The "K" models are suitable for outdoor use in wet environments with out-
door back box supplied with the product.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SpectrAlert Advance series of notification appliances offers a wide range
of speaker/strobe products for wall and ceiling applications, indoors and out-
doors. The strobe portion is designed to be used in 12 or 24 volt, DC or FWR
(full wave rectified) systems. The speaker portion can be operated with distri-
bution amplifiers having an output voltage of either 25 or 70.7 volts.
With its low total harmonic distortion, the SpectrAlert Advance SP series of-
fers high fidelity sound output. The SpectrAlert Advance SPV series offers
greater sound output at every tap setting for applications with high ambient
noise levels. The speakers operate at any one of four input power levels. These
products are electrically backward compatible with the previous generation of
SpectrAlert notification appliances. All SpectrAlert Advance products are suit-
able for use in synchronized systems. The System Sensor MDL module may
be used to provide synchronization for the strobes. Wall and ceiling products
may be used interchangeably (wall products may be used on the ceiling and
ceiling products may be used on the wall.) K Series products are designed to
be used over a wider range of temperatures and are suitable for use in wet
locations.

FIRE ALARM SySTEM CONSIDERATIONS
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and applicable local codes. System Sensor recommends installing fire
alarm speakers in compliance with NFPA 72, ANSI/UL1480 and NEC 760.
LOOP DESIGN AND WIRING
The system designer must make sure that the total current drawn by the de-
vices on the loop does not exceed the current capability of the panel supply,
and that the last device on the circuit is operated within its rated voltage.
The current draw information for making these calculations can be found in
the tables within this manual. For convenience and accuracy, use the voltage
drop calculator on the System Sensor website (www.systemsensor.com) or
CD-ROM.
When calculating the voltage available to the last device, it is necessary to
consider the voltage drop due to the resistance of the wire. The thicker the
wire, the smaller the voltage drop. Wire resistance tables can be obtained
from electrical handbooks. Note that if Class A wiring is installed, the wire
length may be up to twice as long as it would be for circuits that are not fault
tolerant.
NOTE: For 24 volt applications, the total number of strobes on a single NAC
must not exceed 40, with a maximum loop resistance of 120 ohms. For 12 volt
applications, the total number of strobes must not exceed 12, with a maxi-
mum loop resistance of 30 ohms.
NOTE: Supply power for strobe must be continuous for proper operation.
