General
System Sensor SpectrAlert® Advance selectable-output
chimes and chime/strobes are private-mode notification appliances used to alert trained personnel to investigate possible
emergency situations and to take appropriate action. Security
guard and nurse workstations are ideal locations for chime
products.
SpectrAlert Advance chimes and chime/strobes are rich with
features guaranteed to cut installation times and maximize
profits. The SpectrAlert Advance series of notification appliances is designed to simplify your installations, with features
such as: plug-in designs, instant feedback messages to
ensure correct installation of individual devices, and seven
field-selectable candela settings for chime/strobes.
More specifically, when installing Advance products, first
attach a universal mounting plate to a four-inch (10.16 cm)
square, four-inch octagonal, single-gang, or double-gang junction box.
Then, connect the notification appliance circuit wiring to the
SEMS terminals on the mounting plate.
Finally, attach the chime or chime/strobe to the mounting plate
by inserting the product’s tabs in the mounting plate’s grooves.
The device will rotate into position, locking the product’s pins
into the mounting plate’s terminals. The device will temporarily
hold in place with a catch until it is secured with a captive
mounting screw.
SpectrAlert Advance products allow you to choose:
• 12 or 24 volts.
• At 24 volts, 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95, 110, or 115 candela by
way of rear-mounted slide-switch and front-view window.
• Chime tones and volume by way of rotary switch.
Features
• Plug-in design.
• Shorting spring on mounting plate for pre-installation continuity check.
• Captive mounting screw.
• Torx screw for tamper resistance.
• Field-selectable candela settings: 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95,
110, 115.
• Automatic selection of 12- or 24-volt operation at 15 and 15/
75 candela.
• Minimal intrusion into the backbox.
• Rotary switch for tone selection.
• Two volume settings.
• Electrically compatible with existing SpectrAlert products.

Chime (CHW) Chime/Strobe (CHSR)
Sync•Circuit™ Module accessory, shall be powered from a
non-coded notification appliance circuit output and shall
operate on a nominal 12 or 24 volts. When used with the
Sync•Circuit Module, 12-volt rated notification appliance circuit
outputs shall operate between 9 and 17.5 volts; 24-volt rated
notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 17
and 33 volts. Indoor SpectrAlert Advance products shall
operate between 32°F and 120°F from a regulated DC, or fullwave-rectified, unfiltered power supply. Chime/strobes shall
have field-selectable candela settings of 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95,
110, and 115.
CHIME/STROBE COMBINATION
The chime/strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert
Advance Model _______ listed to UL/ULC 1638 and UL/ULC
464. The chime/strobe shall comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act requirements for visible signaling appliances,
flashing at 1 Hz over the strobe’s entire operating voltage
range. The strobe light shall consist of a xenon flash tube and
associated lens/reflector system. The chime shall have two
audibility options and an option to switch between a temporal
three-pattern and a non-temporal (continuous) pattern. These
options are set by a multiple position switch.
SYNCHRONIZATION MODULE
The module shall be a System Sensor Sync•Circuit _______
listed to UL/ULC 464 and shall be approved for fire protective
service. The module shall synchronize SpectrAlert strobes at 1
Hz and chimes at Temporal 3. Also, while operating the
strobes, the module shall silence the chimes on chime/strobe
models over a single pair of wires. The module shall mount to
a 4.688" x 4.688" x 2.125" backbox. The module shall also
control two Style Y (Class B) circuits or one Style Z (Class A)
circuit. The module shall synchronize multiple zones. Daisychaining two or more synchronization modules together will
synchronize all the zones they control. The module shall not
operate on a coded power supply.
Operating Specifications
• Standard operating temperature: 32°F to 120°F.
• Humidity range: 10% to 93% non-condensing (indoor
products).
• Strobe flash rate: 1 flash per second.
dn-7089:a3 • 4/20/10 — Page 1 of 4
• Nominal voltage: regulated 12 VDC/FWR or regulated 24
VDC/FWR.
• Operating voltage range: 8 V to 17.5 V (12 V nominal); or
16 V to 33 V (24 V nominal). NOTE: CHS products will
operate at 12 V nominal only for 15 cd and 15/75 cd.
• Input terminal wire gauge: 12 to 18 AWG.
• Chime/strobe dimensions (including lens): 5.6" H x 4.7"
W x 2.5" D.
• Chime dimensions: 5.6" H x 4.7" W x 1.3" D.
