Figure 2:
•
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.
•
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 instruction sheets for SM (P83123), DSM (P83177) or Wheelock
power supplies for additional information.
1.
This RSS model can be flush mounted to a standard single-gang backbox (Figure A), 4” or 100mm backbox (Figure B) or double-gang backbox (Figure C). It can
also be surface mounted to a 4” or 100mm backbox (Figure B), double-gang backbox (Figure C) or the SHBB (Figure D). The RSSP model can be flush mounted
to a 4” backbox (Figure E) or surface mounted to a SBL-2 backbox (Figure F). Mounting hardware for each mounting option is supplied.
2.
Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product. 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.
3.
When terminating field wires, do not use more lead length than required. Excess lead length could result in insufficient wiring space for the appliance.
4.
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.
5.
This RSS model has an integrated Strobe Mounting Plate (SMP) which 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.
6.
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.
7.
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.
WARNING: REMOVAL OF THE BLACK COVER AT THE BACK OF THE MOUNTING PLATE COULD RESULT IN SEVERE ELECTRIC
SHOCK.
WARNING: THE RSS STROBE APPLIANCE IS A "FIRE ALARM DEVICE - DO NOT PAINT."
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.
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 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.
IMPORTANT:

INSTALLATION, FINAL CHECKOUT, AND PERIODIC TESTING OF NOTIFICATION APPLIANCES.
