The System Sensor P2RK FIRE Outdoor Horn Strobe is an audible/visible fire alarm notification appliance designed for outdoor wall-mounted applications. It combines an electronic horn with a selectable-output strobe in a red weatherproof housing marked FIRE.
The P2RK is a two-wire notification appliance and is supplied with the appropriate outdoor backbox for standard installations. It supports compatible 12V and 24V notification circuits depending on the selected candela setting.
Product Functions
- Provides audible fire alarm notification
- Provides visible fire alarm notification
- Designed for outdoor wall mounting
- Red housing with FIRE marking
- Two-wire horn/strobe operation
- Includes weatherproof mounting backbox
- Provides multiple selectable candela settings
- Supports Temporal 3 and continuous horn operation
- Provides selectable horn volume
- Supports synchronized horn/strobe signaling
- Supports compatible 12V and 24V circuits
- Designed for conventional fire alarm notification systems
Selectable Candela
The P2RK provides the following field-selectable strobe settings:
15 cd
15/75 cd
30 cd
75 cd
95 cd
110 cd
115 cd
The lower settings support applicable 12V or 24V operation, while higher candela settings are intended for compatible 24V circuits.
Electronic Horn
The electronic horn supports:
Temporal 3
and
Continuous
operation.
The appliance also provides multiple selectable sound levels, allowing the installer to adjust audible output according to the notification requirements of the protected area.
Outdoor Operation
The P2RK is designed specifically for outdoor and wet-location fire alarm notification applications.
Its published operating temperature range extends approximately from:
-40°F to 151°F
-40°C to 66°C
The complete weatherproof mounting arrangement should be maintained for outdoor use.
Two-Wire Operation
The P2RK uses a two-wire configuration for audible and visible notification.
This allows both horn and strobe functions to operate from a common notification appliance circuit while still supporting synchronized signaling with compatible System Sensor equipment.
Synchronized Notification
The P2RK supports the System Sensor synchronization protocol.
With compatible synchronization equipment, multiple strobes can flash together and horn signaling can be coordinated across the notification circuit.
The strobe operates at approximately:
1 flash per second
under normal operating conditions.
