NOTIFIER CHSCRL Selectable Output Chimes and Chime or Strobes
Audio/Visual Devices
General
System Sensor L-Series selectable-output chimes and chime/strobes are rich
with features guaranteed to cut installation times and maximize profits with
lower current draw and mod-ern aesthetics.
The System Sensor L-Series product line of wall and ceiling-mount chimes and
chime strobes include a variety of features that increase their application
versatility while simplifying the installation. With white and red plastic
housings, System Sen-sor L-Series can meet virtually any application
requirement.
Selectable-output chimes and chime/strobes are private mode notification
appliances used to alert trained personnel to inves-tigate possible emergency
situations and to take appropriate action. Security guard and nurse
workstations are ideal loca-tions for chime products.
All devices feature plug-in design with minimal intrusion into the back box,
making the installation fast and foolproof while virtually eliminating costly
and time-consuming ground faults.
Installers can easily adapt devices to a wide range of applica-tion
requirements using field-selectable candela settings, auto-matic selection of
12-or-24 volt operation, and a rotary switch for chime tones and two volume
selections.

Architect/Engineer Specifications
GENERAL
System Sensor L-Series chimes and chime strobes shall mount to a standard 4 ×
4 × 1½-inch back box, 4-inch octagon back box, single-gang 2 × 4 × 17/8-inch
back box, or double-gang back box. A universal mounting plate shall be used
for mounting products. The notification appliance circuit wiring shall
terminate at the universal mounting plate. Also, System Sensor L-Series
products, when used with the Sync•Circuit Module accessory, shall be powered
from a non-coded notifi-cation appliance circuit output and shall operate on a
nominal 12 or 24 volts. When used with the Sync•Circuit Module, 12-volt rated
notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 8.5 and 17.5
volts; 24-volt rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate
between 16.5 and 33 volts. Indoor L-Series products shall operate between 32
and 120 degrees Fahrenheit from a regulated DC, or full-wave rectified, unfil-
tered power supply. Chime strobes shall have field-selectable candela settings
of 15, 30, 75, 95, 110, 135, and 185 for wall units and 15, 30, 75, 95, 115,
150, and 177 for ceiling units.
CHIME STROBE COMBINATION
The chime strobe shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance Model ___
listed to UL 1638 and UL 464. The chime strobe shall comply with the Americans
with Disabilities Act requirements for visible signaling appliances, flashing
at 1Hz over the strobe’s entire operating voltage range. The strobe light
shall consist of a xenon flash tube and associated lens/reflector system. The
chime shall have two audibility options and an option to switch between
temporal three pat-tern, non-temporal (continuous) pattern, 1 second chime
pat-tern, 1/4 second chime pattern, 5 second whoop chime pattern. These
options are set by a multiple position switch.
SYNCHRONIZATION MODULE
The module shall be a System Sensor Sync•Circuit ___ listed to UL 464 and
shall be approved for fire protective ser-vice. The module shall synchronize
SpectrAlert strobes at 1Hz and all available chime tones. Also, while
operating the strobes, the module shall silence the chimes on chime/strobe
models over a single pair of wires. The module shall mount to
a 411/16 × 4 11/16 × 21/8-inch back box. The module shall also control two
Style Y (class B) circuits or one Style Z (class A) circuit. The module shall
synchronize multiple zones. Daisy chaining two or more synchronization modules
together will synchronize all the zones they control. The module shall not
operate on a coded power supply.

Notes
- Full Wave Rectified (FWR) voltage is a non-filtered, time varying power source that is used on some power supply and panel outputs.
- CHS products will operate at 12 V nominal only for 15 and 30 cd.
Tone Selection
Chime tone selection is accomplished by using the rotary switch on the back of
the product.
