Designed for easy setup and simple installation, QuickStart lives up to its name in every respect. QS1 's exclusive QuickStart auto-learn function, and the option of configuring the panel using convenientfront panel programming or from a PC, makes short work of system setup. Devices come on- line in no time as well, thanks to QS1's built-in barcode scanner unma-mv t port. A simple pass of the optional scanner is all it takes to store device information in the QuickStart database. The scanner can also be used for quick and easy text entry when assembling custom messages. OS1 's setup routine is deceptively simple, considering this system's robustfeatures. Supporting up to 250 intelligent detectors and modules, QS1 takes full advantage ofMirtone'sexclusive Signature Series technology, which provides electronic address- ing, automatic device mapping, environmental compensation, and true multisensor detection. QuickStart's innovative design makes it easy to add a dialer or extra auxiliary relays. Quick-Lok option cards snap onto OS l's easily-accessible DIN mounting rails. QS1 also supports as many as eight remote annunciators and up to 30 programmable front panel switches with dual LEDs for system control and display. QS1 is as simple to operate as it is to set up. Its easy-to-read four line backlit LCD display provides details for system events, while bright system status LEDs and large tactile control buttons present the user with a clean, crystal clear interface. Four password levels limit control and information retrieval to authorized personnel. A priority access keyswitch gives Level 2 access without a password to management and emergency personnel. Application Thanks to its flexibility and simple setup and operation, QS1 is ideal for new installations in schools, apartment buildings, hospi tals, office buildings, and retail facilities. The benefits brought by QS1 to retrofit applications underscores the true potential of this powerful system. As an intelligent panel, QS1 supports Signature Series devices, which can use existing wiring in most retrofit applications. This makes upgrading from a conventional system to analog control a simple operation with minimal disruption to normal operations at the site.

