Table 3: ULC Directional Characteristics
25/70V -3dB +/- 75 degrees horizontal; +/- 70 degrees vertical
-6dB +/- 90 degrees horizontal; +/- 90 degrees vertical
NOTE: The maximum wire impedance between strobes shall not exceed 35 OHMS.
CAUTION: Speaker Strobes are not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and o󰀨.
NOTE: Make sure that the total RMS current required by all appliances that are connected to the system’s primary and secondary power
sources, NAC Circuits , DSM Sync Modules or Cooper Wheelock Power Supplies do not exceed the power sources’ rated capacity or the
current ratings of any fuses on the circuits to which these appliances are wired.
WARNING: Overloading power sources or exceeding fuse ratings could result in loss of power and failure to alert occupants dur-
ing an emergency.
When calculating the total currents, use Table 2 to determine the highest value of “RMS Current” for an individual strobe (across the ex-
pected operating voltage range of the strobe), then multiply these values by the total number of strobes; be sure to add the currents for any
other appliances, including audible signaling appliances, powered by the same source and include any required safety factors.
If the peak current exceeds the power supplies’ peak capacity, the output voltage provided by the power supplies may drop below the listed
voltage range of the appliances connected to the supply and the voltage may not recover in some types of power supplies. For example, an
auxiliary power supply that lacks ltering at its output stage (either via lack of capacitance and/or lack of battery backup across the output)
may exhibit this characteristic.
WIRING INFORMATION
A 1.5µF blocking capacitor for DC supervision of audio lines by the FACP is factory wired in series with the speaker input. Supervision volt-
age must not exceed 33 volts DC.
1. LSPST3 Speaker Strobe models have in-out wiring terminals that accept two #12 to #18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at each
screw terminal. Strip leads 3/8 inches and connect to screw terminals.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
Although the limits shown for each mounting option comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC), Cooper Wheelock recommends use of
the largest backbox option shown and the use of approved stranded eld wires, whenever possible, to provide additional wiring room for easy
installation and minimum stress on the product from wiring.
NOTE: Speaker-strobe mounting depicted in Figure 6 & 7. For non-strobe speaker surface mounting, use same surface box as depicted in
Figure 6.
NOTE: Surface backbox (LSPKBB) shown in Figure 6, is compatible with wiremold and conduit. Mounting holes are for single-gang, double-
gang, and #10 wood screws for stud mounting. If metal conduit is installed onto top and bottom conduit entrances, then an insulated grounding
wire (18 AWG, supplied) must be connected between the top and bottom plate by using thread cutting screws (supplied) to provide electrical
continuity per UL 50.
MOUNTING PROCEDURES
NOTE: Remove the Lens Protector Tape and cardboard speaker protector before replacing the appliance Cover Grill.
CAUTION: Check that the installed product will have su󰀩cient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and conduit, especially if
sheathed multiconductor cable or 3/4” conduit ttings are used.
CAUTION: The candela select switch must be eld set to the required candela intensity before installation. When changing the setting of the
candela select switch make certain that it clicks in place. After changing the candela setting the appliance must be retested to verify proper
operation. Improper setting of the candela select switch may result in operation at the wrong candela
NOTE: Remove the Lens Protector Tape and cardboard speaker protector before replacing the appliance Cover Grill.
CAUTION: Check that the installed product will have su󰀩cient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and conduit, especially if
sheathed multiconductor cable or 3/4” conduit ttings are used.
1. LSPK and LSPST3 models have an integrated Speaker Mounting Plate.
2. First mount the Speaker Mounting Plate to the backbox. Next slide the grille over the Speaker Mounting Plate strobe until both snaps are engaged.
3. When terminating eld wires, do not use more lead length than required. Excess lead length could result in insu󰀩cient wiring space for
the signaling appliance.
4. Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide su󰀩cient wiring clearance for the installed product.
5. Do not pass additional wires (used for other than the signaling appliance) through the backbox. Such additional wires could result in
insu󰀩cient wiring space for the signaling appliance.
6. Mounting hardware for each mounting option is supplied.
7. All models can be ush mounted to a 4” square by 2-1/8” deep backbox in the wall, refer to Figure 7.
8. Use care and proper techniques to position the eld wires in the backbox so that they use minimum space and produce minimum stress
on the product. This is especially important for sti󰀨, heavy gauge wires and wires with thick insulation or sheathing.
9. Use care to prevent speaker cone damage when driving screws for speaker product mounting.
10. Spacing between mouting hole screws is 5 1/8”.
WARNING: When installing strobes in an open o󰀩ce or other areas containing partitions or other viewing obstructions, special atten-
tion should be given to the location of the strobes so that their operating e󰀨ect can be seen by all intended viewers, with the intesity,
number, and illumination, regardless of the viewer’s orientation.
The 110cd setting for the LSPST3 Clear Lens is Listed for use in sleeping or non-sleeping areas when installed in accordance with appropriate
NFPA Standards and the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
WARNING: A small possibility exists that the use of multiple strobes within a person’s eld of view, under certain circumstances,
might induce a photo-sensitive response in persons with epilepsy. Strobe reections in a glass or mirrored surface might also induce
such a response. To minimize this possible hazard, Cooper Wheelock strongly recommends that the strobes installed should not
present a composite ash rate in the eld of view which exceeds ve (5) hz at the operating voltage of the strobes. Cooper Wheelock
also strongly recommends that the intensity and composite ash rate of installed strobes comply with levels established by appli-
cable laws, standards, regulations, codes and guidelines.
If this appliance is required to produce a distinctive three-pulse Temporal Pattern Fire Alarm Evacuation Signal (for total evacuation) in ac-
cordance with NFPA 72, the appliance must be used with a re alarm control unit that can generate the temporal pattern signal. Refer to
manufacturer’s installation manual for details.
NOTE: NFPA 72/ANSI 117.1 conforms to ADAAG Equivalent Facilitation Guidelines in using fewer, higher intensity strobes within the same
protected area.
CAUTION: Check the installation instructions of the manufacturers of other equipment used in the system for any guidelines or restrictions
on wiring and/or locating Notication Appliance Circuits (NAC) and notication appliances. Some system communication circuits and/or audio
circuits, for example, may require special precautions to assure electrical noise immunity (e.g., audio crosstalk).
