Amseco’s Select-A-Horn/Strobe Series is designed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and meet UL Standard 1971 requirements for emergency signaling devices for the hearing impaired.
The SH24W series features a unique candela intensity fi eld selector switch for alternating the candela output 15cd to 30cd. The horn provides two different fi eld selectable tones, and a high/low output setting that can be achieved with the use of mini-jumpers located on the back of the unit. These appliances are polarized for connecting to supervised fi re alarm circuits. The strobe is designed with a xenon fl ash tube and provides a candela intensity fi eld selector switch for maximum performance.
The SH24W-1530 can be synchronized by using the SMD10-3A Sync Module to comply with NFPA recommendations concerning photosensitive epilepsy when installing more than two visual appliances within the fi eld of view. The strobe signals are listed for indoor use, wall mount, under UL 1971 Standard.

Engineering Specifi cations
The audible and visual alarm indicating appliances shall be amseco model SH24W-1530 or equivalent device. The strobe shall be listed under UL 1971 Standard for signaling devices for the hearing impaired and shall be approved for fi re protective service. The candela output shall be fi eld selectable, having a dual setting of 15cd or 30cd output. The horn shall provide two different fi eld selectable, temporal, or steady tones, and a high/low fi eld selectable sound ouput setting. The signaling strobe shall operate on 24V DC from a non-coded, regulated, DC supply or full-wave rectifi ed, unfi ltered supply. The horn may operate on 24V DC coded system. The strobe shall be designed to produce one signal fl ash per second with continuously applied minimum voltage. The strobe/horn shall have a universal back mounting plate, capable of wall mounting
to a back box. When strobe synchronization is required, the strobe/horn shall be compatible with the Amseco SMD10-3A (daisy chain) or other source of Amseco sync protocol. Audible and visual signaling devices shall be installed in accordance with current NFPA guidelines.

Installation Options
WARNING
Strobes must be used only on circuits with continuously operating voltage. DO NOT use strobe on coded or interrupted circuits in which the applied voltage is interrupted ON and OFF as the strobe may fail to fl ash. The applied voltage must be within its rated input voltage range. Fuse ratings on signaling circuits must handle peak currents from all devices connected to those circuits.
