RCI 914
WALL MOUNTED SOUNDERS
IS914
PCN2208
R11-22GR
These notification appliances can be installed in systems using 12 or
24V using DC or full-wave rectified (FWR) power supplies.
The indoor model 914W has an operating temperature range of 32ºF to
120ºF (0ºC to 49ºC).
The outdoor model 914WPR meets NEMA 3R requirements with an
operating temperature of -40ºF to 151ºF (-40ºC to 66ºC).
They are not suitable for ceiling mounting.
Fire Alarm System Considerations
The National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, requires that all horns, used
for building evacuation produce temporal coded signals.
Signals other than those used for evacuation purposes do not have to
produce the Temporal Coded Signal. Temporal coding is accomplished
by interrupting a steady sound in the following manner:
1/2 sec ON; 1/2 sec OFF; 1/2 sec ON; 1/2 sec OFF, etc. (repeatedly)
Horn Selection
Turn the rotary switch on the back of the product to the desired setting.
The current draw for each setting is listed in Table 1. The sound output
measurement for each horn setting is shown in Table 2.
WARNING: The horn will not work without power. The horn may
not be heard. The loudness of the horn meets (or exceeds) current
Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the sounder may not
alert a sound sleeper or one who has recently taken medication/drugs
or alcoholic beverages. The sounder may not be heard if it is located
on a different building level from the person in hazard or if it is placed
too far away to be heard over ambient noise (i.e. traffic, air conditions,
machinery or music appliances). The sounder may also not be heard by
persons who are hearing impaired.
AVERTISSEMENT: L’avertisseur sonore ne fonctionnera pas sans
courant. L’avertisseur sonore pourrait ne pas être entendu. L’intensité
de l’avertisseur sonore rencontre (ou dépasse) les critères actuels
d’Underwriters Laboratories. Cependant, le bruit pourrait ne pas
alerter certaines personnes dormant profondément ou quelqu’un ayant
récemment consommé des médicaments, de la drogue ou de l’alcool.
Le bruit peut ne pas être entendu s’il provient d‘un autre étage de
l’établissement que celui où se trouve la personne en danger, ou s’il
est situé trop loin pour se distinguer de bruit ambiant (c.-à-d.,circulation,
conditions de l’air, machinerie ou appareils de musique). Le bruit peut
également ne pas être entendu pas les malentendants.
ADVERTENCIA: La bocina no funcionará sin electricidad. Puede ser
que no se escuche. El volumen de la bocina cumple (o excede) con
las normas de Underwriters Laboratories. Sin embargo, es posible que
la sirena no alerte a una persona que tenga el sueño muy profundo
o que haya tomado recientemente medicamentos/estupefacientes o
bebidas alcohólicas. También es posible que no se escuche la sirena
si se localiza en un nivel del edificio distinto al que se encuentra la
persona en peligro o si se coloca demasiado lejos para ser escuchada
por encima del ruido ambiental (es decir, tráfico, aire acondicionado,
maquinaria o aparatos de música). Asimismo, es posible que las
personas con problemas de audición no la oigan.
