GENERAL:

Series RSS Multi-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 power
supplies utilizing Cooper Notification sync protocol. The Series RSS Multi-Candela Strobe Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971 (Signaling
Devices for the Hearing Impaired) for indoor Fire Protection Service and ULC Listed under Standard CAN/ULC-S526-07 for indoor Fire Protective
Service. The Multi-Candela strobe provides four selectable light output intensities in one unit. RSS with amber, red, blue or green lens is UL Listed
under Standard UL1638 (Visual Signaling Appliance) for Private Mode Emergency General Utility Signaling. These strobes are listed for ceiling mount
only, with the backboxes specified in these instructions (See wiring and mounting information). 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).
NOTE: All Canadian Installations should be in accordance with the Canadian Standard for the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems - CAN/ULC-S524 and
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1. Final acceptance is subject to Authorities Having Jurisdiction.

When calculating the total currents: Use Table 2 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 include any required safety factors.
NOTE: The maximum number or 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.
