WARNING:  CHECK THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM OUTPUT OF THE POWER SUPPLY AND STANDBY BATTERY AND SUBTRACT THE 

VOLTAGE DROP FROM THE CIRCUIT WIRING RESISTANCE TO DETERMINE THE APPPLIED VOLTAGE TO THE STROBES.  THE MAXIMUM 
WIRE IMPEDANCE BETWEEN STROBES SHALL NOT EXCEED 35 OHMS.   

 

CAUTION:  

Strobes are not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off. 

 

WARNING:  MAKE SURE THAT THE TOTAL RMS CURRENT REQUIRED BY ALL APPLIANCES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE 

SYSTEM’S PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POWER SOURCES, NOTIFICATION APPLICIANCE CIRCUITS, SM, DSM SYNC MODULES, OR 
COOPER NOTIFICATION POWER SUPPLIES DOES NOT EXCEED THE POWER SOURCES’ RATED CAPACITY OR THE CURRENT RATINGS OF 
ANY FUSES ON THE CIRCUITS TO WHICH THESE APPLIANCES ARE WIRED.  OVERLOADING POWER SOURCES OR EXCEEDING FUSE 
RATINGS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER AND FAILURE TO ALERT OCCUPANTS DURING AN EMERGENCY, WHICH COULD RESULT 
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

 

 
WIRING AND MOUNTING INFORMATION: 

 

CAUTION:  

The following figures show the maximum number of field wires (conductors) that can enter the backbox used with each mounting option.  If these 

limits are exceeded, there may be insufficient space in the backbox to accommodate the field wires and stresses from the wires could damage the product.  Check that 
the installed product will have sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and conduit, especially if sheathed multiconductor cable or 3/4" 
conduit fittings are used. 

 

Although the limits shown for each mounting option comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC), Cooper Notification recommends use of the largest backbox 
option shown and the use of approved stranded field wires, whenever possible, to provide additional wiring room for easy installation and minimum stress on the 
product from wiring.

1.  This model has in-out wiring terminals that accept two #12 to #18 

American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at each screw terminal. 

2.  Strip leads 3/8 inches and connects to screw terminals. Break all 

in-out wire runs on supervised circuits to assure integrity of circuit 
supervision as shown in Figure 2.  The polarity shown in the 
wiring diagrams is for operation of the appliances.  

*  Refer to Sync Module instruction sheets SM (P83123), DSM (P83177) or Cooper Notification Power Supplies for additional information. 

 

GROUNDING:  

Connect ground wire to backbox.  Install signaling appliance to backbox using mounting screws provided. 

 

WARNING:  CHECK ELECTRICAL RATINGS SPECIFIED IN TABLES 1 AND 2 (AS APPROPRIATE) TO ENSURE PROPER ELECTRICAL 

INPUT.  BE SURE THAT SPEAKER WIRING IS CONNECTED TO SPEAKER TERMINALS ONLY AND STROBE WIRING IS CONNECTED TO 
STROBE TERMINALS ONLY.  CHECK TO INSURE THAT WIRING AT FACP IS CORRECT.  IMPROPER ELECTRICAL INPUT CAN DAMAGE 
THE PRODUCT OR CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO 
YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
