Security dealers know that when it comes to alerts—visual clarity and audible deterrence are key. Whether you’re reinforcing access control protocols, warning of unauthorized exit attempts, or drawing attention to environmental alerts, the STI Select-Alert series offers a compact, flexible, and effective solution. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the STI Select-Alert Mini Alarm and Strobe Controllers provide visual and audible signaling to deter, alert, or communicate clearly—without adding complexity to your install.
For dealers and integrators, it’s a go-to product for enhancing life safety, loss prevention, and code compliance across a range of verticals.

Use Cases & Dealer Benefits
The STI Select-Alert line delivers plug-and-play versatility that supports a wide variety of dealer applications:
Access Control Compliance
These units are ideal for emergency exit doors or delayed egress applications. Their bright strobes and loud tones help meet IBC/IFC requirements and draw attention to unauthorized use—while reducing false alarms and ensuring system accountability.
Environmental Monitoring
Pair the Select-Alert with sensors for temperature, moisture, or chemical levels. When thresholds are crossed, it provides clear audible and visual feedback—especially valuable in labs, data centers, and industrial settings.
Retail & Loss Prevention
Deploy at storage rooms, fire exits, or employee-only areas to immediately notify staff of door-open events or security breaches. The Select-Alert acts as a first-level deterrent that helps prevent incidents before they escalate.
Intrusion Alerting
Mount in restricted zones or after-hours areas to reinforce boundaries and enhance site security. The alarm can be set to sound and flash for a defined time, or continuously until reset.
Dealer Advantages
-
Simplifies compliance with built-in signaling
-
Fast setup using internal dip switches
-
Eliminates the need for separate logic controllers or relay boards
-
Works across multiple vertical markets
-
Improves ROI through versatility and reliability
Why It’s More Than Just an Indicator—It’s a Mini Controller
While many strobes and sirens require external logic to trigger alerts, the STI Select-Alert is a self-contained controller that offers intelligent behavior right out of the box:
-
Built-in Activation Logic: It monitors external trigger inputs (like door contacts or tamper switches) and automatically activates based on conditions you set.
-
Customizable Behavior: DIP switches allow techs to adjust tone, volume, strobe pattern, and timing—no need for an external timer or relay board.
-
Form C Relay Output: When triggered, the internal logic can activate another device like a panel or secondary alert—turning this unit into a decision-making component, not just a passive alert.
-
Power Smart: It manages current draw and operates on 12–24 VDC or battery power while routing energy intelligently to the sounder, strobe, and relay.
This makes it more than just a notification device. The STI Select-Alert controls its own behavior and output—and in many applications, can take the place of a dedicated controller.
