Potter Electric PE-4XHS-FR Nema 4X Horn Strobe

Product Description

The Potter Electric Signal Co PE-4XHS-FR is a NEMA 4X-rated combination horn strobe notification appliance designed for fire alarm and life safety systems. The NEMA 4X enclosure rating means the unit is protected against corrosion, dust, and water ingress, making it suitable for demanding environments where a standard indoor device would fail. This device combines an audible horn with a visible strobe flash to alert occupants during an alarm event. Licensed fire alarm technicians and life safety contractors install this device as part of a listed notification appliance circuit.

This horn strobe is intended for use in commercial, industrial, and institutional applications where harsh or wet environments require a weatherproof notification appliance. Typical installation locations include exterior building walls, covered outdoor areas, industrial process areas, food processing facilities, wash-down zones, and other locations subject to moisture or corrosive atmospheres. The unit is appropriate wherever code requires both audible and visible alarm notification in an NFPA 72-compliant system.
