CANDELA SELECTION
Adjust the slide switch on the rear of the product to position the desired can-
dela setting in the small window on the front of the unit. All products meet
the light output profiles specified in the appropriate UL Standards.For K series
products used outdoors at low temperatures,listed candela rarings must be re-
duced in accordance with Table 2.Use Table 1 to determine the current draw
for each candela setting.WIRING DIAGRAMS
NOTE: SpectrAlert products set at 75 and 15/75 candela automatically work
on either 12V or 24V power supplies. The products are not listed for 12V op-
erating voltages when set to any other candela settings. For 4-Wire products,
total current draw may be determined by adding current draw for the specific
candela selection in Table I with the current draw for the specific horn selec-
tion in Table 3.
