Outdoor Alerting System
Strobe
Thank you for purchasing the Earth Networks Outdoor Alerting System Strobe. The strobe provides a visual
notification of Earth Networks alert data. The strobe may be placed indoors, attached to a wall or
ceiling. It is important to place the strobe where it can easily be viewed by onsite and free from
obstructions.
The instruction of this manual is written with the intention of adding the strobe(s) to an existing Outdoor
Alerting Systems with horn configurations in place. The visual notification schedule will follow the same
program as the sounding horn schedule. The strobe may be installed without the horn(s) if that is
desired for your location. We recommend reading this entire manual before beginning. For more
information on the horn portion of the system, please refer to the comprehensive Outdoor Alerting
System manual available on download.earthnetworks.com.
A maximum of 2 strobes may be installed with an Outdoor Alerting System Informer. There is 100ft of
wire available for each strobe. If 2 strobes are to be installed, one may be installed at the informer and
the second strobe may be connected to the first strobe. This option will give approximately 100 ft
between strobes, and the first strobe can be placed up to 100 ft from the informer. This option will be
referred to as Informer – Strobe - Strobe. An alternative option for installation is to install both strobes
at the informer. This will allow approximately 200 ft between strobes, each strobe placed up to 100 ft
from the informer. This option will be referred to as Strobe – Informer – Strobe. The decision for
placement is dependent on where the informer is located and the desired visibility of the strobes. Each
configuration is further discussed below.
