The CSH-1224W Strobe/Horn Series provides a wide range of
candela light output options in a single device. The candela settings
include a 12 or 24 volt DC operation for the 1-3 settings candela
settings and 24 volt DC operation for the 1-6 candela settings.
The candela setting is displayed through the front window and is
selectable using a drum wheel.
The horn settings include Temporal, Non-Temporal, March Time
and a Chime sound. The horn also has Low, Mid and High volume
settings for each pattern and tone. The tones include 2400 Hz, Electro-
Mechanical, Broadband and Chime.
The voltage input can be either regulated DC or full wave rectied
(FWR) 12 volt or 24 volt operation with an operating range of 8 to

33V DC. The strobes can by synchronized using a control panel with
the Potter (Amseco) sync protocol or SMD10-3A sync module.
The CSH-1224W utilizes a universal mounting plate that will mount on
a single gang, double gang, octagon and 4” square electrical boxes. The
back plate allows the installer to mount the plate and terminate the wire
connections. The strobe/horn attaches in a hinge fashion from the top
and is secured by a single mounting screw. The strobe/horn completely
covers the mounting back plate, therefore it can be mounted before
other trades work is completed and not affect the nal look.
The Potter mass notication strobe/horn is listed for indoor and
outdoor installations. For outdoor installations, the device must be
mounted on a matching BBX-5 or BBK-1 outdoor bell back box.
Note: Installation must comply in accordance
with applicable standards.

High voltage may be present inside the light assembly
even though power is not connected. If access to the
component board is required (removal or replacement),
the capacitor must be discarged by touching a wire to
both ends of the ashtube.
DO NOT attempt to touch or move the assembly until the
capacitor has been discharged.
Note: To determine total current draw, add desired strobe setting and horn
selection. Refer to the installation instructions for further information.
