimes and chime/

strobes are private-mode notification appliances used to alert

trained personnel to investigate possible emergency situations

and to take appropriate action. Security guard and nurse work-

stations are ideal locations for chime products.
SpectrAlert Advance chimes and chime/strobes are rich with

features guaranteed to cut installation times and maximize

profits. The SpectrAlert Advance series of notification appli-

ances is designed to simplify your installations, with features

such as: plug-in designs, instant feedback messages to

ensure correct installation of individual devices, and seven

field-selectable candela settings for chime/strobes.
More specifically, when installing Advance products, first

attach a universal mounting plate to a four-inch (10.16 cm)

square, four-inch octagonal, single-gang, or double-gang junc-

tion box.
Then, connect the notification appliance circuit wiring to the

SEMS terminals on the mounting plate.
Finally, attach the chime or chime/strobe to the mounting plate

by inserting the product’s tabs in the mounting plate’s grooves.

The device will rotate into position, locking the product’s pins

into the mounting plate’s terminals. The device will temporarily

hold in place with a catch until it is secured with a captive

mounting screw.
SpectrAlert Advance products allow you to choose:
• 12 or 24 volts.
• At 24 volts, 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95, 110, or 115 candela by

way of rear-mounted slide-switch and front-view window.

• Chime tones and volume by way of rotary switch.

Features

• Plug-in design.
• Shorting spring on mounting plate for pre-installation conti-

nuity check.

• Captive mounting screw.
• Torx screw for tamper resistance.
• Field-selectable candela settings: 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95,

110, 115.

• Automatic selection of 12- or 24-volt operation at 15 and 15/

75 candela.

• Minimal intrusion into the backbox.
• Rotary switch for tone selection.
• Two volume settings.
• Electrically compatible with existing SpectrAlert products.

Engineering Specifications

SpectrAlert Advance chimes and chime/strobes shall mount to

a standard 4.0" x 4.0" x 1.5" (10.16 x 10.16 x 3.81 cm) back-

box, 4.0" (10.16 cm) octagonal backbox, single-gang 2.0" x

4.0" x 1.875" (5.08 x 10.16 x 4.763 cm) backbox, or double-

gang backbox. A universal mounting plate shall be used for

mounting products. The notification appliance circuit wiring

shall terminate at the universal mounting plate. Also, SpectrA-

lert Advance products, when used with the Sync•Circuit™

Module accessory, shall be powered from a non-coded notifi-

cation appliance circuit output and shall operate on a nominal

12 or 24 volts. When used with the Sync•Circuit Module, 12-

volt rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate

between 9 and 17.5 volts; 24-volt rated notification appliance

circuit outputs shall operate between 17 and 33 volts. Indoor

SpectrAlert Advance products shall operate between 32°F and

120°F (0°C and 49°C) from a regulated DC, or full-wave-recti-

fied, unfiltered power supply. Chime/strobes shall have field-

selectable candela settings of 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95, 110, and

115.

CHIME/STROBE COMBINATION

The chime/strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert

Advance Model _______ listed to CAN/ULC S525 and S526.

The chime/strobe shall comply with the Americans with Dis-

abilities Act requirements for visible signaling appliances,

flashing at 1 Hz over the strobe’s entire operating voltage

range. The strobe light shall consist of a xenon flash tube and

associated lens/reflector system. The chime shall have two

audibility options and an option to switch between a temporal

three-pattern and a non-temporal (continuous) pattern. These

options are set by a multiple position switch.

SYNCHRONIZATION MODULE

The module shall be a System Sensor Sync•Circuit _______

listed to ULC 464 and shall be approved for fire protective ser-

vice. The module shall synchronize SpectrAlert strobes at 1

Hz and chimes at Temporal 3. Also, while operating the

strobes, the module shall silence the chimes on chime/strobe

models over a single pair of wires. The module shall mount to

a 4.688" x 4.688" x 2.125" (11.906 x 11.906 x 5.398 cm) back-

box. The module shall also control two Style Y (Class B) cir-

cuits or one Style Z (Class A) circuit. The module shall

synchronize multiple zones. Daisy-chaining two or more syn-

chronization modules together will synchronize all the zones

they control. The module shall not operate on a coded power

supply.
