TrueAlert ES Addressable US/Weather Proof Wall Mount Speaker Notification Appliances

Installation Instructions

Cautions, warnings, and regulatory information

Important: When the notification appliance emits light or sound, it indicates the possibility of an emergency situation that requires immediate atten­tion of all occupants.

SAFETY: Always install, maintain, and test notification appliances within their specifications. Failure to follow all safety precautions and
instructions may result in loss of life and property due to non-functioning notification appliances. Some notification appliances use high
voltage. To avoid electrical hazards and avoid damage to appliances, make sure that the electrical power for the Notification Appliance
Circuit is disconnected at the control panel before installing, repairing, or internally adjusting any notification appliances. Even with
electrical power removed, some notification appliances (such as visible strobes) store a high voltage charge. The high voltage can cause
injury resulting in death from electrical shock. DO NOT TOUCH EXPOSED CIRCUITRY.

LOCATION REFERENCE: Location and quantity of appliances required must conform to the applicable local standards and guidelines
(the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72); ULC Standard CAN/ULC-S524, Installation of Fire Alarm Systems; the appropriate
model building codes, etc.) and specific requirements of the Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). These notification appliances are
not intended for installation within hazardous locations as defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC) or NFPA.

Introduction

These appliances provide a speaker only (SO) or speaker/visible (S/V) warning of an alarm condition when activated from the control panel of a
compatible UL/ULC Listed, Autocall Fire Alarm System. Consult Autocall Fire Alarm panel documentation for compatibility information. The speakers
can be turned ON/OFF individually under compatible panel control.

Strobe operation levels

The 49 S/V appliances have multiple strobe intensity levels. Levels W15, W75, W110, and W185 are rated for UL outdoor private mode applications.
Levels 15 and 75 are rated for UL indoor and uncontrolled wet Public Mode applications.

Back box mounting instructions

1. Select the mounting location and install the back box, see the back box installation instructions for more information.

2. Bring the building wiring through the rectangular opening in the backplate.

3. Connect the building wires to the backplate, see the wiring section.

4. Secure the backplate to the electrical box using the provided hardware. Install the backplate so that the contacts are above the opening for
the wiring.

5. Set the appliance settings. See Setting the address DIP switch.

Instructions

6. To attach the cover to the appliance, carefully move the cover over the housing. Move the cover down over the housing and press it until it
snaps onto the housing.

7. Attach the assembled appliance to the backplate.

Figure 1: Back box mounting instructions

Unit removal or disassembly

1. Use a blade screwdriver to catch the latches on the left side of the cover, angling the head out from the appliance and then lifting. Repeat this
on each latch in turn, until the cover rotates away.

2. Insert a blade screwdriver into the gap between the housing and backplate at the bottom of the assembled appliance. Angle the head
towards the appliance and lift. When the housing moves toward you, lift and pull the appliance away with your hand.
Important: Ensure you do not compromise the gaskets when you disassemble the unit.

Wiring instructions

Warning: Make sure that all power is disconnected before starting the installation.

1. At the electrical box, connect the building wiring to the CKT + and CKT - terminals on the backplate.

2. To ensure proper continuity, use a torque wrench to tighten the terminal block screws to 12-15 inch-pounds.

3. Ensure that the correct polarity is maintained for each strobe unit.

4. SLC wiring must be twisted pair (TWP). CKT Terminals accept 2 Wires: 12-18 American wire gauge (AWG) TWP.

Instructions

Important: Do not bring the conduit through the rear of the electrical box. Strip the lead insulation to 7/16 inch maximum.

Figure 2: Wiring instructions

Note: Wiring notes

a. Assign a maximum of 127 active appliances to a circuit. Assign a maximum of 63 active strobe appliances to a powered circuit.

The maximum wire resistance between appliances is 29 ohms. Refer to the field wiring diagrams of the driving compatible fire

alarm control panel for further instructions.
b. Notification appliances are rated using an individual module label.
c. Maintain the correct polarity on the terminal connections.
d. Terminals 1 through 6 each accommodate two wires, one wire going in and one wire going out to the next appliance.
e. These appliances are rated to the operating voltage limits of 23-30 VDC. The appliance can fail to operate as intended, and can

cause permanent damage to this equipment if it operates outside of these limits.
f. Only operate the TrueAlert IDNAC S/V and SO using a compatible power supply and amplifier.
g. T-tapping is not permitted for Class A wiring.
h. TrueAlert SLC wiring connections are supervised and power-limited.

Setting the address DIP switch

Each addressable TrueAlert IDNAC notification appliance has a unique address that is set using an eight-position DIP switch (ADDR1). Assign up to 127
unique addresses an signaling line circuit (SLC), however, the total appliance loading available may be less due to appliance current requirements.

To set the address complete the following steps:

1. Complete the steps to disassemble the unit, see Unit removal or disassembly.

2. Use a non-metallic stylus, or the equivalent to set the switches.

3. Record the set address.

4. DIP switch position 8 determines whether this appliance is viewed by the system as an 'ALARM' (OFF) or 'ALERT' (ON) type of appliance.
Confirm the setting for the appliance at this address with the FACP system configuration documentation. DIP position 9 is not used (set to
OFF).

Setting the strobe candela setting

1. The jumpers are factory set to FACP. Use this setting when programming the candela level at the 4100ES FACP. The candela setting is visible
through the slot on the side of the appliance.

2. For manual selection, remove the cover and slide the candela flag to the required setting. The candela setting is visible through the slot on
the side of the appliance. The settings are 15, W15,75, W75, W110, W185 candela, or FACP.
Note: To avoid a programming mismatch trouble, an authorized service personnel must program one of the 6 candela outputs for each
appliance. To set the candela through the Programmer, set it to FACP. For additional information refer to the ES Panel Programmer’s Manual
(574-849AC).
