The SH-1224 Strobe/Horn Series provides a wide range of candela
light output options in a single device. The candela settings include a
12 or 24 volt DC operation for the 15, 35 and 60 (75 on axis) candela
settings and 24 volt DC operation for the 15, 35, 60, 75, 95 and 110
candela settings. The candela setting is displayed through the front
window and is selectable using a drum wheel.
The horn settings include Temporal, Non-Temporal, March Time
and a Chime sound. The horn also has Low, Mid and High volume
settings for each pattern and tone. The tones include 2400 Hz, Electro-
Mechanical, Broadband and Chime.
Installation
The voltage input can be either regulated DC or full wave rectified
(FWR) 12 volt or 24 volt operation with an operating range from 8 to
33 V DC. The strobes can be synchronized using a control panel with
the Potter (Amseco) sync protocol or a SMD10-3A sync module.
The SH-1224 utilizes a universal mounting plate that will mount on a
single gang, double gang, octagon and 4” square electrical boxes. The
back plate allows the installer to mount the plate and connect the wire
connections. The strobe attaches in a hinge fashion from the top and is
secured by a single mounting screw. The strobe completely covers the
mounting back plate, therefore it can be mounted before other trades
work is completed and not affect the final look.
SH-1224 SERIES
A jumper plug is provided to test for correct
wiring in the supervisory mode only. Do not
pass alarm current through the jumper.
Note:
Installation must comply in accordance with applicable standards.

High voltage may be present inside the light assembly even
though power is not connected. If access to teh coponent board
is required (removal or replacement), the capacitor must be
discarged by touching a wire to both ends of the flashtube.
DO NOT attempt to touch or move the assembly until the
capacitor has been discharged.
