u 24 VDC with a wide UL regulated voltage range
using filtered VDC or unfiltered VRMS input
The Wheelock S8‑24MCC‑FW Multi‑candela Speaker
Strobe provides high audible output with clear
audibility at either of its field‑selectable voltages
(25 VRMS or 70 VRMS) and at all of its field‑selectable
powers (1/8 W, 1/4 W, 1/2 W, 1 W, 2 W, 4 W, or 8 W).
With its multi‑candela (15 cd, 30 cd, 75 cd, or 95 cd)
strobe it meets the needs of the life safety industry for
effective emergency voice communications, tone
signaling, and visible signaling to alert the hearing
impaired.
The speakers have a 12‑inch round metal grill and a
molded, flame‑retardant core. The strobes produce
1 flash/sec over the regulated voltage range and can
be synchronized using the SM or DSM Synchronization
Modules.

Installation/configuration notes
Compatibility Information
These speaker strobes are compatible with Wheelock
SAFEPATH4 Facility Communication Systems and
Bosch Voice Evacuation Systems.
Mounting Considerations
The speaker strobe is designed to mount flush in a
hung tile ceiling. The CBB‑8 Circular Back Box or its
equivalent is required to meet UL1480 requirements.
When the speaker and back box cannot be installed
directly through a ceiling tile, a support bridge (SBB‑8
or equivalent) must be used.

Notice
Do not use these speaker strobes in hazardous
locations as defined by the National Electrical
Code (NEC) and by NFPA. Do not expose these
speaker strobes to rain or moisture. Do not use
these speaker strobes on coded systems in which
the applied voltage is cycled on and off.
Wiring Considerations
The terminal block accepts two 12 AWG (2.3 mm) to
18 AWG (1.2 mm) stranded wires at each screw
terminal.
