www.cooperwheelock.com		SERIES RSSWP STROBE WEATHERPROOF APPLIANCE
		(WALL/CEILING MOUNT VERSION)

Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.

GENERAL:

Series RSSWP Strobes can provide a non-synchronized strobe signal when connected directly to a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), or provide a synchronized strobe signal when used in conjunction with a Sync Module (SM), Dual Sync Module (DSM), or Wheelock’s Power Supplies. The RSSWP strobe appliance is UL Listed under Standard 1638 (Visual Signaling Appliances) and Standard 1971 (Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired) for indoor/outdoor use, fire protective service. The Series RSSWP-2475W Strobe Appliances is ULC Listed under Standard CAN/ULC-S526-02 for Visual Signaling Appliances. RSSWP- 2475W Candela Strobe Appliance with amber, blue, green or red lens is UL Listed under Standard 1638 (Visual Signaling Appliance) for Private Mode Emergency and General Utility Signaling. The Multi-High-Candela strobe provides two selectable light output intensities in one unit. For outdoor applications the RSSWP must be mounted to a Weatherproof Backbox (WPSBB). The strobes use a xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a polycarbonate 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 a FACP.

NOTE: Final acceptance is subject to authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ).

NOTE: All Canadian installations should be in accordance with the Canadian Standard for the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems, CAN/ULC-S524-01 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1. Final acceptance is subject to authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ).

NOTES:

1.Strobes will produce 1 flash per second over the “Regulated Voltage” range.

2.Strobes with clear lens meet the required light distribution patterns defined in ULC S526-02 and UL 1971. Strobes with amber lens meet the required light distribution patterns defined in UL 1971.

3.All models are listed for indoor and outdoor use. UL 1971 is tested from a temperature range of 32ºF to 120ºF (0ºC to 49ºC). UL 1638 is tested from a temperature range of -40ºF to +150ºF (-40ºC to +66ºC) with a maximum humidity of 95% RH. The effect of shipping and storage temperatures shall not adversely affect the performance of the appliances when it is stored in the original cartons and is not subjected to misuse or abuse.

4.Candela ratings listed in Table 1 are for clear lens. Derate 70% for blue (B), 25% for amber (A), 55% for green (G), and 80% for red (R) lens

WARNING: CANDELA SETTING WILL DETERMINE THE CURRENT DRAW OF A PRODUCT.

When calculating the total currents use Table 1 to determine the highest value of RMS current for an individual strobe, then multiply these values by the total number of strobes. Be sure to add the currents for any other appliances, including audible signaling appliances powered by the same source, and to include any required safety factors.

NOTE: The maximum number of strobes on a single notification appliance circuit shall not exceed 50.

CAUTION: These notification appliances are UL Listed as “Regulated”. They are intended to be used with FACPs whose notification circuits are UL Listed as “Regulated.” These appliances shall not be used on UL Listed “Special Application” notification circuits unless the appliances are identified to be compatible in the installation instructions of the FACP or unless the FACP is identified to be compatible in this instruction manual.

WARNING: THESE APPLIANCES WERE TESTED TO THE REGULATED VOLTAGE LIMITS OF 16.0-33.0 VOLTS FOR 24V MODELS USING FILTERED DC OR UNFILTERED FULL-WAVE-RECTIFIED VOLTAGE. DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE OUTSIDE OF THIS RANGE.

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. THE MAXIMUM WIRE IMPEDANCE BETWEEN STROBES SHALL NOT EXCEED 35 OHMS.
