SpectrAlert® Advance
Field-Selectable
Mass Notification Devices
General
SpectrAlert® Advance mass notification devices and accessories combine application versatility with all the time- and
money-saving benefits of the SpectrAlert Advance line.
SpectrAlert Advance, the broadest and most versatile line of
notification devices available, includes a wide range of
devices to meet mass notification application requirements.
ALERT-printed on white housings, SW-ALERT, SWH-ALERT
and SPSW-ALERT amber lens strobes and speaker strobes
provide visual signaling for mass notification in compliance
with ANSI/UL 1638 Standard for General Signaling Visible
Appliances. Other ALERT-printed models provide clear
lenses for use with color lens strobe attachments (amber,
blue, green, and red) that easily attach to strobe and speaker
strobe devices without a candela derating.
In addition, SpectrAlert Advance mass notification devices
include plain (non-printed) strobes, horn strobes and speaker
strobes. These devices, along with ALERT-printed devices
and SpectrAlert Advance accessories, can meet a wide
range of requirements for indoor and outdoor applications,
including mass notification, general signaling, severe
weather and emergency response.
All SpectrAlert Advance mass notification and general signaling devices are compatible with the entire SpectrAlert
Advance and include all the same time- and money-saving
innovations. For example, plug-in designs simplify installation
and reduce costly ground faults; universal mounting plates
with onboard shorting springs test wiring continuity to speed
installation and protect devices from damage; and fieldselectable settings provide versatility and enable installers to
quickly set each device to meet application requirements.
Mass Notification Features
• Plain or ALERT-printed white housings
• Amber lens strobes and speaker strobes
• Color lens attachments for use with clear lens wall or ceiling strobes
• Meets DOD specification requirements

ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS
GENERAL
SpectrAlert Advance strobes and horn strobes shall mount to
a standard 4” x 4” x 1.5” back box, 4-inch octagon back box
or double-gang back box. Two-wire products shall also mount
to a single-gang 2” x 4” x 1 7/8” (5.08 x 10.16 x 4.76 cm) back
box. SpectrAlert Advance speaker strobes shall mount to a 4
x 4 x 2 1/8-inch (10.16 x 10.16 x 5.40 cm) back box. A universal mounting plate shall be used for mounting ceiling and wall
products. The notification appliance circuit wiring and amplifier wiring shall terminate at the universal mounting plate.
Also, SpectrAlert Advance products, when used with the
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-voltrated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate
between 17 and 33 volts. Indoor SpectrAlert Advance products shall operate between 32°F and 120°F (0°C and 49°C)
from a regulated DC or full-wave rectified unfiltered power
supply. Strobes, horn strobes and speaker strobes shall have
field-selectable candela settings, including 15, 15/75, 30, 75,
95, 110, 115, 135, 150, 177 and 185.
STROBE
The strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance
Model _______ listed to UL 1971 (clear lens strobes) and
shall be approved for fire protective service or shall be
approved for fire protective service as listed in ANSI/UL 1638
(amber lens strobes). The strobe shall be wired as a primarysignaling notification appliance and comply with the Ameri-
DN-60517:A • 06/02/2009 — Page 1 of 6
cans 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.
HORN STROBE COMBINATION
The horn strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert
Advance Model _______ listed to UL 1971 and UL 464 and
shall be approved for fire protective service. The horn strobe
shall be wired as a primary-signaling notification appliance
and 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 horn shall have three audibility options and
an option to switch between a temporal three-pattern and a
