Fire Alarm Hooter | Multi Candela Horn | ZH-MC-R | Siemens

Product Overview

•  Strobes can be synchronized using the Siemens DSC sync modules, the     Siemens 50-point, 252-point and 504-point addressable fire alarm control panels (FACPs), as well as with:
    • FireFinder® XLS and MXL® FACPs
    • PAD-3 or PAD-4TM NAC Extenders with built-in sync protocol

• Selectable Continuous Horn or Temporal (Code-3) Tones with 90 or 95 dBA
   selectable setting (Series ‘ZH’)

• Ceiling-mount models feature field-selectable Candela settings of  15/30         /75/95cd and 115/177cd

• Wall-mount models feature field-selectable Candela settings of          15/30/75/110cd and 135/185cd

• Base plate is protected by a disposable cover, and the appliances canquickly snap onto the base after the walls are painted

• Strobes produce one (1) flash per second

• ``Special Applications” listed with Siemens panels

• EZ Mount Universal Mounting Plate (Model ZB Series)  uses single plate
   for ceiling and wall mount installations

• EZ Mount design  with separate base plate  provides ability to pre-wire the base and test the circuit wiring before the walls are covered

• UL Listed & ULC Listed, FM (#3028994) Approved;
  CSFM Approved (Series ‘ZH’: #7125-0067:0248 –> Fire Alarm Devices For    The Hearing Impaired)

Specifications

• Audible/Visual notification appliances are listed for indoor use only

• Appliances are listed under UL Standard 1971 (Standard for Safety       Signaling Devices for Hearing Impaired) and UL Standard 464 (Fire Protective Signaling)

• Appliances use a universal back plate, which allows mounting to a single-gang,double-gang, 4-inch-square (10.2 cm.), 4”-octal (10.2 cm.), or a 3-1/2” (8.9 cm.) octal backbox

• Two-wire configurations allows capability for directly connecting appliances to the mounting back plate

• Continuity check will occur for entire NAC circuit prior to attaching any audible / visual-notification appliances

• A cover fits over the mounting plate for protection to dust and other outside elements
    •  Cover is easily removed when the appliance is installed over the back plate

• Removal of an appliance will result in a Trouble condition by the Siemens Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)

Strobes and Audible Strobe Combinations

• Strobe appliances produce a minimum flash rate of 60 flashes per minute
(one [1] flash per second) over the Regulated Input Voltage Range, and
incorporate a Xenon flashtube enclosed in a rugged Lexan® lens

• Strobes are available with two (2) or four (4) field-selectable settings
in one (1) unit, and are rated – per UL 1971 – for up to:
   • 15/30/75/110cd for wall mounted
   • 135/185cd for wall mounted
   • 15/30/75/95cd for ceiling mounted
   • 115/177cd for ceiling mounted

•  Strobes operate over an extended temperature range of 32°F to 120°F
(0°C to 49°C), and be listed for maximum humidity of 95% RH

• Strobe inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse-polarity
supervision of circuit wiring by a Siemens FACP

Audible and Audible / Strobe Combinations
•  Horns and horn / strobes are listed for Indoor use under UL Standard 464
•  Horns are able to produce continuous synchronized output or a
   Temporal Code-3 synchronized output
•  Horns have at least two (2) sound-level settings of 90 and 95 dBA

Synchronization Modules
•  The strobe portion, when synchronization is required, is compatible with the Siemens DSC sync modules; the Siemens 50-point, 252-point and 504-point addressable FACPs, as well as with:
  •  FireFinder® XLS and MXL® FACPs
  • PAD-3 or PAD-4TM NAC Extenders with built-in sync protocol

• The strobes will not drift out of synchronization at any time during operation

• Audibles and strobes are able to synchronize on a two-wire circuit with the capability to silence the audible, if required

• Strobes revert to a non-synchronized flash-rate, if the sync module or
power supply should fail to operate (i.e. – contacts remain closed)

• All notification appliances are listed for Special Applications:

Note: NFPA-72 specifies a flash rate of 1-to-2 flashes per second,
and ADA Guidelines specify a flash rate of 1-to-3 flashes per second

• All candela ratings represent minimum-effective Strobe intensity, based on    UL Standard 1971
• Series ZH Strobe products are listed under UL Standards 1971 and 464 for     indoor use with a temperature range of 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C) and maximum humidity of 93% (± 2%)

• Series ZH horns are listed under UL Standard 464 for audible signal appliances (Indoor use only)
