Architects and Engineers Specifications
The notification appliances shall be Wheelock Series AS Audible Strobe appliances and Series AH Audible appliances or approved
equals. The Series AS Audible be listed for UL Standard 1971 (Emergency Devices for the Hearing-Impaired) for Indoor Fire Protection
Service. The Series AH Audible shall be UL Listed under Standard 464 (Fire Protective Signaling). Both shall meet the requirements
of FCC Part 15 Class B. All inputs shall be compatible with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm
Control Panel (FACP).
The audible portion of the appliance shall have a minimum of three (3) field selectable settings for dBA levels and shall have a choice
of continuous or temporal (Code 3) audible outputs.
The strobe portion of the appliance shall produce a flash rate of one (1) flash per second over the Regulated Voltage Range and
shall incorporate a Xenon flashtube enclosed in a rugged Lexan® lens. The Series AS shall be of low current design. Where Multi-
Candela appliances are specified, the strobe intensity shall have field selectable settings and shall be rated per UL Standard 1971 at
15/30/75/110 or 135/185 candela for wall mount and 15/30/75/95 or 115/177 candela for ceiling mount. The selector switch for selecting
the candela shall be tamper resistant. The 1575 candela strobe shall be specified when 15 candela UL Standard 1971 Listing with 75
candela on-axis is required (e.g. ADA compliance).
When synchronization is required, the appliance shall be compatible with Wheelock’s SM, DSM Sync Modules or Wheelock PS-24-8MC
Power Supplies with built-in Patented Sync Protocol. The strobes shall not drift out of synchronization at any time during operation.
If the sync module or Power Supply fails to operate, (i.e., contacts remain closed), the strobe shall revert to a non-synchronized flash-
rate. The appliance shall also be designed so that the audible signal may be silenced while maintaining strobe activation when used
with Wheelock synchronization.
The Series AS Audible Strobe and Series AH Audible shall incorporate a Patented Universal Mounting Plate that shall allow mounting
to a single-gang, double-gang, 4-inch square, 100mm European type backboxes, or the SHBB Surface Backbox. If required, an NATP
(Notification Appliance Trimplate) shall be provided.
All notification appliances shall be backward compatible.
