FIRE STROBE 2000 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

I. BASIC CONCEPT

The FIRE STROBE 2000 signal is received optically by line of sight. The range varies with the ambient light and intensity of the strobe emitter. A typical range varies from 150 feet to 500 feet. The detector will not allow false operation with unwanted signals from radio interference and/or flashing headlights or loud sounds as it is 100 percent digital.

The acquisition time from the emitter light source to the discriminate module is approximately 500ms.

The FIRE STROBE 2000 is widely used for security/electric gate access. It can be used for firehouse garage doors and other related access needed by emergency vehicles. This emergency-vehicle strobe detector provides rapid access to any gated community that has been serviced by fire and emergency equipments from the OPTICOM* Strobe system and now with our new STROBEWATCH feature, it responds to both double and quad flash strobes found on many police and emergency vehicles.

II. INSTALLATION & TESTING

Complete installation instructions are provided with the FIRE STROBE 2000 for simple hook-up of the unit to interface with your gate or access control. Two dry contacts are also provided for bi-directional operation where needed.

The photoeye assembly is typically mounted 8 feet to 10 feet above the street level and is aimed for optimal strobe signal. (A total of (2) photoeye assemblies may be used) A 12 VAC power supply is provided with the FIRE STROBE 2000 system.

Testing can be accomplished with the optional fire strobe transmitter tester. This FIRE STROBE 2000 transmitter will enable a throughput of signals from the photoeye assembly to the relay output. This is a hand-held transmitter which operates via 9-Volt battery.
