MOUNTING PROCEDURES:
CAUTION
:
Check that the installed product will have sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and
conduit, especially if sheathed multiconductor cable or 3/4" conduit fittings are used.
1. RSS models have an integrated Strobe Mounting Plate (SMP).
2. RSS models can be flush mounted to a standard single-gang backbox (Figure A), 4” or 100mm backbox (Figure B) or double-
gang backbox (Figure C). RSS models can also be surface mounted to a 4” or 100mm backbox (Figure B), double-gang
backbox (Figure C) or the SHBB (Figure D).
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Mounting hardware for each mounting option is supplied.
6. Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. The effect of shipping and storage temperatures do not adversely affect the performance of the appliances when stored in the
original cartons and are not subjected to misuse.
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.
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.
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 immunity from electrical noise
(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 DOCUMENTS
DESCRIBING THE PRODUCT FOR USE IN PROMOTIONAL OR ADVERTISING CLAIMS, OR FOR ANY OTHER USE,
INCLUDING DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT'S APPLICATION, OPERATION, INSTALLATION AND TESTING IS USED AT
THE SOLE RISK OF THE USER AND WHEELOCK WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR SUCH USE.
