THIS UNIT MUST BE MOUNTED ON A FLAT SURFACE, SO THAT THE SURFACE COVERS THE ENTIRE BACK SURFACE OF THE BACKBOX.

WHEN USED IN AN OUTDOOR APPLICATION OR A NEMA 3R APPLICATION, USE WEATHER PROOF RATED CONDUIT FITTING ON ALL

KNOCKOUTS OF THE BACKBOX.

Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product. The knock-out opening on the

backbox is sized for a ½" conduit and matching connector. Be sure that a proper watertight conduit fitting is used to connect the backbox for

outdoor/severe environment applications. Do not pass additional wires (used for other than the signaling appliance) through the backbox. Such

additional wires could result in insufficient wiring space for the signaling appliance.

When terminating field wires, do not use more lead length than required. Excess lead length could result in insufficient wiring space for the

signaling appliance.

Connect 4 field wires to the AS-WP terminal block (polarity must be observed).

Bend the 4 field wires up 90° at the connection to the terminal block and carefully push the 4 field wires into the backbox by hand.

Carefully press the AS-WP to the backbox, verifying that the AS-WP is in contact with the gasket all the way around. It should not be

resting on the lip of the backbox.

Screw the AS-WP to the WPBBS using the #6-20 screw.

WARNING: A SMALL POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT THE USE OF MULTIPLE STROBES WITHIN A PERSON'S FIELD OF VIEW, UNDER

CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, MIGHT INDUCE A PHOTO-SENSITIVE RESPONSE IN PERSONS WITH EPILEPSY. STROBE REFLECTIONS IN A

GLASS OR MIRRORED SURFACE MIGHT ALSO INDUCE SUCH A RESPONSE. TO MINIMIZE THIS POSSIBLE HAZARD, SIEMENS STRONGLY

RECOMMENDS THAT THE STROBES INSTALLED SHOULD NOT PRESENT A COMPOSITE FLASH RATE IN THE FIELD OF VIEW, WHICH

EXCEEDS FIVE (5) Hz AT THE OPERATING VOLTAGE OF THE STROBES. SIEMENS ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE INTENSITY

AND COMPOSITE FLASH RATE OF INSTALLED STROBES COMPLY WITH LEVELS ESTABLISHED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, STANDARDS,

REGULATIONS, CODES AND GUIDELINES.

WARNING: REMOVAL OF THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD COVER AT THE BACK OF THE MOUNTING PLATE COULD RESULT IN SEVERE

ELECTRIC SHOCK.

The 135/185cd and 177cd settings are listed for use in sleeping or non-sleeping areas when installed in accordance with appropriate NFPA Standards

and the AHJ.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital appliance, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna, 2) Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver, 3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected, and 4) Consult the

dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
