Factory setting is on 15 candela, Medium dB and Code 3. 

WARNING:  THE CANDELA SELECT SWITCH MUST BE FIELD SET TO THE REQUIRED CANDELA INTENSITY BEFORE INSTALLATION.  

WHEN CHANGING THE SETTING OF THE CANDELA SELECT SWITCH, MAKE CERTAIN THAT IT “CLICKS” IN PLACE.  AFTER CHANGING THE 
CANDELA SETTING, THE APPLIANCE MUST BE RETESTED TO VERIFY PROPER OPERATION.

• 

Use needle nose pliers to pull and properly insert the jumper 
plug.

 

• 

No jumper plug is needed for continuous horn setting.  
However, it is recommended that the jumper plug be retained 
in the unit for future use (if needed) as shown in Figure 3.

 

• 

The HS-MC must be set for Code 3 (or March Time)  horn 
when used with the sync module.  If the HS-MC audible is 
connected to a coded system,  the continuous horn setting 
must be used.

• 

HS-MC Appliances have in-out wiring terminals that accepts two #12 to #18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at each 
screw terminal.  Strip leads 3/8” inches for connection to screw terminals. 

• 

Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuit supervision as shown in Figure 5.  The polarity shown in the wiring 
diagrams is for the operation of the appliances.  The polarity is reversed by the FACP during supervision. 

 

The following figures (A-D) 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.
