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 E Speaker Strobes and Series E Speakers 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 maximum humidity of 85%. “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”. Engineering’s Specifications The chime appliances shall be Wheelock Series CH Chimes and the chime strobe appliances shall be Wheelock Series CH Chime Strobes or approved equals. The chime shall be UL Listed under Standard 464 for Audible Signal Appliances and chimes 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 requirements of FCC Part 15, Class B and shall incorporate low temperature compensation to ensure the lowest possible current consumption. All chimes shall use solid state components and shall provide field selectable single stroke or vibrating operation with volume control and tone control. All models shall have a peak Anechoic sound output of 83 dB at 10 feet and an adjustable frequency range of 800 to 1200 Hz. 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 incorporate a Xenon flashtube enclosed in a rugged Lexan® lens. The strobe shall be of low current design. Where Multi-Candela Chime Strobes are specified, the strobe intensity shall have a minimum of four (4) field selectable settings and shall be rated per UL Standard 1971 at: 15/30/75/110cd or 135/185cd for wall mount and 15/30/75/95cd or 115/177cd for ceiling mount. The selector switch for selecting the candela shall be tamper resistant and not accessible from the front of the appliance. The 1575 candela strobe shall be specified when 15 candela UL Standard 1971 listing with 75 candela on-axis is required (e.g. ADA compliance).

The chimes are factory set in single stroke (SS) mode. They can be changed to vibrating (VIB) mode with jumper on PC Board. SINGLE STROKE OPERATION: The minimum input pulse duration must be at least 160 ms “on” time and 160 ms “off” time. The chime will only operate once each time it is pulsed. This mode is recommended for coded systems. VIBRATING OPERATION: Continuous input voltage applied to the chime will activate the chime at one-second intervals. 2. The volume and tone controls have been adjusted at the factory to insure maximum dBA output. However, once the mode is selected, the installer may want to fine-tune the signal to better suit the application. 3. Anechoic dBA is measured in an anechoic chamber with peak meter response. Reverberant dBA is rated per UL Standard 464. 4. Chime inrush current is 0.100 amps maximum with filtered DC input (0.140 amps with VRMS input voltage) with a time duration of 100 milliseconds.
