The Gentex Commander² Low‑frequency Horns
(GEH24) offer a dependable audible alarm and a low
current draw.
Functions
Easy Installation and Testing
The user can wire then install the entire system,
reducing installation and operating costs. Use the
SuperSlide feature to test supervision.
Horn Output
The horns provide a selection of high or low volumes
with a peak sound of 100 dBA or greater at 10 ft
(3 m). They offer a choice between a 2400 Hz (remote
signaling) tone or a broadband low frequency
(1500 Hz to 3000 Hz) mechanical sounding
(evacuation) tone where closed doors could prevent
hearing the other tone. The user can also select either
continuous or temporal Code 3 tone output, and
synchronize the temporal signal by using the AVS
Series Synchronization Modules or a compatible
control panel.
Certifications and approvals

The D7022 must be set for 24 VDC operation and
requires the AVS44 or AVSM Synchronization Modules
for synchronization.
2
When used with a D7039 Multiplex Expansion
Module, the FPD-7024 and D7024 become
addressable FACPs.
3
For synchronization, use the AVS44 or AVSM
Synchronization Modules with these control panels.
4
The FPD-7024 is not UL864 9th edition approved for
use with the Gentex synch protocol.
Mounting Considerations
Outdoor Applications
For an outdoor application or a severe environment
(NEMA 3R) application, the GEH24 Series Horns must
be surface mounted on a flat wall in a GOE Outdoor
Enclosure. Use a watertight conduit fitting.
Indoor Applications
Install the horns with their tops at least 90 in. (2.3 m)
above the floor and no closer than 6 in. (15.2 cm) to
the ceiling. The horns are equipped with a four‑inch
square mounting plate that can be attached as follows:

Shipping Information
The horns are delivered from the factory set to the
temporal lower frequency mode. Also included is a
locking mechanism that secures the product to the
bracket without any screws showing.
Wiring
The input terminals accept wires with diameters
between 18 AWG and 12 AWG (ISO 0.75 mm2 and
4 mm2).
