Originally released under BRK, the Signal Strobe series was used with the MA Series horns, PA400 mini horns, and as a standalone remote strobe. These strobes used model numbers starting with "SS".

History

The Signal Strobe series was released in 1987 as part of the Multi-Alert series.[1] The original strobe was 1 candela and it was designed to be attached to a Multi-Alert sounder. There was also a patented filler that allowed it to be used as a standalone strobe.[2] At this time, System Sensor also released the MP-SF to make the device mountable to both 4-inch square and double gang boxes, making the series a replacement for the Notifier NWS series.

In 1993, System Sensor replaced the 1 candela models with LO and M models, which outputted 1.5 and 15 candela respectively.[3] Around 1994, System Sensor released the ADA models, which were UL 1971 compliant. Unlike the UL 1638 strobes, the ADA remote strobes did not have a separate filler device that could be removed to mount the device on a Multi-Alert sounder or V400 speaker. However, strobes that could be used for retrofits on sounders and speakers were released as the RK series.[4]
