The Wheelock MT‑12/24‑R appliance is an audible alarmindicating device engineered to comply with temporal
pattern specifications without requiring an additional code
mechanism. It offers a selection of eight tone patterns and
two sound output levels. The temporal (Code 3) horn and
tone patterns meet ANSI/NFPA/ISO requirements for
standard emergency evacuation signaling. The extended
temperature range satisfies all severe-weather outdoor
applications.

For synchronization, use the SM or DSM modules with
these control panels and set the appliances and
synchronization module for 12 VDC operation.
2
The D7022 can be used in either 12 VDC or 24 VDC mode,
but the appliances and synchronization module must be set
for the same operating voltage as the control panel.
3
When used with a D7039 Multiplex Expansion Module, the
D7024 becomes an addressable fire alarm control panel
(FACP).
4
For synchronization, use the SM or DSM modules with
these control panels and set the appliances and
synchronization module for 24 VDC operation.
Note The retrofit strobe plates are available in 12 V
or 24 V models. Choose a model with the
correct voltage for the control panel being
used. Refer to Use as Combination Appliance.
Mounting Considerations
Outdoor or Severe Environment Applications
For an outdoor application or a severe environment
(NEMA 3R) application, these multi‑tone appliances in
combination with an IOB Indoor or Outdoor Back Box must
be mounted on a flat wall such that the wall covers the
entire rear surface of the back box. The back box must have
its drain holes pointed toward the ground. The knockouts
in the rear surface of the back box must remain intact.
The knockout hole on top of the back box is sized for a halfinch conduit and matching connector. A proper watertight
conduit fitting must be used.
Indoor Applications
For inside applications, mount these multi‑tone appliances
on the indicated back boxes for the indicated applications:

Mounted
Semi‑Flush or
Flush Mount
Double‑gang • • *
Four‑inch square • • *

IOB • •
SBB • •
* For semi‑flush applications use an ISP2 Surface Adapter.
All models have an attractive cover plate for a clean,
finished appearance.
Use as Combination Appliance
Where combination appliances are required, the MT
Electronic Appliances can be used with the
RSSP‑121575W‑FR (12 V, 15/75 cd), RSSP‑241575W‑FR
(24 V, 15/75 cd), RSSP‑24MCW‑FR (24 V, 15 cd, 30 cd,
75 cd, or 110 cd), or RSSP‑24MCWH‑FR (24 V, 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 multi‑tone appliances and retrofit strobe
plates are also compatible with the SBL2‑R Retrofit Device
Back Box.
Note These strobe units are not recommended for
use in coded or pulsed signaling circuits.
Wiring
The input terminals accept wires with diameters between
18 AWG (1.2 mm) and 12 AWG (2.3 mm).

mode is rated lower than in Continuous mode
because the time that the horn is off is
averaged into the sound output rating. While
the horn is producing a tone in Temporal
Code 3 mode, its sound pressure is the same
as the Continuous mode.
