0 <br />Architect and Engineer Specifications <br />The speaker appliances shall be Wheelock Series E Speakers <br />and the speaker strobe appliances shall be Wheelock Series E <br />Speaker Strobes or approved equals. The speakers shall be UL <br />Listed under Standard 1480 for Fire Protective Service and <br />speakers equipped with strobes shall be listed under UL Stan- <br />dard 1971 for Emergency Devices for the Hearing -Impaired. In <br />addition, the strobes shall be certified to meet the requirements <br />of FCC Part 15, Class B. <br />All speakers shall be designed for a field selectable input of <br />either 25 or 70 VRMS, with selectable power taps from 1/8 watt <br />to 2 watts. All models shall have listed sound output of up to 87 <br />dB at 10 feet and a listed frequency response of 400 to 4000 Hz. <br />The speaker shall also incorporate a sealed back construction. <br />All inputs shall employ terminals that accept #12 to #18 AWG <br />wire sizes. The strobe portion of the appliance shall produce a <br />flash rate of one (1) flash per second over the Regulated Volt- <br />age Range and shall incorporate a Xenon flashtube enclosed in <br />a rugged Lexan® lens. The strobe shall be of low current <br />design. Where Multi -Candela Speaker Strobes are specified, <br />the strobe intensity shall have field selectable settings and shall <br />be rated per UL Standard 1971 at 15/30175/110cd or 135/185cd <br />for wall mount and 15/30/75/95cd or 115/177cd for ceiling <br />mount. The selector switch for selecting the candela shall be <br />tamper resistant. The 1575 candela strobe shall be specified <br />when 15 candela UL Standard 1971 Listing with 75 candela on - <br />axis is required (e.g. ADA compliance). When synchronization is <br />required, the strobe portion of the appliance shall be compatible <br />with Wheelock's SM, DSM sync modules or the power supply <br />with built-in Patented Wheelock Sync Protocol. The strobes <br />shall not drift out of synchronization at any time during opera- <br />tion. If the sync module or Power Supply fails to operate, (i.e., <br />contacts remain closed), the strobe shall revert to a non -syn- <br />chronized flash rate. <br />The speaker and speaker strobe appliances shall be designed <br />for indoor surface or flush mounting. The speaker and speaker <br />strobe shall incorporate a speaker mounting plate with a grille <br />cover which is secured with two screws for a level, aesthetic fin- <br />ish and shall mount to standard electrical hardware requiring no <br />additional trimplate or adapter. <br />The finish of the Series E speakers and strobe speakers shall be <br />white, red, or nickel plate. <br />All speaker and speaker strobe appliances shall be backward <br />compatible. <br />Wheelock products must be used within their published specifi- <br />cations and must be PROPERLY specified, applied, installed, <br />operated, maintained and operationally tested in accordance <br />with their installation instructions at the time of installation and at <br />least twice a year or more often and in accordance with local, <br />state and federal codes, regulations and laws. Specification, <br />application, installation, operation, maintenance and testing <br />must be performed by qualified personnel for proper operation in <br />accordance with all of the latest National Fire Protection Associ- <br />ation (NFPA), Underwriters' Laboratories (UL), National Electri- <br />cal Code (NEC), Occupational Safety and Health Administration <br />(OSHA), local, state, county, province, district, federal and other <br />applicable building and fire standards, guidelines, regulations, <br />laws and codes including, but not limited to, all appendices and <br />amendments and .the requirements of the local authority having <br />jurisdiction (AHJ). <br />Warning: <br />• Current required by all appliances connected to system sec- <br />ondary power sources. <br />• Fuse ratings on notification appliance circuits to handle peak <br />currents from all appliances on those circuits. <br />• Composite flash rate from multiple strobes within a person's <br />field of view. <br />• Adding, replacing or changing appliances or changing can- <br />dela settings will affect current draw. <br />• Recalculate current draw to insure that the total average cur- <br />rent and total peak required by all appliances do not exceed <br />the rated capacity of the power sources or fuses. <br />• The voltage applied to these products must be within their <br />"regulated voltage range". <br />• Installation of 110 candela strobe products in sleeping areas. <br />• Installation in office areas and other specification and instal- <br />lation issues. <br />• Use strobes only on circuits with continuously applied operat- <br />ing voltage. Do not use strobes on coded or interrupted cir- <br />cuits in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off as the <br />strobes may not flash. <br />• Failure to comply with the installation instructions or general <br />information sheets could result in improper installation, appli- <br />cation, and/or operation of these products in an emergency <br />situation, which could result in property damage and serious <br />injury or death to you and/or others. <br />• Conductor size (awg), length and ampacity should be taken <br />into consideration prior to design and installation of these <br />products, particularly in retrofit installations. <br />Agency Listings and Approvals <br />• UL Listed: S2652 (Speakers); S2652 / S5391 (Strobe/Speak- <br />ers) <br />• California State Fire Marshall: 7320-0785:134 (Speakers); <br />7125-0785:145 , 7125-0785:152 (Strob/Speakers) <br />• MEA: 151-92-E Vol. 21 <br />df-51762:a • 3/25/09 —(Pape 3 of 4 <br />
