The Siemens MTH-75-R-WP Weatherproof Multi-Tone Horn Strobe is an audible/visible fire alarm notification appliance designed for outdoor and wet-location applications. Siemens identifies model MTH-75-R-WP, part number 500-636082, as a weatherproof multi-tone horn/strobe.
The appliance combines a high-output strobe with a multi-tone electronic horn, providing both audible and visible emergency signaling from a single notification device.

Multi-Tone Horn
The MTH-75-R-WP provides multiple field-selectable audible signals, allowing the appliance to accommodate different emergency signaling requirements.
The MTH Series provides a broad audible range with published output levels extending approximately from:
76 to 94 dBA reverberant
depending on the selected tone and operating conditions.
The selectable-tone architecture provides greater flexibility than a standard single-tone electronic horn.
Weatherproof Operation
The WP designation identifies the MTH-75-R-WP as a weatherproof notification appliance.
It is intended for applications requiring greater environmental protection than a standard indoor horn strobe, including exterior and other approved wet-location installations.
The complete weatherproof mounting arrangement must be used to maintain the required environmental protection.
High-Output Strobe
The MTH-75-R-WP incorporates a high-intensity visual notification strobe.
Published ratings include:
UL 1638 at -40°C: 115 cd
UL 1971: 30 / 180 cd
The 180 cd rating is on-axis only under the manufacturer’s specified test conditions.
The model has historically been referred to as a 15/75 weatherproof horn strobe, while later Siemens documentation lists its high-output rating as 180 cd.
Strobe Operation
The strobe operates at approximately:
1 flash per second
through its specified operating voltage range.
The visual portion provides a clear-lens fire alarm signal intended to provide conspicuous notification in outdoor and other demanding applications.
