HomeMy WebLinkAboutA10-0062 gentex hornsThe GX91/GX93 Series mini-horn is a high quality remote signaling appliance that offers
dependable remote annunciation. The GX91/GX93 is listed for use with both filtered and
unfiltered power.
The GX91 is a continuous tone mini horn. This unit is not synchable with the AVS Series
Control Module. It is however synchable from the panel. With the GX93 a jumper is
provided to select either the continuous tone or the temporal 3 evacuation tone.
The GX93 can be used on the same sync circuit (AVS Series Control Module) as other
Gentex signals. The GX91/GX93 appliances are UL464 listed for use with fire protective
systems and are warranted for three years from the date of purchase.

Standard Features
Notes: The sound output for the temporal 3
tone is rated lower since the time the horn is
off is averaged into the sound output rating.
While the horn is producing a tone in the
temporal 3 mode its sound pressure is the
same as the continuous mode.
Operating temperature - Indoor Use Only
Indoor: 32°to 120°F (0°to 49°C)
1 RMS current ratings are per ULaverage RMS method. ULmax current rating is the maximum RMS current within the listed voltage range (16-33VDC for 24VDC
units) (8-17VDC for 12VDC units). For strobes the UL max current is usually at the minimum listed voltage (16VDC for 24VDC units) (8VDC for 12VDC units). For
audibles the max current is usually at the maximum listed voltage. For unfiltered FWR ratings, see installtion manual.
