Application
The CS/CHS-WP Series Outdoor Colored Lens Signals are wall mount, low profile strobes and horn/strobes that offer dependable audible and visual alarms for warning and emergency notification in outdoor locations. Applications include emergency communication, severe weather, emergency response and many more.
Description
The CS/CHS-WP Series Outdoor Colored Lens Signals are 24VDC units available in lens colors of amber, blue, green and red. The Series has a fixed 75 candela strobe. They have a minimal operating current and a minimum flash rate of 1Hz regardless of input voltage. The weatherproof enclosure is made of clear Lexan which provides maximum visibility and reliability for effective visible signaling, allowing full 75cd output. The strobes can be synced using a Gentex sync protocol or the AVSM Sync Module.
The Colored Lens Series is shipped with a die cast universal 4†mounting bracket which incorporates the popular Super-Slide feature that allows the installer to easily pre-wire the system and test for supervision. The product also features a locking mechanism that secures the signal to the bracket without showing any screws. The Colored Lens Series also features the Checkmate - Instant Voltage Verification Feature which allows the installer to check the voltage drop, current draw, and match against the blue print.
The CS/CHS-WP Series devices are available in two different versions. The standard version comes with a surface-mount back box (WPBB) to install directly on a wall. The Low Profile (LP) versions come with a low profile back box (WPLPBB) designed to be installed on a flush-mounted electrical box.
Architect & Engineering Specifications
The audible and/or visible signal shall be Potter Outdoor Colored Lens Commander Series or approved equal and shall be listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. per ANSI/UL 1638 and/or ANSI/UL 464. The notification appliance shall also be listed with the California State Fire Marshal (CSFM).
The notification appliance (combination audible/visible) shall produce a peak sound output of 100dBA or greater at as measured in an anechoic chamber. The signaling appliance shall also have the capability to silence the audible signal while leaving the visible signal energized with the use of a single pair of power wires. Additionally, the user shall be able to select either continuous or temporal tone output with the temporal signal having the ability to be synchronized.
The audible/visible and visible signaling appliance shall also maintain a minimum flash rate of 1Hz or up to 2 Hz regardless of power input voltage. The appliance shall have an operating current of 112mA or less for the 75Cd strobe circuit. The appliance shall also be capable of meeting the candela requirements of the ADA (75cd).
The appliance shall be polarized to allow for electrical supervision of the system wiring. The unit shall be provided with a mounting bracket with terminals with barriers for input/output wiring and be able to mount to a single gang or double gang box or double workbox without the use of an adapter plate. The unit shall have an input voltage range of 16-33 volts with either direct current of full wave rectified power for 24 volt models.
The appliance shall be capable of testing supervision without disconnecting wires. Also the appliance shall be capable of mounting to a surface back box. The unit shall also be able to verify voltage at the unit without removing unit.
The appliance has extended temperature range of -31° to 150°F (-35° to 66° C). The appliance shall satisfy virtually all outdoor and severe environment applications. The WPBB enclosure is includes a gasket that must be inserted between the box and mounting bracket. There are drain holes in the back box to allow for drainage, the seal on the WPLPBB enclosure is not water tight. The WPLPBB enclosure includes a weather seal for mounting to wall and intended for use with universal electrical box. To allow for drainage, bottom edge of enclosure is not water tight.
