The resources on Honeywell’s website make no mention of a T4 setting. The fact that the remote horn does not have the test ports, has the same model number as the xenon L-series horns, in addition to being the the only current non-voice notification appliance to handle FWR, points towards the horn being the same as on the xenon L-Series horns instead of being updated to have T4 capabilities.
I suppose it would make sense to just keep on selling the original L-series remote horn, even if it doesn’t have some of the new features the new LED L-series devices have.
It would only make sense if the horn circuitry were indeed unchanged, otherwise you’d have the problem of the horn strobes being able to do T3/T4 and the remote horns unable to. No idea why Honeywell decided to scrap the T3/T4 option after mentioning it in the internal announcement. I doubt patent issues are the reason due to Gentex LF sounders being able to do T3/T4 with a sync module, unless Gentex worked something out with Eaton to allow them to do so.

My guess is the LED L-Series temporal 4 setting is currently undocumented but it will be available when they release a temporal 4 module for it. Just my guess.
I’m not sure that will be the case, given that the wording of the documentation implies that the LED horn strobes leave the horn untouched. Notice how the horn only models have the current draw as they did in the xenon era. Plus, they can do 12V and FWR, and do not have the test ports. If they were going to do the module, they would have to make sure that all L-Series audible devices could do it.
Ok well, here we go again.
I wanted to mention some developments in the LED L series situation.
Here is my P2RLED setting on a new cd setting called “FCP”. This setting will supposedly allow the control panel’s programming to set the candela for each device. I don’t get how this will work, but we’ll find out.
According to “@joeycaridi3030” on YouTube, System Sensor is going to have an addressable version of the LED L-Series. I don’t think this is true at the moment but we will have to find out.
Of course system sensor is not fully complete with releasing the LED L-series, we are still waiting for the other models such as the Speakers and weatherproof models. we’ll have to see where this goes from here.

Does it say anywhere in official documentation what the “FCP” setting does? If not we have no idea what it’s actually for.
that joeycaridi3030 guy seems to spew a lot of false stuff after reading over a few comments left, I’d like to see some sort of system sensor data sheet mentioning this.

Yeah I wouldn’t trust what someone like him says: wait until System Sensor issues an official statement on what the “FCP” setting is for.
Yeah I agree with that
This is kinda the same thing as the Temporal 4 thing, the installation manual says nothing about “FCP”.
Very odd if you ask me that System Sensor would apparently overlook something like that in the documentation, almost as if they expect everyone to already know what it means.
The FCP setting is actually listed in this documentation
Assuming it isn’t for an addressable version, why didn’t they wait until they finished the FCP candela setting and T3/T4 coding option before releasing them, and is that why they can’t run on FWR? If it is for an addressable version, I wonder how long it is until that releases, and why is that setting selectable?
Maybe they will come out with a new module or something that can interface with these functions. I feel like they released this series before it was truly finished. They should have waited.
Yeah, they definitely seem rushed. I wonder if they wanted to release if before the year ended?
As Toy Story 2’s cleaner said: “You can’t rush art!”, & that’s apparently exactly what System Sensor did (wouldn’t surprise me if Honeywell corporate management is to blame for that though).
Honestly these things shouldn’t have came out when they did. I don’t know why Honeywell though it was a good idea to push these out. The problem is that System Sensor is only going to offer the LED L-Series without Xenon L-Series being around. The device not being able to run on FWR is ridiculous since some of the FireLite panels (and Notifier aswell) run if FWR. Making it unusable on those panels. If you have a 9200UDLS and you have a Advance due on you, you are screwed. Either get a power supply or replace the panel. Also the QR codes are a stupid idea
The LED L-Series is terrible product.
I think it’s the worst fire alarm device in my opinion.
I’m hoping people would start using Wheelock Eluxas or Gentex instead of the LED L-Series.
My guess is that they’re going to release an addressable version.
Patents last for 20 years, so I’d assume they waited for Simplex’s patents on addressable notification to expire.
