There are field-configurable options for selecting dB output, horn signal, or strobe signal output. See Figure 1.

The strobe includes a field-configurable switch for selecting the desired candela output. The candela output setting is locked in place and remains visible after final installation. See Figure 2.

This strobe features an enhanced synchronization circuit to comply with the latest requirements of UL 1971 Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired and the latest Canadian standard CAN/ULC-S526. Synchronized operation requires a separately installed synchronization control module. See Table 2 for a list of compatible synchronization modules.

Installation

Install this device in accordance with applicable requirements in the latest editions of the NFPA codes and standards; the National Building Code of Canada; the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, Section 32, and in accordance with the local authorities having jurisdiction.

WARNING: Electrocution hazard. To avoid personal injury or death from electrocution, remove all sources of power and allow stored energy to discharge before installing or removing equipment.

Caution: Electrical supervision requires breaking the wire run at each terminal. Do not loop the signaling circuit field wires around the terminals.

To install the horn-strobe:

• 1. Remove the cover by depressing both tabs on the top of the unit with a small screwdriver and twisting slightly.
• 2. Set the horn signal, sound output level, and strobe signal to the desired settings. See Figure 1.
  • To change the strobe to temporal (private mode), cut from circle J1 to the edge of circuit board.
  • To change the horn signal from temporal to steady, cut from circle J2 to the edge of circuit board.
  • To change the horn output level from high dB to low dB, cut the J3 trace between the holes.
• 3. Slide the candela switch to the desired candela output by aligning it with the indicator located left of the switch. See Figure 2.
• 4. Connect the strobe terminals to the signal circuit field wiring. You must observe polarity for the unit to function properly. See Figure 3.
• 5. Mount the unit onto a compatible electrical box, making sure not to overtighten the mounting screws.
• 6. Replace the cover by aligning it at the bottom, then snapping it in at the top.
• 7. Test the unit for proper operation.

• 3. J3: dB sound output

Note: If the strobe is set to temporal (private mode), this device is no longer UL 1971 listed and FM Approved but is UL 1638 listed.

Note: Polarity is shown in the alarm condition.

Maintenance

Caution: To maintain the required agency listings, do not change factory applied finishes.

This unit is not serviceable or repairable. Should the unit fail to operate, contact the supplier for replacement.

Perform a visual inspection and an operational test twice a year or as directed by the local authority having jurisdiction.
