panel, or power supply installation manual.
NOTE: For 24 volt applications, the total number of horns on a
single NAC must not exceed 85 with a maximum loop resistance
of 120 ohms. For 12 volt applications, the total number of horns
must not exceed 85 with a maximum loop resistance of 120 ohms.
Sounder Selection
Sounder setting selection is accomplished by using the rotary
switch on the back. (See Figure 3.) The sound measurements for
the various settings are shown in Table 1A. The current draw for
the various settings are shown in Table 1B. Directional character-
istics are shown in Table 1C.
