SERIES RS STROBE APPLIANCES |
Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL:
RS (Universal Mounting) and RSP Strobe Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971 (Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired) for indoor fire protection service. The 1575 candela strobes are listed at 15 candela under UL Standard 1971 and meet 75 candela intensity on axis with low current draw. Series RS Strobes are listed for indoor use only. 15cd, 30cd and 75cd models are Listed for ceiling or wall mount and 15cd* models are Listed for wall mount with the backboxes specified in these instructions (See Mounting Options). The strobes use a Xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a rugged Lexan lens to provide maximum visibility and reliability for effective visible signaling. All inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).
NOTE: All CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are identified by the symbol . All warnings are printed in bold capital letters.
WARNING: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER APPLICATION, INSTALLATION AND/OR OPERATION OF THESE PRODUCTS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

The UL Listed “Rated Input Voltage” is 20.0-31.0VDC or 10.5- 15.6VDC using either filtered (DC) or unfiltered full-wave-rectified (FWR) voltage. Check the minimum and maximum output of the power supply and standby battery and subtract the voltage drop from the circuit wiring resistance to determine the applied voltage to the strobes.
WARNING: ALTHOUGH UL TESTING HAS VERIFIED THAT THESE STROBES FUNCTION EVEN AT 80% OF THEIR MINIMUM RATING AND 110% OF THEIR MAXIMUM RATING, WHEELOCK STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE VOLTAGE APPLIED TO THESE PRODUCTS BE WITHIN THEIR RATED INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE. THE APPLICATION OF IMPROPER VOLTAGE MAY RESULT IN DEGRADED OPERATION OR DAMAGE TO THESE PRODUCTS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

Note: All VFWR voltage ratings are measured with a DC volt meter. Multiply VFWR voltage by 1.11 to convert to VRMS.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT 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 AND APPLIANCE CIRCUITS 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 the total average, peak and inrush currents: Use Table 2 and 2A to determine the highest value of “Rated Average Current” for an individual strobe (across the expected operating voltage range of the strobe) to determine the highest value of “Rated Inrush Current” or “Rated Peak Current” (whichever is higher) of an individual strobe (across the expected voltage range of the strobe) then multiply these values 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 factors.
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.
