u Sleek modern aesthetics

u Multiple voltages (12 VDC or 24 VDC)

The Cooper Wheelock Exceder Series Horn Strobes
feature a sleek modern design that incorporates high
reliability and high-efficiency optics to minimize
current draw. The reduced current draw allows for a
greater number of devices on the two‑wire notification
appliance circuit. This, in combination with eight
candela options in one appliance, no tools needed for
changing settings, voltage test points, 12 V or 24 V DC
operation, the universal mounting base, and multiple
mounting options results in a reduced cost of
ownership.
These horn strobes provide eight candela settings and
three sound settings on each appliance. All the
switches to change these settings can be set without a
tool and are located behind the appliance to prevent
tampering.
The separate universal mounting base can be easily
mounted to five industry‑standard back box types.
They can also be pre‑wired to allow full testing of the
circuit wiring before the appliance is installed and the
surface finished. These wall‑mounting horn strobes
also feature voltage test points for taking readings
with a volt meter for troubleshooting or AHJ
inspection.

Installation/configuration notes

Compatibility

Horn:
These horns provide a selectable Continuous or
Code 3 horn tone when connected directly to the Fire
Alarm Control Panel (FACP). They can also provide a
synchronized Code 3 Horn tone when used in

conjunction with an FACP that incorporates the
Cooper Notification sync protocol, a Cooper
Notification Sync Module, or the Cooper Notification
Power Supply. The Horn Appliances can be field set
for High (HI), Medium (MED), or Low (LO) dBA sound
output.
Strobe:
These strobes 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 an
FACP that incorporates the Cooper Notification sync
protocol, a Cooper Notification Sync Module, or the
Cooper Notification Power Supply. They are designed
to flash at 1 flash per second minimum over their
Regulated Voltage Range.

Notice

Strobes are not designed to be used on coded
systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on
and off.

Mounting Considerations

The Universal Mounting Base supplied with each horn
strobe can be pre-wired. With the supplied Contact
Cover in place, the pre‑wired circuit can be checked
for continuity before the horn strobes are mounted.
The horn strobes snap onto the pre-installed Universal
Mounting Bases with the Contact Covers removed and
can be secured to the base with an optional securing
screw. The Universal Mounting Base flush mounts on
single-gang, double-gang, 4 in. square, 4 in. octal,

3.5 in. octal, and 100 mm European-type back boxes.

Wiring Considerations

The wiring terminals on the Universal Mounting Base
accept two appliance wires with diameters between
12 AWG and 18 AWG (ISO 4 mm2 and 0.75 mm2) at
each terminal.
