These Wheelock horns are UL Listed for indoor
wall‑mount applications. They provide a choice of
continuous horn tone or temporal (Code 3) horn tone
with three selectable sound output (dBA) settings for
each tone. The temporal tone can be synchronized by
using an SM (single) or DSM (dual) Synchronization
Module or a compatible control panel. These horns
can also be used on coded systems where the applied
voltage is cycled on and off.

For synchronization, use the SM or DSM
Synchronization Modules. The synchronization module
must be set for 24 VDC operation. When used, the
D7022 must be set for 24 VDC operation.

When used with a D7039 Multiplex Expansion
Module, the FPD-7024 and D7024 become
addressable fire alarm control panels (FACPs).

box, the HS24 Series Horns are only UL Listed for
indoor applications.
Use as Combination Appliance
Where combination appliances are required, the HS
Horns can be used with the RSSP‑241575W‑FR
(15/75 cd), RSSP‑24MCW‑FR (15 cd, 30 cd, 75 cd, or
110 cd), or RSSP‑24MCWH‑FR (135 cd or 185 cd)
Retrofit Strobe Plates that are designed to meet or
exceed the latest requirements of NFPA 72,
ANSI 117.0 and UL 1971. The horns and retrofit strobe
plates are also compatible with the SBL2‑R Retrofit
Device Back Box.
Wiring
The input terminals accept wires with diameters
between 18 AWG and 12 AWG (ISO 0.75 mm2 and
4 mm2).

Notice
The sound output for the Temporal (Code 3)
mode is rated lower than in Continuous mode
because the time that the horn is off is averaged
into the sound output rating. When the horn
produces a tone in Temporal mode, its sound
pressure is the same as the Continuous mode.
