GENERAL:

Wheelock'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) or a Dual
Sync Module (DSM). 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 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 rugged Lexan 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.
