CAUTION
:
Always operate audio amplifiers and speakers within their specified ratings. Excessive input may distort sound
quality and may damage audio equipment. Do not 130% of speaker input voltage per UL 1480. Improper input voltage can
damage speaker. If distortion is heard, check for clipping of the audio appliance with an oscilloscope and reduce the amplifier input
level or gain level to eliminate any clipping.
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.
High Intensity strobe models 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 WHEELOCK HIGH INTENSITY 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.
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, WHEELOCK STRONGLY RECOMMENDS 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. WHEELOCK ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE INTENSITY
AND COMPOSITE FLASH RATE OF INSTALLED STROBES COMPLY WITH LEVELS ESTABLISHED BY APPLICABLE
LAWS, STANDARDS, REGULATIONS, CODES AND GUIDELINES.
NOTE
:
NFPA 72/ANSI 117.1 conform to ADAAG Equivalent Facilitation Guidelines in using fewer, higher intensity strobes within
the same protected area.
If this appliance is required to produce a distinctive three-pulse Temporal Pattern Fire Alarm Evacuation Signal (for total evacuation)
in accordance with NFPA 72, 1999 Edition, the appliance must be used with a fire alarm control unit that can generate the temporal
pattern signal. Refer to manufacturer’s installation manual for details.
CAUTION
:
Check the installation instructions of the manufacturers of other equipment used in the system for any guidelines or
restrictions on wiring and/or locating Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC) and notification appliances. Some system
communication circuits and/or audio circuits, for example, may require special precautions to assure electrical noise immunity (e.g.
audio crosstalk).
NOTE
:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 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.
ANY MATERIAL EXTRAPOLATED FROM THIS DOCUMENT OR FROM WHEELOCK MANUALS OR OTHER
