Weatherproof Ceiling-Mount Horn-Strobe 49AV

Wall Mount Weatherproof Notification Appliances

Model Series 49AV (TrueAlert ES) are addressable horn/strobe appliances designed for wall mounting with weatherproof construction, suitable for harsh environments with extended temperature and humidity ranges. These appliances operate on the IDNAC SLC two-wire loop, receiving power, supervision, light, sound, and control signals directly from the Simplex fire alarm control panel.

Key Features

• Integrated horn and strobe: Provides both audible and visible notification in a single device.

• Energy-efficient and easy installation: Stable IDNAC SLC power supports longer wiring distances and smaller gauge conductors.

• Safe & intelligent maintenance: Built-in Self-Test and Magnet Test functions allow quick verification without physical access, with results reported to the control panel.

• International compliance: Meets ADA, UL, ULC, and FM standards for emergency signaling, including accessibility for the hearing impaired — suitable for offices, hospitals, schools, and commercial facilities.

• Designed for harsh environments: Weatherproof enclosure ensures reliable operation in outdoor, high humidity, or high-temperature applications.

Feature Highlights

• Individually addressable with independent device control.

• Xenon strobe (multi-candela): 1 Hz synchronized flash; candela output programmable from the control panel or selectable on device — 110, 135, or 185 cd (AVH models).

• Horn operation:

  • Output patterns: Temporal Code 3, Code 4, March Time (20/60/120 bpm), Continuous

  • High/Low output (~5 dBA difference)

• IDNAC SLC power at 29 VDC: Reduced current consumption, extended wiring distance (up to 3× longer than conventional NAC), supports more devices per loop, allows smaller-gauge wiring.

• Self-Test: On-board sensors verify horn and strobe operation, report results to control panel.

• Magnet Test: Local testing with a magnet; LED blinks to indicate device address, horn and strobe briefly activate for functional confirmation.

• Device Reports: Control panel displays point ID, custom label, type, and candela setting.

• Rugged construction: Flame-retardant, impact-resistant thermoplastic housing in red or white; interchangeable covers (FIRE, ALERT, bilingual, etc.).

• Flexible wiring: Supports T-tap wiring for Class B circuits (saves wiring and conduit); Class A requires in/out wiring.

Technical Specifications

• Strobe: Multi-candela xenon flash, 1 Hz synchronized rate. Candela selectable from control panel or device: 110 / 135 / 185 cd (AVH models).

• Power supply: 29 VDC regulated via IDNAC SLC (reduced current, longer distances).

• Diagnostics & supervision:

  • Self-Test: Verifies horn and strobe with automatic reporting.

  • Magnet Test: Quick local test with LED address indication and audible/visible response.

  • Device Reports: Control panel logs point ID, label, type, candela setting.

• Housing: High-impact, flame-retardant thermoplastic, red or white; field-changeable covers with various printed legends (FIRE, ALERT, bilingual).

• Wiring: In/out terminals, 18 AWG to 12 AWG; supports T-tap (Class B).
