General
SpectrAlert® Advance selectable-output chimes and chime/
strobes are private-mode notification appliances used to alert
trained personnel to investigate possible emergency situations
and to take appropriate action. Security guard and nurse work-
stations are ideal locations for chime products.
SpectrAlert Advance chimes and chime/strobes are rich with
features guaranteed to cut installation times and maximize
profits. The SpectrAlert Advance series of notification appli-
ances is designed to simplify your installations, with features
such as: plug-in designs, instant feedback messages to
ensure correct installation of individual devices, and seven
field-selectable candela settings for chime/strobes.
More specifically, when installing Advance products, first
attach a universal mounting plate to a four-inch (10.16 cm)
square, four-inch octagonal, single-gang, or double-gang junc-
tion box.
Then, connect the notification appliance circuit wiring to the
SEMS terminals on the mounting plate.
Finally, attach the chime or chime/strobe to the mounting plate
by inserting the product’s tabs in the mounting plate’s grooves.
The device will rotate into position, locking the products pins
into the mounting plate’s terminals. The device will temporarily
hold in place with a catch until it is secured with a captive
mounting screw.
SpectrAlert Advance products allow you to choose:
12 or 24 volts.
At 24 volts, 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95, 110, or 115 candela by
way of rear-mounted slide-switch and front-view window.
Chime tones and volume by way of rotary switch.

Engineering Specifications
SpectrAlert Advance chimes and chime/strobes shall mount to
a standard 4.0" x 4.0" x 1.5" (10.16 x 10.16 x 3.81 cm) back-
box, 4.0" (10.16 cm) octagonal backbox, single-gang 2.0" x
4.0" x 1.875" (5.08 x 10.16 x 4.763 cm) backbox, or double-
gang backbox. A universal mounting plate shall be used for
mounting products. The notification appliance circuit wiring
shall terminate at the universal mounting plate. Also, SpectrA-
lert Advance products, when used with the Sync•Circuit™
Module accessory, shall be powered from a non-coded notifi-
cation appliance circuit output and shall operate on a nominal
12 or 24 volts. When used with the Sync•Circuit Module, 12-
volt rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate
between 9 and 17.5 volts; 24-volt rated notification appliance
circuit outputs shall operate between 17 and 33 volts. Indoor
SpectrAlert Advance products shall operate between 32°F and
120°F (0°C and 49°C) from a regulated DC, or full-wave-recti-
fied, unfiltered power supply. Chime/strobes shall have field-
selectable candela settings of 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 95, 110, and
115.
CHIME/STROBE COMBINATION
The chime/strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert
Advance Model _______ listed to CAN/ULC S525 and S526.
The chime/strobe shall comply with the Americans with Dis-
abilities Act requirements for visible signaling appliances,
flashing at 1 Hz over the strobes entire operating voltage
range. The strobe light shall consist of a xenon flash tube and
associated lens/reflector system. The chime shall have two
audibility options and an option to switch between a temporal
three-pattern and a non-temporal (continuous) pattern. These
options are set by a multiple position switch.
SYNCHRONIZATION MODULE
The module shall be a System Sensor Sync•Circuit _______
listed to ULC 464 and shall be approved for fire protective ser-
vice. The module shall synchronize SpectrAlert strobes at 1
Hz and chimes at Temporal 3. Also, while operating the
strobes, the module shall silence the chimes on chime/strobe
models over a single pair of wires. The module shall mount to
a 4.688" x 4.688" x 2.125" (11.906 x 11.906 x 5.398 cm) back-
box. The module shall also control two Style Y (Class B) cir-
cuits or one Style Z (Class A) circuit. The module shall
synchronize multiple zones. Daisy-chaining two or more syn-
chronization modules together will synchronize all the zones
they control. The module shall not operate on a coded power
supply.
