GENERAL:

Wheelock's VL, VL1 and VLP Visible Signals are designed with dual lamps for extra visibility and dependability. They are non-flashing incandescent
lamp signals that can be used as a visible signal only or combined with an audible signal. They can be used on a continuous or coded alarm system.

The VLPS, VLPH and VLPM are flashing xenon strobe signals that are designed to be combined with an audible signal or speaker. They are ideal for
adding strobe capability to an existing audible signal installation and they offer maximum reliability and efficiency for effective visible signaling in fire and
life safety applications. They flash once per second on continuous (non-coded) alarm systems.

SPECIFICATIONS:

VL,VL1, VLP, VLPS, VLPH Models
W in the model number indicates white lens; substitute R for red lens. The VLPM is available with a clear lens. NOTE: At 0 degrees C, minimum UL
candela ratings apply: 15cd (70,000) models = 13.75cd
