GENERAL:

Wheelock's Series RSSWP Strobes can provide a non-synchronized strobe signal when connected directly to a Fire Alarm Control
Panel (FACP), or provide a synchronized strobe signal when used in conjunction with a Sync Module (SM), Dual Sync Module
(DSM), or Wheelock's Power Supplies. The RSSWP strobe appliance is UL Listed under Standard 1638 (Visual Signaling
Appliances) for indoor/outdoor use, fire protective service. The Series RSSWP Strobe Appliances are also ULC Listed under
Standard CAN/ULC-S526-02 for Visual Signaling Appliances. The strobe has a 75 candela intensity on axis at -35 o C and low
current draw. For outdoor applications the RSSWP must be wall mounted to a Weatherproof Backbox (WPSBB). 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 a FACP.