A REND, Senior Deputy Program Manager Listing Expires June 30, 2007 GE Security S Overview The Signature Series Model GSA-PS Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector gathers analog information from its smoke sensing ele- ment and converts it into digital signals. The detector's on-board microprocessor measures and analyzes these signals. It compares the information to historical readings and time patterns to make an alarm decision. Digital filters remove signal patterns that are not typical of fires. Unwanted alarms are virtually eliminated. The microprocessor in each detector provides four additional benefits - Self-diagnostics and History Log, Automatic Device Mapping, Stand-alone Operation and Fast, Stable Communication. Self-diagnostics and History Log - Each Signature Series detec- tor constantly runs self-checks to provide important maintenance information. The results of the self-check are automatically updated and permanently stared in the detector's non-volatile memory Automatic Device Mapping - The loop controller learns where each device's serial number address is installed relative to other devices on the circuit. The mapping feature provides supervision of each device's installed location to prevent a detector from being rein- stalled (after cleaning etc.) in a different location from where it was originally. S Stand-alone Operation - A decentralized alarm decision by the detector is guaranteed. On-board intelligence permits the detector to operate in stand-alone mode. If loop controller CPU communica- tions fail for more than four seconds, all devices on that circuit go into stand-alone mode. The circuit acts like a conventional alarm receiving circuit. Fire Al arm Products Intelligent Initiating Devices Fast Stable Communication - On-board intelligence means less information needs to be sent between the detector and the loop controller. Other than regular supervisory palling response, the detector only needs to communicate with the loop controller when it has something new to report. Standard Features Integral microprocessor Non-volatile memory Automatic mapping device Electronic addressing Environmental compensation Intelligent detector Wide 0.67% to 3.77%/ft. sensitivity range Twenty pre-alarm sensitivity values, set in 5% increments Identification of dirty or defective detectors Automatic day/night sensitivity adjustment Twin RED/GREEN status LEDs Standard, relay, fault isolator, and audible mounting bases Designed and manufactured to ISO 9001 standards Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector GSA-PS Data Sheet M85001-0269 Issue 6 Not to be used for installation purposes. Page 1 of 4 Installation Accessories S Testing & Maintenance Each detector automatically identifies when it is dirty or defective and causes a "dirty detector" message. The detector's sensitiv- ity measurement can also be transmitted to the loop controller. A sensitivity report can be printed to satisfy NFPA sensitivity measu ments which must be conducted at the end of the first year and evertj two ueors thereafter. All detector mounting bases have wiring terminals that are acces- sible from the "room-side" after mounting the base to the electrical box. The bases mount to North American 1-gong boxes and to 31h inch or 4 inch octagon boxes, 11h inches (38 mm) deep. They also mount to European BESA and 1-gang boxes with 60.3 mm fix- ing centers. The GSA-S84, GSA-RB4, and GSA-184 mount to North American 4 inch sq. electrical boxes in addition to the above boxes. They include the SlGA-TS4 Trim Skirt which is used to cover the "mounting ears" on the base. The GSA-AB4G mounts to a 4" sqare box only. GSA-ABBG GSA-SB GSA-18 GSA-RB GSA-LED Audible Base Standard Bose Isolator Base Relay Base Remote LEO Standard Base GSA-SB, GSA-SB4 - This is the basic mounting base for GE Security Signature Series detectors. The GSA-LED Remote LED is supported by the Standard Base. Relay Base GSA-RB, GSA-RB4 - This base includes a relay. Nor- mally open or closed operation is selected during installation. The dry contact is rated for 1 amp (pilot duty) @ 30 Vdc. The relay's position is supervised to avoid accidentally jarring it out of position. The relay base does not support the GSA-LED Remote LED. Audible Bose GSA-AB4G - This base is designed for use where localized or group alarm signaling is required. When the detector senses an alarm condition, the audible base emits a local alarm signal. The optional GSA-CRR Polarity Reversal Relay can be used for sounding to other audible bases on the some 24 Vdc circuit. re- Relay and Audible Bases operate as follows: - at system power-up or reset, the relay is de-energized - when a detector is installed in the base with the power on, the relay energizes for four seconds, then de-energizes - when a detector is removed from a base with the power on, the relay is de-energized - when the detector enters the alarm state, the relay is energized. Isolator Base GSA-18. GSA-164 - This base includes a built-in line fault isolator for use on Class A circuits. A detector must be installed for it to operate. The isolator base does not support the GSA-LED Remote LED. The isolator operates as follows: - a short on the line causes all isolators to open within 23 msec - at 10 msec intervals, beginning on one side of the Class A circuit nearest the loop controller, the isolators close to provide the next isolator down the line with power - when the isolator next to the short closes, reopens within 10 msec. The process repeats beginning on the other side of the loop con- troller. Remote LED GSA-LED - The remote LED connects to the GSA-SB or GSA-SB4 Standard Base only. It features a North American size 1-gang plastic faceplate with a white finish and red alarm LED. SIGA-TS4 Trim Skirt - Supplied with 4 inch bases, it con also be ordered separately to use with the other bases to help hide surface imperfections not covered by the smaller bases.

The booster may also be used to power auxiliary, access control and security devices, in addition to fire devices. Fault conditions detected by the MIRBPS will open the main panel's NAC. This initiates a trouble condition and eliminates the need to wire a separate trouble contact back to the control panel. During alarm condition, detected faults are overridden and the main pan- el's default configuration is continuous 24 Vdc on all NACs typically used to drive visual devices. On board trouble contact is supplied for applications requiring trouble contact monitoring. The booster power supply provides the capability to maximize available power by being able to supply power for multiple services including Access Control, Security and Fire. For security applica- tions, space is provided to mount a tamper switch in the cabinet. When used for Fire Alarm notification with Genesis Notification ap- pliances, the booster provides the ability to synchronize strobes as well as horn signals. The boaster flexibility allows synchronization with upstream devices, or, the booster may be used to synchronize downstream devices, as well as other boosters and their connected devices. Up to 10 boosters deep may be configured while maintain- ing strobe synchronization. MIRBPS notification appliance circuits easily configure for either of two signaling rates: 3-3-3 temporal or continuous. California rate is also available on certain models. This makes the MIRBPS ideal for ap- plications requiring signaling rates not available from the main panel. It also allows independent setup of a notification appliance circuit without interfering with the main panel and its initiating circuits. resident NAC; one for battery supervision; one for ground fault; and, one for ac power. The trouble contact has a sixteen second delay when an ac power failure or brownout condition is detected. This reduces the reporting of troubles during short duration ac brownouts NAC configuration options include: ac power foil delay 116 seconds or 6 hours); sensing input to NAC output correlations: and, auxiliary outputs. All NACs are configurable as auxiliary outputs. Auxiliary outputs can be always on, or off after 30 seconds without ac power. As auxiliary output, the booster may power access control and security devices. Should an overcurrent occur, the booster auto- matically opens the circuit. The booster automatically restores the circuit when the overcurrent is removed. Jumpers configure the MIRBPS for Class A or Class B wiring.

