Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL:
Series HS4-24MCWH and HS4-MCCH Multi-High-Candela Horn Strobes provide two selectable candela settings (135/185 and 115/177 respectively). These models allow
for independent operation of the strobe circuit and the horn circuit. It is the ideal choice for retrofit applications as well as new installations. These models are UL Listed
under Standard 1971 for Signaling Appliances for the Hearing Impaired and UL Standard 464 for Audible Signal Appliances. HS4 models are listed for indoor use only and
can be mounted to double-gang, 4" backbox, 100mm European backbox or SHBB surface backbox (See wiring and mounting information). The HS4-24MCWH appliance is
listed for wall mounting only. HS4-24MCCH appliance is listed for ceiling mounting only. The HS4-Multi-High Candela appliances use a xenon flashtube with solid state
circuitry enclosed in a polycarbonate lens to provide maximum visibility and reliability for effective visible signaling.
The horn portion of the HS4 appliance can be field set to provide either a continuous horn when connected directly to the fire alarm control panel (FACP), or a synchronized
code 3 horn when used in conjunction with the Sync Module (SM), Dual Sync Module (DSM) or Wheelock power supplies. The horn can be field set to provide either high
(HI) dBA, medium (MED) dBA or low (LO) dBA sound output.
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 evacuation signaling and not for any other purpose.
These models are designed for use with either filtered DC or unfiltered full-wave-rectified (FWR) input voltage. All inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse
polarity supervision of circuit wiring by an FACP.
WARNING: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS, 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.
SPECIFICATIONS:
NOTES:
1. The strobe will produce 1 flash per second over the "Regulated Voltage" range.
2. This horn/strobe model meets the required light distribution patterns defined in UL1971.
These models are Listed for indoor use with a temperature range of +32°F to +120°F (0°C to +49°C) and maximum humidity of 93% ± 2% RH. The effect of shipping
3.
and storage temperatures shall not adversely affect the performance of the appliance when it is stored in the original cartons and not subjected to misuse or abuse.
WARNING: CANDELA SETTING WILL DETERMINE THE CURRENT DRAW OF THE PRODUCT.
When calculating the total current: Use Tables 3 & 3A to determine the highest value of "RMS Current" for an individual HS4 then multiply the value by the total number of
HS4 Appliances. Be sure to add the currents for any other appliances powered by the same source and to include any required safety factors.
NOTE: The maximum number of strobes on a single notification appliance circuit shall not exceed 50.
CAUTION: These notification appliances are UL Listed as "Regulated". They are intended to be used with FACPs whose notification circuits are UL Listed as
"Regulated." These appliances shall not be used on UL Listed "Special Application" notification circuits unless the appliances are identified to be compatible in the installation
instructions of the FACP or unless the FACP is identified to be compatible in this instruction manual.
WARNING: FOR UL APPLICATIONS, THESE APPLIANCES WERE TESTED TO THE REGULATED VOLTAGE LIMITS OF 16.0-33.0 VOLTS FOR 24V MODELS
USING FILTERED DC OR UNFILTERED FULL-WAVE-RECTIFIED VOLTAGE. DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE OUTSIDE OF THIS RANGE.
