Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL
The Siemens LED based SL-Series LED3 SLHC horn, SLSC strobe, and SLHSC horn/strobe appliances are designed for easy instal-
lation. All models are for 24V operation. The SLHC horn is also for 12V operation. SLSC and SLHSC are designed for ceiling mounting
only; SLHC may be mounted on the wall or ceiling.
WARNING: Please read these instructions carefully before using this product. Failure to comply with any of the following in-
structions, cautions and warnings could result in improper application, candela setting, installation and/or operation of these
products in an emergency situation, which could result in property DSCage and serious injury or death to you and/or others.
The Siemens LED based SL-Series meets NFPA 2016 20 millisecond light pulse duration code requirements. In addition, the Siemens
LED based SL-Series product line has been UL/ULC listed as compatible with all Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP) and acces-
sories that have been determined to be compatible with Siemens model ST-Strobe based products including the ST, CH, SE, SEF,
SET,ST,HS,MTH,S-HQ, SA, STH, ZR, and ZH Series. The maximum number of SL-Series devices per NAC is determined by divid¬ing
the maximum current rating of the FACP NAC divided by the total appropriate current rating for the selected candela output of the SL-
Series devices, with a maximum of 105 SL-Series devices per NAC. Refer to FACP installation instructions for more detail. The Siemens
LED based SL-Series strobes may be installed in the same notication zone and eld of view with any ST Strobe based product

*UL1638 is an on axis rating where the following applies: e󰀨ective candela rating per UL1971;
Warning: Amber strobes are not to be used as a visual public mode alarm notication appliance.
Siemens LED based SL-Series LED3 Strobes can provide a non-synchronized strobe appliance when connected directly to a Fire
Alarm Control Panel (FACP), or provide a synchronized strobe appliance when used in conjunction with an FACP that incorporates the
Siemens sync protocol, a Dual Sync Module (DSC), or the Siemens Power Supply.
NOTE: The Code 3 temporal pattern (1/2 second on, 1/2 second o󰀨, 1/2 second on, 1/2 second o󰀨, 1/2 second on, 1-1/2 o󰀨 and
repeat) is specied by ANSI and NFPA 72 for standard emergency evacuation signaling.

When calculating the total currents use Tables 3 - 5 to determine the highest value of RMS current for an individual appliance, then multiply these
values by the total number of appliances. Be sure to add the currents for any other appliances, including audible signaling appliances powered by
the same source, and to include any required safety factors.
