Wheelock RSS-24MCC-FR Ceiling Strobe

The Wheelock RSS-24MCC-FR Ceiling Fire Alarm Strobe provides dependable visual notification for compatible fire alarm and emergency signaling systems. It combines a high-intensity xenon strobe with selectable candela settings for flexible system design. In addition, its red housing and FIRE lettering provide clear identification as a fire alarm notification appliance.

Ceiling-Mount Visual Notification

The Wheelock RSS-24MCC-FR uses a ceiling-mount configuration for visual emergency notification. This design makes it suitable for locations where ceiling placement provides the required coverage or where wall-mounted appliances may not fit the system layout.

The unit features a clear Lexan lens and a red UV-stabilized plastic housing. Therefore, it provides a durable and recognizable appearance for professional fire alarm installations.

Selectable Candela Settings

This strobe provides four field-selectable candela settings. Installers can select 15, 30, 75, or 95 candela according to the approved fire alarm system design.

Selectable output provides greater flexibility during installation and replacement. As a result, technicians can use one model for several visual notification requirements instead of stocking multiple fixed-candela devices.

The selected candela setting also affects current consumption. Therefore, installers should calculate the notification appliance circuit load before placing the device into service.

24V Fire Alarm Operation

The strobe operates on compatible 24V notification appliance circuits. Eaton specifies a regulated voltage range of 16.0 to 33.0 VDC for the 24MCC series.

Maximum RMS current varies according to the selected candela setting. Published 24VDC values are approximately 0.065A at 15 cd, 0.105A at 30 cd, 0.189A at 75 cd, and 0.249A at 95 cd.

This model is designed for indoor use. Therefore, installers should not substitute it for a weatherproof notification appliance in outdoor or exposed environments.

Fire Alarm Applications

This ceiling strobe can support many commercial and institutional fire alarm applications. For example, technicians may use it in offices, schools, hotels, healthcare facilities, commercial buildings, warehouses, and other compatible properties.

Its selectable candela settings make it particularly useful for replacement projects. Technicians can select the required output to match the approved system design and notification requirements.

Installation and Compatibility

Before installation, verify the notification appliance circuit voltage and required candela setting. Also, confirm circuit capacity, synchronization requirements, mounting configuration, and compatibility with the fire alarm control equipment.

When replacing an existing device, compare the complete model number. Similar Wheelock RSS models may have different mounting orientations, candela ranges, housing colors, or lens configurations.

Qualified fire alarm professionals should install and test the appliance. In addition, technicians should follow Eaton Wheelock installation instructions and applicable fire alarm codes.

Overall, this Wheelock ceiling strobe provides flexible visual notification for compatible fire alarm systems. Its four selectable candela settings, red FIRE housing, 24V operation, and compact ceiling-mount design make it a practical option for maintaining compatible fire alarm notification systems.