Warnings & Cautions This module will not operate without electrical power. As fires fre- quently cause power interruption, we suggest you discuss further safeguards with your local fire protection specialist. *Testing & Maintenance The module's automatic self-diagnosis identifies when it is defective and causes a trouble message. The user-friendly maintenance pro- gram shows the current state of each module and other pertinent messages. Single modules may be turned off (de-activated) tempo- rarily. from the control panel. Scheduled maintenance (Regular or Selected) for proper system operation should be planned to meet the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction IAHJI. Refer to current NFPA 72 and ULC CAN/ULC 536 standards. Availability of maintenance features is dependent on the fire alarm system used. Installation The GSA-MM1 and GSA-WTM modules mount to North American 2-1/2 inch (64 mm) deep one-gang boxes and 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) deep 4 inch square boxes with one-gang covers and SIGA-MP mounting plates. The terminals are suited for #12 to #18 AWG (2.5 mm' to 0.75 mm2) wire size. GE Security recommends that this module be installed according to latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes. Electronic Addressing - The loop controller electronically addresses each module, saving valuable time during system commissioning. Setting complicated switches or dials is not required. Each module has its own unique serial number stored in its on-board memory. The loop controller identifies each device an the loop and assigns a "soft" address to each serial number.

The actual function of these modules is determined by the 'personality code' selected by the installer. This code is downloaded to the module from the Signature loop controller during system configuration. The input modules gather analog information from the initiating devices connected to them and convert it into digital signals. The module's on-board microprocessor analyzes the signal and decides whether or not to input an alarm. The GSA-CT1 and GSA-CT2 mount to standard North American 1-gang electrical boxes, making them ideal for locations where only one module is required. Separate I/O and data loop connections are made to each module. The GSA-MCT2 is port of the UlO family of plug-in Signature Series modules. It functions identically to the GSA-CT2, but takes advan- tage of the modular flexibility and easy installation that character- izes all UlO modules. Two- and six-module UIO motherboards are available. All wiring connections are made to terminal blacks on the motherboard. UIO assemblies may be mounted in GE Security enclosures. Standard Features Multiple applications Including Alarm, Alarm with delayed latching (retard) for water- flow applications, Supervisory, and Monitor. The installer selects one of four "personality codes" to be downloaded to the module through the loop controller. Plug-in (UIO) or standard 1-gang mount UlO versions allow quick installation where multiple modules are required. The 1-gang mount version is ideal for remote locations that require a single module. Automatic device mapping Signature modules transmit information to the loop controller regarding their circuit locations with respect to other Signature devices on the wire loop. Electronic addressing Programmable addresses are downloaded from the loop control- ler, a PC, or the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool. There are no switches or dials to set. Non-volatile memory Permanently stores serial number, type of device, and job number. Stand-alone operation The module makes decisions and inputs an alarm from initiating devices connected to it even if the loop controller's polling interro- gation stops. (Function availability dependent upon control panel.) Ground fault detection by address Detects ground faults right down to the device level.

Page 1 of 4 Signature Series Overview The Signature Series intelligent analog-addressable system from GE Security is an entire family of multi-sensor detectors and mount- ing bases, multiple-function input and output modules, network and non-network control panels, and user-friendly maintenance and service tools. Analog information from equipment connected to Signature devices is gathered and converted into digital signals. An onboard microprocessor in each Signature device measures and analyzes the signal and decides whether or not to input on alarm. The microprocessor in each Signature device provides four addi- tional benefits - Self-diagnostics and History Log, Automatic Device Mapping, Stand-alone Operation and Fast, Stable Communication. Self-diagnostics and History Log - Each Signature Series device constantly runs self-checks to provide important maintenance information. The results of the self-check are automatically updated and permanently stored in its non-volatile memory. This informa- tion is accessible for review any time at the control panel, PC, or using the SlGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool. Automatic Device Mapping -The Signature Data Controller (SDC) learns where each device's serial number address is installed rela- tive to other devices on the circuit. The SDC keeps a map of all Sig- nature Series devices connected to it. The Signature Series Data Entry Program also uses the mapping feature. With interactive menus and graphic support, the wired circuits between each device can be examined. Layout or "as-built" drawing information showing branch wiring (T-tapsl, device types and their address are stored on disk for printing hard copy.

