GENERAL:
Wheelock's AH Audible Horn Appliances are designed to provide a continuous horn tone or code 3 horn tone when connected
directly to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), or provide a synchronized code 3 horn when used in conjunction with a Sync
Module (SM), Dual Sync Module (DSM) or Power Supply (PS-12/24-8). The AH Appliances are UL Listed under UL Standard
464 for Audible Signal Appliances and ULC Listed under Standard CAN/ULC-S525-99 for Audible Signaling Appliances. They
are listed for indoor use only and are equipped with a Universal Mounting Plate (UMP) that can be mounted to single-gang,
double-gang, 4" square backbox, 100mm European or SHBB surface backbox (See Mounting Options).
AH Appliances can be field set to provide either High (HI) dBA, Medium (MED) dBA or Low (LO) dBA sound output. All AH
models are designed for use with either filtered DC or unfiltered Full-Wave-Rectified (FWR) input voltage. All inputs are
polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a FACP.
