Notification Appliances

L-Series, Indoor Strobes and Horn Strobes

Indoor Selectable-Output Horns, Strobes and Horn Strobes for Wall Applications
General
The L-Series audible visible notification products offer the most versatile and easy-to-
use line of horns, strobes, and horn strobes in the industry. In addition, this product
includes lower current draws and a modern aesthetic design which reduce installation
times and maximize profits.
The following devices offer a variety of design options, so that the L-Series can be
used for any application requirement.
• White and red plastic housings
• Standard and small footprint devices
• Plain, FIRE, and FUEGO-printed devices Wall Horn, Horn Strobe
Similar to the entire L-Series product line, the wall-mount horns, strobes, and horn
strobes include a variety of features that increase their application versatility while
simplifying the installation. All devices offer a plug-in design so that there is minimal
intrusion into the backbox. These features make installations fast and foolproof while
eliminating costly and time-consuming ground faults.
To further simplify the installation and protect devices from construction damage, the
L-Series uses a mounting plate for all standard and compact models that include an
onboard shorting spring. This feature allows Installers to test wiring continuity before
the device is installed.
Installers can also easily adapt devices to suit a wide range of application requirements using the following features:
• Field-selectable candela settings
• Automatic selection of 12- or 24-volt operation
• Rotary switch for horn tones with two volume selections

Notes:
1. Full Wave Rectified (FWR) voltage is a non-
regulated, time-varying power source that is
used on some power supply and panel outputs.
2. P, S, PC, and SC products will operate at 12 V
nominal only for 15 and 30 cd.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY RANGES
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0
– 49°C/32 – 120°F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2%
RH (noncondensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F).
However, the useful life of the system's standby batteries
and the electronic components may be adversely affected
by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore,
it is recommended that this system and its peripherals be
installed in an environment with a normal room
temperature of 15 – 27°C/60 – 80°F.