Page 4 of 4 GE Fire Alarm Products Security Intelligent Input/Output Is S Overview The Control Relay Module and the Polarity Reversal Relay Module are part of the Signature Series system. They are intelligent analog addressable devices available in either plug-in (UIO) versions, or standard 1-gang mount versions. The GSA-CR/MCR Control Relay Module provides a Form "C" dry relay contact to control external appliances such as door closers, fans, dampers etc. This device does not provide supervision of the state of the relay contact. Instead, the on-board microprocessor ensures that the relay is in the proper ON/OFF state. Upon com- mand from the loop controller, the GSA-CR/MCR relay activates the normally open or normally-closed contact. The GSA-CRR/MCRR Polarity Reversal Relay Module provides a Form "C" dry relay contact to power and activate a series of GSA- AB4G Audible Sounder Bases. Upon command from the Signature loop controller, the GSA-CRR reverses the polarity of its 24 Vdc output, thus activating all Sounder Bases on the data loop. Standard-mount versions (GSA-CR and GSA-CRR) are installed to standard North American 1-gong electrical boxes, making them ideal for locations where only one module is required. Separate I/O and data loop connections are made to each module. Plug-in UIO versions (GSA-MCR and GSA-MCRR) are part of the UIO family of plug-in Signature Series modules. They function identically to the standard mount versions, but take advantage of the modular flexibility and easy installation that characterizes all UIO modules. Two- and six-module UIO motherboards are available. All wiring connections are made to terminal blocks on the motherboard. UIO assemblies may be mounted in GE Security enclosures. Standard Features Provides one no/nc contact (GSA-CR/MCR) Form "C" dry relay contact can be used to control external appli- ances such as door closers, fans, dampers etc. Allows group operation of sounder bases The GSA-CRR/MCRR reverses the polarity of its 24 Vdc output, thus activating all Sounder Bases on the data loop. Plug-in (UIOI or standard 1-gang mount UIO versions allow quick installation where multiple modules are required. The 1-gang mount version is ideal for remote locations that require a single module. Automatic device mapping Signature modules transmit information to the loop controller regarding their circuit locations with respect to other Signature devices on the wire loop. Electronic addressing Programmable addresses are downloaded from the loop con- troller, a PC, or the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool; there are no switches or dials to set. Intelligent device with microprocessor All decisions are made at the module to allow lower communica- tion speed with substantially improved control panel response time and less sensitivity to line noise and loop wiring properties; twisted or shielded wire is not required. Ground fault detection by address Detects ground faults right down to the device level.

Page 1 of 6 I S securt The Genesis line of signals are among the smcUest, most compact audible-visible emergency signaling devices in the world. About the size of a deck of playing cards, these devices are designed to blend with any decor. Thanks to patented breakthrough technology. GE Security Genesis strobes do not require bulky specular reflectors and lenses. Instead, an exclusive cavity design conditions light to produce a highly controlled distribution pattern. Significant development efforts em- ploying this new technology have given rise to a new benchmark in strobe performance - FuliLight technology. FullLight strobe technology produces a smooth light distribution pattern without the spikes and voids characteristic of specular reflectors. This ensures the entire coverage area receives consistent illumination from the strobe flash. As a result, Genesis strobes with FuliLght technology go well beyond the minimum UL-required "T" pattern, significantly exceeding UL-1971 and ULC-S526 light distri- bution requirements. Genesis strobes and horn-strobes offer 15 to 110 candela output, which is selectable with a conveniently-located switch on the side of the device. Models are also available that offer fixed 15/75 cd output, the candela output setting remains clearly visible even after firol installation, act it stays iocked in place to prevent uriou- thorzed tampering. Genesis signals feature textured housings in architecturally neutral white or traditional fire red. An ingenious iconographic symbol indicates the purpose of the device. This universal symbol is code-compliant and is eo-Silu recognized by all building occupants regardless of what language mey speak. Models with FIRE" markings are also available. otificatonA,c)oiai'ces tcrcim Fattjtes Unique low-profile design The most compact UL-1971/ULC-5526 listed strobe available - Ultra-slim - protrudes less than one inch from the wall - Attractive appearance - No visible mountng screws Four ficid-coofigurobie options in one device - Select 1S,30, 75, or 110 cd strobe output Select high defaulti or low dB horn output - Select temporal default) or steady horn output -.

