The actual effect depends on the acoustic properties of materials in the space. Horns and horn-strobes are factory set for high dB output. A 3 dBA difference represents a barely noticeable change in volume. Low dB output may be selected by cutting a jumper on the circuit board. This reduces the output by about 5 dB. ECS/MNS Applications Genesis ECS/MNS strobe appliances bring the same high- performance fire alarm features and unobtrusive design to mass notification applications. Available with amber lenses and optional Wiring ALERT housing labels, they are ideal for applications that require Field wiring terminals accommodate #18 to #12 AWG (0.75 mm² differentiation between fire alarm and mass notification alerts. to 2.5 mm²) wiring. Horns, strobes, and combination horn-strobes are interconnected with a single pair of wires as shown below. Page 2 of 6 D A T A S H E E T 85001-0573 Not to be used for installation purposes.
