CHIME

STROBE

 

1.

 

The chime is factory set in single stroke (SS) mode.  It can be changed 
to vibrating (VIB) mode before wiring the appliance with the 
provided jumper.  Refer to PC Board layout shown in Figure 4.  (SS = 
single stroke, VIB = vibrating) 

 SINGLE 

STROKE 

OPERATION:  The minimum input pulse duration 

must be at least 160 milliseconds "on" time and 160 milliseconds 
"off" time.  The chime will only operate once each time it is pulsed.  
This mode is recommended for coded systems. 

 VIBRATING 

OPERATION:  Continuous input voltage must be 

applied to the chime to activate the chime at one second intervals. 

 

2.

 

The volume and tone controls have been adjusted at the factory to 
insure maximum dBA output.  However, once the mode is selected, 
the installer may want to fine tune the appliance to better suit the 
application.

        NOTE:  

The CH70-24MCWH comes pre-set at 185cd. 

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.  IMPROPER SETTING OF THE CANDELA SELECT SWITCH, MAY 
RESULT IN OPERATION AT THE WRONG CANDELA, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU 
AND/OR OTHERS.

 

 

MOUNTING PROCEDURES: 

 

1.

 

This model can be flush mounted to a 4” square by 2-1/8” deep backbox with a 4” square 1-1/2” extension ring (Figure A). surface mounted to a Surface Backbox 
(Figure B).  Mounting hardware for each mounting option is supplied. 

2.

 

Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product.  Do not pass additional wires (used for other 
than the signaling appliance) through the backbox.  Such additional wires could result in insufficient wiring space for the signaling appliance. 

3.

 

When terminating field wires, do not use more lead length than required.  Excess lead length could result in insufficient wiring space for the signaling appliance. 

4.

 

Use care and proper techniques to position the field wires in the backbox so that they use minimum space and produce minimum stress on the product.  This is 
especially important for stiff, heavy gauge wires and wires with thick insulation or sheathing. 

5.

 

CH70-24MCWH model has an integrated mounting plate which must be oriented correctly when it is mounted to the backbox.  Turn the mounting plate so that the 
arrow above the words “Horizontal Strobe” or “Top” points to the top side of the mounting plate 

6.

 

To move selector switch, insert screwdriver into slot shown on the bottom side of the strobe.  See Figure 5. 

7.

 

Mount the chime mounting plate to the backbox with the cone protector on.  After the chime mounting plate is attached to the backbox, remove the cone protector 
before installing the grille.   Next, attach the grille to the chime mounting plate and attach with (2) screws. 

WARNING:  THE CHIME STROBE APPLIANCE IS A "FIRE ALARM DEVICE - DO NOT PAINT."

 

WARNING:  WHEN INSTALLING STROBES IN AN OPEN OFFICE OR OTHER AREAS CONTAINING PARTITIONS OR OTHER VIEWING 

OBSTRUCTIONS, SPECIAL ATTENTION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE LOCATION OF THE STROBES SO THAT THEIR OPERATING EFFECT CAN BE 
SEEN BY ALL INTENDED VIEWERS, WITH THE INTENSITY, NUMBER, AND TYPE OF STROBES BEING SUFFICIENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE 
INTENDED VIEWER IS ALERTED BY PROPER ILLUMINATION, REGARDLESS OF THE VIEWER'S ORIENTATION.  FAILURE TO DO SO COULD 
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS. 

 

The 135/185 cd Settings are Listed for use in sleeping or non-sleeping areas when installed in accordance with appropriate NFPA Standards and the Authority Having 
Jurisdiction. 

 

WARNING:  INSTALLATION OF WHEELOCK 135/185 CANDELA STROBE PRODUCTS IN SLEEPING AREAS SHOULD BE WALL MOUNTED AT 

LEAST 24" BELOW THE CEILING AS FOLLOWS:  (1) THE ON-AXIS (DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF LENS) LIGHT OUTPUT SHOULD BE DIRECTED AT THE 
EYE-LIDS OF THE SLEEPING PERSON, E.G. PILLOW END OF BED, BED HEAD; (2) NO PART OF THE BED SHALL BE MORE THAN SIXTEEN (16) FEET 
FROM THE STROBE NOTIFICATION APPLIANCE.  INSTALLERS MUST ADVISE OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF BUILDINGS WITH SLEEPING 
OCCUPANTS, E.G. HOTELS AND MOTELS, TO WARN GUESTS, RESIDENTS AND EMPLOYEES TO NOT MOVE THE BED LOCATION TO A POSITION 
VIOLATING POINTS (1) AND (2) ABOVE OR SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR LOSS OF LIFE MAY OCCUR DURING A FIRE EMERGENCY. 

WARNING:  A SMALL POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT THE USE OF MULTIPLE STROBES WITHIN A PERSON'S FIELD OF VIEW, UNDER CERTAIN 

CIRCUMSTANCES, MIGHT INDUCE A PHOTO-SENSITIVE RESPONSE IN PERSONS WITH EPILEPSY.  STROBE REFLECTIONS IN A GLASS OR 
MIRRORED SURFACE MIGHT ALSO INDUCE SUCH A RESPONSE.  TO MINIMIZE THIS POSSIBLE HAZARD, WHEELOCK STRONGLY RECOMMENDS