This results in a steady output that can be turned on and off coded) as the system applies and removes power to the signal cir- cuit. A Genesis Signal Master is required when horn-strobe models are configured for coded systems. Non-temporal, horn-only models sound a steady tone. Genesis strobes and horn-strobes are shipped from the fac- tory ready for use as UL 1971 compliant signals for public made operation. These signals may be configured for temporal flash by cutting a jumper on the circuit board. This battery-saving feature is intended for private mode signaling only. Genesis strobes and horn-strobes may be set for 15. 30, 75, or 110 candela output The output setting is changed by simply opening the device and sliding the switch to the desired setting. The device does not have to be removed to change the output setting. The setting remains visible through a small window on the side of the device after the cover is closed. Horns and horn-strobes are factory set for high d8 output. Low d8 output may be selected by cutting ajumper on the circuit board. This reduces the output by about 5 dB.

Protruding no more than 1.6 (41 mm) from the ceiling, Genesis strobes blend with any decor. Thanks to patented breakthrough technology, Genesis strobes do not require bulky specular reflectors and lenses. Instead, an exclusive cavity design conditions light to produce a highly controlled distribution pattern. Significant development efforts employing this new technology have given rise to a new bench- mark in strobe performance - FullLight technology. New 1/ mu1t 0d —high - modoll - \ '-1 - Oneormore ii". ( E EA Pending FuilLight strobe technology produces a smooth light distribution pattern without the spikes and voids characteristic of specular reflectors. This ensures the entire coverage area receives consis- tent illumination from the strobe flash. As a result, Genesis strobes with FuliLight technology go well beyond the minimum UL- required 'cross pattern, significantly exceeding UL- 1971 and ULC-5526 light distribution requirements. Although all Genesis strobes are self-synchronizing, when installed with an optional synchronization module, strobe flashes from devices on the same circuit synchronize to within 10 milliseconds of each otherindefinitely. This exceeds the two-hour minimum specified in the UL standards. Only one synchronization module is required per circuit. Depending on the model, Genesis ceiling strobes feature 15 to 95, or 95 to 177 candela output (see ordering information), which is selectable with a conveniently-located switch. The candela output setting remains clearly visible even afterfinal installation, yet it is locked in place to prevent unauthorized movement after installa- tion. Genesis strobes feature textured housings in architecturally neutral white. An ingenious iconographic symbol indicates the purpose of the device. This universal symbol is code-compliant and is easily recognized by all building occupants regardless of what language they speak. Models with "FIRE" markings are also available. All Genesis strobes are fully compatible with Enhanced Integrity signals. The two product lines may be mixed on the same circuit.

Prevailing codes require strobes to be used where ambient noise conditions exceed 105 dBA (87dBA in Canada), where occupants use hearing protection, and in areas of public accommodation as defined in theAmericans with Disabili- ties Act. Recommended Strobes: The following guidelines are based on ANSI/N FPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code (2002). When applied and installed in accordance with that code, Mirtone strobes meet or exceed the illumination produced by the ADA-specified 75 candela (cd) strobe at 50feet. (ADA suggests using 75 cd strobes throughout an area, with spacing that never exceeds 50 ft. from the strobe to any point in the protected space.) Non-Sleeping Areas and Corridors: Mirtone strobes rated at less than 110 cd per UL 1971 are intended for use in non-sleeping areas only. Install with the bottom of the device at least 80 inches (2.0 m) and no more than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the finished floor. Nopoint in any space (including corridors) required to have strobes should be more than 50 feet (15.2 m) from the signal (in the horizontal plane).

