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

. All warnings are printed in bold capital letters.

WARNING: THE RSS STROBE APPLIANCE IS A "FIRE ALARM DEVICE - DO NOT PAINT."

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.

When calculating the total average, peak or inrush currents: Use Table 2A and 2B to determine the highest value of “Rated Average Current” for an individual strobe (across the expected operating voltage range of the strobe) to determine the highest value of “Rated Inrush Current” or “Rated Peak Current” (whichever is higher) of an individual strobe (across the expected voltage range of the strobe) then multiply the value by the total number of strobes; be sure to add the currents for any other appliances, i

MOUNTING PROCEDURES: CAUTION: Check that the installed product will have sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and conduit, especially if sheathed multiconductor cable or 3/4" conduit fittings are used. 1. RSS models have an integrated Strobe Mounting Plate (SMP). 2. The Strobe Mounting Plate (SMP) must be oriented correctly when it is mounted to the backbox. Turn the SMP so that the arrow above the words “Horizontal Strobe” points to the top side of the SMP. 3.
