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.

- Page 3 Although the limits shown for each mounting option comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC), Wheelock recommends use of the largest backbox option shown and the use of approved stranded field wires, whenever possible, to provide additional wiring room for easy installation and minimum stress on the product from wiring.
- Page 4 MOUNTING PROCEDURES: Use this mounting procedure to position the field wires in the backbox so that they use minimum space and produce minimum stress on the product. This is especially important for stiff, heavy gauge wires and wires with thick insulation or sheathing. 1.
