Description
Engineering Specifications
The FHS-340R-WP Horn/Strobe provides a wide
range of candela light output options in a single device.
The candela settings include a 12 or 24 volt DC
operation for the 15, 35 and 60 (75 on axis) candela
settings and 24 volt DC operation for the 15, 35, 60,
75, 95 and 110 candela settings. The candela setting
is displayed through the front window and is selectable
using a drum wheel. The strobes can be synchronized
using a control panel with the Mircom (Amseco) sync
protocol or an SDM-240 sync module.
The installer shall provide and install the FHS-340RWP selectable horn/strobe. The strobe shall have six
(6) candela settings. The candela settings shall be
selectable using a drum roller and shall display the
candela setting on the front of the device. The horn
shall have 33 selectable settings configurable by
dip switches. The sounder shall be capable of ANSI
Temporal Code 3, March Time and produce a chime
output. The horn shall have three distinct volume
levels. The horn/strobe shall operate at 12 or 24 VDC
regulated or full wave rectified. The horn/strobe shall
have an operating range between 8 and 33 VDC.
The strobes can be synchronized using a control
panel with the Mircom(Amseco) sync protocol or an
SDM-240 sync module. The horn/strobe shall utilize
a mounting plate that allows the installer to pre-wire
the mounting plate. The FHS-340R-WP is listed for
both outdoor and indoor applications. For outdoor
installations, the device must be mounted on the
matching weatherproof backbox. The mounting plate
shall be completely covered by the horn/strobe and
shall be secured by a single screw. The horn/strobe
shall be UL listed to standard 1638, General Signaling,
and standard 1971, Signaling Devices for the Hearing
Impaired. In addition, the horn/strobes shall be C-UL
listed to CAN-ULC S526. The horn shall be UL listed
to standard 464, Audible Signaling Devices.
The horn settings include Temporal, Non-Temporal,
March Time and a Chime sound. The horn also has
Low, Mid and High volume settings for each pattern
and tone. The tones include 2400 Hz, ElectroMechanical and Broadband.
The voltage input can be either regulated DC or full
wave rectified (FWR) 12 volt or 24 volt operation with
an operating range of 8 to 33V DC.
The FHS-340R-WP utilizes a universal mounting
plate. The back plate allows the installer to mount
the plate and terminate the wire connections. The
horn/strobe attaches in a hinge fashion from the top
and is secured by a single mounting screw. The horn/
strobe completely covers the mounting back plate,
therefore it can be mounted before other trades work
is completed and not affect the final look.
The FHS-340R-WP is listed for both outdoor and
indoor installations and comes complete with a
matching weatherproof back box.

Installation
A jumper plug is provided to test for correct
wiring in the supervisory mode only. Do not
pass alarm current through the jumper.
Note: Installation must comply in accordance
with applicable standards.

Light Output
Light output in precentage when measured from the following directions per UL 1971.
High voltage may be present inside the light assembly even though power is not
connected. If access to the component board is required (removal or replacement), the
capacitor must be discharged by touching a wire to both ends of the flash tube.
DO NOT attempt to touch or move the assembly until the capacitor has been
discharged.
