WARNING:  MAKE SURE THAT THE TOTAL AVERAGE CURRENT, TOTAL PEAK CURRENT AND TOTAL 

INRUSH CURRENT REQUIRED BY ALL APPLIANCES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM’S PRIMARY 
AND SECONDARY POWER SOURCES, APPLIANCE CIRCUITS, 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 average, peak or inrush currents:  Use Table 4 to determine the highest value of “Rated Average Current” 
for an individual strobe (across the expected operating voltage range of the strobe) to determine the highest value of “Rated Inrush 
Current” or “Rated Peak Current” (whichever is higher) of an individual strobe (across the expected voltage range of the strobe) then 
multiply these values by the total number of strobes; be sure to add the currents for any other appliances, including audible signaling 
appliances, powered by the same source and include any required safety factors. 
 
If the inrush current or peak current exceeds the power supplies’ inrush capacity, the output voltage provided by the power supplies 
may drop below the listed voltage range of the appliances connected to the supply and the voltage may not recover in some types of 
power supplies.  For example, an auxiliary power supply that lacks filtering at its output stage (either via lack of capacitance and/or 
lack of battery backup across the output) may exhibit this characteristic. 
 

CAUTION:  

Strobes are not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off.

 

 

NOTE

:  In addition to the inrush current shown in Table 4, the 75cd strobes also produce a brief inrush current that lasts about 15 

microseconds with a peak value of 2.0 Amps (2.8 Amps for FWR input). 
 
All models are UL Listed for indoor use with a temperature range of +32oF to + 120oF  (0oC to +49oC) and maximum humidity of 
85% RH.
