TrueAlert Addressable Notification Appliances

UL, ULC, CSFM Listed* Audible/Visible Notification Appliances;

FM Approved* Multi-Tone Horn/Strobe with 520 Hz Output

Features
Individually addressed and controlled multi-tone
and multi-candela TrueAlert ES A/V (audible/visible)
notification appliances provide:
 Multi-candela xenon strobe with synchronized 1 Hz flash
rate and with intensity programmable from the control
panel or jumper selected as 15, 30, 75, 110, 135, or
185 cd
 Advanced addressable notification controlled by IDNAC
SLCs providing regulated 29 VDC allowing strobes to
operate with lower current even under battery backup
 Wiring supervision to each appliance allowing
“T-tapped” connections for Class B circuits to
simplify wiring (Class A circuits require in/out
wiring)
 Self-Test Mode allows on-board sensors to detect the
strobe and horn output and then report their status to TrueAlert ES Multi-Tone Addressable A/Vs are Available
