Sound Level
|
|
Sound level is often measured as sound intensity, which is defined as the sound power per unit area. The most common approach to sound intensity measurement is to use the decibel scale. Decibels measure the ratio of a given intensity, I, to the threshold of hearing intensity, I0, so that this threshold takes the value 0 decibels (0 dB). Decibel output is commonly rated at 10 feet. A-weighting is often used to more closely match the measurement to the sound heard by the human ear. Some other specialized weighting modes are B, C, D, and G.

|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Adhesive / Magnetic Base
|
|
The device has a self-adhesive or magnetic base. It is designed to be glued / adhered to surface.
|
| |
Chassis / Rack / DIN Rail
|
|
Chassis mount devices can be attached to, or within, the supporting frame of a structure (chassis), exclusive of the body or housing. Some chassis varieties can be mounted within a rack. Rack mount units can be mounted directly into a rack. They come equipped with the necessary rail guides, flanges, or tabs to be mounted in this fashion. The standard 19" rack is typical of this style. DIN rail devices can be mounted on a standard DIN rail.
|
| |
Flange Mount
|
|
The device is equipped with integral flanges so that it can be mounted with the use of external hardware (screws, bolts, rails, etc.).
|
| |
Stand Alone / Freestanding
|
|
Stand alone devices do not need to be mounted; they can stand on its own.
|
| |
Handheld / Portable
|
|
Handheld or portable devices are designed to be moved freely; they are not meant to be bolted or hardwired in place. This style can include items with wheels, briefcase, laptop style, or handheld products.
|
| |
Flush Mount
|
|
The device can be placed into, or through, a depression within an existing panel so that it's face is flush, or nearly flush, with the panel, wall, or ceiling. The method of attachment may include screws, bolts, rails, flanges, etc.
|
| |
Pole Mount
|
|

|
The "acknowledge" feature allows the operator to mute the audible alarm while maintaining some visual alarm indication.
|
| |
Battery Back-up
|
|
The unit has back-up batteries in case of power failure.
|
| |
Explosion Proof
|
|
Explosion-proof devices have totally enclosed housings that are constructed to withstand internal explosion of a specified gas, vapor or dust. Should such an explosion occur, the enclosure would prevent the ignition or explosion of the gas or vapor surrounding the motor enclosure. Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) governs several explosion-proof ratings.
|
| |
Intrinsically Safe
|
|
Intrinsically safe (IS) is an adjective for equipment and wiring that is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture in its most ignited concentration. The IS terminations and wiring may be brought into any hazardous location of any group classification for which it is accepted without requiring explosion proof housing or other means of protection.
|
| |
Outdoor Rated / Weatherproof
|
|
The device is designed to function normally in an outdoor environment. It is, to varying degrees, sunlight, water, temperature, frost and ice, etc., resistant.
|
| |
Submersible
|
|
Submersible devices are designed to function optimally while underwater.
|
| |
Synchronization
|
|
The alarm, annunciator, provides built-in synchronization of audible signals or strobes. NFPA 72 requires visual appliances to flash in synchronization in rooms or areas where there are two or more visual devices that are not a minimum of 55 feet apart. NFPA 72 requires that fire alarm signals be distinctive in sound from other signals and used for that purpose only. This is known as the three-pulse temporal pattern.
|
| |
Voice Evacuation
|
|
Voice evacuation alarms are manual or automatic supervised paging systems used to transmit a voice message (such as information, instruction, direction) on a selective and all-call basis.
|
| |
Volume Control Option
|
|
The alarm contains an adjustable volume control.
