Potter Electric Signal sl-5a-a Strobe Light 12/24 Vdc Amber

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL sl-5a-a is a high-intensity, solid-state strobe light designed for life-safety visual notification applications. It operates on 12 or 24 volts DC using a 4-wire configuration and draws a low 250 milliamps at 24V DC, making it well suited for supervised signaling circuits. The unit uses a xenon flash tube to deliver 360-degree visual annunciation. The sl-5a-a is a high-profile strobe that can operate as a standalone device or in combination with audible and other visual signaling devices. Licensed fire alarm technicians and electricians are the primary installers.

The sl-5a-a is intended for commercial and residential occupancies that require reliable visual warning coverage. Typical applications include parking facilities, schools, corridors, apartment buildings, office buildings, restaurants, and hotels. Its polarized design allows connection to supervised circuits, which is a standard requirement in addressable and conventional fire alarm systems. The amber lens version makes it appropriate for applications where amber-specific notification is specified by the authority having jurisdiction.

Key Features

• 360-degree visual annunciation via xenon flash tube
• Dual-voltage operation: 12 or 24 volts DC
• Low current draw of 250 mA at 24V DC
• Polarized for supervised circuit compatibility
• 4-wire configuration supports combination with other signaling devices
• Amber lens for application-specific visual notification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation strobe for supervised 12/24V DC fire alarm and notification circuits in commercial and residential life-safety systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or electrician and must comply with applicable NFPA standards, NEC requirements, and all state and local codes as directed by the authority having jurisdiction. De-energize and silence the fire alarm control panel before wiring or servicing the strobe. Verify polarity before connecting to supervised circuits to prevent reverse-polarity faults. Do not exceed the supervised circuit loading limits specified by the fire alarm control panel manufacturer.
