AMT Horns and Horn Strobes

The AMT multi toner horns and horn strobes provide the industry with a UL Standard 1971 and UL Standard 464 combination audible/visual device that simplifies installation and offers three (3) distinct prioritized audible signals from three isolated inputs. Priority (1) will override all other commands upon activation.

      

Distributed Architecture

All FC-250 modules operate independently. There is no central operating system, no central point of failure. Processing power is distributed throughout the campus, increasing system survivability, eliminating home-run wiring costs while decreasing downtime due to system maintenance.

Highly Survivable

Since NAC’s and SLC’s are grouped on the same module and events are processed locally, ALM modules will perform local operations even if network communication has been severed. Distributed modules also minimize campus-wide downtime by restricting maintenance to the local module.

The AMT Strobes are designed for ADA applications while meeting or exceeding the latest requirements of NFPA 72 (the National Fire Alarm Code), ANSI 117.1 (the American National Standard For Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities) and UL Standard 1971 (Standard for Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired).

  • AMT-12/24-R
  • AMT-12/24-W
  • AMT-24MCW-FR
  • AMT-24MCW-FW
Physical Material Red or white textured UV stabilized, colored impregnated engineered plastic. Exceeds 94V-0 UL flammability rating.
Weight HS Strobe: 0.66 lbs. (.03 kg)
Lens Sabic Lexan 943A
Dimensions HS Horn: 5.13” W x 5.13” H x 3.15”D; HS strobe: 5.13” W x 5.13” H x 5.24”D
Operating Temperature Indoor: 33.8°F to 120.2°F (0°C to 49°C) and maximum humidity of 93%
Wire Connections #12 through #18 AWG
Power & General
Operating voltage 16 – 33V (DC or FWR)
Strobe Output Rating UL 1971
Strobe Flash Rate Strobes are designed to flash at 1 flash per second
Synchronization Models Strobes can be synchronized with Wheelock’s DSM Sync Modules, Power Supplies or SAFEPATH products, using Wheelock patented sync protocol

When notification appliances are required for applications with more than one function, an appliance with multiple inputs and capable of being programmed shall be used. The notification appliance shall be capable of accepting three (3) individual DC signals and providing three (3) distinct audible signals. In the event the signals are simultaneous, the priority shall be as follows. Highest priority = PR1, Second priority = PR2 and the Third priority = PR3. With the addition of the Strobe, the appliance shall operate with an independent input DC voltage to the strobe terminals. When it is desired to operate the strobe with all of the audible signals, a set of jumpers shall be provided.

The notification appliance shall be a AMT audible/visual appliance or equivalent. Notification appliance shall be electronic and use solid state components. Electromechanical alternatives are not approved. Tone selection shall be by dip switch assembly. The audible and the strobe shall be able to operate from a single NAC circuit while producing any of these tones. The appliances shall provide two output sound levels: STANDARD and HIGH dBA. The HIGH anechoic dBA measurement at 10 feet at the alarm HORN SETTING shall be 98 dBA for AMT and 98 dBA for AMT Strobes, at nominal voltage. Operating voltages shall be either 12VDC (Audible only) or 24VDC using filtered power or unfiltered power supply (full-wave-rectified). All models shall have provisions for standard reverse polarity type supervision and IN/OUT field wiring using terminals that accept #12 to #18 AWG wiring. When strobe synchronization is required, the strobe appliance shall be compatible with Wheelock’s DSM Sync Modules, Wheelock Power Supplies or other manufacturers panels with built-in Wheelock Patented Protocol. Combination audible/visual appliances shall incorporate a Xenon flashtube enclosed in a rugged Lexan (R) lens or equivalent with solid state circuitry. Strobe shall meet UL 1971 and produce a flash rate of one (1) flash per second minimum over the Listed input voltage (16VDC-33VDC) range. The AMT-24MCW shall be specified when field selectable 15/30/75/110 candela ratings are required.

All UL Standard 1971 Listed strobe appliances shall be verified to meet FCC Part 15, Class B. Strobe activation shall be via independent input or from the same input circuit as the audible. The combination audible/visual appliances may be installed indoors and surface or flush mounted. They shall mount to standard electrical hardware requiring no additional trimplate or adapter. The aesthetic appearance shall not have any mounting holes or screw heads visible when the installation is completed. The appliance shall be finished in a textured red color.

The audible appliance may be installed indoor or outdoor with the proper backbox
