AV1/AV2-C1D2M

1.0 Description

Detcon Model AV2-C1D2M audiovisual alarm stations are designed for installation and use in hazardous
duty, corrosive work environments. The Strobes are UL listed and CSA Certified for Class I, Division 2,
Groups A, B, C and D; Class II, Division I, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III. The siren is UL listed for Class
I, Groups B, C and D; Class II, Groups E, F, and G
light and a siren. The AV2-C1D2M 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/horn) for pre-determined hazardous environmental gas levels (toxic
or flammable) as indicated by remote mount sensors.

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

Hazardous location strobes are available in voltage ratings of 120VAC or 240VAC. The strobe light provides
80 high-intensity flashes per minute. UL listed and CSA certified for Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and
D; Class II, Division I, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III.

The light meets Type 4X watertight, dust-tight, and corrosion resistant requirements; constructed to IP66. It
has an aluminum base coated for corrosion-resistance. The dome guard fits over the plastic dome to protect it
against accidental collision with moving equipment.

. The AV1-C1D2M alarm station consists of one strobe

2.0 Installation

The assembly is mounted on a T-shaped Aluminum bracket with holes pre-drilled to accommodate (2) U-bolt
attachments on a 2.5” maximum diameter pipe. U-bolt size is 3/8-16 x 3 inches. Overall Dimensions are
33”H x 16.5”W x 18.5”D (Figure 4).

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 .

The alarm comes pre-wired for the voltage ordered from the factory (110/220VAC or 24VDC). Wiring is
installed through the opening at bottom of junction box. Connect wiring in accordance with the appropriate
wiring diagram (Figure 6 or Figure 7), AV1-C1D2M being wired for Strobe 1 only. 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.
