Dual Strobe Expander Plates for
Emergency Communications
User Guide

General

The new SpectrAlert® Advance Dual Strobe and Dual Strobe with Speaker Expander Plates lower costs and improve aesthetics by performing the functions of 2-3 devices for emergency communications applications. Cut costs, speed installation, and improve aesthetics on emergency communications applications that require fire and emergency warnings by combining the functions of two to three devices on a single mounting plate and back box. SpectrAlert Advance Dual Strobe and Dual Strobe with Speaker Expander Plates provide dual strobe and speaker strobe functionality that’s easy for a single person to wire and install. Simply mount the plate to a junction box and connect the field wiring to the terminals. To complete the installation, hinge and attach the strobe or speaker strobe device with a single captured mounting screw. Dual Strobe and Dual Strobe with Speaker Expander Plates are designed to be used in 12 or 24 volt, DC or FWR (full wave rectified) systems. Amber lens strobes are UL 1638-Listed (Visual Signaling Appliances) for Private Mode General Utility Signaling. A table is also provided to show the candela rating per the UL 1971 test procedures. All SpectrAlert Advance products are suitable for use in synchronized systems. The System Sensor MDL module may be used to provide synchronization.
