Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL:
Wheelock's Series RSSR 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 Wheelock's PS-12/24-8 Power Supply with
patented sync protocol. The RSSR Strobe appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1638 for Emergency Devices. The RSSR-2415C, RSSR-2475C and RSSR-
24110C strobes are intended for ceiling mount only and the RSSR-2415W, RSSR-2475W and RSSR-24110W strobes are intended for wall mount only, with the
backboxes specified in these instructions (See Mounting Options). The RSSR 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 strobe uses a xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry
enclosed in a polycarbonate 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 an FACP.
WARNING:
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER APPLICATION, 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.

NOTES:
1.
Strobes will produce 1 flash per second over the "Regulated Voltage" range.
2.
All models are for indoor use with a temperature range of +32°F to +120°F (0°C to +49°C) and maximum humidity of 85% RH. The effect of shipping
and storage temperatures shall not adversely affect the performance of the appliance when it is stored in the original cartons and is not subjected to misuse
or abuse.

When calculating the total currents use Table 3 to determine the highest value of RMS current for an individual strobe, then multiply these values by the total number of
strobes. Be sure to add the currents for any other appliances, including audible signaling 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.
