The System Sensor® P1224 Series Wall‐mount
Field‐selectable Horn Strobes offer a range of candela
options at 12 V or 24 V in one unit. The candela selection is
easy and secure with the candela selection switch on the
back of the unit. To inhibit vandalism, once the unit is
locked into place with the QuickClick system, a special key
is needed to remove the unit. Even after the unit is installed
on the wall, workers doing maintenance or authorities
having jurisdiction (AHJs) doing inspections can easily read
the candela selection from the candela indicator on the side
of the lens without removing the unit from the wall.

2 | P1224 Series Wall‐mount Field‐selectable Horn Strobes
When used in applications requiring the appliance to be
weather‐proof or outdoor listed, the P1224MCK model
must be used. It must be installed to the SSWBB
Weatherproof Back Box using the supplied mounting plate
and gasket.
Indoor Applications
These horn strobes are equipped with a mounting plate that
can be mounted to the indicated back boxes for the
indicated applications:
Conduit
Applications
Surface
Mounted
Flush
Mounted
Single‐gang • 1
four‐inch square • • 2 •
1 Flush mounting on a single‐gang box requires using an
SSS‐MP Small Footprint Mounting Plate.
2 Surface mounting on a four‐inch square back box requires
the use of a surface mount back box skirt (SSBBS or
SSBBSW).
Strobe Cautions
Do not exceed:
• The voltage range for the chosen nominal voltage (8 V
to 17.5 V for 12 V nominal or 16 V to 33 V for 24 V
nominal)
• 70 strobes and a maximum line impedance of 4 Ω per
loop when using a synchronization module
• The maximum line impedance of the control panel
Wiring
Note
These strobe units are not recommended for
use in coded or pulsed signaling circuits.
The input terminals accept wires with diameters between
18 AWG (1.2 mm) and 12 AWG (2.3 mm).

1 When set at these settings (15 cd or 15/75 cd) the devices
automatically work on both 12 V and 24 V power supplies.
The 15/75 cd selection is listed at 15 cd per UL1971 but
provides 75 cd on axis.
2 The strobe is not listed for 12 V operating voltages when
set to these selections (30 cd, 75 cd, and 110 cd). When
using a 12 V control panel, this device yields required light
output only in the 15 cd and 15/75 cd settings.
