The Potter Electric Signal SL-5AR is a 12/24 VDC conical strobe with a red lens. First, the SL-5AR delivers a 160,000 candle-power output through a xenon flash tube. Then, the 360-degree visual annunciation reaches occupants from any approach angle. As a result, the SL-5AR suits applications where high-intensity omnidirectional signaling is required.
Potter Electric Signal SL-5AR construction
The base uses impact-resistant black ABS plastic. Specifically, the lens is interchangeable polycarbonate in amber, blue, clear, or red. In addition, the strobe offers over 200 hours of operating life. Furthermore, the SL-5AR is polarized for connection to supervised security circuits.
Voltage selection
The strobe accepts polarized filtered DC or unfiltered full-wave-rectified input. Specifically, voltage is selectable between 12 VDC and 24 VDC. Therefore, integrators match the strobe to the available control panel supply.
Application context
The SL-5A series is built for commercial security and intrusion signaling. Specifically, suitable applications include parking facilities, schools, corridors, apartments, office buildings, restaurants, and hotels. However, installation must comply with applicable standards and local electrical codes plus the authority having jurisdiction.
Mounting
The SL-5AR ships with one M3x6 screw and two rubber washers. In addition, the strobe surface-mounts to a 4-inch square box. Specifically, the optional Potter 4SP-MW plate dresses the mounting.
