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), Dual Sync
Module (DSM) or Power Supply (PS-12/24-8). The Series RSS and RSSP Strobe Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971
(Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired) for indoor fire protection service. 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.
NOTE: All CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are identified by the symbol
WARNING: THE RSS STROBE APPLIANCE IS A "FIRE ALARM DEVICE - DO NOT PAINT."
WARNING: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER APPLICATION,
INSTALLATION AND/OR OPERATION OF THESE PRODUCTS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, WHICH COULD
