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.

Horn Selection for P, PC, & H series models

Horn setting selection is accomplished by using the rotary switch on the back of the product (see Table 5). The current draw for various horn settings for horn and 4-wire horn/ strobe products is listed in Table 6. The current draw for various horn and candela settings for 2-wire horn/strobe products (P2 series) is shown in Table 7 & 8. The sound measurements for various horn settings are shown in Table 9 for horn and horn/strobe products.
