GHLF 24 VDC Series 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.
