Figure 2. 

 

 

1)  All strobe appliances have in-out wiring terminals that 

accepts 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 as shown in Figure 2.  
Strobe/Plate assembly has two red leads and two black 
leads for in-out wiring.  The polarity shown in the wiring 
diagrams is for the operation of the appliances.  The 
polarity is reversed by the FACP during supervision. 

Refer to Sync Module instruction sheets SM (P83123), DSM (P83177) 
or PS-12/24-8 (P83862) for additional information. 

 

 

MOUNTING OPTIONS: 

 

WARNING:  REMOVAL OF THE BLACK COVER AT THE BACK OF THE MOUNTING PLATE COULD RESULT IN SEVERE 

ELECTRIC SHOCK. 

 

CAUTION

:  

The following figures show the maximum number of field wires (conductors) that can enter the backbox used with 

each mounting option.  If these limits are exceeded, there may be insufficient space in the backbox to accommodate the field wires and 
stresses from the wires could damage the product. 

 

Although the limits shown for each mounting option comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC), Wheelock recommends use of 
the largest backbox option shown and the use of approved stranded field wires, whenever possible, to provide additional wiring room 
for easy installation and minimum stress on the product from wiring.
