INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |
SERIES RSS AND RSSP MULTI-HIGH-CANDELA STROBE APPLIANCES
(WALL MOUNT VERSIONS)
Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL:
Wheelock’s Series RSS and RSSP Multi-High-Candela Strobes can provide a non-synchronized strobe appliance when connected directly to a fire alarm control panel (FACP), or provide a synchronized strobe appliance when used in conjunction with a Sync Module (SM), Dual Sync Module (DSM) or Wheelock’s Power Supplies utilizing Wheelock sync protocol. The Series RSS and RSSP Multi-High-Candela Strobe Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971 (Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired) for indoor Fire Protection Service. The Multi-High-Candela strobe provides two selectable light output intensities in one unit. These strobes are listed for wall mount and indoor use only, with the backboxes specified in these instructions (See Mounting Options). RSS models have an integrated Strobe Mounting Plate (SMP) that can be mounted to a single-gang, double-gang, 4” backbox, 100mm European backbox or SHBB surface backbox. The strobes use a xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a polycarbonate lens to provide maximum visibility and reliability for effective visible signaling. All inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by the FACP.
NOTE: Final acceptance is subject to Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
WARNING: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER APPLICATION, CANDELA SETTING, INSTALLATION AND/OR OPERATION OF THESE PRODUCTS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

NOTES:
1.Strobes will produce 1 flash per second over the "Regulated Voltage" range.
2.These strobes meet the required light distribution patterns defined in UL 1971.
3.All models are listed by UL for indoor use with a temperature range of +32°F to +120°F (0°C to +49°C) and maximum humidity of 93% ± 2% RH. The effect of shipping and storage temperatures shall not adversely affect the performance of the appliance when it is stored in the original cartons and is not subjected to misuse or abuse.
WARNING: CANDELA SETTING WILL DETERMINE THE CURRENT DRAW OF THE PRODUCT.

When calculating the total currents use Table 2 to determine the highest value of RMS current for an individual strobe, then multiply these values by the total number of strobes. Be sure to add the currents for any other appliances, including audible signaling appliances powered by the same source, and to include any required safety factors.
NOTE: The maximum number of strobes on a single notification appliance circuit shall not exceed 50.
CAUTION: These notification appliances are UL Listed as “Regulated”. They are intended to be used with FACPs whose notification circuits are UL Listed as “Regulated.” These appliances shall not be used on UL Listed “Special Application” notification circuits unless the appliances are identified to be compatible in the installation instructions of the FACP or unless the FACP is identified to be compatible in this instruction manual.

WARNING: THESE APPLIANCES WERE TESTED TO THE REGULATED VOLTAGE LIMITS OF 16.0-33.0 VOLTS FOR 24V MODELS USING FILTERED DC OR UNFILTERED FULL-WAVE-RECTIFIED VOLTAGE. DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE OUTSIDE OF THIS RANGE.
WARNING: CHECK THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM OUTPUT OF THE POWER SUPPLY AND STANDBY BATTERY AND SUBTRACT THE VOLTAGE DROP FROM THE CIRCUIT WIRING RESISTANCE TO DETERMINE THE APPPLIED VOLTAGE TO THE STROBES. THE MAXIMUM WIRE IMPEDANCE BETWEEN STROBES SHALL NOT EXCEED 35 OHMS.
CAUTION: Strobes are not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TOTAL RMS CURRENT REQUIRED BY ALL APPLIANCES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM’S PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POWER SOURCES, NOTIFICATION APPLICIANCE CIRCUITS, SM, DSM SYNC MODULES, OR WHEELOCK POWER SUPPLIES DOES NOT EXCEED THE POWER SOURCES’ RATED CAPACITY OR THE CURRENT RATINGS OF ANY FUSES ON THE CIRCUITS TO WHICH THESE APPLIANCES ARE WIRED. OVERLOADING POWER SOURCES OR EXCEEDING FUSE RATINGS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER AND FAILURE TO ALERT OCCUPANTS DURING AN EMERGENCY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
WIRING AND MOUNTING INFORMATION:
CAUTION: The following figures (A-F) show the maximum number of field wires (conductors) that can enter the backbox used with each mounting option. If these limits are exceeded, there may be insufficient space in the backbox to accommodate the field wires and stresses from the wires could damage the product.
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.
Although the limits shown for each mounting option comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC), Wheelock recommends use of the largest backbox option shown and the use of approved stranded field wires, whenever possible, to provide additional wiring room for easy installation and minimum stress on the product from wiring.
