MOUNTING PROCEDURES:
CAUTION
:
Check that the installed product will have sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and
conduit, especially if sheathed multiconductor cable or 3/4" conduit fittings are used.
1. RSS models have an integrated Strobe Mounting Plate (SMP).
2. The Strobe Mounting Plate (SMP) must be oriented correctly when it is mounted to the backbox. Turn the SMP so that the
arrow above the words “Horizontal Strobe” points to the top side of the SMP.
3. RSS models can be flush mounted to a standard single-gang backbox (Figure A), 4” or 100mm backbox (Figure B) or double-
gang backbox (Figure C). RSS models can also be surface mounted to a 4” or 100mm backbox (Figure B), double-gang backbox
(Figure C) or the SHBB (Figure D). RSSP models can be flush mounted to a 4” backbox (Figure E) or surface mounted to a
SBL-2 backbox (Figure F).
4. Mount the SMP first to the backbox. Next slide the Beauty Plate over the SMP until the 2 snaps of the Beauty Plate engage with
the SMP.
5. The Beauty Plate can be removed from the strobe assembly once engaged. First, gently insert a screwdriver into one of the slots
located on the top and bottom edges of the Beauty Plate. Second, gently pull away from the wall with the inserted screwdriver to
disengage the snap. Third, repeat the first and second steps for the second slot. Finally, gently lift the Beauty Plate away from
the SMP.
6. Mounting hardware for each mounting option is supplied.
7. Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
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.
RSS/RSSP-24110 strobe models 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 110 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 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. 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.
NOTE
:
NFPA
72/ANSI 117.1 conform to
ADAAG
Equivalent Facilitation Guidelines in using fewer, higher intensity strobes within
the same protected area.
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 immunity from electrical noise
(e.g. audio crosstalk).
ANY MATERIAL EXTRAPOLATED FROM THIS DOCUMENT OR FROM WHEELOCK MANUALS OR OTHER DOCUMENTS
DESCRIBING THE PRODUCT FOR USE IN PROMOTIONAL OR ADVERTISING CLAIMS, OR FOR ANY OTHER USE,
INCLUDING DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT'S APPLICATION, OPERATION, INSTALLATION AND TESTING IS USED AT
THE SOLE RISK OF THE USER AND WHEELOCK WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR SUCH USE.
