INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSSL2 SERIES HORN AND STROBE WITH PRE-WIRE/PRE-TESTWALL MOUNT (CLEAR AND AMBER LENS)Siemens Industry, Inc.Building Technologies Division2 Gatehall DriveParsippany, NJ 07054PN P85750-001ASiemens Canada LimitedBuilding Technologies Division1577 North Service Road EastOakville, Ontario, L6H 0H6CanadaPN P85750-001A Page 1IMPORTANT: All audible and visual signaling appliances must be installed in accordance with all applicable national and local fire alarmcodes and any other required regulatory agencies.The Siemens SL2 Series horn (SL2H), strobe (SL2S), and horn/strobe (SL2HS) appliances are designed for easy installation with a pre-wire capable mounting plate. All models are for 24V operation. The SL2H horn is also for 12V operation. SL2S strobe and SL2HShorn/strobe are for wall mount only. SL2H horn can be wall or ceiling mounted.The Siemens SL2 strobe meets NFPA 2016 20 millisecond light pulse duration code requirements. In addition, the Siemens SL2 productline has been UL/ULC listed as compatible with all Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP) and accessories that have been determined to becompatible with Siemens ST Strobe based products including the SL, ST, SE, SEH, SET, S-HQ, STH, AS, CH, HS, MTH and Z series. Themaximum number of SL2 devices per NAC is determined by dividing the maximum current rating of the FACP NAC by the total currentrating of one SL2 device, with a maximum of 105 SL2 devices per NAC. Refer to FACP installation instructions and relevant compatibilityguides for more detail. The Siemens SL2 Series may be installed in the same notification zone and field of view with any Siemens ST, SL,and Z series Strobe based product.Siemens SL2 Multi-Candela Strobes and Horn-Strobes can provide a synchronized strobe appliance when used in conjunction with anFACP that incorporates the Siemens sync protocol, a Sync Module (DSC), or the Siemens Power Supply.CAUTION: Do not change factory applied finishes. “DO NOT PAINT”.ATTENTION: Ne pas modifiez les finitions appliquées en usine. “NE PAS PEINTURER”IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

This model has in-out wiring terminals that accept #12 to #18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wiresat each screw terminal. Strip leads 3/8 inches and connect to screw terminals.2. Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuits to assure integrity of circuit supervision as shown inFigure 2. The polarity shown in the wiring diagrams is for operation of the appliances. The polarity isreversed by the FACP during supervision.NOTES:1. Horn and Strobe settings will determine the current draw of the product.2. The strobe will produce 1 flash per second over the "Regulated Voltage" range.3. Strobe is not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off.4. Amber strobes are not to be used as a Visual Public Mode alarm notification appliance.5. These appliances are UL Listed as “Regulated”. They are intended to be used with FACPs whose notification circuits are UL Listedas “Regulated.”6. These appliances were tested to the regulated voltage limits of 16.0-33.0 Volts. Do not apply voltage outside of this range. Checkthe minimum and maximum output of the power supply and standby battery and subtract the voltage drop from the circuit wiringresistance to determine the applied voltage to the strobes. The max wire impedance between strobes shall not exceed 35 ohms.7. Make sure that the total RMS current required by all appliances that are connected to the system’s primary and secondary powersources, notification appliance circuits, sync modules, or power supplies does not exceed the power sources rated capacity or thecurrent ratings of any fuses on the circuits to which these appliances are wired.8. The Code 3 temporal pattern (1/2 second on, 1/2 second off, 1/2 second on, 1/2 second off, 1/2 second on, 1-1/2 off and repeat) isspecified by ANSI and NFPA 72 for standard emergency evacuation signaling. Code 3 shall be used only for fire evacuation signalingand not for any other purpose.9. The effect of shipping and storage temperatures shall not adversely affect the performance of the appliance when it is stored in theoriginal cartons and not subjected to misuse or abuse. |