If not, the maximum room size is determined by doubling the distance from the strobe to the farthest wall. Light output (effective cd) Percent of UL rating versus angle - Percentage of rated output 90 '5- Me - Horizontal and vertical outputs reflect the same pattern. Sleeping areas: In sleeping areas, ceiling mounted strobes (and wall mounted strobes installed less than 24 inches from the ceiling) must be rated at minimum of 177 cd. Wall mounted strobes installed more than 24 inches (610 mm) from the ceiling must be rated at a minimum of 110 cd. In all cases, the distance from the strobe to the pillow must not exceed 16(4.8 m). For detailed spacing requirements, consult The Handbookof Visible Notification Appliances for Fire Alarm Applications published by EST Press, or contact your local Mirtone representa- tive. Application Notes - USA Strobes must be used to supplement audible signals wherever the average ambient sound level exceeds 105 dBA. Combination audible/visual signals must be installed in accordance with NFPA guidelines established for strobes. ADA requires visible signals in the following areas: rest rooms, meeting rooms, and other common use areas. sleeping rooms intended for use by persons with hearing impairment (in accordance with Title 1 of ADA). work areas used by a person with a hearing impairment (per Title 1 of ADA). Application Notes - Canada (Based in part on 1995 Canada National Building Code) The fire alarm audible signal shall be supplemented by fire alarm strobes in any floor area where the ambient noise Ievelexceeds 87 dBA, or where the occupants of the floor area use ear protective devices, are located within an audiometric booth, or are located within sound insulating enclosures. This also applies to assembly occupancies in which music and other sounds associated with performances could exceed 100 dBA Strobes shall be installed in a building so that the flash from one device is visible throughout the floor area or portion thereof in which they are installed. For maximum safety, Mirtone recom- mends that strobes be installed as perthe guidelines shown here under Strobe Spacing. Dimensions 6.8'dis.

Use the VfwrRMS current ratings for unfiltered power supply calculations. Fuses, circuit breakers and other overcurrent protection devices are typically rated for current in RMS values. Most ofthese devices operate based upon the heating affect ofthecurrentfl owing through the device. The RMS current (not the mean current) determines the heating affect and therefore, the trip and hold threshold for those devices. Our industry has used 'mean'currents over the years.

Protruding no more than 1.6 (41 mm) from the ceiling, Genesis horn-strobes blend with any decor. Thanks to patented breakthrough technology, Mirtone Genesis strobes do not require bulky specular reflectors and lenses. Instead, an exclusive cavity design conditions light to produce a highly controlled distribution pattern. Significant development efforts employing this new technology have given rise to a new benchmark in strobe performance - FullLight technology. N.' __- '5 1gb rnociell 371 Onorre pat:s;ing. tJ ( E NEA pending FullLight strobe technology produces a smooth light distribution pattern without the spikes and voids characteristic of specula reflectors. This ensures the entire coverage area receives consis- tent illumination from the strobe flash. As a result, Genesis strobes with FuliLight technology go well beyond the minimum UL- required cross' pattern, significantly exceeding UL-1 971 and ULC- S526 light distribution requirements. Although all Genesis strobes are self-synchronizing, when installed with an optional synchronization module, strobe flashes from devices on the same circuit synchronize to within 10 milliseconds of each otherindefinite/y. This exceeds the two-hour minimum specified in the UL standards. Only one synchronization module is required per circuit. Depending on the model, Genesis horn-strobes feature 15 to 95, or 95 to 177 candela output (see ordering information), which is selectable with a conveniently-located switch on the front of the device. The candela output setting is clearly visible even after final installation, yet it remains locked in place to prevent unauthorized movement after installation. Genesis horn output reaches as high as 99 dB (peak) and features a unique multiple frequencytone that results in excellentwall penetration and an unmistakable warning of danger. All models may be configured for either coded or non-coded signal circuits. They can also be set for low dB output with a jumper cut that reduces horn output by about 5dB. Genesis h orn-strobes feature textured housings in architecturally neutral white. An ingenious iconographic symbol indicates the purpose of the device. This universal symbol is code-compliant and is easily recognized by all building occupants regardless of what language they speak. Models with "FIRE" markings are also available.

