GENERAL
Wheelock's Series RSS 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
Power Supply (PS-12/24-8 UL Only). The Series RSS Strobe Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971 (Emergency Devices
for the Hearing Impaired) for Indoor Fire Protection Service. The Series RSS Strobe Appliances are also ULC Listed under Standard
CAN/ULC-S526-M87 for Visual Signaling Appliances. These Strobe models are listed for ceiling 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 a FACP.
