Potter has recently announced that they are supporting a new series of notification devices. The Potter PE Series features LED horns, horn strobes, and speaker strobes that reduce power consumption by 70% and meet NFPA noise compliance standards. Speakers have a frequency range of 300 to 8000 Hz at minimal voltage, and are available in a variety of colors and lettering. Furthermore, the new series features CSFM, FM, and UL certifications. This series brings them more in line with their competitors, who have also started to adopt sleek, LED product lines as a means of lowering overall power consumption.
The PE Series has six different configurable candela settings, so you can select high or low candela ratings according to your needs. In addition, the devices use the Wheelock sync protocol to synchronize when connected to Potter fire alarm control panels. The horn sound pressure goes up to 91 dB and has intuitive sliding switches for sound and candela settings. PE series devices can utilize three horn patterns for fire and CO signaling: Continuous, T3, and T3/T4. As a final note, all of these patterns feature low and high settings to adapt to different occupancy types.
The PE series also has features to make the device user-friendly. The devices offers pre-wire and pre-test capabilities with a hinged mounting plate. Even more, wall models have a single gang design, allowing tool-free setting changes. The primary draw of this product line is efficiency and ease of use. Thus, you can reduce your power draw, while also saving on inventory by having up to 6 models in 1 appliance. The design of the PE series is sleek and modern, making this an exciting addition to our AV catalog.

Potter has been operating in St. Louis, Missouri since its founding. They are dedicated to innovating the highest quality life & fire safety products, and they have a long history of success. With the addition of the PE series, Potter will become a great option for those in the market for AV products. Potter makes a big leap in improvement by moving towards more energy efficiency and a more modern design. Other comparable notification product series, like Systems Sensor’s L-series and Kidde’s Genesis series, are also equipped with similar power-saving and efficient features. However, if you have a Potter control panel, then the release of the PE series is definitely a nice upgrade.
