GENERAL:

Series S8-70/25 Eight Inch Speaker, S8-24MCC Multi-Candela Eight Inch Speaker Strobe and S8-24MCCH Multi-High Candela are UL Listed under Standard 1971
(Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired) and Standard 1480 (Speakers for Fire Protective Signaling Systems) for indoor fire protection service. The S8-24MCC
and S8-24MCCH with amber, red, blue or green lens is UL Listed under Standard UL1638 (Visual Signaling Appliance) for Private Mode Emergency and General
Utility Signaling. The S8 Eight Inch Speaker is designed for multiple power requirements with high dBA output at each power tap and offers a choice of field
selectable taps, 1/4W to 8W for either 25.0VRMS or 70.0VRMS audio systems. The speaker has a molded, flame retardant cone.
NOTE: In order to maintain proper UL 1480 listing, the CBB-8 Speaker Backbox (available separately) must be installed. The CBB-8 Backbox is required for use in
ceiling plenums that are part of return air handling systems.
The S8-24MCC Strobe provides four selectable light output intensities (15,30,75,95cd) in one unit. The S8-24MCCH Strobe provides two selectable light intensities
(115,177cd) in one unit. The Strobe 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 Wheelock's Power Supplies. The strobe uses a
xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a polycarbonate lens to provide maximum visibility and reliability for effective visible signaling. The S8-70/25,
S8-24MCC and S8-24MCCH are Listed for indoor use, ceiling mount only with the backboxes specified in these instructions (see wiring and mounting information).
S8 series speakers are UL rated to meet the NFPA 72 requirement for 520Hz signals in sleeping areas when used in conjunction with Wheelock Safepath
products (see SP40S manual for more details).

NOTES:
1. The strobe will produce 1 flash per second over the "Regulated Voltage" range.
2. Strobes with clear and amber lens meet the required light distribution patterns defined in UL 1971.
3. The Series S8-70/25, S8-24MCC and S8-24MCCH are UL Listed for indoor use with a temperature range of +32F to +120F (0C to +49C) and maximum
humidity of 85% RH.
4. A 10F blocking capacitor for DC supervision of audio lines by the FACP is factory wired in series with the speaker input. The maximum supervision voltage is
33 volts DC. Frequency range of speakers is 400-4000Hz.
5. Ratings listed in Table 1 are for clear lens. Derate approximately 25% for amber lens, 55% for green, 70% for blue, 80% for red.
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.
WARNING: CANDELA SETTING WILL DETERMINE THE CURRENT DRAW OF THE PRODUCT.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TOTAL RMS CURRENT REQUIRED BY ALL APPLIANCES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE
SYSTEM'S PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POWER SOURCES, NAC CIRCUITS, SM, DSM SYNC MODULES OR WHEELOCKS POWER SUPPLIES
DO NOT EXCEED THE POWER SOURCES' RATED CAPACITY OR THE CURRENT RATINGS OF ANY FUSES ON THE CIRCUITS TO WHICH
THESE APPLIANCES ARE WIRED. OVERLOADING POWER SOURCES OR EXCEEDING FUSE RATINGS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER
AND FAILURE TO ALERT OCCUPANTS DURING AN EMERGENCY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
