Applications
The Commander4 Series is a ceiling mount strobe or horn/strobe combination that
offers dependable audible and visual alarms and the lowest current consumption, ;
The GCS/GCC offers tamperproof field selectable candela options of 15,30,75,95, 115
and 150 candela. The GCC horn offers a continuous or synchable temporal three in �(•
2400Hz and mechanical tones, All tones are easy for the professional to change in the
field by using switches. � I RE'
The Commander4 Series comes standard with the 4"mounting plate which -:/ 1•
incorporates the popular Super-Slide`feature that allows the installer to easily test •
for supervision. The product also features a locking mechanism which secures the
product to the bracket without any screws showing. The Commander4 also features
the patented Checkmate instant voltage verification feature which allows the
installer to check the voltage drop draw and match it to the blueprint.
The GC Series appliances are ANSI/UL 464,ANSI/UL 1971,CAN/ULC 5525 and/or
CAN/ULC S526 listed for use with fire protective systems and are warranted for three
years from the date of purchase.

Operating the horn in this mode at this voltage will result in not meeting the minimum ANSI/UL 464 reverberant sound
level required for public mode fire protection service. These settings are acceptable only for private mode fire alarm
use. Use the high dBA setting for public mode application(not applicable when using the chime tone. The chime
tone is always private mode).

Architect & Engineering Specifications
The audible and/or vie signal shall be Gentex model GCS,GCC or approved equal and shall be listed by Underwriters Laboratories(ANSI/
UL)for use with fire protective signaling systems(ANSI/UL 1971 and/or ANSI/UL 464)and with CAN/ULC 5526 and/or CAN/ULCS525 with
intended use in fire alarm systems. The notification appliance(GCC)shall produce a peak sound output of 90 dBA or greater as measured
at 24 VDC in an anechoic chamber and shall also have the capability to silence the audible signal while leaving the visible signal energized
with the use of a single pair of power wires.Additionally,the user shall be able to select either continuous or temporal tone output with the
temporal signal having the ability to be synchronized. The audible/visible and visible signaling appliance shall also maintain a minimum flash
rate of 1Hz or up to 2Hz regardless of power input voltage. The strobe appliance shall have an operating current of 97 mA or less at 24 VDC
for the 15 candela strobe circuit.The unit shall be polarized to allow for electrical supervision of the system wiring.The unit shall be provided
with a mounting bracket with terminals with barriers for input/output wiring and be able to mount to a single gang or double gang box or
double workbox with the use of an adapter plate.The GC Series shall be mounted on the ceiling. The unit shall have an input voltage range
of 16-33 volts with either direct current or full wave rectified power. The appliance shall be capable of test supervision without disconnecting
wires,verify voltage without removing unit and be capable of mounting to a surface back box.
