Siemens ZR-MC-W Strobe P/N:500-636170 White

The Siemens ZR-MC-W Strobe P/N: 500-636170 White is a visible fire alarm notification appliance from the Siemens Z Series. It is specifically identified by Siemens as a white, wall-mounted multi-candela strobe.

The appliance provides synchronized visual notification for compatible fire alarm systems and uses a snap-on mounting base designed to simplify system testing and servicing.

Product Functions

• Provides visible fire alarm notification
• Strobe-only notification appliance
• Designed for wall mounting
• White housing
• Multi-candela visual output
• Operates on 24V notification circuits
• Supports synchronized strobe operation
• Uses a snap-on mounting base
• Supports compatible Siemens synchronization equipment
• Designed for conventional notification appliance circuits

Multi-Candela Strobe

The ZR-MC-W provides field-selectable visual output, allowing the strobe intensity to be configured according to the fire alarm system design.

The standard Z Series wall multi-candela range provides:

15 cd

30 cd

75 cd

110 cd

This allows one appliance to accommodate multiple visual notification coverage requirements.

Wall-Mount Configuration

The ZR-MC-W is specifically a wall-mounted notification appliance. Siemens’ official ordering table identifies:

ZR-MC-W — Z Strobe: Multi Candela (Wall), White

Part Number: 500-636170.

The corresponding ceiling version is:

ZR-MC-CW — P/N 500-636174

Correct wall-versus-ceiling selection is important because visual notification appliances use different light-distribution patterns according to mounting orientation.

Synchronized Notification

The ZR-MC-W supports synchronized strobe operation with compatible Siemens fire alarm equipment.

Synchronization coordinates multiple visual appliances within the same field of view so their flashes occur together rather than independently.

Compatible Z Series systems can use Siemens control panels, synchronization modules, and NAC extenders equipped with the appropriate synchronization protocol.

Snap-On Base Design

The Siemens Z Series uses a separate mounting base that allows the notification appliance to snap into position after the field wiring and base have been installed.

The corresponding white base is:

ZB-W — P/N 500-636194

The base package includes the base, dust cover, mounting screws, and installation sheet.

This architecture allows wiring to remain in place when the notification appliance itself requires replacement.
