TrueAlert Notification Appliances

UL, ULC, CSFM Listed; FM Approved; SmartSync Control Module and

MEA (NYC) Acceptance* Strobe Synchronization Modules

Features
Convert conventional Notification Appliance
Circuits (NACs) into SmartSync circuits or
synchronized strobe circuits:
 Simplex® SmartSync Control Modules combine
separate horn and strobe NAC inputs into a 2-wire
control that can silence horns while maintaining
synchronized strobe operation
 Synchronized Flash Modules provide a 2-wire
synchronized strobe output that also operates
compatible 24 VDC conventional reverse polarity
notification appliances
SmartSync Control Module (SCM) provides 4905-9938 SmartSync Control Module (SCM),
two-wire control to separately activate horns and Shown Approximately 1/2 Size
strobes:
 Operation allows “on-until-silenced” and
“on-until-reset” on the same two-wire pair while
maintaining supervision continuity
 SmartSync horns sound as Temporal or March
Time pattern, or continuous, controlled separately
from strobes on the same circuit
 Strobes on the same circuit operate at a
synchronized 1 Hz flash rate
 Output is either Class B or Class A 4905-9922, Class A Synchronized Flash Module,
Conventional strobe synchronization models: Shown Approximately 1/2 Size

 Encapsulated package with color coded wire leads

provides 1 Hz strobe synchronization and maintains
supervision continuity
SmartSync Control Module (SCM)
 Conventional horns and other DC appliances
operate on the same 2-wire circuit Model 4905-9938 SCM (SmartSync Control Module)
converts two conventional NAC inputs into a SmartSync
 Models are available with Class B or Class A two-wire NAC output. One NAC can be programmed to
output operate as “on-until-silenced” and would be designated as
 Small size allows convenient mounting the horn control (non-coded, on continuously during
alarm). A second NAC would be programmed to provide
UL listed to Standard 1971 “on-until-reset” operation and would be for the visible
appliance (strobe) control (also non-coded, on
continuously during alarm). Power is supplied by the
strobe control NAC.
