Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the candela rating mean?

A: Candela measures strobe intensity. Higher ratings such as 75 cd cover larger floor areas, and EN54-23 spacing tables show how many devices a room needs.

Q: Why synchronise strobes?

A: Synchronised flash prevents patterns that can trigger photosensitive reactions and keeps visual signalling coherent, which is required in many public building designs.

Q: Can the sounder tones be changed?

A: Yes. Multiple tones including temporal 3 are selectable by DIP switch or software, letting installers match the approved evacuation signal.

Q: Is a separate strobe-only model available?

A: Yes. Strobe-only and sounder-only models are available for silent or low-noise areas, plus combined units for standard zones.

Q: Do these devices work with your panels?

A: Yes. 24V DC conventional units wire to any NAC circuit, and addressable versions supervise and report on the Wanlin loop protocol.
