Wheelock’s Weatherproof Strobe, Audible Strobe, Multitone
Strobe and Audible appliances all have an extendedtemperature range of -35°C to 66°C (-31°F to 150°F) and will
satisfy virtually all outdoor and severe environment
applications. All strobes are Indoor/Out door UL Listed and rated
for 75 candela @ -35°C (-31°F).
Series RSSWP Strobes, Series ASWP Audible S trobes Series
AHWP Audibles and Series MTWP Strobe may be
synchronized when used in conjunction with the Wheelock
SM and DSM Sync Module(s).
Weatherproof Strobes - Series RSSWP
ULC Listed under St andard CAN/ULC-S526-02 for
Indoor/Outdoor use. The strobes use a Xenon flashtube with
solid state circuitry enclosed in a rugged Lexan® lens to provide
maximum visibility and reliability for effective visual signaling.
The Series RSSWP has a 75 cd intensity on axis at -35°C and
Low Current Draw (180 cd @ 25°C). For outdoor application
the RSSWP must be wall mounted to a Weatherproof backbox
(WPSBB).

Weatherproof Audible Strobes and Audibles- Series ASWP
and AHWP
ULC Listed under Standard CAN/ULC-S526-02 for Visual
Signaling Appliances and Standard CAN/ULC-S525-99 for
Audible Signaling Appliances. Indoor/Out door use and offer a
field selectable choice of continuous horn or temporal pattern
(Code 3) when constant voltage from the Fire Alarm Control
Panel (FACP) is applied. Additionally , the audible has three (3)
selectable dBA settings of 99, 95, and 90 dBA in both tones
and, when used with Wheelock sync modules, SM or DM the
audible may be silenced while maintaining strobe activation
on the Series ASWP. For outdoor applications the ASWP
must be Wall Mounted to the Weatherproof Backbox (WPBB).
Weatherproof Multitone Strobe and Multitone Horn Series MTWP and MT-12/24
Is ULC Listed for indoor and outdoor applications under
Standard CAN/ULC-S526-02 for Visual Signaling and under
Standard CAN/ULC-S5255-99 for Audible Signal Devices for Fire
Alarm Systems. The Multitone S trobe Appliances use a Xenon
flash tube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a rugged Lexan®
lens to provide maximum visibility and reliability for effective
visible signaling. The Multitone electronic appliance offers a
choice of eight (8) internationally recognized alerting sounds:
Horn, Bell, March T ime Horn, Code 3 T one, Code 3 Horn, Slow
Whoop, Siren or Hi/Lo Tone. Additionally, the audible has two
installer selectable sound output levels; Standard and High
covering a range (depending on selected signal) or 85-100 dBA
anechoic. The series MTWP is a true 4-wire appliance. The
strobe portion can by synchronized and non synchronized. The
Multitone (audible) portion can be synchronized, but it can be
connected to a coded fire alarm system. The series MTWP
and the MT-12/24 mount to a series IOB out door backbox.

The Weatherproof Strobe appliances shall be Wheelock Series RSSWP-2475W strobes or approved equals. The
Series RSSWP shall meet and be listed for ULC and S526-02 S tandard 1638 (St andard for Visual Signaling Appliances)
for Indoor/Outdoor use. The strobe appliances shall produce a flash rate of 30-62 flashes per minute over the Regulated
Volt age Range of 20.0 to 31.0 VDC and shall incorporate a Xenon flashtube inclosed in a rugged Lexan® lens. The strobe
shall be rated at 75cd and shall operate over an extended temperature range of -35°C to 66°C (-31°F to 150°F). All input s
shall be polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm Control
Panel. When synchronization is required, the appliances shall be compatible with the Wheelock Series SM and DSM
Sync Module(s). The strobes shall not drift out of synchronization at any time during operation. If the sync module fails
to operate, (i.e., contacts remain closed), the strobe shall revert to a non-synchronized flash rate.
The Weatherproof Audible Strobe and Audible appliances shall be Wheelock Series ASWP-2475W Audible Strobes
and Wheelock Series AHWP Audible Horns or approved equals. The Series ASWP and Series AHWP shall meet and
be listed for ULC and S526-02 Standard 1638 (Standard for V isual Signaling Appliances) for Indoor/Outdoor use. The
strobe appliances shall produce a flash rate of 30-62 flashes per minute over the Regulated Voltage Range of 20.0 to 31.0
VDC and shall incorporate a Xenon flashtube enclosed in a rugged Lexan® lens. The strobe shall be rated at 75cd and
shall operate over an extended temperature range of -35°C to 66°C (-31°F to 150°F). All inputs shall be polarized for
compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).
The weatherproof audible strobe appliances shall be designed for two-wire operation and shall provide either a continuous
or temporal (Code 3) tone when constant voltage from a Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) of the Fire Alarm Control
Panel (FACP) is applied. They shall be designed so that the audible signal may be silenced while maintaining strobe
activation. When synchronization is required, the appliances shall be compatible with the WheelockSeries SM and
DSM Sync Module(s). The strobes shall not drift out of synchronization at any time during operation. If the sync fails
to operate, (i.e., contacts remain closed), the strobe shall revert to a non-synchronized flash rate.
The Weatherproof Multitone Strobe and Multitone Audible appliances shall be a Wheelock Series MTWP and
MT-12/24 or equivalent. The Series MTWP shall meet and be listed for ULC and S526-02 S tandard 1638 (S tandard for
Visual Signaling Appliances) for indoor/outdoor use. The strobe portion of the appliance shall produce a flash rate of 3062 flashes per minute over the listed voltage range of 20-31 VDC and shall incorporate a Xenon flash tube enclosed in a
rugged Lexan® lens. The strobe shall be rated at 75cd. The series MTWP shall operate over an extended temperature
range of -35°C to 66°C (-31°F to 150°F). All input s shall be polarized for compatibility with industry standard reverse
polarity of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm Control Panel. The audible portion of the Series MTWP as well as the Series MT 12/24 shall provide eight field selectable alarm signals. The signals shall consists of: Horn, Bell, March Time, Code 3
Horn, Code 3 Tone, Slow Whoop, Siren and Hi/Lo. T one selection shall be by a durable dip switch assembly. Clips or
Jumpers are not acceptable. The appliance shall provide two output sound levels: S tandard and High dBA. The range of
dBA shall be 75 to 94 dBA. The Series MTWP shall have an operating voltage of 24 VDC (nominal) while the Series MT 12/24 shall operate at either 12 or 24 VDC (nominal) using filtered power or unfiltered power (full wave rectified). Both
models shall have provisions for In/Out field wiring using terminals that accept #12 to #18 A WG wiring. When synchronization
is required, the Series MTWP shall be compatible with the Series SM and DSM Sync Modules. Note: The Strobe
portion of the Series MTWP may be synchronized. The audible portion of the appliance cannot. The audible
portion of the appliance can be connected to a coded fire alarm system. The Series MTWP and the Series
MT-12/24 shall be mounted only to the IOB-R Backbox.
