Candela Selection for P, S, PC, & SC series models
For strobe candela selection, adjust the slide switch located on the rear of the product while watching the viewing win- dow under the reflector on the front of the unit. Use Table 1 to determine current draw at various candela settings. Table 2 can be used to derate the candela rating for low temperature operation. Tables 3 & 4 can be used to deter- mine strobe light output at various viewing angles.
NOTE: SpectrAlert products set at 15 and 15/75 candela au- tomatically work on either 12V or 24V power supplies. The products are not listed for 12V operating voltages when set to any other candela settings.
