*116DEGEX()-FJ Series
Mass Notification Strobe for Hazardous
Locations Installation Sheet**

Description

The 116DEGEX()-FJ Series Mass Notification Strobes are heavy duty, diode polarized, in-rush current-limited strobes intended for use in Mass Notification signaling (non-fire alarm) applications requiring electrical supervision of signaling circuit wiring. When pendant, wall, or ceiling mounted, the strobe meets or exceeds the requirements of UL 1638 Visual Signaling Appliances – Private Mode Emergency and General Utility Signaling.
The strobe is intended for indoor or outdoor use in applications requiring electrical supervision of signaling circuit field wiring. The strobe flashes a 360-degree beam of light approximately 65 times per minute. The strobe has been evaluated to UL 1971 polar plot requirements with “on axis” light output values (Figure 6 and Figure 7). The strobe features an enhanced synchronization circuit to comply with the latest requirements of UL 1971 Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired and the latest Canadian standard CAN/ULC-S526. Synchronized operation requires a separately installed synchronization control module. See Table 1 for a list of compatible synchronization modules.
When assembled with an available mounting subassembly (116EX-P, 116EX-C, or 116EX-C with 116EX-B) and in accordance with these instructions, the 116DEGEX()-FJ visual strobe signal is UL Listed as a Mass Notification Signaling Appliance for use in Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D, Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D (hazardous or nonhazardous locations), Class II Division 1, Groups E, F, and G, Class II, Division 2, Group F and G, and Class III Division 1 and 2 hazardous locations with Operating Temperature Codes per Table 3. Refer to “Specifications” on page 4 for more information. This strobe is UL and cUL Listed as a Type 3R and 4X enclosure.
Refer to Figure 5.
Note: This equipment is suitable for use in Class, Division and Group as defined in Product Covered or non-hazardous locations (Table 3).

Installation

WARNINGS

• Explosion hazard. To reduce the risks of ignition of hazardous atmospheres and shock, do not apply power to the unit until installation has been completed and unit is tightly assembled and secured.
• Explosion hazard. Do not remove or replace lamps, fuses, or adjustment switch/potentiometer unless the power has been disconnected or the area is known to be free of ignitable concentrations of flammable gases or vapors.
• Explosion hazard. To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres and shock, keep the assembly tightly closed when circuits are energized.
• Explosion hazard. Do not disconnect equipment while the circuit is live or unless the area is known to be free of ignitable concentrations.

Install this unit in accordance with the applicable requirements in the latest edition of NFPA 70 National Electrical Code.
Note: This equipment is suitable for use in Class, Division, and Group as defined in Product Covered or non-hazardous locations (Table 2).

1. Mount the signal using one of the following applicable methods.
   a. Pendant mount models (Figure 1): Install the pendant mount module, Cat. No. 116EX-P, to the main housing.
   Tighten the setscrew. Install an explosion-proof hanger box (not supplied). Secure the 3/4 in. NPT threaded conduit (not supplied) to the box. Install the unit on the conduit. Ensure the conduit engages at least five full threads and then tighten the setscrew to secure the pendant mount module to the conduit. Connect the field earth ground wire to the ground screw or earth ground via the conduit system. Wire in accordance with Figure 4. See Table 3 for required supply wire temperature ratings.
   b. Ceiling mount models (Figure 2): Mount the ceiling mount module, Cat. No. 116EX-C, using hardware (not supplied) that is suitable for the mounting surface. Connect field earth ground wire to the ground screw or earth ground via conduit system. Wire the unit in accordance with Figure 4. See Table 3 for required supply wire temperature ratings. Install the main housing to the ceiling mount module. Tighten the setscrew to secure the main housing to the ceiling mount module.
   c. Wall/bracket mount models (Figure 3): Install the ceiling mount module, Cat. No. 116EX-C, using hardware (not supplied) that is suitable for the mounting surface. Install the wall mount module, Cat. No. 116EX-B, to the main housing.
   Tighten the setscrew to secure the wall mounting module to the main housing. Run the unit’s wiring through the elbow to the wall box. Connect the field earth ground wire to the ground screw or earth ground via the conduit system. Wire the unit in accordance with Figure 4. See Table 3 for required supply wire temperature ratings. Install the main housing and 116EX-B wall mount module to the ceiling mount module. Tighten the setscrew to secure the 116EX-B wall mount module to the ceiling mount module.

2. Apply power to the unit and ensure proper operation.

Maintenance

WARNINGS

• Explosion hazard. To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres and shock, keep the assembly tightly closed when circuits are energized.
• Explosion hazard. To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres and shock, disconnect from the supply and circuit and allow 5 minutes for stored energy to dissipate before disassembling the unit.
• Explosion hazard. To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres and shock, disconnect from the supply and circuit and allow 5 minutes for stored energy to dissipate before disassembling the unit.

Caution: Equipment damage hazard. To prevent damage to the signalcircuit and to otherwise assure continued proper functioning, do not operate the unit outside of the Regulated 24 DC or 24 FWR voltage range of 16 to 33 VDC or VFWR.

To disassemble the unit (Figure 8):

1. Loosen the three guard screws and remove the guard.
2. Loosen the globe and ring assembly setscrew. Insert a suitable tool into the notches in the globe and ring assembly and loosen the assembly by prying in a counterclockwise direction. Remove the ring and globe assembly.
3. Refer to Table 2 for the replacement catalog number. Replace the lens.
4. To replace the globe, simply screw the unit on until it seats firmly onto its gasket. Tighten the unit another 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Tighten the setscrew.
5. Reinstall the guard, where applicable, and secure using the three supplied screws.
6. After the unit is assembled, apply power and make sure the unit functions properly.

Notes

• The DC polarity of the circuit shown in supervisory state (signal inactive). Circuit polarity to reverse to activate signal.
• Electrical supervision requires wire run to be broken at each device.
• Device requires constant input voltage. Do not connect to “coded” or pulsating voltage.
• For non-supervised circuit wiring installations, the installer can tie the two white leads together and tie the two black leads together.
