•
AS-MC-C Appliance has in-out wiring
terminals that accepts two #12 to #18
American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at
each screw terminal. Strip leads 3/8”
inches for connection to screw terminals.
•
Break all in-out wire runs on supervised
circuit supervision as shown in Figure 6.
The polarity shown in the wiring diagrams
is for the operation of the appliances. The
polarity is reversed by the FACP during
supervision.
MOUNTING PROCEDURES:
1.
This model can be flush mounted to a standard single-gang backbox (Figure A), 4” backbox (Figure B) or double-gang backbox (Figure C). They
can also be surface mounted to a 4” or 100mm backbox (Figure B), a double-gang backbox (Figure C) or a SHBBS surface backbox (Figure D).
Mounting hardware for each mounting option is supplied. For proper mounting, be sure to use the mounting screws supplied with the unit.
2.
The Universal Mounting Plate (UMP) must be oriented correctly when it is mounted to the backbox. Turn the UMP so that the arrow above the
words “Horizontal Strobe” points to the top side of the UMP.
3.
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.
4.
When terminating field wires, do not use more lead length than required. Excess lead length could result in insufficient wiring space for the
signaling appliance. 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.
Thread the 4 field wires through the opening of the UMP. Mount the UMP to backbox.
6.
Connect 4 field wires to the AS-MC-C terminal block (polarity must be observed). Bend the 4 field wires up 90
o
at the connection to the terminal
block.
7.
Carefully push the 4 field wires into the backbox through the opening of the UMP by hand.
8.
Hook the 2 slots on the inside wall of the AS-MC-C onto the 2 tabs of the UMP and screw the AS-MC-C to the UMP using the #6-20 screw
supplied.
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, IT IS STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED 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. IT IS ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE INTENSITY
AND COMPOSITE FLASH RATE OF INSTALLED STROBES COMPLY WITH LEVELS ESTABLISHED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, STANDARDS,
REGULATIONS, CODES AND GUIDELINES.
The 15/30/75/95cd settings are Listed for use in sleeping or non-sleeping areas when installed in accordance with appropriate NFPA Standards and the
AHJ.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital appliance, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna, 2) Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver, 3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected, and 4) Consult the
dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
