MS Series strobes are specially designed for use with compatible life safety communication and control equipment to alert the hearing impaired of a life safety event. Strobes are available with 15/75 cd, and 110 cd effective flash intensity. They are fully compatible with Genesis signals. Strobes are shipped with standard wall mount style “FIRE” lens markings. Where ceiling mount, other languages, or different lens markings are required, Kidde offers optional LKW and LKC series Lens Marking Kits. These optional lens markings simply snap on to the strobe. MS Series strobes are designed for 16 to 33 Vdc operation and must be connected to signal circuits that output a constant (not pulsed) voltage. A diode is used to allow full signal circuit supervision and polarized connections are made to terminals that accept up to #12 AWG (2.5mm2) wire. The strobe housing/front plate is finished in red or white and is made from durable and fire retardant, high impact plastic with a slightly textured surface.
