The Sounder and/or Strobe will not work without power. The sounder/
strobe gets its power from the fire/security panel monitoring the alarm
system. If power is cut off for any reason, the sounder/strobe will not pro-
vide the desired audio or visual warning.
The Sounder may not be heard. The loudness of the sounder meets (or
exceeds) current Underwriters Laboratories' standards. However, the
sounder may not alert a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs
or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. The Sounder may not be heard
if it is placed on a different floor from the person in hazard or if placed too
far away to be heard over the ambient noise such as traffic, air condition-
ers, machinery or music appliances that may prevent alert persons from
hearing the alarm. The Sounder may not be heard by persons who are
hearing impaired.
The Signal Strobe may not be seen. The electronic visual warning signal
that flashes at least once every three seconds meets or exceeds current Un-
derwriters Laboratories' standard 1971 and uses an extremely reliable xe-
non flash tube. The visual warning signal is suitable for direct viewing and

WARNING
must be installed within an area where it can be seen by building occu-
pants. The strobe must not be installed in direct sunlight or areas of high
light intensity (over 60 foot candles) where the visual flash might be disre-
garded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen by the visually im-
paired.
The signal strobe may cause seizures. Individuals who have a positive
photic response to visual stimuli with seizures, such as epileptics, should
avoid prolonged exposure to environments in which strobe signals, in-
cluding this strobe, are activated.
System Sensor recommends that the Multi-Alert Sounder and Signal
Strobe always be used in combination so that the risks from any of the
above limitations are minimized.
The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies. Coded
power supplies produce interrpted power. The strobe must have an unin-
terrupted source of DC power in order to operate correctly.
