General Description
The National Fire Protection Association has published
standards and recommended practices for the installation
and use of the listed appliances. It is recommended that the
installer be familiar with these requirements, local codes,
and any special requirements of the local fire authority hav-
ing jurisdiction.
The Multi-Alert sounder and signaling strobe are intended
to be connected to the alarm indicating circuit of a UL-
listed fire alarm control panel. Both are compatible with DC
line supervision. The electronic sounder can be connected

to either 12 or 24 VDC panels. Models SS2415ADA,
SS2475ADA, SS24110ADA, SS241575ADA, and combina-
tion models incorporating these strobes, require 24 volt
panels.
MASS1215ADA , and MASS121575ADA require 12 volt pan-
els. Panels may have full-wave rectified, unfiltered power
supplies. The strobes produce one flash per second (nomi-
nal) with continuous nominal voltage applied.
The MA12/24D is suitable for outdoor applications (-35° to
66° C) when it is used with a WBB Weatherproof Back Box.
The signaling strobe is rated for 0° to 49° C and is NOT
