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 SETTINGS:
To set the candela, slide the switch to the desired setting. The setting is indicated by the pointer and label visible on the bottom side of the lens.

Factory setting is on Medium dB, Code 3 (or March Time) and 15 candela.
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.
WARNING: THE AUDIBLE STROBE APPLIANCES MUST BE FIELD SET TO THE DESIRED TONE AND dBA SOUND OUTPUT LEVEL
BEFORE THEY ARE INSTALLED.
THIS IS DONE BY PROPERLY INSERTING JUMPER PLUGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.

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-MC must be set for Code 3 (or March Time) when used with a synchronized notification appliance circuit (NAC).
