Low Frequency Audible Signal
24 VDC 520 Hz square wave audible
24 units per carton, 28 pounds per carton
Applications
The GHLF is a high quality, low profile, low frequency audible appliance that offers
a dependable audible alarm with a low current draw. The GHLF is ideal for any
occupancy that requires notification appliances.
The GHLF horn offers a 520 Hz square wave, temporal 3 tone. A jumper selection is
available for normal or loud decibel tone. A temporal 4 pattern is available when used
with the Gentex GTSM Synchronization Control Module.
The GHLF is shipped with a standard 4” metal mounting plate which incorporates the
popular Super-Slide® feature that allows the installer to easily test for supervision. The
product also features a locking mechanism which secures the product to the bracket
without any screws showing.
The GHLF also features the patented Checkmate® - Instant Voltage Verification feature
which allows the installer to check the voltage drop and match it to the blueprint.
The GHLF horn is listed to ANSI/UL 464 and CAN/ULC S525, is listed for use with fire
protective systems and is warranted for three years from date of purchase.

Notes
• Operating temperature: 32° to 120°F (0° to 49°C)
• The GHLF is not listed for outdoor use
• For nominal and peak current across ANSI/UL regulated voltage
range for filtered DC power and unfiltered (FWR [Full Wave
Rectified]) power, see installation manual
• The sound output for the temporal 3 tone is rated lower since the
time the horn is off is averaged into the sound output rating
• This appliance is not recommended for use on coded or pulsing
signaling circuits
• The four pulse temporal pattern (temporal 4) can only be
obtained on this product when used in conjunction with the
Gentex GTSM synchronization module
• See GTSM control module manual (550-0632, manual issue date
(02-01-15) for synchronization module wiring diagrams. GTSM
manual can be obtained at www.gentex.com/fire, or call Gentex

Low Frequency Audible Signal
Architect & Engineering Specifications
The alarm horns shall be Gentex model GHLF. The appliance shall
be listed with Underwriters Laboratories (ANSI/UL) for use with fire
protective signaling systems ANSI/UL 464 and with CAN/ULC S525
with intended use in fire alarm systems. The GHLF will produce
a peak sound output of 88.3 dBA as measured in an anechoic
chamber. The appliance shall be polarized to allow for electrical
supervision of the system wiring. The unit shall be provided with
a mounting bracket with terminals and barriers for input/output
wiring and be able to mount to a single gang or double gang box or
double workbox without the use of an adapter plate. The GHLF shall
be mounted on the wall or the ceiling. The unit shall have an input
voltage range of 16-33 volts with either direct current or full wave
rectified power at 24 VDC. The appliance shall be capable of testing
supervision without disconnecting wires, verify voltage without
removing unit and be capable of mounting to a surface back box.
Gentex Super-Slide® Mounting Bracket
Allows the installer to prewire the system, test for system
supervision, remove the signal head until occupancy, switch out
Gentex signals without changing mounting brackets and has
locking edge connector for snap-in-place installation.
Gentex Checkmate® Instant Voltage
Verification
It is often necessary to confirm the voltage drop along a line of
devices. The access holes are provided in the back of the terminal
block to allow the voltage to be measured directly without
removing the device. Typically this would be done at the end of the
line to confirm design criteria. Most measurements will be taken
using the S+ and S- locations although access is provided to other
locations. Notice: Care should be taken to not short the test probes.
