GENERAL:

Wheelock's AS Audible Strobe Appliances are the industry's first 2-wire horn strobe alarm appliances that can provide a selectable
continuous or code 3 horn tone and continuous strobe when connected directly to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), or provide a
synchronized code 3 and synchronized strobe when used in conjunction with a Sync Module (SM), Dual Sync Module (DSM) or
Power Supply (PS-12/24-8). The AS Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971 for Emergency Appliances for the Hearing Impaired
and UL Standard 464 for Audible Signal Appliances. They are listed for ceiling mounting and indoor use only and equipped with a
Universal Mounting Plate (UMP) that can be mounted to single-gang, double-gang and 4" backbox, 100mm European backbox or SHBB
surface backbox (See Mounting Options). The AS Appliances use a xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a rugged
Lexan® lens to provide maximum visibility and reliability for effective visible signaling.
Series AS Appliances can be field set to provide either High (HI) dBA, Medium (MED) dBA or Low (LO) dBA sound output.
All Series AS models are designed for use with either filtered DC (VDC) or unfiltered Full-Wave-Rectified (FWR) input voltage. All
inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).
NOTE: The code 3 horn incorporates the 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) specified by ANSI/NFPA for standard emergency evacuation signaling. The code 3 horn should be used only
for fire evacuation signaling and not for any other purpose.
