General Description
The new model RP12/24ADA Series Retrofit Plate allows
adding an ADA compliant visible notification appliance to
most existing 4 or 5 inch square horns or speakers. All
RP12/24ADA Series Strobe Retrofit Plates are suitable for
primary signaling in public mode life safety applications.
The Strobe Retrofit Plates can be connected to the alarm
indicating circuit of a UL listed fire alarm control panel.
They are compatible with DC line supervision. Panels may
have full-wave rectified, unfiltered power supplies. The
Strobe Retrofit Plates are available for 24VDC operation or
12VDC operation. The strobe features low current draw
with no measurable in-rush in excess of peak current. The
Strobe Retrofit Plate is intended for wall mounting only to
a 4″ square electrical backbox.

A polar light distribution in both horizontal and vertical directions is mandated for the strobes by the Standard UL 1971 for the Hearing Impaired, with
specific minimum intensity percentages as shown in the graphs above. With its specially designed lens/reflector system, the RP12/24ADA Strobe
Retrofit Plate Series meets or exceeds these requirements at all angles.
