General

SpectrAlert® Advance mass notification devices and acces-

sories combine application versatility with all the time- and

money-saving benefits of the SpectrAlert Advance line.
SpectrAlert Advance, the broadest and most versatile line of

notification devices available, includes a wide range of

devices to meet mass notification application requirements.
ALERT-printed on white housings, SW-ALERT, SWH-ALERT

and SPSW-ALERT amber lens strobes and speaker strobes

provide visual signaling for mass notification in compliance

with ANSI/UL 1638 Standard for General Signaling Visible

Appliances. Other ALERT-printed models provide clear

lenses for use with color lens strobe attachments (amber,

blue, green, and red) that easily attach to strobe and speaker

strobe devices without a candela derating.
In addition, SpectrAlert Advance mass notification devices

include plain (non-printed) strobes, horn strobes and speaker

strobes. These devices, along with ALERT-printed devices

and SpectrAlert Advance accessories, can meet a wide

range of requirements for indoor and outdoor applications,

including mass notification, general signaling, severe

weather and emergency response.
All SpectrAlert Advance mass notification and general signal-

ing devices are compatible with the entire SpectrAlert

Advance and include all the same time- and money-saving

innovations. For example, plug-in designs simplify installation

and reduce costly ground faults; universal mounting plates

with onboard shorting springs test wiring continuity to speed

installation and protect devices from damage; and field-

selectable settings provide versatility and enable installers to

quickly set each device to meet application requirements.
