Description
The 400 series weather-protected horn, strobe, and horn/strobe NAC devices provide a wide range of audible and visual settings in a single compact device. Audible settings include Temporal 3, Continuous, March Time, and 20 BPM tones adjustable for Low or High volume settings. Candela settings can be field-configured for 15, 30, 75, 110, 185, and 15/75 cd.

Kit Includes

• Mounting plate #4-40 x 3/8 screw
• Shorting clip

• 8-32 x 3/4 screws (x2) and #6-32 x 3/4 screws (x2)

• Protective cover

Setting the Candela (FS-400-RR-WP and FHS-400-RR-WP only)

1. Pull out the plastic selector tab from the back of the device.
2. Re-insert the selector tab into the notch labeled with the desired candela setting.

Setting the DIP Switches

Note: DIP switches 2 and 3 are not used. By default, they are OFF.

NOTE for DIP switch 1: Use NON-SYNCHRONIZED when synchronization is not needed. Use SYNCHRONIZED when synchronization is required.

Input

About this Manual
This manual is included as a quick reference for installation. For further information on the use of this device with an FACU, please refer to the panel’s manual.

Note: This manual should be left with the owner/operator of this equipment.
This manual covers the following models:
FH-400-RR-WP Weather protected wall/ceiling mounted horn, red FS-400-RR-WP Weather protected wall mounted strobe, red FHS-400-RR-WP Weather protected wall mounted horn/strobe, red

Notes

• DO NOT PAINT OR ALTER FACTORY APPLIED FINISH IN ANY WAY.
• Input terminal wire gauge: 22 AWG to 12 AWG.
• Use the information in this document to determine the total current draw of the devices. The total current draw of the devices must not exceed the power supply of the FACU. In all cases, the installer should consider the voltage drop to ensure that the last device on the circuit operates within its rated voltage.
• Maximum line resistance for a single wall mounted unit at 15 candela is 150 Ω.
• Wiring must be in accordance with CSA C22.1 Section 32, NFPA 70, and NFPA 72.
• These devices cannot operate on coded power supplies.

The Kit Includes

Figure 1 Included parts

Setting the Candela (FS-400-RR-WP and FHS-400-RR-WP only)

The candela can be set to 15, 30, 75,110, 185, and 15/75. The factory default setting is 15.

1. Pull out the plastic selector tab from the back of the device.
2. Re-insert the selector tab into the notch that is labeled with the desired candela setting.

Setting the DIP Switches

Note: DIP switches 2 and 3 are not used. By default they are OFF.
NOTE for DIP switch 1: Use NON-SYNCHRONIZED when the appliances do not need to be synchronized. Use SYNCHRONIZED when synchronization is required, either through an external sync module or compatible FACU or PSU supporting MGC sync protocol.

Shorting Clip
In order to test the wiring, place the shorting clip on the middle two terminals after wiring.
Remove the shorting clip before mounting the device.

Wiring

Weather-Protected Enclosure

The enclosure is rated for Outdoor Environment Wet Location. -40 °C to +66 °C (-40 F to 151 F)

Mounting to the Wall or Ceiling

MGC recommends spacing notification appliances in compliance with CAN/ULC S524 and NFPA 72.
Mount the unit directly to the wall or ceiling depending on the model. When mounting on the wall, mount the enclosure with the word TOP at the top, and mount the device with the MGC nameplate at the top.

1. Before mounting, disassemble the unit as show in figure 7.
2. Secure the enclosure directly to the wall or ceiling.
3. Attach the mounting plate to the holes marked NAC in the enclosure with the 2 included screws.
4. Snap the horn, strobe, or horn/strobe on to the mounting plate and secure it with the securing screw. Snap the nameplate over the screw.
5. Secure the transparent cover over the assembly with the 4 included screws.

Figure 7 Mount a horn, strobe, and horn/strobe in enclosure

Removing the Device from the Mounting Plate
To remove the device from the mounting plate, remove the nameplate and the securing screw, then insert a flathead screwdriver into the slot between the device and the mounting plate, and rotate the screwdriver.
