I don't even know where to start with this article. The entire thing is original research, and there's no real way to source any of it. Some of it is straight up made up, such as the term "classic" which was invented by kids online. And the "L-series LED" is speculation from a discord user who for all we know could have just drawn it themselves. The grammar is atrocious. And what is this? "The Advance is thought to be the most popular alarm in America." Also, random advert for Insteon?

== History (Americas) ==
System Sensor was founded in 1984<ref>{{cite web |title=About System Sensor |url=http://www.systemsensor.com/html/about.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100308105416/http://www.systemsensor.com/html/about.html |archive-date=March 8, 2010 |accessdate=24 October 2009}}</ref> to address the requirements of exclusive industry fire alarm products. Their firstEarly products wereincluded the MASS and PA400 Series. The MASS was multi-tone and came in remote horn and horn strobe models as well as remote strobe models, and evenspeaker Speaker Strobesstrobes and Remoteremote Speakersspeakers. The System Sensor PA400 is a mini horn., The PA400 haswith an optional strobe attachment. In the 90s1990s, system Sensor updated the MASS with an ADA-complaint strobe. Around this time, System Sensor also had a line of smoke detectors, including the System Sensor 1400 2-wire Ionization detector, and the 2400 2-wire Photoelectric detector. In 1997, the MASS was replaced with the SpectralertSpectrAlert "Classic"series, thewhich Classicincluded came in Hornhorn Strobesstrobes, Strobesstrobes, Remoteremote Hornshorns, Chimeschimes, Chimechime Strobesstrobes, Speakersspeakers, Speakerand speaker Strobesstrobes. A main feature withof these iswas the ability to sync using a System Sensor MDL Syncsync Modulemodule or the System Sensor Syncsync Protocolprotocol on a supported FACP. The 1st gen had a screw lock, the 2nd gen which came out in the early 2000s replaced the screw lock with a clip lock, and also sometime in the 2000s before 2006, the 3rd gen came out with multi-candela, and replaced the jumpers for the horn tone with dipDIP switches. Around the time of the 2nd and 3rd gen classicsSpectrAlerts being distributed, System Sensor was boughtacquired outfrom Pitway by Honeywell from Pitway. Around this time, System Sensor came out withintroduced the i3 line of smoke detectors, which came in 2 and 4 wire models. These devices have a feature which they will poll with the FACP when the Sensor is dirty, causing a trouble condition on the panel. In 2006, the classicsoriginal wereSpectrAlert series replaced with the SpectrAlert Advance. TheIt's Advance is thought to be the most popular alarm in America. Mainmain features waswere a mounting plate wiring design, allowing for easier installinstallation, more candela options, and an updated design. The Advance came in the same models as the Classic with the addition of mini horns, and Low-frequency sounders released circa 2014. In 2017, the System Sensor L-Series came out with the slogan "Less=More", new features included a new 3000hz tone, more candela options, lower power draw, and a new updated design. The LF devices released in 2018 and all advances expect for the outdoor models and mini horns were discontinued by February 2020. The new LF Devices had Temporal 4 for Carbon Monoxide (CO) operations. In Q3 2023, System Sensor is expected to release an LED L-Series, which have an LED Strobe for lower power draw, testing ports, a more compact design, and weatherproof models. {{citation needed|date=November 2022}}
