Fike - Horn Strobe Evacuation Signals Alarm Conventional [P.1.62.01-1]

SELECTABLE CANDELA EVACUATION SIGNALS

APPLICATIONS

The Fike Selectable Candela Evacuation Signals, manufactured by Gentex Corporation, are low profile horn, strobe or horn/strobe combination that offer dependable audible and visual alarms and the lowest current available.

The Fike Selectable Candela Evacuation Strobe Horn/Strobe 24VDC offers field selectable candela options of 15, 30, 60, 75, and 110 candela. The 12VDC offers selectable candela options of 15, 30, 60, and 75 candela.

Evacuation horn offers a continuous or synchable temporal 3 in 2400Hz and mechanical tone, a chime as well as a whoop tone. All tones are easy for the professional to change in the field by using switches. The Horn Strobe is shipped from the factory on the temporal lower frequency mode and it comes standard with a rugged cast metal mounting plate.

The Fike Selectable Candela Evacuation Signals have a minimal operation current and a minimum flash rate of 1Hz regardless of input voltage.

Units also come standard with the 4" mounting plate which incorporates the popular SuperSlide feature that allows you to easily test for supervision. Also included is a locking mechanism which secures the product to the bracket without any screws showing.

Appliances are UL 464 and UL 1971, listed for use with fire protective systems and are warranted for three years from date of purchase.

ARCHITECT AND ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS

The audible and/or visible signal shall be a Gentex Selectable Candela Evacuation Signal or approved equal and shall be listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. per UL 1971 and/or UL 464. The notification appliance shall also be listed with the California State Fire Marshall (CSFM) and the Bureau of Standards and Appeals (NYC).

The notification appliance (combination audible/visible) shall produce a peak sound output of 100dBA or greater at 12 or 24V as measured in an anechoic chamber. The signaling appliance shall also have the capability to silence the audible signal while leaving the visible signal energized with the use of a single pair of power wires. Additionally, the user shall be able to select either continuous or temporal tone output with the temporal signal having the ability to be synchronized.

Unit shall be capable of being installed so that any unauthorized attempt to change the candela setting will result in a trouble signal at the fire alarm control panel.

The audible/visible and visible signaling appliance shall also maintain a minimum flash rate of 1Hz or greater regardless of power input voltage. The appliance shall have an operating current of 55mA or less at 12 or 24 VDC for the 15Cd strobe circuit.

The appliance shall be polarized to allow for electrical supervision of the system wiring. The unit shall be provided with a mounting bracket with terminals with barriers for input/output wiring and be able to mount to a single gang or double gang box or double workbox without the use of an adapter plate. The unit shall have an input voltage range of 16-33 volts with either direct current of full wave rectified power for 24 volt models or a voltage range of 8-17.5 volts for 12 volt models.

The appliance shall be capable of testing supervision without disconnecting wires. Also the appliance shall be capable of mounting to a surface back box.
