GENERAL:
The Wheelock Eluxa series ELCH Chime and ELCHS Chime-Strobe appliances are designed for easy installation with a pre-wire capable
mounting plate. All models are for 24V operation. Series ELCH/ELCHS Eluxa Chime is UL Listed for indoor fire protection service under
Standard UL464 for Private Mode Audible Signal Appliances as well as ULC-S525-2016 (Audible Signaling Devices for Fire Alarm and
Signaling Systems). The Eluxa Chime is designed for low current draw and versatile performance. The Eluxa Chime offers a choice of
1Hz, 2Hz, coded, or temporal code 3 (T3) operation. It has an adjustable sound level, and operates at a frequency of 890Hz. The Low
Profile design incorporates a high efficiency speaker for maximum output at minimum power, and features a sealed back construction for
extra protection and improved audibility. These models are listed for indoor use, wall mount with the backboxes specified in these
instructions (see mounting options). Model ELCH (non-strobe) may be wall or ceiling mounted.
The Wheelock Eluxa Series meets NFPA 2016 20 millisecond light pulse duration code requirements. In addition, the Wheelock Eluxa and
LED3 product lines have been UL/ULC listed as compatible with all Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP) and accessories that have been
determined to be compatible with Wheelock model RSS Strobe based products including the RSS, CH, E, EH, ET,ST,HS,MT,S8, SA, STH
and Z Series. The maximum number of Eluxa devices per NAC is determined by dividing the maximum current rating of the FACP NAC by
the total current rating of one Eluxa device, with a maximum of 105 Eluxa (or LED3) devices per NAC. Refer to FACP installation instructions
for more detail. The Wheelock Eluxa Series and Exceder LED3 Series strobes may be installed in the same notification zone and field of
view with any RSS Strobe based product.

** Setting will determine the current draw of the product.
When calculating the total currents: Use Table 2A and Table 3 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 powered by the same
source and include any required safety factors.
Make sure that the total RMS current required required by all appliances that are connected to the system’s PRIMARY and SECONDARY
power sources, NAC circuits, DSM Sync Modules or Wheelock Power Supplies does not exceed the power sources’ rated capacity or the
current ratings of any fuses on the circuits to which these appliances are wired.
Check the minimum and maximum output of the power supply and standby battery, and subtract the voltage drop from the circuit wiring
resistance to determine the applied voltage to the appliance.

NOTES:
1. The strobe will produce 1 flash per second over the "Regulated Voltage" range.
2. Strobe is not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off.
3. The maximum number of Eluxa or LED3 strobes on a single notification appliance circuit shall not exceed 105.
4. These appliances are UL Listed as “Regulated”. They are intended to be used with FACPs whose notification circuits are UL Listed
as “Regulated.” Refer to the FACP instructions or the Wheelock Strobe Compatibility Data Sheet (P85328) for special application
and strobe synchronization compatibility.
5. These appliances were tested to the regulated voltage limits of 16.0-33.0 Volts. Do not apply voltage outside of this range. Check
the minimum and maximum output of the power supply and standby battery and subtract the voltage drop from the circuit wiring
resistance to determine the applied voltage to the strobes. The max wire impedance between strobes shall not exceed 35 ohms.
6. Make sure that the total RMS current required by all appliances that are connected to the system’s primary and secondary power
sources, notification appliance circuits, DSM sync modules, or Wheelock power supplies does not exceed the power sources rated
capacity or the current ratings of any fuses on the circuits to which these appliances are wired.
7. The Code 3 temporal pattern (1/2 second on, 1/2 second off, 1/2 second on, 1/2 second off, 1/2 second on, 1-1/2 off and repeat) is
specified by ANSI and NFPA 72 for standard emergency evacuation signaling. Code 3 shall be used only for fire evacuation signaling
and not for any other purpose.
8. The effect of shipping and storage temperatures shall not adversely affect the performance of the appliance when it is stored in the

Refer to Figure 3 for location of SW1 and Volume Control.
Synchronized Mode Settings: The chime will produce temporal Code 3 (T3) “Chime Tone” on 1Hz, 2Hz (and T3) settings. Coded setting
is not compatible with synchronization, and should not be used.
Continuous Mode Settings: T3 (Code 3), 1Hz, and 2Hz: Continuous input voltage must be applied to operate the chime in these modes.
Coded Operating Mode: Set SW1 to “Coded” setting. See Table 4, and Figure 3A. The minimum input pulse duration required is 160 milli-
seconds “ON” time, and 160 milli-seconds “OFF” time. The chime will operate once for each input pulse. This mode is recommended for
coded systems where voltage is not continuous. Requires two circuits, since strobes are not compatible with Coded Systems.
SETTINGS: To set candela, slide the selector switch to the desired setting. See Figure 3B.

MOUNTING PROCEDURES:
1. Select a mounting option and install the backbox. ELSPKBB requires 5 1/8” spacing for surface mounting. Screws are provided.
Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product. Do not pass
additional wires (used for other than the signaling appliance) through the backbox. Such additional wires could result in insufficient
wiring space for the signaling appliance.
2. Install the Mounting Plate on the backbox. Use 8-32 screws for 4” back-box or hi-lo screws for the ELSPKBB.
3. Pre-Wire: Connect field wires to terminals on mounting plate (reference Figure 1 and 2). Use care and proper techniques to position
the field wires in the backbox so that they use minimum space and produce minimum stress on the product. This is especially
important for stiff, heavy gauge wires and wires with thick insulation or sheathing. When terminating field wires, do not use more
lead length than required. Excess lead length could result in insufficient wiring space for the signaling appliance.
4. Pre-Test: Mounting Plate contains a SHUNT between adjacent “+” terminals to facilittate testing before device is attached.
Note: Shunt will open permanently when device is installed on mounting plate.
5. Verify appliance settings are correct for your application. Settings are shown in Fig. 3A, 3B. Factory settings are T3 (Code 3), 15cd.
6. Place the Eluxa appliance over the mounting plate. Engage TOP hook on mounting plate, then secure with screw at the bottom.
Use care to prevent speaker cone damage when driving the screw.
7. Align cover to the Eluxa appliance with strobe opening over LED lens. Then, snap the cover in place.
8. To remove the appliance, insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the bottom opening ½” as shown in Figure 5. Then lift off grille.
9. Accessories for Eluxa surface back box (Ceiling): ELSPKBB-R (Red); ELSPKBB-W (White).
Important: Do not fully back out terminal screws. Do not over tighten screws or terminals. Excessive torque may affect
operation. When using power tools, ensure the torque is set to the lowest setting available.
