Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.

GENERAL:

RS (Universal Mounting) and RSP Strobe Appliances are UL Listed under Standard 1971 (Signaling Devices for the Hearing
Impaired) for indoor fire protection service. The 1575 candela strobes are listed at 15 candela under UL Standard 1971 and meet 75
candela intensity on axis with low current draw. Series RS Strobes are listed for indoor use only. 15cd, 30cd and 75cd models are
Listed for ceiling or wall mount and 15cd* models are Listed for wall mount with the backboxes specified in these instructions (See
Mounting Options). The strobes use a Xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a rugged Lexan lens to provide
maximum visibility and reliability for effective visible signaling. All inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse
polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).
