CHS-24G, CS-24WG, CHS-24R, CS-24WR are intended for indoor installations only; this appliance is not listed for outdoor or drip proof applications. The HS-24-WP, HSLP-24-WP, S-24-WP,
SLP-24-WP, CHS-24A-WP, CHSLP-24A-WP, CS-24WA-WP, CSLP-24WA-WP, CHS-24B-WP, CHSLP-24B-WP, CS-24WB-WP, CSLP-24WB-WP, CHS-24G-WP, CHSLP-24G-WP, CS-24WG-WP,
CSLP-24WG-WP, CHS-24R-WP, CHSLP-24R-WP, CS-24WR-WP, CSLP-24WR-WP are intended for indoor or outdoor installations; this appliance is rated for outdoor or drip proof applications
when used in conjunction with the WPBB or WPLPBB Enclosure.
Wall mounted strobe and horn/strobe appliances shall have their entire lens at heights above the finished floor of not less than 80 in. (2m) and not greater than 96 in. (2.4m)**. Spacing shall be
in accordance with Table A. If a room configuration is not square, the room size that will entirely encompass the room or subdivide the room into multiple squares shall be used. Wall mounted
horn only appliances shall have their tops above the finished floors at heights of not less than 90 in. (2.30m) and below the finished ceilings at heights of not less than 6 in. (152mm). Different
mounting heights shall be permitted by the AHJ provided the sound pressure level requirements of NFPA 72 are met.
III. MOUNTING, ROUGH-IN BOX AND RUN WIRING
This unit is designed for mounting to most single gang boxes, 4" square outlet boxes, 2-gang masonry boxes or non-metallic 2-gang switch boxes. Conduit entrance to boxes should be
selected to insure sufficient wiring clearance.
1. Run a minimum 18 gauge insulated 2 or more conductor cable.
2. Mount a box for each remote signaling appliance. Screw bracket onto box. Insert signal into bracket and slide to the right firmly into the terminal block
receptacle. Place housing over mounted assembly and screw together with single screw at the bottom of the signal. Cover screw with plastic tab.
NOTICE: WIRING SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO MOUNTING BRACKET PRIOR TO MOUNTING SIGNAL. INCOMING POSITIVE POWER LEAD MUST BE BROKEN AND EACH LEAD IS
TO BE INSERTED INTO EACH OF THE TOP TWO TERMINALS. IF TWO POWER RUNS ARE MADE TO THE SIGNAL, ONE FOR THE STROBE AND ONE FOR THE HORN, ONLY ONE OF
THE RUNS MUST HAVE ITS POSITIVE LEAD BROKEN AND PLACED UNDER THE TWO SEPARATE TOP TERMINALS. A BARRIER IS PROVIDED TO PREVENT BOTH LEADS FROM
BEING PLACED UNDER THE SAME TERMINAL.
