Abstract: A contact cover for a notification appliance mounting plate is disclosed. In one embodiment, the contact cover includes a plastic body, wherein the plastic body is sized to cover less than an entire surface area of the notification appliance mounting plate, at least one piece of metal, a means for coupling said at least one piece of metal to said plastic body and one or more polarized tabs.

Abstract: A mounting plate assembly for a notification appliance is disclosed. For example, a mounting plate is designed with at least one aperture for receiving a plurality of leads, e.g., from a backbox. In turn, these leads can be received by a plurality of contacts that are deployed on the mounting plate. In one embodiment, at least two of these contacts are in physical contact with each other at a juncture, thereby providing connectivity between these two contacts. However, the physical contact at the juncture is non-resettable, i.e., if a force is applied to the juncture, then the connectivity is severed and the physical contact between the two contacts cannot be easily re-established even if the force is removed.

Abstract: A strobe alarm has a multi-position switch for selecting a predetermined strobe intensity. The strobe alarm comprises a strobe assembly having selector switch, an indicator and a menu. The selector switch is positioned within the strobe alarm to discourage tampering. The indicator and menu are positioned in plain view for easy determination of the intensity setting of the strobe alarm.

Abstract: The bases of an audible alarm unit and an audible/visible alarm unit are configured to be used interchangeably with a single cover. The cover has an opening that receives a projecting wall portion on the base of the audible alarm unit and a receptacle for a strobe lamp unit on the base of the audible/visible alarm unit. The bases have mounting holes that enable the alarm units to be mounted on several types of standard backboxes, the cover concealing the screw holes for good appearance of the installed units.

Abstract: A generally square mounting plate for attaching the cover of an audible-visual alarm to a backbox includes a plurality of openings along each side of the plate. The openings are configured and positioned to accommodate the mounting bolt placement of various standard backboxes, including 4-inch, international, single-gang and double-gang backboxes. Indicia are provided on the front of the plate to guide the installer in the correct assembly of the plate to the backbox to provide a desired orientation of a feature of the alarm, advantageously a strobe unit. The alarm generating components, e.g., a strobe unit and/or an acoustic transducer, may be carried either by the alarm cover or by the mounting plate.
