INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
AUDIBLE HORN STROBE TWO WIRE APPLIANCES
(WALL MOUNT VERSIONS)
Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL:
DMP’s Audible Horn Strobe Appliances require only 2-wires for operation of the horn and strobe appliance and provide a selectable
continuous or Code 3 Horn tone and continuous strobe when connected directly to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). They can
also provide a synchronized Code 3 horn tone and synchronized strobe when used in conjunction with a Sync Module (831) or Dual
Sync Module (832). They are the ideal choice for applications where the audible silence feature is required. The Audible Horn Strobe
Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971 for Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired and UL Standard 464 for Audible
Signal Appliances. The 15 candela wall mounted strobes are listed at 15 candela under UL Standard 1971 and meet 75 candela
intensity on axis with low current draw. They are listed for indoor use only and equipped with a Horn Strobe Mounting Plate (823)
that can be mounted to single-gang, double-gang, 4” backbox, 100mm European backbox or SHBB surface backbox (See Mounting
Options). These strobe models are Listed for wall mounting only. T he Audible Horn Strobe Appliances use a Xenon flashtube with
solid state circuitry enclosed in a rugged Lexan lens to provide maximum visibility and reliability for effective visible signaling.
Audible Horn Strobe Appliances can be field set for High (HI) or Low (LO) dBA sound output.
These strobe models are designed for use with either filtered DC (VDC) or unfiltered Full-Wave-Rectified (VRMS) inp ut voltage. All
inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a FACP.

IN TABLE 1). THIS SETTING IS ACCEPTABLE ONLY FOR GENERAL SIGNALING (NON-FIRE ALARM ) USE. USE
THE “HIGH” dBA SETTING WITH THIS TO NE FOR PUBLIC MODE SERVICE.
NOTES:
1. Strobes will produce 1 flash per second over the listed voltage range.
2. Anechoic dBA is measured on axis in a non-reflective (free field) test room using fast meter response. For peak dBA (measured
with peak meter response), add 5dBA to anechoic values as shown in Table 2. Reverberant dBA is a minimum UL rating based on
sound pressure measurements in a reverberant test room.
3. All models are UL Listed for indoor use with a temperature range of +32oF to +120oF (0oC to +49oC) an d ma xi mum hu mid it y of
85% RH.
Check the minimum and maximum output of the power supply and standby battery and subtract the voltage drop from the circuit
wiring resistance to determine the applied voltage to the signaling appliance.
WARNING: ALTHOUGH UL TESTING HAS VERIFIED THAT THESE PRODUCTS FUNCTION EVEN AT 80% OF
THEIR MINIMUM RATING AND 110% OF THEIR MAXIMUM RATING, DM P STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT
THE VOLTAGE APPLIED TO THESE PRODUCTS BE WITHIN THEIR RATED VOLTAGE RANGE. THE
APPLICATION OF IMPROPER VOLTAGE MAY RESULT IN DEGRADED OPERATION OR DAMAGE TO THESE
PRODUCTS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU
AND/OR OTHERS.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TOTAL AVERAGE CURRENT, TOTAL PEAK CURRENT AND TOTAL
INRUSH CURRENT REQUIRED BY ALL APPLIANCES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM’S PRIMARY
AND SECONDARY POWER SOURCES, SIGNALING CIRCUITS, SYNC MODULE AND DUAL SYNC MODULE DO
NOT EXCEED THE POWER SOURCES’ RATED CAPACITY OR THE CURRENT RATINGS OF ANY FUSES ON THE
CIRCUITS TO WHICH THESE APPLIANCES ARE WIRED. OVERLOADING POWER SOURCES OR EXCEEDING
FUSE RATINGS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER AND FAILURE TO ALERT OCCUPANTS DURING AN
EMERGENCY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU
AND/OR OTHERS.
When calculating the total average, peak and inrush currents: Use Table 3 to determine the highest value of “Rated Average Current”
for an individual strobe (across the expected operating voltage range of the strobe), and use Table 3 to determine the highest value of
“Rated Inrush Current” or “Rated Peak Current” (whichever is higher) of an individual strobe (across the expected voltage range of the
strobe), then multiply these values by the total number of strobes; be sure to add the currents for any other appliances, including
audible signaling appliances, powered by the same source and include any required safety factors.
If the inrush current or peak current exceeds the power supplies’ inrush capacity, the output voltage provided by the power supplies
may drop below the listed voltage range of the appliances connected to the supply and the voltage may not recover in some types of
power supplies. For example, an auxiliary power supply that lacks filtering at its output stage (either via lack of capacitance and/or
lack of battery backup across the output) may exhibit this characteristic.
CAUTION: Audible Horn Strobe are not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off.

WARNING: WHEN INSTALLING STROBES IN AN OPEN OFFICE OR OTHER AREAS CONTAINING PARTITIONS OR OTHER
VIEWING OBSTRUCTIONS, SPECIAL ATTENTION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE LOCATION OF THE STROBES SO THAT
THEIR OPERATING EFFECT CAN BE SEEN BY ALL INTENDED VIEWERS, WITH THE INTENSITY, NUMB ER, AND TYPE OF
STROBES BEING SUFFICIENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INTENDED VIEWER IS ALERTED BY PROPER ILLUMINATION,
REGARDLESS OF THE VIEWER'S ORIENTATION. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
WARNING: THE AUDIBLE HORN STROBE APPLIANCES MUST BE FIELD SET TO THE DESIRED TONE AND dBA S OUND
OUTPUT LEVEL BEFORE THEY ARE INSTALLED. THIS IS DONE BY PROPERLY INSERTING JUMPER PLUGS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS. INCORRECT SETTINGS WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER PERFORMANCE,
WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
SOUND OUTPUT (SPL) SETTINGS:
NOTE: The Code 3 Horn incorporates the temporal pattern (1/2 second on, 1/2 second off, 1/2 second on, 1/2 second off, 1/2 second
on, 1-1/2 off and repeat) specified by ANSI/NFPA for standard emergency evacuation signaling. The Code 3 Horn should be used
only for fire evacuation signaling and not for any other purpose.
