General Description
The SpectrAlert series notification appliances are designed to meet the requirements of most agencies governing these devices, including: NFPA, ADA, The National Fire Alarm Code, UL, ULC, FM, CSFM, MEA. Also, check with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction for other codes or standards that may apply.
The SpectrAlert series can be installed in systems using 12- or 24­volt panels having DC or full-wave rectified (FWR) power supplies. The series can also be installed in systems requiring synchroniza tion (module MDL or compatible equivalent required) or systems that do not require synchronization (no module required).
NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of this equipment.
Fire Alarm System Considerations
Temporal and Non-Temporal Coded Signals:
The American National Standards Institute and the National Fire Alarm Code require that all horns used for building evacuation in
D900-28-00 1 I56-1796-011R
stalled after July 1, 1996, must produce Temporal Coded Signals.
Signals other than those used for evacuation purposes do not have to produce the Temporal Coded Signal. Temporal coding is accom plished by interrupting a steady sound in the following manner:
-
Power Supply Considerations
Panels typically supply DC filtered voltage or FWR (full-wave rectified) voltage. The system design engineer must calculate the number of units used in a zone based on the type of panel supply. Be certain the sum of all the device currents do not exceed the current capability of the panel. Calculations are based on using the device current found in the subsequent charts and must be the current specified for the type of panel power supply used.
-
-
Wire Sizes
The designer must be sure that the last device on the circuit has sufficient voltage to operate the device within its rated voltage. When calculating the voltage available to the last device, it is nec essary to consider the voltage drop due to the resistance of the wire. The thicker the wire, the less the voltage drop. Generally, for purposes of determining the wire size necessary for the system, it is best to consider all of the devices as “lumped” on the end of the supply circuit (simulates “worst case”).
Typical wire size resistance:
18 AWG solid: Approximately 8 ohms/1,000 ft. 16 AWG solid: Approximately 5 ohms/1,000 ft. 14 AWG solid: Approximately 3 ohms/1,000 ft. 12 AWG solid: Approximately 2 ohms/1,000 ft.
Example: Assume you have 10 devices on a zone and each re quires 50 mA average and 2000 Ft. of 14 AWG wiring (total length=outgoing +return). The voltage at the end of the loop is
0.050 amps per device x 10 devices x 3 ohms/1,000 ft. x 2000 ft =3 volts drop.
NOTE: If class “A” wiring is installed, the wire length may be up to 4 times the single wire length in this calculation.
The same number of devices using 12 AWG wire will produce only 2 volts drop. The same devices using 18 AWG wire will produce 8 volts drop. Consult your panel manufacturer’s specifications, as well as SpectrAlert’s operating voltage range to determine accept able voltage drop.

NOTE: All ‘S’ and ‘P’ models were only tested at the 8-17.5 and 16-33 Volt-FWR/DC limits. This does not include the 80% low­end or 110% high-end voltage limits.
