AV2-C1D1M

1.0 Description

Detcon Model AV2-C1D1M audio-visual alarm stations are designed for installation and use in hazardous

duty, corrosive work environments, UL listed for Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D. The alarm station
consists of two strobe lights and a siren.

The station can be wired to control circuit alarm devices for the purpose of warning personnel of hazardous
conditions. When used in conjunction with Detcon controllers, the alarm station is typically used to provide a
low alarm (strobe) and high alarm (strobe/siren) for pre-determined hazardous environmental gas levels (toxic
or flammable) as indicated by remotely mounted sensors.

The alarm station strobe lights may be configured with any combination of strobe colors such as amber, blue,
clear, green, magenta, or red. Dome guards are included. The rugged strobe lights are specifically designed
for hazardous locations or corrosive environments where a very bright visual signal is required.

1.1 Strobe

Figure 1 Strobe

Hazardous location strobe lights are available in voltage ratings of 24VDC, 120 VAC or 240 VAC.

The strobe light provides 85 high-intensity flashes per minute. The light meets Type 4X watertight, dust-tight,
and corrosion resistant requirements. It has an aluminum base coated for corrosion-resistance. The dome
guard fits over the glass dome to protect it against accidental collision with moving equipment.

2.0 Installation

The assembly is a T-shaped aluminum bracket with holes pre-drilled to accommodate (2) U-bolt attachments
up to 3”maximum diameter pipe. Overall dimensions are 41.6” H x 29.5” W x 16.625” D.

The tone for the siren is set using tone selector jumpers, J4 & J5. Each jumper consists of three pins and the
selection of appropriate tone is made by placing a jumper on two of the three pins as shown in Figure 3.

The alarm comes pre-wired for the appropriate voltage as ordered from the factory. Customer wiring is
installed through opening at bottom of lower junction box. Connect wiring in accordance with the wiring
diagrams in Figure 5 or Figure 6. Use only 12 to 18 AWG wire for power connections. Strip no more than

0.25-inch of insulation from the ends of the power leads.
