Notifier AH User Manual

GENERAL

Wheelock’s patented 2-wire AS Series Audible Strobe Applicances
and AH Series Audible Devices offer more features with low
current draw.

Strobe options for wall mount models include 1575cd or Wheelock’s
patented MCW multi-candela wall strobes with field selectrable
candela settings of 15/30/75/110cd.

Ceiling mount models incorporate Wheelock’s patented MCC multi­candela ceiling strobe with field selectrable intensities of 15/30/75/
95cd.

The audible provides a selectable choice of either a continous horn
or temporal pattern (Code 3) when constant voltage from a Fire
Alarm Panel (FACP) is applied. Each tone has 3 dBA settings to
choose from.

When used with the Wheelock Series SM or DSM Sync Module or
with a power supply with the Wheelock sync protocol,
synchronization of the continous horn tone provides the temporal
(code 3) tone (mandated by NFPA 72) simultaneously for all audible
appliances. This ensurses a distrinct temporal (code 3) pattern
when 2 or more audibles are within hearing distance. If not
synchronized the temporal sound could overlap and not be
distrinctive. At the same time the strobes will be synchronized.
This provides the ability to comply with ADA guidelines concerning
photosensitive epilepsy and the NFPA standards when installing
2 or more visual appliances within the field of view all of this puls
the ability to silence the audible is achieved by using only 2 wire.

GENERAL NOTES

• Strobes are designed to flash at 1 flash per second minimum
over the Regulated Voltage Range. Note that NFPA-72 (1999)
specifies a flash rate of 1 to 2 flashes per second and ADA
Guildelines specify a flash rate of 1 to 3 flashes per second.

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

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

• AH-24 Series horns are listed under UL Standard 464 for audible
signal appliances (indoor use only).

• AH-24WP Series audible appliances are listed under UL Stan­dard 464 for indoor/outdoor use with a temperature range of ­31° F to 150° F (-35° C to 66° C) and maximum humidity of 95%.

• “Regulated Voltage Range” is the newest terminology

used by UL to identify the voltage range. Prior this
change, UL used the terminology “Listed Voltage Range”.
