Amseco’s Select-A-Chime Series is designed to provide audible (private mode)
for fi re alarm protection systems. It meets or exceeds NFPA/ ANSI audible
emergency evacuation signal and UL 464 (private mode).
The CM24W provides a continuous tone or temporal pattern (code 3) tone when
constant voltage from a FACP is applied. Each tone has two dBA level settings
(high or low) that can be achieved with the use of mini-jumpers located on the
back of the unit. The CM24W Series can be connected either independently or in
unison. These appliances are polarized for connecting to supervised fi re
alarm circuits.
The CM24W can by synchronized by using the SMD10-3A Sync Module.
