Description 

Model number 

Strobe, white 

DC-M9415W 

Strobe, red 

DC-M9415R 

 

The strobe includes a field-configurable switch for selecting the desired 
candela output and a field-configurable jumper for the strobe signal 
output. The candela output setting is locked in place and remains 
visible after final installation. 

This strobe features an enhanced synchronization circuit to comply 
with the latest requirements of UL 1971 

Signaling Devices for the 

Hearing Impaired

Synchronized operation requires that you connect the DC-M9415 
Series Wall Mount Strobe to a NAC output set for Synch Mode, or to a 
separate DC-M9410 Signal Synchronization Module. 

Installation 

Install and wire this device in accordance with applicable national and 
local codes, ordinances, and regulations. 

WARNING: 

Electrocution hazard. To avoid personal injury or death 

from electrocution, remove all sources of power and allow 10 minutes 
for stored energy to discharge before installing or removing equipment. 

 

Caution: 

Electrical supervision requires breaking the wire run at each 

terminal. Do not loop the signaling circuit field wires around the 
terminals. 

To install the strobe: 

1.  Remove the cover by depressing both tabs on the top of the unit 

with a small screwdriver and twisting slightly. 

2.  Slide the candela switch to the desired candela output (15, 30, 75, 

or 110 cd) by aligning it with the indicator located beside the 
switch. See Figure 1. 

3.  Set the strobe signal if required. See Figure 2. 

4.  Connect the strobe terminals to the signal circuit field wiring. You 

must observe polarity for the unit to function properly. See 
Figure 3. 

5.  Mount the unit onto a compatible electrical box, making sure not to 

over-tighten the mounting screws. 

6.  Replace the cover by aligning at the bottom, then snapping in at 

the top. 

7.  Test the unit for proper operation.
