WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TOTAL RMS CURRENT, TOTAL AVERAGE CURRENT AND TOTAL PEAK 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.
When calculating the total currents: Use Table 1 to determine the highest value of “RMS Current” for an individual AH-R-WP Appliance (across
the expected operating voltage range of the AH-R-WP Appliance) or use Table 1A to determine the highest value of “Rated Average Current” of an
individual AH-R-WP Appliance (across the expected voltage range of the AH-R-WP Appliance), then multiply these values by the total number of
AH-R-WP Appliances; be sure to add the currents for any other appliances, powered by the same source and include any required safety factors.
Audible Horn appliances are not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off.
WARNING: THE AUDIBLE HORN APPLIANCES MUST BE FIELD SET TO THE DESIRED TONE AND dBA SOUND OUTPUT LEVEL
BEFORE THEY ARE INSTALLED. THIS IS DONE BY PROPERLY INSERTING A JUMPER PLUG IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.

(Use needle nose pliers to pull and properly insert the jumper plug.)
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 2.
NOTE
: The Audible Horn must be set for code 3 (or March Time) when used with the sync module.
* Continuous horn operation without sync module.

1.
AH-R-WP Appliances have 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.
2.
Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuit supervision as shown in Figure 4. The polarity shown in the wiring diagrams is for the
operation of the appliances. The polarity is reversed by the FACP during supervision.
