Potter Amseco SSX-52B 120dB Durable Siren Strobe, Blue Lens

The Potter Amseco SSX-52SB is a 12VDC indoor/outdoor electronic security siren with an integrated blue strobe, designed to provide audible and visual alarm notification for intrusion and security systems. Producing a 120 dB warble tone at 1 foot, the siren-strobe features a blue lens with a minimum on-axis intensity of 1.80 candela and a flash rate of 20-100 flashes per minute. It operates at 9.6-14.4VDC with a maximum current draw of 748mA. Its polycarbonate housing, aluminum mounting plate, and dual-action tamper switch support wall-mounted security installations.

Potter Amseco SSX-52SB 120 dB Indoor/Outdoor Security Siren with Blue Strobe

The Potter Amseco SSX-52SB is a self-contained electronic security siren and blue strobe combination designed for audible and visual intrusion alarm notification. Its integrated siren driver generates a 120 dB warble tone measured at 1 foot, while the blue strobe provides a flashing visual indication when the alarm is activated. The combined signaling functions support security alarm installations in warehouses, loading docks, manufacturing facilities, retail properties, and commercial buildings. The SSX-52SB incorporates the siren, strobe, and tamper protection in one enclosure, eliminating the need for a separate siren driver or external strobe assembly.

The SSX-52SB operates on 12VDC nominal power with an allowable voltage range of 9.6-14.4VDC. Its combined siren and strobe circuitry draws approximately 670mA at 12VDC under typical operating conditions, with a maximum current draw of 748mA. The blue strobe uses a colored mirror and lens to produce a minimum 1.80-candela on-axis light output at a flash rate of 20-100 flashes per minute. The siren produces a single warble alarm tone rated at 115 dBA at 1 meter. An integrated normally closed tamper switch rated at 0.3A at 12VDC monitors interference with the enclosure, including cover removal and mounting-surface tampering.

The Potter Amseco SSX-52SB features a corrosion-resistant polycarbonate housing and rigid aluminum mounting plate designed for indoor and outdoor installations. The siren-strobe assembly measures approximately 7.08 inches high and 4.37 inches deep, with a compact mounting arrangement that supports direct wall installation or attachment to a compatible BBK-1 outdoor back box. Its dual-action tamper mechanism provides protection against enclosure opening and unauthorized removal from the mounting surface. The unit includes wiring terminals for power and tamper connections, while the removable cover provides access to the internal circuitry during installation. Its specified operating temperature range is -4 F to 149 F (-20 C to 65 C).

The SSX-52SB integrates with compatible intrusion alarm control panels and regulated 12VDC security power supplies capable of supporting its maximum electrical load. Its audible and visual signaling functions provide alarm notification in locations with elevated ambient noise, including industrial work areas, loading facilities, and secured building entrances. The SSX-52SB is the blue-strobe configuration, identified by Potter stock number 4150026. Related models include the SSX-52SA with an amber strobe, SSX-52SC with a clear strobe, and SSX-52SR with a red strobe. Unlike the SSX-52 siren-only model, the SSX-52SB provides both audible and visual security notification. Installation requires correct DC polarity, adequate power supply capacity, and appropriate tamper circuit supervision according to Potter's wiring instructions.
