Description:
The Wheelock Exceder Series of notification appliances feature
a sleek modern design that will please building owners with reduced - Save up to 48% in current draw*
total cost of ownership. Installers will benefit from its comprehensive
feature list, including the most candela options in one appliance,
low current draw, no tools needed for setting changes, voltage test - Up to 9 models now in 1 appliance
points, 12/24 VDC operation, universal mounting base and multiple
mounting options for both new and retrofit construction. up , 4 % installation**
- Save u to cost of installation
The Wheelock® Exceder Series incorporates high reliability and
high efficiency optics to minimize current draw allowing for a greater
number of appliances on the notification appliance circuit. All strobe yy,���
models feature an industry first of 8 candela settings on a single � Sleek Modern Aesthetics
appliance. Models with an audible feature 3 sound settings (90, 95, ®
99 dB). All switches to change settings, can be set without the use
of a tool and are located behind the appliance to prevent tampering. ! Finger Slide Switches
Wall models feature voltage test points to take readings with a
voltage meter for troubleshooting and AHJ inspection.
kij The Wheelock® Exceder Series of wall and ceiling notification Voltage Test Points
appliances feature a Universal Mounting Base (UMB) designed
to simplify the installation and testing of horns, strobes, and
combination horn strobes. The separate universal mounting VDC Multiple Voltages
base can be pre -wired to allow full testing of circuit wiring before
the appliance is installed and the surface is finished. It comes
complete with a Contact Cover for protection against dirt, dust, paint 3 Audible Settings
and damage to the contacts. The Contact Cover also acts as a 90, 95, ss dB
shunting device to allow pre -wire testing for common wiring issues.
The Contact Cover is polarized to prevent it from being installed
incorrectly and prevents the appliance from being installed while 8 Candela Settings
it is on the UMB. When the Contact Cover is removed the circuit Wall - 15/1575/30/75/95 /110/135/185
will show an open until the appliance is installed. The UMB allows w Ceiling - 15/30/60/75/95/115 /150/177

General Notes
• Strobes are designed to flash at 1 flash per second minimum over the Regulated Voltage Range. Note that NFPA -72 (1999) 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 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
maximum humidity of 93% (± 2 %).
• Series AH -24 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 maximum humidity of 95 %.
• "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 ".

General Notes .
• Strobes are designed to flash at 1 flash per second minimum over the Regulated Voltage Range. 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 RSS & RSSP 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 maximum humidity of 93% (± 2 %).
• "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 ".

RSS /RSSP RSS /RSSP • RMS current ratings are per UL average RMS method. UL max current
24VDC Wall Mount rating is the maximum RMS current within the listed voltage range (16 -33v
Models 121575W for 24v units). For strobes the UL max current is usually at the minimum
12 vdc 0.152 listed voltage (16v for 24v units). For audibles the max current is usually at
the maximum listed voltage (33v for 24v units). For unfiltered FWR ratings,
UL max' 0.255 see installation instructions.
