Features

Individually addressed and controlled multi-candela TrueAlert ES

A/V (audible/visible) notification appliances provide:

• Multi-candela xenon strobe with synchronized 1 Hz flash rate and

with intensity programmable from the FACU or jumper selected as 15

cd, 30 cd, 75 cd, or 110 cd on the AV model, or 110 cd, 135 cd, or 185

cd on the AVH model

• Advanced addressable notification controlled by IDNAC SLCs.

• IDNAC SLCs provide regulated 29 VDC allowing horns to operate with

lower current

• Wiring supervision to each appliance allowing “T-tapped” connections

for Class B circuits to simplify wiring. Class A circuits require in/out

wiring.

• Self-Test Mode allows on-board sensors to detect the strobe and

horn output and then report their status to the FACU

• TrueAlert Device Reports at the FACU detailing appliance point ID,

custom label, type, and candela setting, see sample in TrueAlert

Device Reports Reference

• Magnet Test diagnostics to assist checkout and testing of appliances

and wiring

• Electrical test point access by removing the cover

• Compatibility with ADA requirements; see Installation Reference for

important installation information

• Compatibility with legacy TrueAlert addressable systems for upgrade

and replacement, see TrueAlert ES A/V LEGACY Compatibility

Reference

• Strobe operation is listed to UL Standard 1971 and ULC Standard

S526; Horn operation is listed to UL Standard 464 and ULC Standard

S525

LED indicator and magnet test feature:

• Appliance LED can be selected to display each polling cycle to

indicate appliance supervision

• When the controller is in diagnostic mode, the Magnet Test pulses

the LED to indicate appliance address and can be set to also briefly

flash the strobe and sound the horn

Mechanical design features

Mount to a 4 in. (10.16 cm) square electrical box

• Covers can be easily removed without disturbing the connected

housing and avoiding trouble conditions

• Optional red wire guards, see Product Selection

Audible notification appliance (horn):

• Harmonically rich output sound for either coded or steady operation

• Horns sound as Temporal Code 3, March Time pattern, continuous;

or Temporal Code 4, controlled separately from visible appliances on

the same two-wire circuit

• Selectable March Time rates of 20, 60, or 120 beats per minute

• Output is “high” or “low” (~5 dBA difference) selectable at the

appliance or from the controller with FACU mode selected at the

appliance
