"T-tapped" connections for Class B circuits to
simplify wiring (Class A circuits require in/out
wiring)
 TrueAlert Device Reports at the control panel
detailing appliance point ID, custom label, type, and
candela setting (see sample on page 2)
 Magnet test diagnostics to assist checkout and testing
of appliances and wiring
 Compatibility with ADA requirements; (refer to
important installation information on page 3)
 Compatibility with legacy TrueAlert addressable
systems for upgrade and replacement (see page 4)
 Clear lens strobe is UL listed to Standard 1971, ULC
listed to Standard S526
 Amber lens strobe is UL listed to Standard 1638 (due to
non-white lens); and provides light dispersion patterns of
UL Standard 1971; ULC listing is to Standard S526
LED indicator and magnet test feature:
 Each appliance LED can be selected to display each
polling cycle to indicate appliance supervision
 In diagnostic mode, the magnet test pulses the LED to
indicate appliance address AND pulses to indicate the
intensity selection; a brief output of the strobe is also
selectable to confirm operation

Description
Multi-Candela TrueAlert addressable combination
strobes are individually addressed and individually
controlled with power, supervision, and control supplied
from a Simplex fire alarm control panel providing IDNAC
Signaling Line Circuits (SLCs). (See compatibility list on
page 4.) A single assembly provides an amber lens strobe for
non-fire alarm, alert notification for use with Emergency
Communications Systems, and a clear lens strobe for fire
alarm notification.
Strobe Application Reference
Amber strobes used as part of an Emergency
Communications system are located to provide the same
area coverage as required of clear lens fire alarm strobes.
Specific Emergency Communications requirements are
discussed in detail in document UFC 4-021-01 (USA
Department of Defense, United Facilities Criteria) and in
NFPA 72, Chapter 24 (2010 and 2013 editions).
Proper strobe coverage criteria is further described in the
National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72), ANSI A117.1; the
appropriate model building code: BOCA, ICBO, or SBCCI;
and the application guidelines of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA).
