u 75 cd strobe meets ADA 4.28.3 requirements
The Gentex WGE family of weatherproof low‑profile
strobes and horn strobes offer dependable visible and
audible alarms. The horns have a synchronizable
(using the AVSM Synchronization Module) chime and
whoop tones. You can select high or low volume and
choose a 2400 Hz (remote signaling) tone or a low
frequency (1500 Hz to 3000 Hz) mechanical sounding
tone where doors could prevent hearing the other
tone. They are easily field‑changeable from temporal
Code 3 to a continuous tone. They are shipped from
the factory on the temporal lower frequency mode,
and come standard with a rugged die‑cast metal
mounting plate. The strobes have a low operating
current and a minimum flash rate of 1 Hz regardless of
the input voltage.
These devices are equipped with the SuperSlide
feature to test supervision and the Instant Voltage
Verification feature for measuring voltage drop draw.
The GOELP Low‑profile Outdoor Enclosure that
creates a surface‑mount look is included with each
unit. The unit and GOELP enclosure must be used
together to meet the UL outdoor listing.
