Strobe options for wall mount models include Wheelock’ s
patented Multi-Candela strobe with field selectable candela
settings of: 15, 30, 75 or 110cd. Ceiling mount models
are available in 15, 30, 75 or 100cd intensities.

All models may be synchronized when used in conjunction
with the Wheelock SM or DSM Sync Module(s).
Synchronized strobes can eliminate possible restrictions
on the number of strobes in the field of view. Wheelock’ s
synchronized strobes offer an easy way to comply with
recommendations concerning photosensitive epilepsy .

Wheelock’s Series RSS Strobes employ a Patented
Integral Strobe Mounting Plate that can be mounted to a
single gang, double gang, 4” square, 100mm European
backboxes or the SHBB surface backbox. If the flush
backbox has side or top space between it and the finished
wall, the NA TP (Notification Appliance Trimplate) may be
used. It provides an additional .65” of trim for the Appliance.
An attractive cover plate is provided for a clean, finished
appearance on all models.

The Series RSSP Multi-Candela Strobe Plates are a cost
effective way to retrofit required strobe appliances to bells,
horns, chimes, multitones or speakers and easily mounts
to standard 4” backboxes or for surface mount use with
Wheelock’s SBL2 surface backbox.

Architects and Engineers Specifications

The visual notification appliances shall be Wheelock Series RSS/RSSP Strobe Appliances or approved equals. The Series RSS and RSSP shall
meet and be ULC Listed under CAN/ULC-S526-02 for Visual Signaling Appliances. The strobe shall be listed for indoor use and shall meet the
requirements of FCC Part 15 Class B. The strobe appliance shall produce a flash rate of one (1) flash per second over the Listed V oltage Range
of 20 to 31 VDC for 24 volt models and 10.5 to 15.6 VDC for 12 volt models. The notification appliance shall incorporate a Xenon flashtube
enclosed in a rugged Lexan® lens. All inputs shall be compatible with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm
Control Panel (FACP).

The Series RSS and RSSP Strobe shall be of low current design. Where Wall mount, Multi-Candela, Strobe Appliances are specified the strobe
intensity shall have four (4) field selectable settings and shall be rated per ULC-S526-02 for: 15, 30, 75 and 110 candela. The selector switch
for selecting the candela shall be tamper resistant and not accessible from the front of the appliance. The Multi-Candela appliance shall visually
show the selected candela in the bottom center of the Lexan® lens enclosure. For ceiling mount applications the strobe shall be a single candela
ceiling mount RSS of 15, 30, 75, or 100 candela.

When synchronization is required, the appliance shall be compatible with Wheelock SM, DSM Sync Module(s). The strobes shall not drift out of
synchronization at any time during operation. If the sync module(s) fail to operate, (i.e. contacts remain closed), the strove shall revert to a non­synchronized flash rate. The strobes shall be designed for indoor surface of flush mounting.

The Series RSS Strobe Appliances shall incorporate a Patented, Integral Strobe Mounting Plate that shall allow mounting to single-gang, double­gang, 4-inch square, 100mm European type backboxes, or the SHBB Surface Backbox. If required, an NATP (Notification Appliance Trimplate)
shall be provided. An attaching cover plate shall be provided to give the Appliance an attractive appearance. The Appliance shall not have any
mounting holes or screw heads visible when the installation is completed.

The Series RSSP Multi-Candela or single candela Strobe Plate shall mount to either a standard 4 inch square backbox for flush mounting, or the
Wheelock SBL2 backbox for surface mounting.

All notification appliances shall be backward compatible.

NOTE: Due to continuous development of our products, specifications and offerings are subject to change without notice in
accordance with Wheelock, Inc. standard terms and conditions.
