Conventional Method:
You may connect both the strobe and the horn directly from a source of rated power without the use of a control module. However, the horns and strobe
lights will NOT be synchronized. Place switches 1 and 2 up on the GEC3-12 (Fig.1) to power both the audible and visible from a single pair of power
wires. If you wish to power the horn and strobe from independent sources of power, place switches 1 and 2 down on the GEC3-12 and connect power to
the appropriate terminals.
CAUTION: When using only a single power source to energize the strobe and
horn (switches 1 and 2 up), the in/out wiring must be under the S+
and S- terminals only. Failure to do so may result in damage to
your signal. For the horn only (GEH12) and strobe only (GES3-12),
only the top three terminals are to be used.
NOTE: INSTALLATION IN CANADA - All Canadian installations should be in
accordance with the Canadian Standard for the Installation of Fire
