INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SERIES RSS AND RSSP MULTI-HIGH-CANDELA STROBE APPLIANCES
(WALL MOUNT VERSIONS)
Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL:
Cooper Wheelock’s Series RSS and RSSP Multi-High-Candela Strobes can provide a non-synchronized strobe appliance when connected directly to a fire alarm
control panel (FACP), or provide a synchronized strobe appliance when used in conjunction with a Sync Module (SM), Dual Sync Module (DSM) or Wheelock’s
Power Supplies utilizing Wheelock sync protocol. The Series RSS and RSSP Multi-High-Candela Strobe Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971 (Signaling
Devices for the Hearing Impaired) for indoor Fire Protection Service. The Multi-High-Candela strobe provides two selectable light output intensities in one unit.
These strobes are listed for
wall mount and indoor use
only,
with the backboxes specified in these instructions (See Mounting Options). RSS models have an
integrated Strobe Mounting Plate (SMP) that can be mounted to a single-gang, double-gang, 4” backbox, 100mm European backbox or SHBB surface backbox. The
strobes use a xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a polycarbonate lens to provide maximum visibility and reliability for effective visible signaling.
All inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by the FACP.
NOTE
: Final acceptance is subject to Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
WARNING: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY
OF THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER APPLICATION, CANDELA SETTING,
INSTALLATION AND/OR OPERATION OF THESE PRODUCTS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY

When calculating the total currents use Table 2 to determine the highest value of RMS current for an individual 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 to include any required
safety factors.
NOTE:
The maximum number of strobes on a single notification appliance circuit shall not exceed 50.
CAUTION:
These notification appliances are UL Listed as “Regulated”. They are intended to be used with FACPs whose notification circuits are UL Listed as
“Regulated.” These appliances shall not be used on UL Listed “Special Application” notification circuits unless the appliances are identified to be compatible in the
installation instructions of the FACP or unless the FACP is identified to be compatible in this instruction manual.
