SOUNDER (SIMPLEX)
TrueAlert
non-addressable horn model 4901-9820 is an audible notification appliance with
a loud and penetrating, harmonically rich sound that can be controlled either
directly from a standard NAC (freerun operation mode) or by the SmartSync
two-wire operation mode. Standard (free-run) operation mode. In the free-run
mode, a positive voltage from the controlling NAC will activate the horn
according to the desired output of continuous or coded output per the
controlling NAC’s capabilities.
SmartSync
mode. When selected for SmartSync mode and used with compatible Simplex control
(refer to list on page 2), this horn can be wired onto the same two-wire NAC
circuit as visible appliances but with separately controlled operation. Typical
applications are audible notification activated as “onuntil-silenced” and
visible notification appliances activated “on-untilreset.” In addition, visible
appliances (strobes) on the same circuit are activated with synchronized
flashes. SmartSync control two-wire advantage. Allowing these separate controls
to be carried on the same two-wire NAC circuit can significantly reduce
installation time and expense for both retrofit and new construction. Flexible
mounting. This horn can be semi-flush or surface mounted on a standard single
gang, double gang, or 4″ square (102 mm) electrical box. Optional accessories
are available to increase mounting and application flexibility.
