49VO-WWA SIMPLEX

49VO-WWA SIMPLEX, VO, WALL WHITE ALERT.

49VO-WWA Simplex, TrueAlert ES addressable strobes TrueAlert ES addressable strobes are individually addressed visible notification appliances that receive power, supervision, and control signals from the Simplex fire alarm control panel providing IDNAC Signaling Line Circuits (SLCs). (See IDNAC SLC Controller Compatibility Reference.) Strobe Application Reference Proper selection of visible notification is dependent on occupancy, location, local codes, and proper applications of the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72), ANSI A117.1; the appropriate model building code: BOCA, ICBO, or SBCCI; and the application guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

TrueAlert ES Operation Advantage
TrueAlert ES addressable appliances on IDNAC SLCs provide separately visible (and audible) notification using a single two-wire circuit that also confirms connection to the individual notification appliance’s electronic circuit. This operation increases circuit supervision integrity by providing supervision that extends beyond the appliance wiring connections.

Reduced current allows efficient IDNAC SLC operation. With IDNAC SLCs, a constant 29 VDC source voltage is maintained, even during battery standby, allowing strobes to operate at a higher voltage with lower current and ensuring a consistent current draw and voltage drop margin under both primary power and secondary battery standby. Efficiencies include wiring distances up to 2 to 3 times farther than with conventional notification, or support for more appliances per IDNAC SLC, or use of smaller gauge wiring, or combinations of these benefits, all providing installation and maintenance savings with high assurance that appliances that operate during normal system testing will operate during worst-case alarm conditions.

Reducing Installation and Testing Time. With separate controls on the same two-wire SLC, installation time and expense for both retrofit and new construction can be significantly reduced. When Class B wiring is used, wiring can be “T” tapped, allowing more savings in the distance, wire, conduit (size and utilization), and overall installation efficiency. The use of Self-Test and Magnet Test features improves installation efficiency. TrueAlert device reports conveniently identify information about each connected appliance.

Individually addressed and controlled multi-candela TrueAlert ES V/O (visible only) notification appliances provide:

• Multi-candela xenon strobe with synchronized 1 Hz flash rate and with intensity programmable from the control panel or jumper selected as 15, 30, 75, 110, 135, or 185 cd.
• Advanced addressable notification controlled by IDNAC SLCs providing regulated 29 VDC allowing strobes to operate with lower current even under battery backup.
• Wiring supervision to each appliance allowing “T-tapped” connections for Class B circuits to simplify wiring (Class A circuits require in/out wiring).
• Self-Test Mode allows an on-board sensor to detect the strobe output and then report its status to the control panel.
• TrueAlert Device Reports at the control panel detailing appliance point ID, custom label, type, and candela setting.
• Magnet Test diagnostics to assist checkout and testing of appliances and wiring and Electrical test point access without removing the cover.
• Compatibility with ADA requirements.
• Compatibility with legacy TrueAlert addressable systems for upgrade and replacement.
• Listed to UL Standard 1971 and ULC Standard S526.

LED Indicator and Magnet Test feature:

• Appliance LED can be selected to display each polling cycle to indicate appliance supervision
• When the controller is in diagnostic mode, the Magnet Test pulses the LED to indicate appliance address and can be set to also briefly flash the strobe
