General Description
The National Fire Protection Association has published
standards and recommended practices for the installation
and use of the above appliances. It is recommended that
the installer be familiar with these requirements, with local
codes, and any special requirements of the local fire
authority having jurisdiction.
The Piezo electronic 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
PS2415ADA, PS2475ADA, PS24110ADA, and PS241575ADA
require 24 volt panels.
PS121575ADA require 12 volt panels. Panels may have full-
