General Description
The National Fire Protection Association has published
standards and recommended practices for the installation
and use of the listed appliances. It is recommended that the
installer be familiar with these requirements, with local
codes, and any special requirements of the local fire au-
thority having jurisdiction.
The RP12/24ADA series retroplates are ADA compliant (75
and 110 cd models) signaling devices and designed for use
in existing or new installations. They are a low-cost alterna-
tive to replacing a sounder with a new sounder/strobe.
This signaling strobe is intended to be connected to the
alarm indicating circuit of a UL-listed fire alarm control

panel. It is compatible with DC line supervision. Models
RP2415ADA, RP2475ADA, RP24110ADA, and
RP241575ADA require 24 volt panels. Models RP1215ADA
and RP121575ADA require 12 volt panels. Panels may have
full-wave rectified, unfiltered power supplies. The strobes
produce one flash per second (nominal) with continuous
nominal voltage applied.
The rated light output of the RP2415ADA, RP1215ADA,
RP241575ADA, and RP121575ADA is 15 cd (see Figure 1).
The rated light output of the RP2475ADA is 75 cd (please
see Figure 1).
The rated light output of the RP24110ADA is 110 cd (please
see Figure 1).
NOTE:
The light output at 0
°
viewing angle for RP12/
241575ADA models is 75 cd (see Figure 1).
