Introduction
The Cerberus Pyrotronics F-Series of horns and hornstrobes combines high quality electronics with the rugged durability of a metal housing, providing the penetrating sound power of an electromechanical horn while eliminating the inrush and RFI noise problems associated with mechanical signals.These units are designed for ADA applications and meet the latest requirements of NFPA 72 (the National Fire Alarm Code) and UL 1971 standards for signaling devices for the hearing impaired.
Description
The three distinct sounds (HORN, SIREN, WARBLE) are filed selectable. The
energy efficient horn design draws only 20 mA while supplying 100 dB at 10
feet. Screw Terminals are provided for both the horn and strobe and can be
configured to operate together or independently.
Units are available for flush, surface, or ceiling installation.
All strobe versions utilize a Xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry for
maximum reliability and efficiency. Strobes are available in 15, 15/75, 75 and
110 Candela ratings with various mounting configurations. The strobe lens has
a bottom material made of white Lexan with 5/8” red “FIRE” letters. The top of
the strobe has a rounded dome shape made of clear Lexan. The overall lend
height is 2.5” with a width of 1.25”.
The S15 model provides 15 cd and are used in non-sleeping areas where lower
candela is required per UL 1971.
The S17 model is for non-sleeping installations requiring 15 cd output while
also providing an ADA compliant 75 cd frontal output for public areas.
The S75 version offers a 75 cd polar output that meets ADA requirements for
regular lighted public areas while also satisfying UL 1971 in substitution of
multiple 15 cd units.
The S110 version intensifies a non-sleeping ADA area with 110 cd and can be
used in sleeping areas to help wake the hearing impaired person per UL 1971.
