THESE APPLIANCES WERE TESTED TO THE VOLTAGE LIMITS OF 16.0-33.0 VOLTS FOR 24V MODELS USING FILTERED DC OR UNFILTERED
FULL-WAVE-RECTIFIED VOLTAGE. DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE OUTSIDE OF THIS RANGE.
Note: Refer to the installation instructions for the appropriate NAC to find the maximum allowed voltage drop. Use this value along with the current draw
for the appliance to determine the allowable wire resistance. The maximum wire resistance between strobes shall not exceed 35 ohms.
CANDELA SETTING WILL DETERMINE THE CURRENT DRAW OF THE PRODUCT.
Note: These notification appliances are UL Listed as “Special Application”. They are intended to be used only with Siemens notification appliance
circuits.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TOTAL RMS CURRENT REQUIRED BY ALL APPLIANCES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM’S
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POWER SOURCES DO NOT EXCEED THE POWER SOURCES’ RATED CAPACITY OR THE CURRENT RATINGS
OF ANY FUSES ON THE CIRCUITS TO WHICH THESE APPLIANCES ARE WIRED. OVERLOADING POWER SOURCES OR EXCEEDING FUSE
RATINGS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER AND FAILURE TO ALERT OCCUPANTS DURING AN EMERGENCY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
CANDELA AND SOUND OUTPUT (SPL) SETTINGS:
To set the candela, slide the switch to the desired setting. The setting in indicated by the pointer and label visible on the bottom of the lens.

Factory setting is on medium dB and Code 3 (or March Time). AS-HMC comes preset at 185cd. AS-HMC-C comes preset at 177cd.
WARNING: THE CANDELA SELECT SWITCH MUST BE FIELD SET TO THE REQUIRED CANDELA INTENSITY BEFORE INSTALLATION.
WHEN CHANGING THE SETTING OF THE CANDELA SELECT SWITCH, MAKE CERTAIN THAT IT “CLICKS” IN PLACE. AFTER CHANGING THE
CANDELA SETTING, THE APPLIANCE MUST BE RETESTED TO VERIFY PROPER OPERATION.

CODE 3
TURN PLUG 90°
No jumper plug is needed for continuous horn setting.
However, it is recommended that the jumper plug be
retained in the unit for future use (if needed) as shown in
Figure 4.
NOTE:
The AS-WP must be set for Code 3 (or March Time) when used on synchronized notification appliance circuit (NAC).
WIRING AND MOUNTING INFORMATION:
CAUTION:
The following figure shows the maximum number of field wires (conductors) that can enter the backbox used with each mounting option.
If these limits are exceeded, there may be insufficient space in the backbox to accommodate the field wires and stresses from the wires could damage
the product. Check that the installed product will have sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and conduit, especially if
sheathed multiconductor cable is used.

•
The AS-WP Appliance has in-out wiring terminals
that accepts two #12 to #18 American Wire Gauge
(AWG) wires at each screw terminal. Strip leads
3/8” inches for connection to screw terminals.
•
Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuit
supervision as shown in Figure 6. The polarity
shown in the wiring diagrams is for the operation of
the appliances. The polarity is reversed by the
FACP during supervision.
IF THE AS-WP HOUSING DOES NOT PROPERLY CONTACT THE GASKET ON THE WPBBS BACKBOX, MOISTURE MAY SEEP INTO THE AS-
WP WHEN USED IN A OUTDOOR APPLICATION AND THIS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT.
