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
