INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SERIES RSS AND RSSP STROBE APPLIANCES
(WALL MOUNT VERSIONS)
Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL:
Wheelock’s Series RSS and RSSP Strobes can provide a non-synchronized strobe appliance when connected directly to a Fire Alarm
Control Panel (FACP), or provide a synchronized strobe appliance when used in conjunction with a Sync Module (SM), Dual Sync
Module (DSM) or Power Supply (PS-12/24-8). The Series RSS and RSSP Strobe Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971
(Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired) for indoor fire protection service. These Strobes are listed for wall mount only,
with the
backboxes specified in these instructions (See Mounting Options). RSS models have an integrated Strobe Mounting Plate (SMP) that
can be mounted to a single-gang, double-gang, 4” backbox, 100mm European backbox or SHBB surface backbox. 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 the FACP.
NOTE: All CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are identified by the symbol
WARNING: THE RSS STROBE APPLIANCE IS A "FIRE ALARM DEVICE - DO NOT PAINT."
. 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.

NOTE: THE MAXIMUM WIRE IMPEDANCE BETWEEN STROBES SHALL NOT EXCEED 35 OHMS. THE
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF STROBES ON A SINGLE NOTIFICATION APPLIANCE CIRCUIT SHALL NOT EXCEED 47.
WARNING: THESE APPLIANCES WERE TESTED TO THE OPERATING VOLTAGE LIMITS OF 16-33 VOLTS
FOR 24V MODELS AND 8-17.5 VOLTS FOR 12V MODELS USING FILTERED (DC) OR UNFILTERED FULL-WAVE
RECTIFIED (FWR). DO NOT APPLY 80% AND 110% OF THESE VOLTAGE VALUES FOR SYSTEM OPERATION.
WARNING: 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.

* Rated average current is measured using mean value. ** The time duration for the peak current is 100 microseconds.
*** The time duration for the inrush current is 4 milliseconds.
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, 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.
