Wheelock RSSWP weatherproof strobe install sheet P84824

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS RSSWP STROBE WEATHERPROOF WALL CEILING MOUNT VERSION this product according to this instruction manual Please keep this instruction manual for future reference RSSWP Strobes can provide a non synchronized strobe signal when connected directly to a Fire Alarm Control Panel FACP or a synchronized strobe signal when used in conjunction with a Sync Module SM Dual Sync Module DSM or Cooper Wheelock Supplies The RSSWP strobe appliance is UL Listed under Standard 1638 Visual Signaling Appliances and UL Standard 1971 Devices for the Hearing Impaired for indoor outdoor use UL These appliances are also ULC Listed under Standard CAN ULC for Visual Signaling Appliances RSSWP Strobe Appliances with amber blue green or red lens are UL Listed under Standard Visual Signaling Appliance for Private Mode Emergency and General Utility Signaling The Multi High Candela strobe provides selectable light output intensities in one unit For outdoor applications the RSSWP must be mounted to a Weatherproof Backbox The strobes use a xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a polycarbonate lens to provide maximum visibility and for effective visible signaling All inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring a FACP All Canadian installations should be in accordance with the Canadian Standard for the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems CAN ULC and the Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 Final acceptance is subject to authorities having jurisdiction AHJ Please read these instructions carefully Failure to comply with any of the following instructions cautions and warn could result in improper application installation and or operation of these products in an emergency situation which could in property damage and serious injury or death to you and or others Not recommended for use at refrigerator freezer door entrances or other areas with persistent condensation Current Rating Ratings 1 UL

outdoor use as follows Clear Lens rated 40 to 150 with max humidity of 95 All other models rated 31 to 150 with max humidity of 95 RH candela rating per UL1971 will produce 1 flash per second over the regulated voltage range Candela setting will determine the current draw of a product calculating the total currents use Table 1 to determine the highest value of RMS current for an individual strobe then multiply these by the total number of strobes Be sure to add the currents for any other appliances including audible signaling appliances pow by the same source and to include any required safety factors These appliances were tested to the regulated voltage limits of 16 33 Volts for 24V models using filtered dc or unfil full wave rectified voltage Do not 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 circuit wiring resistance to determine the applied voltage to the strobes The maximum wire impedance between strobes shall exceed 35 ohms Strobes are not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off Ensure the total RMS current required by all appliances that are connected to the system primary and second power sources Notification Appliance Circuits SM DSM sync modules or Cooper Wheelock power supplies does not the power source rated

right Models The following figure shows the maximum number of field wires conductors that can enter the backbox used with each mount option If these limits are exceeded there may be insufficient space in the backbox to accommodate the field wires and stresses from wires could damage the product Verify the installed product will have sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and conduit especially if multi conductor cable is used the limits shown for each mounting option comply with the National Electrical Code NEC Cooper Notification recommends use the largest backbox option shown and the use of approved stranded field wires whenever possible to provide additional wiring room easy installation and minimum stress on the product from wiring This unit must be mounted on a flat surface so that the surface covers the entire back surface of the backbox When in an outdoor application or a NEMA 3R application use weatherproof rated conduit fitting on all knockouts of

The polarity shown the wiring diagrams is for the operation of the appliances The polarity is reversed by the FACP during supervision to instruction sheets for SM DSM or Cooper Notification power supplies for additional information knock out opening on the backbox is sized for a conduit and matching connector Ensure a proper watertight conduit is used to connect the backbox for outdoor severe environment applications Conduit entrances to the backbox should be to provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product Do not pass additional wires used for other than the signaling through the backbox Such additional wires could result in insufficient wiring space for the signaling appliance terminating field wires do not use more lead length than required Excess lead length could result in insufficient wiring space the appliance care and proper techniques to position the field wires in the backbox so they use minimum space and produce minimum stress the product This is especially important for stiff heavy gauge wires and wires with thick insulation or sheathing 4 field wires to the RSSWP terminal block polarity must be observed the 4 field wires up 90 degrees at the connection to the terminal block Then carefully push the 4 field wires into the backbox by hand press the RSSWP to the backbox verifying the RSSWP is in contact with the gasket all the way around It
