GENERAL:

Wheelock’s AS Audible Strobe Appliances are the industry’s first 2-wire horn strobe alarm appliances that can provide a selectable
continuous or code 3 horn tone and continuous strobe when connected directly to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), or provide a
synchronized code 3 and synchronized strobe when used in conjunction with a Sync Module (SM), Dual Sync Module (DSM) or
Power Supply (PS-12/24-8 UL Only). The AS Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971 for Emergency Appliances for the
Hearing Impaired and UL Standard 464 for Audible Signal Appliances. The AS is also ULC Listed under Standard CAN/ULC-S525­M87 for Visual Signaling Appliances and Standard CAN/ULC-S525-99 for Audible Signaling Appliances. They are listed for ceiling

mounting and indoor use only

gang and 4” backbox, 100mm European backbox or SHBB surface backbox (See Mounting Options). The AS Appliances use a
Xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a rugged Lexan lens to provide maximum visibility and reliability for effective
visible signaling.

Series AS Appliances can be field set to provide either High (HI) dBA, Medium (MED) dBA or Low (LO) dBA sound output.

All Series AS models are designed for use with either filtered DC (VDC) or unfiltered Full-Wave-Rectified (FWR) input voltage. All
inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm Control Panel
(FACP).

The code 3 horn incorporates the temporal pattern (1/2 second on, 1/2 second off, 1/2 second on, 1/2 second off, 1/2 second

NOTE:

on, 1-1/2 off and repeat) specified by ANSI/NFPA for standard emergency evacuation signaling. The code 3 horn should be used
only for fire evacuation signaling and not for any other purpose.

* Rated average current is measured using mean value.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT BOTH THE TOTAL AVERAGE CURRENT, TOTAL PEAK CURRENT AND
TOTAL INRUSH CURRENT REQUIRED BY ALL APPLIANCES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM’S
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POWER SOURCES, NAC CIRCUITS, SM, DSM SYNC MODULES OR PS-12/24-8
POWER SUPPLY DO NOT EXCEED THE POWER SOURCES’ RATED CAPACITY OR THE CURRENT RATINGS OF
ANY FUSES ON THE CIRCUITS TO WHICH THESE APPLIANCES ARE WIRED. OVERLOADING POWER
SOURCES OR EXCEEDING FUSE RATINGS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER AND FAILURE TO ALERT
OCCUPANTS DURING AN EMERGENCY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

When calculating total average, peak or inrush currents: Use Table 3 and 3A to determine the highest value of “Rated Average
Current” for an individual strobe (across the expected operating voltage range of the strobe) or the highest value of “Rated Inrush
current” or “Rated Peak current” (whichever is higher) of an individual strobe (across the expected operating voltage range of the
strobe) then multiply the value by the total number of strobes; be sure to add the currents for any other appliances, including audible
signaling appliances, powered by the same source and include any required safety factor.

If the inrush current or peak current exceeds the power supplies’ inrush capacity, the output voltage provided by the power supplies
may drop below the listed voltage range of the appliances connected to the supply and the voltage may not recover in some types of
power supplies. For example, an auxiliary power supply that lacks filtering at its output stage (either via lack of capacitance and/or
lack of battery backup across the output) may exhibit this characteristic.

CAUTION: Strobes are not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off.

MOUNTING OPTIONS:

CAUTION: The following figures show the maximum number of field wires (conductors) that can enter the backbox used with

each mounting option. If these limits are exceeded, there may be insufficient space in the backbox to accommodate the field wires
and stresses from the wires could damage the product.

Although the limits shown for each mounting option comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC), Wheelock recommends use of
the largest backbox option shown and the use of approved stranded field wires, whenever possible, to provide additional wiring room
for easy installation and minimum stress on the product from wiring.

1. All models can be flush mounted to a standard single-gang backbox (Figure A), 4” backbox (Figure B) or double-gang backbox

(Figure C). They can also be surface mounted to a 4” or 100mm backbox (Figure B), a double-gang backbox (Figure C) or a
SHBB surface backbox (Figure D).

2. All models are equipped with a Universal Mounting Plate (UMP).

3. Mounting hardware for each mounting option is supplied. For proper mounting, be sure to use the mounting screws supplied

with the unit.

4. Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product.

5. When terminating field wires, do not use more lead length than required. Excess lead length could result in insufficient wiring

space for the signaling appliance.

6. Do not pass additional wires (used for other than the signaling appliance) through the backbox. Such additional wires could

result in insufficient wiring space for the signaling appliance.

7. The effect of shipping and storage temperatures do not adversely affect the performance of the appliances when stored in the

original cartons and are not subjected to misuse.

:

CAUTION

If audible strobe appliances are operated within 15 inches of a person's ear, they can produce a sound pressure level

that exceeds the maximum 120dBA permitted by ADA and OSHA rules. Exposure to such sound levels can result in damage to a
person's hearing.

WARNING: WHEN INSTALLING STROBES IN AN OPEN OFFICE OR OTHER AREAS CONTAINING PARTITIONS OR OTHER
VIEWING OBSTRUCTIONS, SPECIAL ATTENTION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE LOCATION OF THE STROBES SO THAT
THEIR OPERATING EFFECT CAN BE SEEN BY ALL INTENDED VIEWERS, WITH THE INTENSITY, NUMBER, AND TYPE OF
STROBES BEING SUFFICIENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INTENDED VIEWER IS ALERTED BY PROPER ILLUMINATION,
REGARDLESS OF THE VIEWER'S ORIENTATION. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

WARNING: A SMALL POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT THE USE OF MULTIPLE STROBES WITHIN A PERSON'S FIELD OF
VIEW, UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, MIGHT INDUCE A PHOTO-SENSITIVE RESPONSE IN PERSONS WITH EPILEPSY.
STROBE REFLECTIONS IN A GLASS OR MIRRORED SURFACE MIGHT ALSO INDUCE SUCH A RESPONSE. TO MINIMIZE
THIS POSSIBLE HAZARD, WHEELOCK STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STROBES INSTALLED SHOULD NOT
PRESENT A COMPOSITE FLASH RATE IN THE FIELD OF VIEW WHICH EXCEEDS FIVE (5) Hz AT THE OPERATING
VOLTAGE OF THE STROBES. WHEELOCK ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE INTENSITY AND COMPOSITE
FLASH RATE OF INSTALLED STROBES COMPLY WITH LEVELS ESTABLISHED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, STANDARDS,
REGULATIONS, CODES AND GUIDELINES.
