GENERAL:

Cooper Notification's Series RSS and RSSP Multi-High-Candela 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 utilizing Cooper Notification sync protocol. The Series RSS and RSSP Multi-High-Candela Strobe
Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971 (Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired) for indoor Fire Protection Service. Series RSS and RSSP
Multi-High-Candela strobes with amber, blue, green and red lens are 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. 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 FACP.
NOTE: Final acceptance is subject to Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
