Cooper-Wheelock AS/AH Series Single & Multi-Candela AS Series Audible Strobe & AH Series Audible Appliances Description The 2-wire Cooper-Wheelock AS Series audible/ visual and AH Series audible notification appliances offer many features with low current draws. Strobe options for wall-mounted models include 15/75 cd or field-selectable Multi-Candela strobes that may be set to 15, 30, 75, or 110 cd. Ceiling mounted models incorporate field-selected strobe settings of 15, 30, 75 or 95 cd. The audible notification appliances provide a fieldselectable choice of either a continuous horn tone or temporal pattern (per ANSI S3.41) when constant voltage is supplied by the notification appliance circuit. Each tone has three dBA settings to choose from. Additionally, the audible tone may be silenced while maintaining strobe activation. All models may be synchronized when the models are used in conjunction with the Cooper-Wheelock SM and DSM Sync Modules. The synchronization of the continuous horn tone provides the temporal pattern mandated by NFPA 72 for fire evacuation signaling. This ensures a clearly distinguishable temporal pattern when two or more audible devices are within hearing distance. If the horn tones are not synchronized, the temporal patterns may overlap. At the same time, the strobes will also be synchronized. This process is in compliance with ADA recommendations regarding photosensitive epilepsy and NFPA and UFC standards required when installing two or more visual appliances within a common field of view.

C1 page 1 of 4 Description (Continued) General Notes: • Strobes are designed to flash at one flash per second minimum over the Regulated Voltage Range. Note that NFPA-72 (1999) specifies a flash rate of one to two flashes per second and ADA guidelines specify a flash rate of one to three flashes per second. • All candela ratings represent minimum effective strobe intensity based on UL Standard 1971. • Series AS 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 a maximum humidity of 93% (+/- 2%). • Series AH horns are Listed under UL Standard 464 for audible signal appliances (indoor use only). • Series AH-24WP audible appliances are Listed under UL Standard 464 for indoor/outdoor use with a temperature range of –31° F to 150° F (-35° C to 66° C) and a maximum humidity of 95%. • “Regulated Voltage Range” is the state-of-the-art technology used by UL to identify the voltage range. Prior to this technology, UL used the term, “Listed Voltage Range.” Table 1: Ratings per UL 1971 Input Voltage VDC Model AS-24MCW-FA 24 AS-241575W-FR 24 AS-121575W-FR 12 AS-24M C C –FW 24 Regulated Voltage Range VDC/FW R 160-330 160-330 80-175 160-330 Strobe Candela (cd) 15/30/75/110 15 (75 or Axis) 15 (75 or Axis) 15/30 /75 /95 AS WP-2475W-FR 160-330 75 @ -31° F 24 Table 2: Average RMS Current* fir AS-24 MCW WallModels @ each Candela Setting Average Current with High dBA Setting (99 dBA) Voltage 15 cd 30 cd 75 cd 110 cd 16.0 VDC 0.099 0.135 0.219 0.308 24.0 VDC 0.093 0.114 0.157 0.197 33.0 VDC 0.098 0.108 0.138 0.166 Average Current with Medium dBA Setting (95 dBA) 16.0 VDC 0.078 0.116 0.203 0.282 24.0 VDC 0.065 0.088 0.133 0.179 33.0 VDC 0.065 0.078 0.106 0.134 Average Current with Low dBA Setting (90dBA) 16.0 VDC 0.070 0.111 0.201 0.279 24.0 VDC 0.052 0.077 0.126 0.169 33.0 VDC 0.046 0.063 0.063 0.121 Table 3: Average Mean Current * Series AH-24R/W & AH-12-R/W * W P (Horn only) Voltage High Medium 16.0 VDC 0.035 0.020 24.0 VDC 0.050 0.026 33.0 VDC 0.089 0.035 8.0 VDC 0.093 0.037 12.0 VDC 0.108 0.049 17.5 VDC 0.128 0.069 Low 0.14 0.017 0.021 0.080 0.085 0.042 Table 4: Avereage RM* Current Series AS0241575 Voltage High Medium Low 16.0 VDC 0.130 0.114 0.108 24.0 VDC 0.107 0.085 0.075 33.0 VDC 0.105 0.075 0.060 Table 5:dBA Ratings for 12 VDC & 24 VDC Series AS/AH 12 & 24 VDC Horns Reverberant dBA per UL 464 @ Description Volumn 10 pt.

C1 page 3 of 4 Architects and Engineers Specifications The notification appliances shall be Cooper-Wheelock Series AS audible/strobe appliances and Series AH audible appliances or approved equals. The Series AS appliance shall be listed under UL Standard 1971 (Emergency Devices for the Hearing Impaired) for indoor Fire Protection Service. The Series AH Audible shall be UL Listed under Standard 464 (Fire Protective Signaling). Both shall meet the requirements of FCC Part 15 Class B. All inputs shall be compatible with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a fire alarm control panel (FACP). The audible portion of the appliance shall have a minimum of three (3) field selectable settings for dBA levels and shall have a choice of continuous or temporal pattern audible output. 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 series AS shall be of low current design. Where MultiCandela appliances 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, and 110 candela for wall mount, or 15, 30, 75, and 95 candela for ceiling mount. The selector switch for selecting the candela shall be tamper resistant and not accessible from the front of the appliance. The 15/75 candela strobe shall be specified when 15 cd UL Standard 1971 Listing with 75 cd on-axis is required (e.g. ADA compliance). When synchronization is required, the appliance shall be compatible with Cooper-Wheelock’s SM and DSM Sync Modules. The strobes shall not drift out of synchronization at any time during operation. If the sync module fails to operate, i.e. contacts remain closed), the strobe shall revert to a non-synchronized flash-rate. The appliance shall also be designed so that the audible signal may be silenced while maintaining strobe activation. The Series AS audible/strobe and Series AH audible shall incorporate a patented universal mounting plate that shall allow mounting on a single-gang, double-gang, 4-inch square, 100 mm European type backbox, or the SHBB surface backbox. If required, an NATP (Notification Appliance Trimplate) shall be provided. All notification appliances shall be backward compatible.
