WARNING: MULTITONE STROBE APPLIANCES ARE NOT TO BE USED AS AN INDOOR VISUAL
EVACUATION APPLIANCE OR FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED.
WARNING: IF MULTITONE STROBE APPLIANCES ARE OPERATED WITHIN 15 INCHES OF A PERSON'S EAR,
THEY CAN PRODUCE A SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL THAT EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM 120 dBA PERMITTED BY
ADA AND OSHA RULES. EXPOSURE TO SUCH SOUND LEVELS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO A PERSON'S
HEARING.
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
THAT THE STROBES INSTALLED SHOULD NOT PRESENT A COMPOSITE FLASH RATE IN THE FIELD OF VIEW
WHICH EXCEEDS FIVE (5) Hz AT THE OPERATING VOLTAGE OF THE STROBES (SEE TABLE 4). WHEELOCK
ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE INTENSITY AND COMPOSITE FLASH RATE OF INSTALLED
STROBES COMPLY WITH LEVELS ESTABLISHED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, STANDARDS, REGULATIONS,
CODES AND GUIDELINES.
WARNING: THE MULTITONE STROBE APPLIANCES MUST BE FIELD SET TO THE DESIRED dBA SOUND
OUTPUT LEVEL AND ALARM TONE BEFORE THEY ARE INSTALLED. THIS IS DONE BY PROPERLY
INSERTING A JUMPER PLUG AND ADJUSTING A FOUR POSITION SWITCH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS. INCORRECT SETTINGS WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER PERFORMANCE AND MAY DAMAGE
THE PRODUCT.
CAUTION: Check the installation instructions of the manufacturers of other equipment
used in the system for any guidelines or restrictions on wiring and/or locating
Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC) and notification appliances. Some system
communication circuits and/or audio circuits, for example, may require special precautions
to assure electrical noise immunity (e.g. audio crosstalk).
These appliances can produce a distinctive three pulse Temporal Pattern Fire Alarm Evacuation Signal (for total evacuation) in
accordance with NFPA 72, 1993 Edition.
