Description
The System Sensor SRHKA-F is a red, wall-mounted outdoor strobe designed to provide high-intensity visual emergency notification in compatible commercial fire alarm systems. The -F suffix identifies the French-marked version, making it suitable for installations requiring French fire alarm appliance labeling.
This SpectrAlert Advance notification appliance provides field-selectable high-candela output, weather-resistant construction, synchronized flashing, and plug-in installation. The standard outdoor configuration includes a plastic weatherproof back box. This product is intended exclusively for commercial fire alarm installations.
Product Functions
- Provides visual fire alarm notification
- Produces a synchronized flashing signal
- Supports outdoor and weather-exposed installation
