Potter Electric CHS-24AW Wall Mount Horn Strobe

Product Description

The Potter Electric CHS-24AW is a wall-mount combination horn and strobe unit designed for use in fire alarm notification systems. This device delivers both audible and visible alarm signals from a single wall-mounted assembly, simplifying installation and reducing wiring runs in commercial and light-industrial applications. The selectable output design allows technicians to configure the unit for horn-only, strobe-only, or combined horn-and-strobe operation, offering flexibility across a range of system layouts and code requirements. Licensed fire alarm installers and low-voltage electricians are the primary trades who specify and install this type of device.

The CHS-24AW is suited for interior wall-mount installations in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, warehouses, and similar occupancies where NFPA 72-compliant notification appliances are required. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for use on 24-volt notification appliance circuits within addressable or conventional fire alarm control panel systems. The selectable strobe candela setting allows the installer to match the device output to the layout and spacing requirements of the protected area.
