System Sensor: Difference between revisions
Remove mentions of "SpectrAlert Classic"; again, this is not a name used by System Sensor itself. Also cut down on redundant content, and moved a sentence where it would be more relevant. |
Ironmatic1 (talk | contribs) Just gonna remove this "distribution partners" bit because there's no source for this, and frankly I don't think it's true. If I had to guess, it's probably ADI. Unless by private they literally mean not publicly traded, but even then, that makes no sense to include. |

Early products included the MASS and PA400 Series. The MASS was multi-tone and came in remote horn and horn strobe models as well as remote strobe models, and speaker strobes and remote speakers. The System Sensor PA400 is a mini horn, with an optional strobe attachment. In the 1990s, System Sensor updated the MASS with an ADA-complaint strobe. Around this time, System Sensor also had a line of smoke detectors, including the System Sensor 1400 2-wire Ionization detector and the 2400 2-wire Photoelectric detector. In 1997, the MASS was replaced with the SpectrAlert series, which included horn strobes, strobes, remote horns, chimes, chime strobes, speakers, and speaker strobes. A main feature of these was the ability to sync using a System Sensor MDL sync module or the System Sensor sync protocol on a supported [[fire alarm control panel]]. There were multiple generations of the SpectrAlert. The first generation had a screw lock. The second generation, released in the early 2000s, replaced the screw lock with a clip lock. Approximately before 2006, the third generation was released with multi-candela strobes, and replaced the jumpers for the horn tone with [[DIP switch|DIP switches]].

In 2006, the original SpectrAlert series were replaced with the SpectrAlert Advance. Its main features were an updated mounting plate wiring design, allowing for easier installation, more candela options, and an updated design. The Advance came in the same models as the original SpectrAlert, with the addition of mini horns, and Low-frequency sounders, which were released in 2014. In 2017, the System Sensor L-Series was released. New features included a new 3000 hertz tone, more candela options, lower power draw, and an updated design.

System Sensor is a company headquartered in St. Charles, Illinois, dedicated to the research, development and manufacture of fire protection equipment. System Sensor is a part of the Honeywell Life Safety Group.[1] System Sensor develops and distributes fire alarm devices such as notification appliances, fire detectors, manual initiating devices (pull stations and call points), CO detectors, and more fire protection devices for multiple markets across the globe, and for other Honeywell companies.[2]

System Sensor was founded in 1984[3] to address the requirements of exclusive industry fire alarm products. Early products included the MASS and PA400 Series. The MASS was multi-tone and came in remote horn and horn strobe models as well as remote strobe models, and speaker strobes and remote speakers. The System Sensor PA400 is a mini horn, with an optional strobe attachment. In the 1990s, System Sensor updated the MASS with an ADA-complaint strobe. Around this time, System Sensor also had a line of smoke detectors, including the System Sensor 1400 2-wire Ionization detector and the 2400 2-wire Photoelectric detector.

A main feature of these was the ability to sync using a System Sensor MDL sync module or the System Sensor sync protocol on a supported fire alarm control panel. There were multiple generations of the SpectrAlert. The first generation had a screw lock. The second generation, released in the early 2000s, replaced the screw lock with a clip lock. Approximately before 2006, the third generation was released with multi-candela strobes, and replaced the jumpers for the horn tone with DIP switches.
