EMERGENCY

SITUATION,

WHICH

COULD

RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND SERIOUS

INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

General Notes:

•

Strobes are designed to flash at 1 flash per second min-

imum over their “Regulated Voltage Range”.

Note that NFPA-72 specifies a flash rate of 1 to 2

flashes per second and ADA Guidelines specify a flash

rate of 1 to 3 flashes per second.

•

All candela ratings represent minimum effective Strobe

intensity based on UL Standard 1971.

•

Series NS Strobe products are listed under UL Standard

1971 for indoor use with a temperature range of 32°F to

120°F (0°C to 49°C) and max. humidity of 93% (± 2%).

•

“Regulated Voltage Range” is the newest terminology

used by UL to identify the voltage range. Prior to this

change, UL used the terminology “Listed Voltage

Range”.

* RMS current ratings are per UL average RMS method.

UL max current rating is the maximum RMS current within

the listed voltage range (16-33v for 24v units). For strobes

the UL max current is usually at the minimum listed voltage

(16v for 24v units). For unfiltered FWR ratings, see installa-

tion instructions.

**dBA ratings are based on UL testing under UL Standard 1480.

Architect and Engineer Specifications

The speaker appliances shall be Cooper-Wheelock Series

E50 Speakers and the speaker strobe appliances shall be

Cooper-Wheelock

Series

E50

Speaker

Strobes

or

approved equals. The speakers shall be UL Listed under

Standard 1480 for Fire Protective Service and speakers

equipped with strobes shall be listed under UL Standard

1971 for Emergency Devices for the Hearing-Impaired. In

addition, the strobes shall be certified to meet the require-

ments of FCC Part 15, Class B.

All speakers shall be designed for a field selectable input of

either 25 or 70 VRMS, with selectable power taps from 1/8

watt to 2 watts. All models shall have listed sound output of

up to 89 dBA at 10 feet and a listed frequency response of

400 to 4000 Hz. The speaker shall incorporate a sealed

back construction. All inputs shall employ terminals that

accept 12 to 18 AWG wire sizes. The strobe portion of the

appliance shall produce a flash rate of one (1) flash per

second over the regulated voltage range and shall be of

low current design. Where Multi Candela Speaker Strobes

are specified, the strobe intensity shall have field select-

able settings and shall be rated per UL Standard 1971 at

15/30/75/110cd or 135/185cd for wall mounting. The selec-

tor switch for selecting the candela shall be tamper resis-

tant. The 15/75 candela strobe shall be specified when 15

candela UL Standard 1971 Listing with 75 candela -on-axis

is required.

When synchronization is required, the strobe portion of the

appliance shall be compatible with the Cooper-Wheelock’s

SM-12/24-R and/or DSM-12/24-R modules. The strobes

shall not drift out of synchronization at any time during

operation. If the sync modules or power supply fails to

operate, (i.e., contacts remain closed), the strobe shall

revert to a non-synchronized flash rate.

The speaker and speaker strobe appliances shall be

designed for indoor flush mounting to 4” x 2-1/8”

(10.2 x

5.5.cm) electrical boxes without need for an extension ring

or surface mounting to Cooper-Wheelock’s E50SB or

E50SSB surface boxes. The speaker and speaker strobe

shall incorporate a speaker mounting plate with a snap-on

grille cover. The finish of the Series E50 speakers and

speakers strobes shall be white or red.
