General Description
The SpectrAlert Advance series of notification appliances offers a wide
range of horns, strobes, and horn/strobes, for wall and ceiling applica-
tions, indoors and outdoors. They are designed to be used in 12 or 24 volt,
DC or FWR (full wave rectified) systems. These products are electrically
backward compatible with the previous generation of SpectrAlert notifica-
tion appliances. Horn/strobe products are available in two versions. The
2-wire products fit systems where a single NAC controls both horn and
strobe. The 4-wire products are intended for systems which have sepa-
rate wiring circuits for the horn and strobe. All SpectrAlert Advance prod-
ucts are suitable for use in synchronized systems. The System Sensor
MDLA module may be used to provide synchronization.
K Series products are designed to be used over a wider range of tem-
peratures and are suitable for use in wet locations.
Wall and ceiling products may be used interchangeably (wall products
may be used on the ceiling and ceiling products may be used on the
wall.)

Fire Alarm System Considerations
The National Building Code and CAN/ULC S525, requires that all horns,
used for building evacuation produce temporal coded signals. Signals
other than those used for evacuation purposes do not have to produce
the temporal coded signal. System Sensor recommends spacing notifica-
tion appliances in compliance with CAN/ULC S524.
Loop Design and Wiring
The system designer must make sure that the total current drawn by the
devices on the loop does not exceed the current capability of the panel
supply, and that the last device on the circuit is operated within its rated
voltage. The current draw information for making these calculations can
be found in the tables within this manual. For convenience and accuracy,
use the voltage drop calculator on the System Sensor website (www.sys-
temsensor.com) or CD-ROM.
When calculating the voltage available to the last device, it is necessary to
consider the voltage drop due to the resistance of the wire. The thicker the
wire, the smaller the voltage drop. Wire resistance tables can be obtained
from electrical handbooks. Note that if Class A wiring is installed, the wire
length may be up to twice as long as it would be for circuits that are not
fault tolerant. Wiring is to be accordance with CSA C22.1 Canadian Elec-
trical Code, Part 1, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, Sec. 32
