Amseco’s Bell/Select-A-Strobe Series is designed to be ADA compliant and meet UL standard 1971 requirements for
emergency signaling devices for the hearing impaired. The strobe features a unique candela intensity tamper-proof field selector switch for switching the candela output from 15cd to 30cd. The selector switch is accessible without the need to disassembled the unit. The Bell/Strobe combination is polarized for connecting to supervised fire alarm circuits. The bell is motor driven and draws as little as 12.1mA at 24V DC and is available in 6”, 8”, and 10”.

The Bell/Strobe combination is polarized for connecting to supervised fire alarm circuits. The series is only available with a red housing, 15cd or 30cd, in 24V DC. The strobe can be synchronized by using the SMD10-3A sync module to comply with NFPA recommendations concerning photosensitive epilepsy when installing two or more visual appliances within the field of view. The strobe signals are listed for indoor use, ceiling and wall mount, under UL 1971 standard.

The SB24 Bell Strobe Series is recommended for use in areas such as; meeting rooms, schools, corridors, apartments, office buildings, restaurants, hotels, and any other application where effective audible visual warning is required by federal, state, or local authority having jurisdiction.
