GENERAL:

Cooper Notification'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 Cooper Notification's Power Supplies.
The Series RSS and RSSP Strobe Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971 (Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired) for indoor fire protection service. The
1575W candela wall mounted strobes are listed at 15 candela under UL Standard 1971 and meet 75 candela intensity on axis with low current draw. These Strobes are
listed for wall mount and indoor use 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 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 the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).

Table 3: Current Ratings (AMPS) for 24VDC Models
Maximum RMS Current
Voltage
DC 16.0-33.0VDC
FWR 16.0-33.0VRMS
When calculating the total currents use Table 3A and 3B 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.
