Fire Notification Devices

Q: What are fire alarm notification devices?

Fire alarm notification devices alert building occupants when the fire alarm system is activated. Common devices include horns, strobes and combination horn-strobes. They must be selected and installed as part of the approved life-safety system, with compatibility, output, synchronization, mounting and code requirements verified for the project.

Q: What is the difference between a fire alarm horn and a strobe?

A horn provides an audible alarm signal, while a strobe provides a visible alarm signal. Combination horn-strobe devices provide both functions in one unit. The required type, placement and output depend on the building design and applicable requirements, so devices should not be selected solely by appearance or sound level.

Q: Can any horn or strobe be connected to any fire alarm panel?

No. Notification appliances must be compatible with the fire alarm system's notification circuits, voltage, current capacity and synchronization method where applicable. Use the control-panel and device manufacturer documentation and the approved system design to verify compatibility before replacement or expansion.

Q: What should be checked when replacing a fire alarm strobe or horn-strobe?

Verify the exact device family, voltage, candela or output settings, mounting configuration, synchronization requirements, circuit capacity and listing for the system. Fire alarm notification equipment is regulated life-safety hardware, so replacement and testing should follow applicable local requirements and be performed by qualified personnel.

Fire Alarm Horns, Strobes & Notification Devices

Shop fire alarm notification devices including horns, strobes and related audible or visual signaling equipment. Compare voltage, current draw, candela or sound-output options, mounting style, synchronization requirements and fire alarm panel compatibility.

Selecting Compatible Fire Alarm Notification Appliances

Notification appliances must work with the system notification circuits, power supplies and synchronization method. Similar-looking devices are not automatically interchangeable. Confirm the model family, electrical requirements and required audible or visual performance against current manufacturer documentation and applicable project requirements.
