A field configurable jumper option is available for selecting the
desired strobe signal output.
The strobe includes a field configurable switch for selecting the
desired candela output. The candela output setting is locked in
place and remains visible after final installation.
This strobe features an enhanced synchronization circuit to
comply with the latest requirements of UL 1971 Signaling
Devices for the Hearing Impaired and the latest Canadian
standard CAN/ULC-S526. Synchronized operation requires a
separately installed synchronization control module. See
Table 2 for a list of compatible synchronization modules.

Installation
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of shock, disconnect all power
and allow 10 minutes for stored energy to dissipate before
handling.
Caution
: Electrical supervision requires the wire run to be
broken at each terminal. Do not loop the signaling circuit field
wires around the terminals.
