The Gentex AVSM (12 V or 24 V) and AVS44 (24 V) control
modules provide an easy way to synchronize multiple horns
and strobe light flashes using only two wires. With the
module in temporal (Code 3) mode, it synchronizes multiple
horn signals and allows the horns to be silenced while the
strobes continue to flash.

Although the AVS44 modules can be used with these

•
devices, the AVSM modules are recommended in loops
where no HS24 or ST24 devices are used.
2
The GX91 Series Mini-horns can only be synchronized
through the control panel. They cannot be used in any loop
using an AVS Synchronization Control Module.
Wiring Considerations
Connect AVS modules before all other signaling devices on
the loop which are intended to be synchronized.
Note Do not use these modules in coded or pulsed
signaling circuits.
The input terminals accept wires with diameters between
18 AWG (1.2 mm) and 12 AWG (2.3 mm). Do not loop the
wire under the terminals. Break the wire run to provide
supervision of the connection.
