WARNING: CHECK THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM OUTPUT OF THE POWER SUPPLY AND STANDBY
BATTERY AND SUBTRACT THE VOLTAGE DROP FROM THE CIRCUIT WIRING RESISTANCE TO DETERMINE
THE APPLIED VOLTAGE TO THE STROBES.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE CURRENT REQUIRED BY ALL APPLIANCES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO
THE SYSTEM’S PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POWER SOURCES, NAC CIRCUITS, SM, DSM SYNC MODULES OR
WHEELOCK’S POWER SUPPLIES 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 current: use Table 1 to determine the highest value of “Rated Average Current” for an individual horn
(across the expected operating voltage range of the device); then multiply this value by the total number of devices; be sure to add the
current for any other devices powered by the same source and include any required safety factors.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT ALL FUSES USED ON SIGNALING CIRCUITS ARE RATED TO HANDLE THE
MAXIMUM INRUSH OR PEAK CURRENT FROM ALL APPLIANCES ON THOSE CIRCUITS. FAILURE TO DO THIS
MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER TO THE SIGNALING CIRCUIT AND THE FAILURE OF ALL APPLIANCES ON
THAT CIRCUIT TO OPERATE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

1) Appliances have in-out wiring terminals that accept two #12 to #18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at each screw terminal.
Strip leads 3/8 inches and connect to screw terminals.
2) Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuits to assure integrity of circuit supervision shown in Figure 1. The polarity shown
in the wiring diagrams is for the operation of the appliances. The polarity is reversed by the FACP during supervision.
