The SH-24H Select-A-Strobe/Horn™ Series provides a wide range of candela light output options in a single device. The candela settings include a 24 volt DC operation for  the 95, 110, 135, 150, 177 or 185 setting. 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, ElectroMechanical, Broadband and Chime.
The voltage input can be either regulated DC or full wave rectified (FWR) 24 volt operation with an operating range from 16 to 33 VDC.
The strobes can be synchronized using a control panel with the Potter (Amseco) sync protocol or a SMD10-3A sync module.
The SH-24H 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

CAUTION
A jumper plug is provided to test for correct wiring in the supervisory mode only. Do not pass alarm current through the jumper.
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.

WARNING
High voltage may be present inside the light assembly even though power is not connected. If access to teh coponent board is required (removal or replacement), the  capacitor must be discarged 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.
