TrueAlert Addressable Notification Appliances
Ceiling Mount Addressable Speaker Visible (S/V) Notification Appliances
Introduction
Ceiling mount addressable speaker visible (S/V) notification appliances
Use the Simplex fire alarm control unit (FACU) IDNAC signaling line circuit (SLC) to individually power, address, and control ceiling mount addressable S/V notification appliances. A separate compatible Simplex FACU audio NAC supplies audio. Electronic monitoring of wiring supervision means you can T-tap audio and IDNAC wiring for Class B wiring, reducing wiring costs and wiring distances.
Install ceiling mount addressable S/V notification appliances on a standard 4 in. (101.6 mm) square 2 1/8 in. (53.97 mm) deep electrical box, provided by others, for flush installations. Install on a surface or weatherproof backbox, see Table 8 for surface or weatherproof (WP) installations.
Appliances are available in 400 Hz to 4000 Hz and 200 Hz to 10000 Hz high fidelity models. Select the appliance and cover it separately to simplify the ordering and installation process. Model numbers ending in –BA are assembled in the USA. For more information, refer to datasheet S49SWC-0001.
