The SL-1224WP Strobe Series provides a wide range of candela light output
options in a single device. The candela settings include a 12 or 24 volt
operation for the 15, 35 and 60 (75 on axis) candela settings and 24 volt
operation for the 15, 35, 60, 75, 95 and 110 candela settings. The candela
setting is displayed through the front window and is selectable using a drum
wheel. The voltage input can be either regulated DC or full wave rectified
(FWR). The strobes can be synchronized using a control panel with the Potter
(Amseco) sync protocol or a SMD10-3A sync module.
The SL-1224WP utilizes a universal mounting plate that will mount on a single
gang, double gang, octagon and 4” square electrical boxes.
The back plate allows the installer to mount the plate and terminate the wire
connections. The strobe attaches in a hinge fashion from the top and is
secured by a single mounting screw. The strobe completely covers the mounting
back plate, therefore it can be mounted before other trades work is completed
and not affect the final look.
The Potter SL-1224WP is listed for both outdoor and indoor applications. For
outdoor installations, the device must be mounted on a matching BBX-5 back box
or BBK-1 outdoor bell back box.
Installation
Note: Installation must comply in accordance with applicable standards. Outdoor installations require the use of the optional BBX-5 or BBK-1 bell back box.