Prevailing codes require strobes to be used where ambient noise conditions exceed 105 dBA (87dBA in Canada), where occupants use hearing protection, and in areas of public accommodation as defined in theAmericans with Disabilities Act (see application notes - USA). Combination horn-strobe signals must be installed in accordance with guidelines established for strobe devices. Strobes The following guidelines are based on ANSI/NFPA 72Nationa/ Fire Alarm Code (2002). When applied and installed in accordance with that code, Mirtone strobes meet or exceed the illumination pro- duced by the ADA-specified 75 candela (cd) strobe at 50 feet. (ADA suggests using 75 cd strobes throughout an area, with spacing that never exceeds 50 ft. from the strobe to any point in the protected space.) Non-Sleeping Areas and Corridors: Mirtone strobes rated at less than 110 cd per UL 1971 are intended for use in non-sleeping areas only. Install with the bottom of the device at least 80 inches (2.0 m) and no more than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the finished floor. Nopoint in any space (including corridors) required to have strobes should be more than 50feet (15.2 m) from the signal (in the horizontal plane).

(15.2 x 15.2 m( 150 cd Note: Recommendations in the table above assume the strobe is placed in the center of the room. If not, the maximum room size is determined by doubling the distance from the strobe to the farthest wall. Sleeping areas: In sleeping areas, ceiling mounted strobes (and wall mounted strobes installed less than 24 inches from the ceiling) must be rated at a minimum of 177 cd. Wall mounted strobes installed more than 24 inches (610 mm) from the ceiling must be rated at a minimum of 110 cd. In all cases, the distance from the strobe to the pillow must not exceed 16(4.8 m). For detailed spacing requirements, consult The Handbook of Visible Notification Appliances for Fire Alarm Applications published by EST Press, or contact your local Mirtone representative. Horns The suggested sound pressure level for each signaling zone used with alert or alarm signals is at least 15 dB above the average ambient sound level, or 5 d above the maximum sound level having a duration of at least 60 seconds, whichever is greater, measured 5 feet (1.5 m) above the floor. The average ambient sound level is, A- weighted sound pressure measured over a 24-hour period. Doubling the distance from the signal to the ear will theoretically result in a 6 d1 reduction of the received sound pressure level. The actual effect depends on the acoustic properties of materials in the space. A 3 dBA difference represents a barely noticeable change in volume. Application Notes - USA Audible signals in the public mode should never have a sound level less than 75 dBA at 10'(3 m) per NFPA 72. Signals cannot exceed 120 dBA per ADA and NFPA 72 at the minimum hearing distance to audible appliance. Strobes must be used to supplement audible signals wherever the average ambient sound level exceeds 105 dBA. Combination audible/visual signals must be installed in accordance with NFPA guidelines established for strobes. ADA requires visible signals in the following areas: rest rooms, meeting rooms, and other common use areas. sleeping rooms intended for use by persons with hearing impairment (in accordance with Title 1 of ADA). work areas used by a person with a hearing impairment (per Title 1 of ADA). Application Notes - Canada (Based in part on 1995 Canada National Building Code) The fire alarm signal sound pressure level shall not exceed 110 dBA in any normally occupied area. The sound pressure level from an audible signal in a floor area used for occupancies other than residential occupancies shall not be less than 10 dBA above ambient levels, and never less than 65 dBA. In sleeping rooms the sound pressure level from an audible signal shall not be less than 75 dBA when any intervening doors between the device and the sleeping room are closed. Audible signal devices shall be installed not less than 1.8 m to the center of the device above the floor (per CAN/ULC S524). The fire alarm audible signal shall be supplemented by fire alarm strobes in any floor area where the ambient noise levelexceeds 87 dBA, or where the occupants of the floor area use ear protective devices, are located within an audiometric booth, or are located within sound insulating enclosures. This also applies to assembly occupancies in which music and other sounds associated with performances could exceed 100 dBA Strobes shall be installed in a building so that the flash from one device is visible throughout the floor area or portion thereof in which they are installed. For maximum safety, Mirtone recom- mends that strobes be installed as per the guidelines shown here under Strobe Spacing. WARNING: These devices will not operate without electrical power. As fires frequently These visible signal appliances' flash intensity may not be adequate to alert or awaken cause power interruptions, we suggest you discuss further safeguards with your local occupants in the protected area. Research indicates that the intensity of strobe fire protection specialist, needed to awaken 90% of sleeping persons is approximately 100 cd. Mirtone recommends that strobes in sleeping rooms be 110 cd minimum. M I A T 0 N E Page 2 of 4 Literature Sheet #M85001-0559 Issue 3 Not to be used for installation purposes.
