TrueAlert Addressable Notification Appliances
UL, ULC Listed* Wall and Ceiling Mount Addressable Speaker
and Speaker Visible Notification Appliances
Features
Individually addressed and controlled Speaker
(S/O) and Speaker Visible (S/V) notification
appliances
Advanced addressable notification controlled by IDNAC
SLCs provides regulated 29 VDC for low current operation
even under battery backup.
Wiring supervision is electronically monitored and
allows audio wiring to be T-tapped for class B wiring,
reducing wiring costs and wiring distances.
Speaker selectivity is controlled by the panel. Only those
speakers that are needed are connected to the audio
NAC.
Separate appliance and cover selection greatly simplifies
the ordering and installation process.
Strobe intensity can be programmed from the control
panel or the device for S/V models.
Self-Test Mode allows on-board sensors to detect the
strobe and speaker output and then report their status to
the control panel.
Wiring terminals separate from the Audio terminals.
TrueAlert Device Reports at the control panel detailing
appliance point ID, custom label, type, and candela
setting.
Magnet test diagnostics to assist checkout and testing of
appliances and wiring.
Compatibility with ADA requirements.
LED indicator and magnet test feature
Appliance LED can be selected to display each polling
cycle to indicate appliance supervision
In diagnostic mode, the magnet test pulses the LED to
indicate appliance address and pulses to indicate the
intensity selection; a brief output of the strobe is also
selectable to confirm operation
Mechanical design features
Rugged, high impact, flame retardant thermoplastic
housings are available for wall or ceiling mount models
Covers are available in red or white with various
lettering options
Covers can be easily removed without disturbing the
connected housing and avoiding trouble conditions
In/out wiring terminals for 18 AWG to 12 AWG
Mounts to 4” square 2 ⅛” gang US electrical boxes

Description
Wall and ceiling mount addressable speaker and
speaker visible appliances provide convenient
installation to standard electrical boxes. The speaker is
individually addressed and individually controlled with
power, supervision, and control supplied from a Simplex
fire alarm control panel IDNAC Signaling Line Circuit
(SLC). Audio is provided by a panel that supports audio
output or from a separate audio source. Appliances use a
multi-tapped speaker for audio/tone notification.
Strobe Application Reference
Proper selection of visible notification is dependent on
occupancy, location, local codes, and proper applications
of: the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code
(NFPA 72), ANSI A117.1; the appropriate model
building code: BOCA, ICBO, or SBCCI; and the
application guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA).
IDNAC SLC Operation Advantage
TrueAlert Addressable speaker and speaker
visible appliances on IDNAC SLCs provide visible
and audio notification using two separate two-wire
circuits that also confirms connection to the individual
notification appliance’s electronic circuit. This operation
increases circuit supervision integrity by providing
supervision that extends beyond the appliance wiring
connections.
Reduced current usage on IDNAC SLCs
A constant 29 VDC source voltage is maintained, even
during battery standby. This allows appliances to operate
at higher voltage with lower current and ensuring a
consistent current draw and voltage drop margin under
both primary power and secondary battery standby.
Efficiencies include wiring distances up to 2 to 3 times
farther than with conventional notification, support for
more appliances per IDNAC SLC, use of smaller gauge
wiring, or combinations of these benefits.
Reducing Installation and Testing Time
With separate controls on the same two-wire SLC,
installation time and expense for both retrofit and new
construction can be significantly reduced. When Class B
wiring is used, wiring can be “T” tapped, allowing more
savings in distance, wire, conduit (size and utilization), and
overall installation efficiency. Use of the magnet test feature
improves installation efficiency. TrueAlert device reports
conveniently identify information about each connected
appliance.
TrueAlert Addressable Wiring Isolator
Isolator Model 4905-9929 is available for remote
mounting on TrueAlert addressable circuits to isolate short
circuited wiring from functioning wiring. Refer to data sheet
S4905-0001 for additional information.
TrueAlert ES Diagnostics
Test Features
Controllers can be selected to pulse each appliance’s LED
when it receives a supervision poll. When the controller is
selected for diagnostic mode, the appliance magnet test
feature provides a response at the individual appliance being
tested.
Silent Appliance Magnet Test
The appliance LED pulses sequentially to conveniently
indicate the appliance’s address when a magnet is applied.
Operational Appliance Testing
In this test mode, after the address is indicated by pulsing the
appliance LED, the strobe will briefly flash to indicate
proper operation.
TrueStart Instrument Two (TSIT)
The 2nd generation of the Simplex TrueStart Test
Instrument adds testing of IDNAC SLC wiring and
TrueAlert (and TrueAlert ES) appliances to its ability to test
IDCs, NACs, and IDNet communications before connection
to the control panel. Please contact your local Simplex
representative for additional information.
