Asenware AW-CSS2166-5 Fire Strobe Sounder 24V DC Conventional Alert

AW-CSS2166-5 Notification Device

The Asenware AW-CSS2166-5 Strobe Sounder provides critical audible and visual notification within conventional fire alarm systems. This notification appliance operates on a standard 24V DC circuit. It integrates high-intensity LEDs with a piezoelectric transducer to ensure maximum coverage during emergency events. The device supports polarized wiring for supervised circuits. Consequently, it facilitates easy integration into existing life safety infrastructures. Engineers prioritize this model for its low current consumption and high reliability in commercial environments. Therefore, it serves as a robust endpoint for zone-based fire detection networks.

Key Features

• Dual Signaling Mechanism
  The unit generates both a high-decibel acoustic output and a synchronized visual flash to alert occupants.

• Supervised Circuit Compatibility
  The internal circuitry includes a blocking diode to allow for electrical supervision of the notification appliance circuit.

• Durable Housing Construction

  • Constructed from flame-retardant ABS plastic for heat resistance.
  • Standard red finish ensures high visibility in industrial settings.

Technical Overview

This notification device functions as a non-addressable unit. It activates immediately upon receiving power from the fire alarm control panel. The flash rate remains consistent between 60 and 90 pulses per minute. Additionally, the sound pressure level exceeds 100 decibels at a one-meter distance. This ensures the alert penetrates high-ambient noise environments. However, the current draw remains efficient, typically staying below 50mA during active states. This efficiency allows more devices on a single loop without exceeding power supply capacities. The unit mounts to standard electrical backboxes for streamlined installation.
