MOUNTING PROCEDURES: 
 

1.  This HS-MC model can be flush mounted to a 100mm 

backbox (Figure A) or double-gang backbox (Figure B).  
It can also be surface mounted to a indoor/outdoor 
backbox (Figures C & D).  Mounting hardware for each 
mounting option is supplied. 

2.  Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to 

provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed 
product.  Do not pass additional wires (used for other 
than the signaling appliance) through the backbox.  Such 
additional wires could result in insufficient wiring space 
for the signaling appliance. 

3.  When terminating field wires, do not use more lead 

length than required.  Excess lead length could result in 
insufficient wiring space for the appliance. 

4.  Use care and proper techniques to position the field wires 

in the backbox so that they use minimum space and 
produce minimum stress on the product.  This is 
especially important for stiff, heavy gauge wires and 
wires with thick insulation or sheathing. 

5.  Connect field wires to the HS-MC terminal block (polarity 

must be observed).  Bend the field wires up 90

°

 at the 

connection to the terminal block. 

6.  Carefully push the field wires into the backbox by hand.  

Press the HS-MC to the backbox, verifying that it is 
seated and aligned correctly. 

7.  Fasten the HS-MC to the backbox using the supplied 

screws.   

 

 

 
 
The HS-MC 110cd setting is Listed for use in sleeping or non-sleeping areas when installed in accordance with appropriate NFPA Standards and the 
AHJ. 
 

WARNING: A SMALL POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT THE USE OF MULTIPLE STROBES WITHIN A PERSON'S FIELD OF VIEW, UNDER 

CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, MIGHT INDUCE A PHOTO-SENSITIVE RESPONSE IN PERSONS WITH EPILEPSY.  STROBE REFLECTIONS IN A 
GLASS OR MIRRORED SURFACE MIGHT ALSO INDUCE SUCH A RESPONSE.  TO MINIMIZE THIS POSSIBLE HAZARD, SIEMENS STRONGLY 
RECOMMENDS THAT THE STROBES INSTALLED SHOULD NOT PRESENT A COMPOSITE FLASH RATE IN THE FIELD OF VIEW WHICH 
EXCEEDS FIVE Hz AT THE OPERATING VOLTAGE OF THE STROBES. SIEMENS ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE INTENSITY AND 
COMPOSITE FLASH RATE OF INSTALLED STROBES COMPLY WITH LEVELS ESTABLISHED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, STANDARDS, 
REGULATIONS, CODES AND GUIDELINES. 
 
NOTE:

  This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital appliance, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  These 

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installation.  This equipment generates, uses and can 
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio 
communications.  However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.  If this equipment does cause harmful 
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the following measures:  1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna,  2) Increase the separation between the 
equipment and receiver,  3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected, and  4) Consult the 
dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
