Edwards 2453BSA Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions for Bell Strobe Adapter Plate bell strobe adapter plates come equipped with an electronic strobe signal has provisions for mounting a fire alarm bell not supplied The units are for indoor use only with compatible fire protective signaling systems strobes are self synchronized to flash at 1 fps across their full operating range Studies show that people with photosensitive conditions may a photoconvulsive response from multiple random flashes of light risk is minimized with these strobes The strobe operates on any existing 2 signal circuit Separately installed sync control modules are not required bell strobe adapter plate is to be installed in accordance with the latest edi of NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code It is recommended that these prod be installed in accordance with the requirements in the latest recognized of national and local fire alarm and electrical codes of less than 200 milliseconds will be maintained for no less 60 hours supervision followed by 30 minutes in alarm Table 1 and Figures 1 3 and 4 for specifications device will not operate without electrical power As fires cause power interruptions discuss further safeguards with local fire protection specialist reduce the risk of shock always disconnect all power before the unit reduce the risk of shock do not tamper with unit when circuit is Disconnect all power and allow 5 minutes for stored energy dissipate before handling any standard electrical box Install the electrical box using suitable signaling circuit field wiring into the electrical box supervision requires wire run to be broken at each device not loop signaling circuit field wires around bell strobe leads Figure 2 for wiring connections Use wire nuts not provided to wires The strobe must be connected to a signal circuit that outputs constant voltage Polarity must be observed for the unit to function Figure 2 details wiring for connecting the bell and strobe to the circuit or to separate circuits additional wiring connection details see the applicable installation for the signaling modules or circuits used in the fire alarm panel Mount the bell strobe adapter plate to the electrical box using the 3 4 19 phillips head screws provided Mount the bell onto the adapter plate and fasten the assembly to the box with the screws provided with the bell the gong and fasten with the gong support bolt power and activate the unit to verify that it is operating properly the unit fail to operate do not attempt repair Contact the for replacement a visual inspection and an operational test twice a year or as directed the local authority having jurisdiction 1 Detailed View ISSUE 3 1997 Signal Circuit bell and strobe can be connected to the same circuit as shown if the circuit is configured for signal operation Electrical supervision requires wire run to be at each device Do not loop signal circuit field around the Bell Strobe unit leads Signal Circuits bell and strobe can be connected to different circuits as shown The strobe is designed to used on circuits that output a constant voltage Do connect the strobe to a coded or pulsating voltage Electrical supervision requires wire run to be at each device Do not loop signal circuit field around the Bell Strobe unit leads 2 Connecting Strobe Unit 1 Specifications Voltage Current Rate per second Output cd Environment DC Figure 3 fps synchronized
