The SH-1224WP Strobe/Horn Series provides a wide range of candela light output
options in a single device. The candela settings include a 12 or 24 volt DC
operation for the 15, 35 and 60 (75 on axis) candela settings and 24 volt DC
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 strobes can be synchronized
using a control panel with the Potter(Amseco) sync protocol or a SMD10-3A sync
module.
The horn settings include Temporal, Non-Temporal, March Time and a Chime
sound. The horn also has Low, Mid and High volume settings for each pattern
and tone. The tones include 2400 Hz, ElectroMechanical and Broadband.
The voltage input can be either regulated DC or full wave rectified (FWR) 12
volt or 24 volt operation with an operating range of 8 to 33V DC. The SH-
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/horn attaches in a hinge fashion from the top and is secured by a
single mounting screw. The strobe/horn 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 SH-1224WP is listed for both outdoor and indoor installations. For
outdoor installations the device must be mounted on a matching BBX-5 back box
or a BBK-1 bell back box.
Installation
Note: Installation must comply in accordance with applicable standards.

WARNING
High voltage may be present inside the light assembly even though power is not
connected. If access to the component board is required (removal or
replacement), the capacitor must be discarged by touching a wire to both ends
of the flashtube.
DO NOT attempt to touch or move the assembly until the capacitor has been
discharged.
