ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power to the area where

you will install this Strobe Light at the circuit breaker or fuse box

before beginning installation. Failure to turn off the power before

installation may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

•

Installation of this Strobe Light must conform to the

electrical codes in your area; Articles

210,

760 of NFPA 70

(NEC), NFPA 72, NFPA 101; SBC (SBCCI); UBC (ICBO);

NBC (BOCA); OTFDC (CABO), and any other local or

building codes that may apply. Wiring and installation must

be per med by a licensed electrician. Failurfor e to follow

these guidelines may result in injury or property damage.

•

This

Strobe Light

must be powered by a 24-hour, 120VAC

60Hz circuit. Be sure the circuit cannot be turned off by a

switch, dimmer, or ground fault circuit interrupter. Failure to

connect this

Strobe Light

to a 24-hour circuit may prevent it

from providing constant protection.

•

It is possible an electrical fire could occur on the circuit

powering this

Strobe Light

. If this happened, power to the

unit could be cut off and it may fail to activate. Some safety

experts recommend wiring warning devices like this unit on

separate cir om other appliances, since these circuits fr cuits

are not as likely to be overloaded. Other safety experts

recommend wiring these units on the same circuits as

appliances so it is more readily apparent if the circuit fails.

•

Never disconnect the power from an AC powered Alarm to

stop an unwanted alarm. Doing so will disable the unit and

remove your protection. In the case of a true unwanted

alarm open a window or fan the smoke away from the inter-

connected units . The interconnected alarm will reset auto-

matically when it returns to normal operation. Never remove

the batteries from a battery operated Alarm to stop an

unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.). Instead

open a window or fan the smoke away. The Alarm will reset

automatically.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing First Alert for your hearing impaired Strobe

Light needs. You have purchased a state of the art Strobe Light

designed to provide hearing impaired individuals with a visual warning

of a fire or a carbon monoxide danger when used with smoke, heat or

carbon monoxide alarms. Please take the time to read this manual and

make the Strobe Light an integral part of your family’s safety plan.

Key Features of the SL177 Strobe Light:

Smart Strobe: Separate flash patterns to distinguish smoke/heat or

CO danger. Can be interconnected with First Alert

®and BRK®smoke,

CO, smoke/CO combo and heat alarms.

177 Candela Xenon Light: Powerful 177 candela xenon strobe light

provides effective visual warning to awaken hearing impaired residents.

Smart Interconnect: One interconnect wire carries smoke and CO

alarm signals.

Meets ADA Requirements: Meets the requirements of the Americans

with Disabilities Act (ADA).

This device is not a smoke, heat or carbon monoxide alarm. It must

be interconnected with operating alarms to provide protection.

It will not work without AC power.

UL STANDARD 1971

RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT FOR HEARING

IMPAIRED STROBE LIGHTS

According to NFPA 72, at a minimum a strobe should installed within

16 feet (4.9 meters) of the pillow.

For wall mounting, the strobe should be between 80 to 96 inches (203

to 244 cm) above the floor.

For ceiling mounting: Ideally, the strobe should be located near the

center of the room. See diagram.

This strobe light must be interconnected with smoke, heat and/or

carbon monoxide alarms either within or nearby the sleeping

rooms to provide protection.

WEEKLY TESTING

To test this strobe light you must activate the test button of each inter-

connected, smoke, CO or heat alarm. This will send a signal to the

strobe light and cause the unit to begin flashing. Depending on what

type of alarms you have connected, the strobe light will flash different

patterns.

Smoke/Heat Alarms: Constant approximately 1 flash per second.

CO Alarms: Intermittent approximately 1 flash per second for four

flashes, then 5 seconds off. Pattern is repeated.

These different patterns are to help a hearing impaired person better

distinguish the danger present. The flash patterns approximate the

audible alarm emitted by either a smoke or heat alarm or a carbon

monoxide alarm. Note that a heat alarm will emit the same horn pattern

as a smoke alarm. Make sure all members of your family understand

the different flash patterns.

Do not look directly at or touch the lens while the strobe light is

flashing. Doing so can hurt your eyes or burn your fingers.If the

strobe light does not flash during testing and the alarm does not sound,

check the fuse or circuit breaker supplying power to the alarm circuit.

If the alarm sounds and the strobe light does not flash, refer to the

installation instructions in this manual to insure strobe light is wired

properly. If the strobe light still does not work it should be replaced.

When testing the interconnected alarm, do not stand too close to

the unit when the alarm is sounding. It is loud to wake you in an

emergency. Exposure to the horn at close range may harm your

hearing. All interconnected alarms connected to this strobe light must

be tested individually to ensure proper connections. It is important to

test all interconnected alarms every week to make sure they are working

properly. Using the test button is the recommended way to test the

alarms and strobe light.

STROBE LIGHT OUTPUT FOR WALL & CEILING

MOUNTING

The intensity of the strobe light gradually lessens as the angle increases.

In other words, the light is brightest directly in front of the strobe light

and is progressively less bright to either side. As required by

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), the following illustrations show how

the strobe light is dispersed. Use them to help you choose where to

locate units for the hearing impaired.

PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY AND STROBE FLASH RATES

Individuals who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy might have

an increased probability for seizures with multiple strobe lights flashing

asynchronously. The frequency or speed of flashing light that is most

likely to cause seizures varies from person to person. Generally, flashing

lights most likely to trigger seizures are between the frequency of 5 to

30 flashes per second (Hertz). This strobe light flashes at about 1 flash

per second.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, most workplaces and places

serving the public, including theaters, restaurants, and recreation areas,

are required to have fire alarms, which flash as well as ring so that

people who cannot hear or cannot hear well will know that there is an

emergency.

The Mounting Bracket

Installs onto the junction box.

It has a variety of screw slots to fit most

boxes. If a junction box is not already in

place, install one using standard #12 or

#14 gauge copper wire.

To remove the mounting bracket from

the base, hold the base firmly and twist

mounting bracket counterclockwise.

The Power Connector

The power connector plugs into a power input block

on the Strobe Light and supplies it AC power.

•Black wire is “hot.”

•White wire is neutral.

•Orange wire is used for interconnect.

If you need to remove the power connector, turn

POWER OFF first. To remove the power connector, insert

a flat screwdriver blade between the power connector and

the security tab inside the power input block. Gently pry

back the tab and pull the connector free.

This Strobe Light is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box to a 4-inch (10 cm) diagonal size, on either the ceiling or wall (if allowed

by local codes). Read “Recommended Placement for Hearing Impaired Strobe Lights” before you begin installation.

Tools you will need: • Standard Flathead screwdriver • Wire strippers

Make sure the Alarm is not receiving excessively noisy power. Examples of noisy power could be major appliances on the

same circuit, power from a generator or solar power, light dimmer on the same circuit or mounted near fluorescent lighting. Excessively noisy

power may cause damage to your Alarm.

This unit has been designed to be as maintenance free as possible, but

there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly.

• Test it at least once a week.

• Clean the Strobe Light at least once a month; gently vacuum off

any dust using your household vacuum’s soft brush attachment,

and test the Strobe Light after cleaning. Never use water, cleaners

or solvents since they may damage the unit.

• If the Strobe Light is loose or broken, the entire unit should be

replaced immediately. Never remove the Strobe Light lens for

any reason. Doing so can permanently damage the unit and

will void your warranty.

• Do no

t paint over the unit. Paint may clog the openings and

prevent the unit from operating properly.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION STEPS

The basic installation of this strobe light is similar whether you want

to install one strobe light or multiple strobe lights.

This device is not a smoke, heat or CO alarm. It must be intercon-

nected with operating alarms to provide protection. It will not

work without AC power.

Things to consider when planning the installation of a hearing impaired

strobe light:

• Location of strobe light is important and must comply with NFPA

72 requirements. This device is intended to awaken a hearing

impaired person and must be positioned properly for it to be

effective. See Installation Diagram and "Recommended Locations

for Hearing Impaired Strobe Lights" for details.

• Types of other alarms to be interconnected with this strobe light.

This device can be interconnected with smoke, heat, carbon

monoxide alarms or a combination of all three. A smoke alarm is

usually placed within the sleeping room. A carbon monoxide or

heat alarm is usually placed outside the sleeping area. Follow

recommendations in each device's installation manual. The inter-

connect wire of all alarms must be properly connected for the

strobe light to be operational. The strobe light may be positioned

anywhere within the interconnected circuit.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! Turn off power before starting

installation!

1. Remove the mounting bracket from the base. Install the mounting

bracket to the junction box.

2. Using wire nuts, connect the power connector to the household

wiring as follows:

Strip off about 1/2” (12 mm) of the plastic coating on the orange

wire on the power connector.

• Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral

wire in the junction box.

• Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire

in the junction box.

• Connect the orange wire on the power connector to the inter-

connect wire in the junction box. Repeat for each unit you are

interconnecting. Never connect the hot or neutral wires in the

junction box to the orange interconnect wire.

3. Plug the power connector into the back of the Strobe Light.

4. Line up the alignment tab on the base with the alignment tab on

the mounting bracket. Turn the Strobe Light clockwise (right) until

you hear the unit snap into place.

5. Check all connections.

Improper wiring of the power connector or the wiring leading to

the power connector will cause damage to the Strobe Light and

may lead to a non-functioning unit.

6. Make sure the Strobe Light is receiving AC power. Under normal

operation, the green power indicator light will shine continuously.

If the power indicator light does not light, TURN OFF POWER TO

THE JUNCTION BOX and recheck all connections. If all connec-

tions are correct and the power indicator still does not light when

you restore the power, the unit should be replaced immediately.

7. To test this strobe light you must activate the test button of each

interconnected, smoke, CO or heat alarm. This will send a signal

to the strobe light and cause the unit to begin flashing.

Depending on what type of alarms you have connected, the

strobe light will flash different patterns.

Smoke/Heat Alarms: Constant approximately 1 flash per second.

CO Alarms: Intermittent approximately 1 flash per second for four

flashes, then 5 seconds off. Pattern is repeated.

These different patterns are to help a hearing impaired person

better distinguish the danger present. The flash patterns approxi-

mate the audible alarm emitted by either a smoke/heat alarm or

carbon monoxide alarm.

Do not look directly at or touch the lens while the strobe light is

flashing.

If any Strobe Light does not flash, TURN OFF POWER and recheck

connections. If any Strobe Light still does not flash when you test it

after restoring power, replace it immediately.

• If you are installing multiple Strobe Lights, repeat steps 1-5

for each Strobe Light in the series. When you are finished,

restore power to the junction box.
