u 24 VDC with a wide UL regulated voltage range
using filtered VDC or unfiltered VRMS input
The Wheelock S8‑24MCCH‑FW High‑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 field‑selectable (115 cd or 177 cd)
high‑candela 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 speakers are compatible with Wheelock
SAFEPATH4 Facility Communication Systems and
Bosch Voice Evacuation Systems.
Mounting Considerations
The S8‑24MCCH‑FW 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.
