General
The Wheelock Series CH Chimes and Chime Strobes mini-
mize alarm system power supply requirements and wiring
costs with a low current draw and a patented chime mounting
plate for fast, easy installation. Each model has a built-in level
adjustment feature and an aesthetic two-screw grille cover.
These unique solid-state chime appliances provide field
selectable single-stroke or vibrating operation with Anechoic
sound levels adjustable up to 83 dB and tone adjustable from
800 to 1200 Hz.
Strobe options for wall mount models include 15/75 candela
or Wheelock patented MCW multi-candela strobe with field-
selectable candela settings of 15/30/75/110 cd or the high-
intensity MCWH strobe with field-selectable 135/185 cd.
Ceiling-mount models are available in Wheelock patented
MCC multi-candela ceiling strobe with field-selectable inten-
sities of 15/30/75/95cd, or the high-intensity MCCH strobe
with field selectable 115/177cd.
The strobe portion of all Series CH Chime Strobes may be
synchronized when used in conjunction with the Wheelock
SM, DSM Sync Modules or the Wheelock PS-24-8MC Power
Supply with patented Sync Protocol. Wheelock’s synchro-
nized strobes offer an easy way to comply with ADA recom-
mendations concerning photosensitive epilepsy as well as
meeting the requirements of NFPA 72 and UFC.
The Series CH Chime Strobes are UL Listed for indoor, wall
or ceiling mount applications under Standard 1971 for Signal-

to standard electrical boxes or convenient surface mounting.
All models include IN/OUT wiring terminations that accept
two 12 AWG to 18 AWG wires at each terminal. Inputs are
