u Sleek modern aesthetics
u Multiple voltages (12 VDC or 24 VDC)
u Voltage test points
The Cooper Wheelock Exceder Series 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 strobes provide eight candela settings. 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 strobes also 
feature voltage test points for taking readings with a 
volt meter for troubleshooting or AHJ inspection.

Compatibility
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.

Mounting Considerations
The Universal Mounting Base supplied with each 
strobe can be pre-wired. With the supplied Contact 
Cover in place, the pre‑wired circuit can be checked 
for continuity before the strobes are mounted. The 
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 singlegang, 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.
