Simplex 4906-9130 TrueAlert Ceiling Horn Strobe

The Simplex 4906-9130 TrueAlert Ceiling Horn Strobe provides dependable audible and visual notification for compatible fire alarm systems. It combines an electronic horn with a high-intensity strobe in one ceiling-mounted appliance. In addition, its white housing and red FIRE lettering provide a clean appearance for commercial and institutional installations.

Audible and Visual Fire Alarm Notification

The Simplex 4906-9130 belongs to the TrueAlert family of non-addressable notification appliances. It provides an audible warning and a flashing visual signal during fire alarm activation.

The electronic horn helps alert building occupants through sound. Meanwhile, the strobe provides a visible warning for areas requiring visual notification.

As a result, the combined design supports two notification methods from one ceiling location.

Four Selectable Candela Settings

The appliance provides four field-selectable strobe intensity settings:

• 15 candela
• 30 candela
• 75 candela
• 110 candela

Installers can select the appropriate output according to the approved fire alarm design. Therefore, the device supports different visual notification requirements without changing the entire appliance.

Moreover, the selectable design helps simplify inventory management for installation and maintenance projects.

SmartSync Notification Technology

This TrueAlert horn/strobe supports compatible SmartSync two-wire notification appliance circuits.

SmartSync technology coordinates audible and visual notification. It also supports synchronized strobe operation and compatible horn control.

The strobe flashes at approximately one flash per second during synchronized operation. Consequently, multiple compatible appliances can provide coordinated visual notification.

Ceiling-Mount Design

The appliance uses a ceiling-mounted configuration for indoor fire alarm applications.

Its white housing blends with many light-colored ceiling finishes. In addition, the red FIRE lettering clearly identifies the device as emergency notification equipment.

The combined horn/strobe design reduces the need for separate audible and visual appliances at the same location.

Electrical Operation

The Simplex 4906-9130 operates through a compatible notification appliance circuit.

The manufacturer lists the device for SmartSync two-wire operation. Therefore, installers must verify the control panel and synchronization equipment before installation.

Electrical current consumption varies according to the selected candela setting and horn operation.

Consequently, technicians should use the manufacturer’s current tables when calculating circuit loading.

TrueAlert System Compatibility

This ceiling horn/strobe can work with compatible Simplex fire alarm control equipment and SmartSync synchronization accessories.

For example, supported system configurations may use compatible notification appliance circuits or SmartSync control modules.

However, not every notification appliance circuit provides the same synchronization and horn-control functions.

Therefore, installers should verify the specific panel and system configuration before replacing an existing device.

Typical Fire Alarm Applications

This ceiling-mounted notification appliance supports commercial and institutional fire alarm installations.

Typical applications include offices, schools, hotels, healthcare facilities, retail properties, warehouses, and other buildings with compatible fire alarm systems.

Its selectable candela settings provide flexibility for different ceiling layouts and visual notification requirements.

Furthermore, the combined horn and strobe can simplify installation where both audible and visual notification are necessary.

Installation and Compatibility

Before installation, confirm the notification appliance circuit voltage, available current, synchronization method, and required candela setting.

Also, verify the electrical box, mounting configuration, and ceiling location.

Qualified fire alarm professionals should install and test the appliance. In addition, technicians should follow Simplex installation instructions and applicable fire alarm codes.

Overall, this Simplex TrueAlert ceiling horn/strobe provides flexible audible and visual notification for compatible fire alarm systems. Its selectable candela settings, synchronized flashing, white FIRE housing, and SmartSync compatibility make it a practical solution for professional installations.
