System Sensor RP12_24ADA Series Retrofit Strobes - Manual (Page 2)

D900-09-00 2 I56-757-02
NOTE: All models can be powered using full wave recti-
fied unfiltered supplies. Under no circumstances
can RP24ADA series devices input voltage exceed
33 VDC or be less than 16 VDC (16-33Vrms for full-
wave rectified, unfiltered supplies). Under no cir-
cumstances can a RP12ADA series device input
voltage exceed 18.7 VDC or be less than 8.5 VDC
(8.5 - 18.7Vrms for full-wave rectified, unfiltered
supplies).
NOTE: The supply voltage rating of the horn musts be
equal to or within the supply voltage rating of the
strobe.
Installation
A. General:
Phillips head screws are used to attach each device or
combination of devices to the electrical outlet box. See
Figures 2 and 3 for wiring methods.
NOTES: Do not loop wires under the terminal screw. Wires
connecting the device to the panel must be broken
at the device terminal connection in order to main-
tain electrical supervision.
The Sounder and/or Strobe will not work without power. The sounder/
strobe gets its power from the fire/security panel monitoring the alarm
system. If power is cut off for any reason, the sounder/strobe will not pro-
vide the desired audio or visual warning.
The Sounder may not be heard. The loudness of the sounder meets (or
exceeds) current Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the
sounder may not alert a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs
or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. The Sounder may not be heard
if it is placed on a different floor from the person in hazard or if placed too
far away to be heard over the ambient noise such as traffic, air condition-
ers, machinery or music appliances that may prevent alert persons from
hearing the alarm. The Sounder may not be heard by persons who are
hearing impaired.
The Signal Strobe may not be seen. The electronic visual warning signal
that flashes at least once every three seconds meets or exceeds current Un-
derwriters Laboratories’ standard 1971 and uses an extremely reliable xe-
non flash tube. The visual warning signal is suitable for direct viewing and
must be installed within an area where it can be seen by building occu-
pants. The strobe must not be installed in direct sunlight or areas of high
light intensity (over 60 foot candles) where the visual flash might be disre-
garded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen by the visually im-
paired.
The signal strobe may cause seizures. Individuals who have a positive
photic response to visual stimuli with seizures, such as epileptics, should
avoid prolonged exposure to environments in which strobe signals, in-
cluding this strobe, are activated.
System Sensor recommends that the Multi-Alert Sounder and Signal
Strobe always be used in combination so that the risks from any of the
above limitations are minimized.
The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies. Coded
power supplies produce interrupted power. The strobe must have an unin-
terrupted source of DC power in order to operate correctly.
WARNING
The Limitations of Sounder/Strobes
The strobe/horn combination is designed for
wall mounting ONLY.
Back boxes must be 4˝ square and at least 1-1/2˝
deep; 2-1/8˝ deep is recommended.
All strobes must be mounted so that the top of the lens is 24
inches (61cm) below ceilings or as required by the authority
having jurisdiction.
B. Mounting:
1. Surface Mount: (See Figure 4)
NOTE: For the strobe to function properly, the horn must
not be more than 1.9˝ deep (see Figure 5).
2. In standard installations the strobe is mounted above
the horn (see Figures 4 and 5). If the strobe is mounted
below the horn, see page 4 for inverted mounting in-
structions
Installation procedures must conform to all applicable codes
and the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
Three-Year Limited Warranty
System Sensor warrants its enclosed sounder/strobe to be free from de-
fects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a
period of three years from date of manufacture. System Sensor makes no
other express warranty for this sounder/strobe. No agent, representative,
dealer, or employee of the Company has the authority to increase or alter
the obligations or limitations of this Warranty. The Company’s obligation
of this Warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement of any part of
the sounder/strobe which is found to be defective in materials or work-
manship under normal use and service during the three year period com-
mencing with the date of manufacture. After phoning System Sensor’s toll
free number 800-SENSOR2 (736-7672) for a Return Authorization number,
