Specifications

General Notes:

1) Mini-Horn models are Listed for indoor use with a

temperature range of 32° F to 120° F (0° C to 49°

C) and maximum humidity of 85% RH.

2) Rated input voltage (either filtered DC or unfil-

tered full-wave-rectified FWR): 24 VDC MIZ

Series Signals are UL Listed over a voltage range

from 20 VDC to 31 VDC. Check the minimum and

maximum output of the power supply and standby

battery and subtract the voltage drop from the cir-

cuit wiring resistance to determine the applied

voltage to the strobes.

Although UL Testing has verified that these products

function even at 80% of their minimum rating and

11% of their maximum rating, Cooper-Wheelock

strongly recommends that the voltage applied to

these products be within their rated input voltage

range. The application of improper voltage may result

in degraded operation or damage to these products.

Contact Cooper-Wheelock for installation instructions

and general information sheets for these products.

These materials contain important information that

should be read prior to specifying or installing these

products, including:

• Total current required by all devices connected to

system primary and secondary power sources.

• Fuse ratings for notification appliance circuits to

handle maximum inrush or peak currents from all

devices on those circuits.

Wiring Diagram (all models):

Warning: Do NOT loop wires; use “In-and-Out” wiring

method.

Mounting Notes

The mounting options reference the maximum num-

ber 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.

Although the limits given for each mounting option

comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Cooper-Wheelock recommends the use of the larg-

est backbox option shown and the use of approved

stranded field wires, whenever possible, to provide

additional wiring room for easy installation and mini-

mum stress on the product from wiring.

Architect and Engineer Specifications

The notification appliance shall be a Cooper-Whee-

lock MIZ Series audible device or approved equiva-

lent. Notification appliance shall be electronic and

use solid state components. Electromechanical alter-

natives are not approved. Each sound pressure mea-

surement at 10 feet shall be 90 dBA minimum at 24

VDC and 88 dBA minimum at 12 VDC. Operating

voltage is 24 VDC using filtered power or unfiltered

power supply (full-wave-rectified). All models shall

have provisions for standard reverse-polarity type

supervision and IN/OUT field wiring using terminals

that accept 12 to 18 AWG wiring.

• The horn appliances may be installed indoors for

surface or flush mounting. They shall be mounted

on standard electrical hardware, requiring no addi-

tional trimplate or adapter.

Cooper-Wheelock products must be used within their pub-

lished specifications and must be PROPERLY specified,

applied, installed, operated, maintained and operationally

tested in accordance with their installation instructions at

the time of installation and at least twice a year or more

often and in accordance with local, state and federal codes,

regulations and laws. Specification, application, installation,

operation, maintenance and testing must be performed by

qualified personnel for proper operation in accordance with

all of the latest National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA), Underwriters’ Laboratories (UL), National Electri-

cal Code (NEC), Occupational Safety and Health Adminis-

tration (OSHA), local, state, county, province, district,

federal and other applicable building and fire standards,

guidelines, regulations, laws and codes including, but not

limited to, all appendices and amendments and the

requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction

(AHJ).
