At System Sensor, Research and Development is more

solutions
than a depar tment. It’s a way of life. Ever y day we work
to design new products that utilize the most innovative
technologies in the most inventive ways…products that
are more convenient to install and more efficient to oper-
ate…products that help our customers achieve the highest
levels of reliability and economy. In other words, we make
it our business to develop advanced ideas that deliver
advanced solutions. And that is exactly what we’ve done
with the SpectrAler t® Series of notification devices.

Advanced Thinking. Advanced Performance.

SpectrAler t offers the
industr y’s most com-
plete and sophisticated
selection of strobe,
horn/strobe, speaker/
strobe and speaker-only
devices. We’ve developed
SpectrAler t models to suit
vir tually ever y building,
location and environment.
Advanced Design.
We have engineered all
SpectrAler t products to
meet or exceed code –
today and tomorrow.
We’ve worked to stan-
dardize their platforms,
fixtures and features. And
we’ve placed increasing
emphasis on developing
the type of device that
offers multiple functions
and settings, all select-
able at the unit or panel.
We have built all
SpectrAler t models for
low power consump-
tion, which means more
devices per circuit. We
have also given them the
easy-installation features
synonymous with the
SpectrAler t name. The
result is less labor, less
cost, more value.
Advanced Styling.
SpectrAler t products are
widely recognized for
their aesthetic appeal
to building owners and
occupants. Their “look” is
attractive, contemporar y
and consistent across the
entire line.
selectable

™ When it comes to strobe
notification appliances,
different interior spaces
require different intensi-
ties of light. That’s why
System Sensor developed
the newest addition to
the SpectrAler t line – the
Selectable Output Series.™
All of our wall-mounted
devices – horns, strobes,
horn/strobes, chimes,
chime/strobes, speak-
ers, and speaker/strobes
– feature Selectable
Output capability. Ever y
Selectable Output model
offers more candela set-
tings than other com-
petitive products. And all
operate at dual voltage
levels, self-adjusting for
either 24 or 12 volts. At
24 volts, they can be set
to provide light intensities
of 15, 15/75, 30, 75 or
110 candela. At 12 volts
they will output 15 can-
dela or 15/75.
The Selectable Output
Series is remarkably easy
to set. A slide switch
on the back adjusts the
candela level, which is
displayed in a window that
remains clearly visible
once the unit is installed.
In horn/strobe models, a
three position DIP switch
selects high or low vol-
ume, temporal or non-tem-
poral, and mechanical or
3000 Hz.
In addition to their unique
advantages, these new
products come with the
other features that set
SpectrAler t wall-mount
notification appliances
apar t. These include their
low current draw and the
QuickClick™ easy-installa-
tion system.
With their wide range
of candela settings, the
Selectable Output Series
can be placed in almost
any location, which makes
them remarkably easy
to spec and to use. And
with their cost-saving fea-
tures, they are also easy
on the bottom line. Put it
all together and you have
more of what multiple out-
put products are designed
to provide: flexibility and
value.

Ceiling-mount SpectrAlert™
Since their introduction,
the SpectrAler t series of
ceiling-mounted notfica-
tion devices has become
widely regarded as the
most complete and inno-
vative in the industr y.
Many of these products
are the first of their kind,
and the series itself was
the first of its breadth to
feature a unified circular
design.
Based on the same prin-
ciples as the popular
SpectrAler t wall-mount
models, the ceiling-mount
units draw up to 40% less
candela settings and a
method for dispersing
light that is unusually
effective. With their labor
saving features such as
captured mounting screws
and dip switch horn tone
selectors, SpectrAler t
ceiling-mount units are
quick and easy to install.
They are also appealing
to end users. A distinc-
tive circular design blends
with other ceiling-mount
devices, such as smoke
detectors, provding an
aesthetic that is carried
throughout the entire ceil-
ing line. The result is an
