Series HS Horn and Horn Strobe Appliances

SERIES HS4

Description Features

The Series HS4 Horn Strobe and HS Horn Appliances
are an ideal choice for retrofit applications as well as
new installations. They satisfy virtually all requirements
for indoor, wall mount applications.

The Series HS Horn and the horn portion of the Series
HS4 include a selectable continuous horn tone or
temporal pattern (Code 3) with three selectable dBA
settings for each tone.

Strobe options include 1575cd or the Wheelock patented
MCW Multi-Candela strobe with field selectable candela
settings of 15/30/75/110cd or the high intensity MCWH
strobe with field selectable 135/185cd.

The Series HS4 horn and strobe inputs are electrically
isolated to allow for independent operation of the strobe
circuit and the horn circuit. The horn and strobe may also
be wired in parallel to operate on a single circuit.

These versatile Horn and Horn Strobe Appliances
may be synchronized using Wheelock SM, DSM Sync
Modules or the PS-24-8MC Power Supplies with
Wheelock patented Sync Protocol.

All models are designed for maximum performance,
reliability and cost-effectiveness while meeting or
exceeding the latest requirements of NFPA 72/ANSI

117.1/UFC and UL Standards 1971 and 464 as well as
meeting ADA requirements concerning photosensitive
epilepsy.

• Approvals include: UL Standard 1971, UL Standard 464, New
York City (MEA), California State Fire Marshal (CSFM) and
Factory Mutual (FM) and Chicago (BFP) See approvals by
model in Specifications and Ordering Information

NOTE: All CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are identified by the symbol . All warnings are printed in bold capital letters.

WARNING: PLEASE READ THESE SPECIFICATIONS AND ASSOCIATED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING, SPECIFYING OR

APPLYING THIS PRODUCT. VISIT WWW.COOPERWHEELOCK.COM OR CONTACT COOPER WHEELOCK FOR THE CURRENT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS OR WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER APPLICATION, 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.

General Notes:

• Strobes are designed to flash at 1 flash per second minimum over their “Regulated Voltage Range”. Note that NFPA-72 specifies a flash rate of 1

to 2 flashes per second and ADA Guidelines specify a flash rate of 1 to 3 flashes per second.

• All candela ratings represent minimum effective Strobe intensity based on UL Standard 1971.

• Series NS Strobe products are listed under UL Standard 1971 for indoor use with a temperature range of 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C) and
maximum humidity of 93% (± 2%).

• Series NH horns are listed under UL Standard 464 for audible signal appliances (Indoor use only).

• “Regulated Voltage Range” is the newest terminology used by UL to identify the voltage range. Prior to this change UL used the

terminology “Listed Voltage Range”.

* RMS current ratings are per UL average RMS method. UL max current rating is the maximum
RMS current within the listed voltage range (16-33v for 24v units). For strobes the UL max current
is usually at the minimum listed voltage (16v for 24v units). For audibles the max current is usually
at the maximum listed voltage (33v for 24v units). For unfiltered FWR ratings, see installation
instructions.
