based SL Series SLFSW Sounder and SLFSSW Sounder Strobe appliances are designed for easy installation All are for 24V operation The SLFSW Sounder and SLFSSW Sounder Strobe are rated as low frequency devices per UL 464 suitable sleeping areas per NFPA 72 The SLFSW sounder may be wall or ceiling mounted Please read these instructions carefully before using this product Failure to comply with any of the following instruc cautions and warnings could result in improper application candela setting installation and or operation of these products an emergency situation which could result in property damage and serious injury or death to you and or others Siemens LED based SL Series meets NFPA 2016 20 millisecond light pulse duration code requirements In addition the Siemens LED SL Series product line has been UL ULC listed as compatible with all Fire Alarm Control Panels FACP and accessories that have determined to be compatible with Siemens model ST Strobe based products including the ST CH SE SEF SET ST HS MTH S HQ STH ZR and ZH Series The maximum number of SL Series devices per NAC is determined by divid the maximum current rating the FACP NAC divided by the total appropriate current rating for the selected candela output of the SL Series devices with a maximum 105 SL Series devices per NAC Refer to FACP installation instructions for more detail The Siemens LED based SL Series strobes may installed in the same notification zone and field of view with any ST Strobe based product When using horn only models on a FACP listed as Special Application Do not exceed 85 of maximum NAC current rating 1 Specifications UL 1971 CAN ULC S526 16 UL 464 CAN ULC S525 16 Use Only 0 C 49 C 32 F 120 F 93 R H line resistance 35 Code 3 Code 4 Code 3 Code 4 field selectable 3 or Code 4

synchronized strobe appliance when used in conjunction with an FACP that incorporates the protocol a Dual Sync Module DSC or a Siemens Power Supply When set to the T3 T4 setting a DSC Sync Module can toggle the and SLFSW between Code 3 for fire and Code 4 for carbon monoxide The Code 3 temporal pattern 1 2 second on 1 2 second off 1 2 second on 1 2 second off 1 2 second on 1 1 2 off and repeat is by ANSI and NFPA 72 for standard emergency evacuation signaling The Code 4 temporal pattern 100 ms on followed by 100 ms off for 4 cycles followed by 5 seconds of silence and repeat is by ANSI and NFPA 720 for carbon monoxide emergency signaling 2A SLFSSW and SLFSW dBA Sound Output and SLFSW 24V dBA per UL 464 and SLFSW 24V dBA per CAN ULC S525 16 Dwelling Use Only 3 4 3 Code 4 Code 4 measured

appliances are UL Listed as They are intended to be used with Fire Alarm Control Panels FACPs notification circuits are UL Listed as Refer to the FACP instructions or the Siemens Strobe Compatibility Data Sheet PN for special application and strobe synchronization compatibility These appliances were tested to the regulated voltage limits of 16.0 33.0 Volts for 24 volt models using filtered DC or unfiltered DC Do apply voltage outside of this range Check the minimum and maximum output of the power supply and standby battery and subtract the voltage drop from the circuit wir resistance to determine the applied voltage to the strobes The maximum wire impedance between strobes shall not exceed 35 ohms Strobes are not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off Make sure that the total RMS current required by all appliances that are connected to the system primary and secondary power notification appliance circuits DSC sync modules or Siemens power supplies does not exceed the power sources rated capacity 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 dur an emergency which could result in property damage and serious injury or death to you and or others Ensure the device is set

have in out wiring terminals that accept two 12 to 18 American Wire Gauge AWG wires at each screw termi Strip leads 3 8 inches and connect to screw terminals Break all in out wire runs on supervised circuits to ensure integrity of circuit supervision as shown in Figure 2 The polarity shown in 3 the wiring diagram is for the operation of the appliances The polarity is reversed by the FACP during supervision Figure 2 Wire Connection Check that the installed product will have sufficient clearance and with sheathed multiconductor cable or 3 4 inch conduit fit are used the limits shown for the mounting option comply with the National Electrical Code NEC Siemens recommends use of a 4 inch backbox and the use of approved stranded field wires whenever possible to provide additional wiring room for easy installation minimum stress on the product from wiring Do not over tighten mounting screws Excessive torque can distort the base and may affect operation When using power tools to screw down the mounting plate to the electrical backbox ensure the torque is set to the lowest available OPTIONS Remove the lens protector tape and the speaker protector before replacing the appliance cover grille Connect field wiring to contacts on back of device Dress wires back into backbox Install device as shown in Figure 6 to a 4 inch square backbox Figure 7 to a surface mount backbox or Figure 8 to a single gang with the provided pan head screws Snap beauty cover over device backbox must be recessed or flush with the wall surface Device only has one mounting orientation LED light element should be pointed towards ground To remove the appliance insert a small flat bladed screwdriver into the bottom opening as shown in Figure 5 Then pry off beauty with the screw driver and then unscrew device For the surface mount backbox please use the LFSBB R Red or LFSBB W White accessory products DO NOT PAINT THIS DEVICE
