Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL
The Cooper Wheelock Exceder Series HN-C Horn, ST-C Strobe, and HS-C Horn/Strobe Appliances are designed for easy installation. All models
are for 12V or 24V operation. The appliance comes in two main parts. The universal mounting back plate allows the the ceiling appliance to be
mounted to a single gang, double gang, 4-inch square, 4-inch octagon, or a 3 ½-inch octagon backbox. Two-wire appliance wiring is then con-
nected to the mounting back plate. This allows a continuity check of the entire NAC circuit before any appliances are attached. It also allows the
appliances to be installed after all finish work has been completed. The installer can snap or install the appliances when all other work is complete.
WARNING: Please read these instructions carefully before using this product. Failure to comply with any of the following instruc-
tions, cautions and warnings could result in improper application, candela setting, installation and/or operation of these products
in an emergency situation, which could result in property damage and serious injury or death to you and/or others.

STROBE AND HORN STROBE APPLIANCES
Cooper Notification's Exceder 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 an FACP that incorporates the
Wheelock sync protocol, a Wheelock Sync Module, or the Wheelock Power Supply. The Strobe Appliances are UL Listed under Standard
1971 (Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired) for indoor Fire Protection Service. They are listed for indoor use only. Cooper Notifica-
tion's Exceder Horn Appliances provide a selectable Continuous or Code 3 Horn tone when connected directly to the Fire Alarm Control
Panel (FACP). They can also provide a synchronized Code 3 Horn tone when used in conjunction with an FACP that incorporates the
Wheelock sync protocol, a Wheelock Sync Module, or the Wheelock Power Supply. The Horn Appliances can be field set for High (HI),
Medium (MED), or Low (LO) dBA sound output. The Horn Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 464 for Audible Signal Appliances.
They are listed for indoor use only. All models are designed for use with either filtered DC (VDC) or unfiltered Full-Wave-Rectified (V
input voltage. All inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by an FACP. The ST-C
Strobe, HS-C Horn/Strobe, and the HN-C Horn are for 12V or 24V operation. Strobe devices for 12V are only approved by UL to be set at
15cd and only to be powered by DC not FWR.
NOTE: The HN-C may be used on both wall and ceiling applications.
NOTE: The Code 3 temporal pattern (1/2 second on, 1/2 second off, 1/2 second on, 1/2 second off, 1/2 second on, 1-1/2 off and repeat)
is specified by ANSI and NFPA 72 for standard emergency evacuation signaling. The Code 3 Horn should be used only for fire evacua-
tion signaling and not for any other purpose.
