Potter EH24 Series Wall Mount Electronic Horn Owner's manual

  • I've reviewed the datasheet for the Potter EH24 Series electronic horn. This document details the features of the devices, including multiple tone options, voltage verification using the Checkmate system, and the Super-Slide bracket for easy installation. I can help you with any questions you have about the device's specifications, operation, or installation.
  • What voltage does the horn operate at?
    What tones are available?
    Can the horn be silenced while the strobes remain flashing?
    Is there a way to verify voltage during installation?
