Product Overview

Formed as the `SL’-series, Siemens is now offering horns, strobes, and horn-strobes with LED based strobes to its notification-appliances portfolio. With the `SL’-series, Siemens offers a full range of products with low and high candela settings that makes these sophisticated notification appliances ideal for new installs and retrofit applications.

Innovative light-emitting diode (LED) strobe technology provides an energy-efficient means for a significantly reduced current draw.The strobe portion of these appliances meets the 20 millisecond light-pulse-duration requirements of the 2016 edition of NFPA 72. This feature allows existing Xenon and the new LED devices to be used in the same field-of-view.

In a single device, the `SL’-series can provide alarm-signaling tones for dual
applications. All strobe models in the series feature multi-Candela settings (15 | 30 | 75 | 110cd) on a single appliance.

Additionally, there are two (2) modes of operation for the audible portion of these notification appliances:
                           • T3 (coded)
                           • Continuous

The `SL’-series of horns, strobes and horn-strobes devices are produced in a sleek,modern design. Its single-gang form factor provides high-quality energy efficiency in an aesthetically pleasing, low-profile design that is consistent to the look of the interior composition of the building application.

The `SL’-series is apt for indoor wall-mount applications. The Model `SLH’-series horn appliances work in either 12V or 24VDC, whereas the Series `SLSW’ and `SLHSW’ strobe and horn-strobe devices are specifically for 24V operation.

Specifications

In terms of composition and functionality, Models `SLHW’-series, `SLSW’-series, and `SLHSW’-series provide added value to the installer for the types of applications for operation:
    • Compact | sleek | low-profile design
    • Comprehensive feature list
    • Convenient mounting options
    • Easy-to-adjust selection-slider switch for Candela settings
           − No tools required for setting changes
           − Multi-level settings: 15cd | 30cd | 75cd | 110cd
    • High and Low audible outputs
    • Reduced current draw, via cutting-edge LED technology

The LED portions of the Siemens `SL’-series of strobes and horn-strobes meet the 20 millisecond light-pulse-duration requirements of the 2016 edition of NFPA 72. By meeting this latest requirement, existing Xenon as well as the new LED-technology devices can now be in the same field-of-view.

The horn, strobe and horn-strobes in this Siemens `SL’-series of notification appliances have received UL / ULC Listed status by attaining compatible testing standards with all of the Siemens fire-alarm control panels (FACPs) and accessories that have been determined to be aligned with existing Siemens strobe-based appliances.

This would include the following existing model-types: `CH’|`HS’|`MTH’ |`S-HQ’|`SA’|`SE’|`SEF’|`SET’ |`ST’ |`STH’ |`ZR’ and `ZH’ Series notification appliances. The regulatory listing also includes the capability for installing the
Siemens `SL’-series LED-based strobes in the same notification zone and field-of-view with any existing Siemens Notification Appliance Xenon-based strobes.

All types of these horns, strobes and horn-strobes are UL Listed (for indoor use under Standard 1971 and464), as well as ULC-S525|ULC-S526 Listed. The Siemens `SL’-series sounder-strobes also have ADA | RoHS and ICES approval.

GENERAL NOTES:
1. Strobes are designed to flash at 1-flash-per-second minimum over their “        Regulated Voltage Range.”
2. NFPA-72 specifies a flash rate of 1-to-2 flashes-per-second, and guidelines      for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
    specify a flash rate of 1-to-3 flashes-per-second.
3. All Candela ratings represent minimum effective Strobe intensity based on      UL 1971.
