SERIES RSSR STROBE APPLIANCES 

 

Use this product according to this instruction manual.  Please keep this instruction manual for future reference. 

 

GENERAL: 

Wheelock’s Series RSSR 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 PS-12/24-8 Power Supply with 
patented sync protocol.  The RSSR Strobe appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1638 for Emergency Devices.  The RSSR-2415C, RSSR-2475C and RSSR-
24110C strobes are intended for 

ceiling mount only

 and the RSSR-2415W, RSSR-2475W and RSSR-24110W strobes are intended for 

wall mount

 

only,

 with the 

backboxes specified in these instructions (See Mounting Options).  The RSSR 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 strobe uses 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 an FACP. 

WARNING:  PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.  FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING 

INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER APPLICATION, INSTALLATION AND/OR OPERATION OF 
THESE PRODUCTS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR 
DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

When calculating the total currents use Table 3 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.
