The SH-1224 Strobe/Horn Series provides a wide range of candela light output options in a single device. The candela settings include a 12 or 24 volt DC operation for the 15, 35 and 60 (75 on axis) candela settings and 24 volt DC operation for the 15, 35, 60, 75, 95 and 110 candela settings. The candela setting is displayed through the front window and is selectable using a drum wheel.
The horn settings include Temporal, Non-Temporal, March Time and a Chime sound. The horn also has Low, Mid and High volume settings for each pattern and tone. The tones include 2400 Hz, Electro Mechanical, Broadband and Chime.
The voltage input can be either regulated DC or full wave rectified (FWR) 12 volt or 24 volt operation with an operating range from 8 to 33 V DC. The strobes can be synchronized using a control panel with the Potter (Amseco) sync protocol or a SMD10-3A sync module.
The SH-1224 utilizes a universal mounting plate that will mount on a single gang, double gang, octagon and 4″ square electrical boxes. The back plate allows the installer to mount the plate and connect the wire connections. The strobe attaches in a hinge fashion from the top and is secured by a single mounting screw. The strobe completely covers the mounting back plate, therefore it can be mounted before other trades work is completed and not affect the final look.
Installation
Note: Installation must comply in accordance with applicable standards.
Ordering Information
Dimensions: inches (mm)
Light output in precentage when measured from the following directions per UL 1971.

though power is not connected. If access to teh coponent board is required
(removal or replacement), the capacitor must be discharged by touching a wire
to both ends of the flashtube.
DO NOT attempt to touch or move the assembly until the capacitor has been
discharged.
