System Sensor was founded in 1984 as a division of [[BRK Brands|BRK]] responsible for the 800 series system smoke detectors. In 1987, System Sensor began producing the Multi-Alert sounders, which were multi-tone devices that came in different variants such as a horn/strobe. The PA400 was a mini horn released around this time. System Sensor also released the 400 series detectors around this time.

Between 1990 and 1991, the System Sensor brand was moved to Pittway Corporation. System Sensor later updated their notification appliances with ADA-complaint strobes. Starting in 1997, the notification appliances was replaced with the SpectrAlert series. In the 2000’s, System Sensor was acquired from Pittway by Honeywell International. Around this time, System Sensor introduced the i3 line of smoke detectors. In 2006, the original SpectrAlert series were replaced with the SpectrAlert Advance. In 2017, the System Sensor L-Series was released. All SpectrAlert Advance products, expect for the outdoor models and mini horns, were discontinued by February 2020. In October of 2023, System Sensor announced the LED L series. The original L Series is planned to be discontinued In Late 2023. Some L-Series low mid-frequency sounders have been recalled on March 14, 2024.
