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 ensure 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.
Move the selector switch to the desired candela setting. The setting is indicated by a pointer and can be seen on the bottom side of the lens. See Figures 3
and 4 below.
7.
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.
8.
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.

NOTE
: The RSS/RSSP Multi-High-Candela come pre-set at 185cd.
WARNING: THE CANDELA SELECT SWITCH MUST BE FIELD SET TO THE REQUIRED CANDELA INTENSITY BEFORE
INSTALLATION. WHEN CHANGING THE SETTING OF THE CANDELA SELECT SWITCH, MAKE CERTAIN THAT IT “CLICKS” IN PLACE.
AFTER CHANGING THE CANDELA SETTING, THE APPLIANCE MUST BE RETESTED TO VERIFY PROPER OPERATION. IMPROPER
SETTING OF THE CANDELA SELECT SWITCH, MAY RESULT IN OPERATION AT THE WRONG CANDELA, WHICH COULD RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
WARNING: THE RSS AND RSSP 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.
The 135/185cd settings 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 COOPOER WHEELOCK 135/185 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.
