Installation Instructions for 869DSTR*-G1 Series

Diode Polarized Electronic Horn/Strobe Signal Appliance

Description

The horn/strobes are UL and cUL Listed, high quality, diode
polarized signals intended for use in general signaling
applications. The strobes flash at 1 fps across their full
operating voltage range.

It is recommended that these products be installed in
accordance with the requirements in the latest edition of
national and local electrical codes.

See Tables 1 and 2 for specifications.

Installation

WARNINGS

To reduce the risk of shock, always disconnect all power
before handling the unit.

To reduce the risk of shock, do not tamper with this device
when the signal circuit is energized. Disconnect all power
and wait 5 minutes for stored energy to dissipate before
handling.

1. Select mounting method as detailed in Figure 1 and
install the electrical box (not supplied) using suitable
hardware.

a. For outdoor applications, install the weatherproof

box (ordered separately) using four #10 x 1 1/4"
(32 mm) screws and cap lugs provided in the
enclosed parts bag.

NOTE: Be sure hook flange is facing outward as shown

in Figure 1.

NOTE: The designation "TOP" on boxes denotes

orientation of box after installation.

2. Attach mounting plate using two #8-32 screws
provided with the surface box (ordered separately) or
four #8-32 screws provided with the weatherproof box
(ordered separately). The flush box uses two #8-32
screws (not provided).

3. Bring signaling circuit field wiring into electrical box.

4. Ground in accordance with national and local electrical
codes. A green ground screw is provided with both
the indoor and outdoor surface boxes.

5. Connect signaling circuit field wires to terminals on
horn/strobe assembly (Figures 2-4).

6. Mount the horn/strobe assembly on the mounting
plate (Figure 1).

c. Fasten the bottom of the grille to the mounting

plate by installing the captive combination drive
screw.

7. Apply power and activate the horn/strobe unit to verify
that it is operating properly.

Maintenance

a. The inside of the top of the grille has hinges that

pass through cutouts and engage with tabs on the
mounting plate. With the bottom of the grille
lifted out slightly, place the grille over the
mounting plate so that the hinges of the grille
are in the mounting cutouts.

Should the unit fail to operate properly, do not attempt
repair. Contact the supplier for replacement.

Perform a visual inspection and an operational test twice
a year.

CAUTION

b. Properly seat the grille by pressing the bottom in.

CONNECTING HORN AND STROBE ON SAME CIRCUIT: The horn and the strobe must be connected to a signal circuit having a constant
(non-coded) voltage output.

CAUTION: Electrical supervision requires wire run to be broken at each terminal. Do not loop signaling circuit field wires around terminals.

Figure 2. Wiring the Horn and Strobe on the Same Circuit

CONNECTING HORN AND STROBE ON DIFFERENT CIRCUITS: The strobe must be connected to signal circuits having a constant (non­coded) voltage output. The horn must be connected to a continuous voltage when it is set to sound a temporal tone; it may be connected
to either a pulsed or continuous voltage when set to sound a steady tone.

CAUTION: Electrical supervision requires wire run to be broken at each terminal. Do not loop signaling circuit field wires around terminals.
