Series HS Horns and Horn Strobes

The HS horn and Horn strobe appliance are ideal choices for retrofit applications as well as new installations. The HS/HS4 satisfy virtually all requirements for indoor, wall and ceiling mount application.

Distributed Architecture

All FC-250 modules operate independently. There is no central operating system, no central point of failure. Processing power is distributed throughout the campus, increasing system survivability, eliminating home-run wiring costs while decreasing downtime due to system maintenance.

Highly Survivable

Since NAC’s and SLC’s are grouped on the same module and events are processed locally, ALM modules will perform local operations even if network communication has been severed. Distributed modules also minimize campus-wide downtime by restricting maintenance to the local module.

HS Series Horn and Horn Strobes include a selectable continuous horn tone or temporal pattern (Code 3) with three selectable dBA settings for each tone. Strobe options include the Wheelock patented MCW Multi-Candela strobe with field selectable candela settings of 15/30/75/110cd or 135/185cd for wall mount and 15/30/75/95cd or 115/177cd for ceiling mount.

The audible/visual notification appliance shall be Series HS4 Horn Strobe and HS Horn Appliances or approved equals. The Series HS4 and HS appliance shall meet ad be listed for UL Standard 1971 (Emergency Devices for the Hearing-Impaired for Indoor Fire Protection Service) and Standard 464 (Fire Protective Signaling). The horn strobe shall be listed for indoor use and shall meet the requirement of FCC Part 15 Class B. All inputs shall be compatible with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). The HS Horn and the audible of the HS4 appliance shall have a minimum of three (3) field selectable settings for dBA levels and shall have a choice of continuous or temporal (Code 3) audible outputs. The strobe portion of the appliance shall produce a flash rate of one (1) flash per second over the Regulated Voltage Range and shall incorporate a Xenon flashtube enclosed in a rugged Lexan ® lens. The horn strobe shall be of low current design. Where wall mount, Multi-Candela appliances are specified, the strobe intensity shall have field selectable settings and shall be rated per UL Standard 1971 for: 15/30/75/110cd or 135/185cd. The selector switch for selecting the candela setting shall be tamper resistant. The 1575 candela strobe shall be specified when 15 candela UL Standard 1971 Listing with 75 candela on-axis is required. Where ceiling mount, multicandela appliances are specified, the strobe intensity shall have field selectable settings and shall be rated per UL standard 1971 for 15/30/75/95cd or 115/177cd. When synchronization is required, the appliance shall be compatible with Wheelock DSM Sync Modules, Wheelock Power Supplies or other manufacturers panels incorporating the Wheelock Patented Sync Protocol. The strobes shall not drift out of synchronization at any time during operation. If the sync module or Power Supply fails to operate, (i.e., contacts remain closed), the strobes shall revert to a non-synchronized flash-rate. All notification appliances shall be backward compatible.
