GENERAL
The Wheelock Eluxa series ELFHNC Sounder and ELFHSC Sounder Strobe appliances are designed for easy installation with a
pre-wire capable mounting plate. All models are for 24V operation. The ELFHNC and ELFHSC Sounders are rated as low frequency
devices per UL 464 suitable for sleeping areas per NFPA 72. The ELFHNC sounder 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 notication zone and eld of view with any RSS Strobe based product.
Wheelock Eluxa Low Frequency Sounder Strobe 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 sync protocol, a Dual Sync Module (DSM) or a Wheelock Power Supply. When set to the T3/4 setting, a DSM Sync Module can
toggle the ELFHSC and ELFHNC between Code 3 for re/emergency evacuation and Code 4 for carbon monoxide

NOTES:
1. Candela/Sounder Setting will determine the current draw of the product.
2. Strobes will produce 1 ash per second over the “Regulated Voltage” range.
3. Strobes are not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and o󰀨.
4. When calculating the total currents use 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, including
audible signaling appliances powered by the same source, and to include any required safety factors.
5. Make sure that the total RMS current required by all appliances that are connected to the system’s primary and secondary
power sources, notication appliance circuits, DSM sync modules, or Wheelock power supplies does not exceed the power
sourcesrated capacity or the current ratings of any fuses on the circuits to which these appliances are wired. Refer to Sync
Module instruction sheets DSM (P83177) or Wheelock Power Supplies for additional information.
6. 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 device.
7. These appliances were tested to the regulated voltage limits of 16.0-33.0 Volts for 24 volt models using ltered DC or
unltered DC. Do not apply voltage outside of this range.
8. These notication appliances are UL Listed as “Regulated”. They are intended to be used with Fire Alarm Control Panels
(FACPs) whose notication 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. When using Sounder Only
models on a FACP Listed as Special Application, do not exceed 85% of Maximum NAC current Rating.
WARNING : OVERLOADING POWER SOURCES OR EXCEEDING FUSE RATINGS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER
AND FAILURE TO ALERT OCCUPANTS DURING AN EMERGENCY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
NOTE: NFPA 72/ANSI 117.1 conform to ADAAG Equivalent Facilitation Guidelines in using fewer, higher intensity strobes within the
same protected area.
WARNING: WHEN INSTALLING STROBES IN AN OPEN OFFICE OR OTHER AREAS CONTAINING PARTITIONS OR OTHER
VIEWING OBSTRUCTIONS, SPECIAL ATTENTION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE LOCATION OF THE STROBES SO THAT
THEIR OPERATING EFFECT CAN BE SEEN BY ALL INTENDED VIEWERS, WITH THE INTENSITY, NUMBER, AND TYPE OF
STROBES BEING SUFFICIENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INTENDED VIEWER IS ALERTED BY PROPER ILLUMINATION,
REGARDLESS OF THE VIEWER’S ORIENTATION.
WARNING A SMALL POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT THE USE OF MULTIPLE STROBES WITHIN A PERSON’S FIELD OF VIEW,
UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, MIGHT INDUCE A PHOTO-SENSITIVE RESPONSE IN PERSONS WITH EPILEPSY.
STROBE REFLECTIONS IN A GLASS OR MIRRORED SURFACE MIGHT ALSO INDUCE SUCH A RESPONSE. TO MINIMIZE
THIS POSSIBLE HAZARD, COOPER WHEELOCK STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STROBES INSTALLED SHOULD
NOT PRESENT A COMPOSITE FLASH RATE IN THE FIELD OF VIEW WHICH EXCEEDS FIVE (5) HZ AT THE OPERAT-
ING VOLTAGE OF THE STROBES. COOPER WHEELOCK ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE INTENSITY AND
COMPOSITE FLASH RATE OF INSTALLED STROBES COMPLY WITH LEVELS ESTABLISHED BY APPLICABLE LAWS,
STANDARDS, REGULATIONS, CODES AND GUIDELINES.

WIRING, SETTINGS AND MOUNTING:
• All Eluxa horn/strobe appliances have terminals that accept #12 to #18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at each screw terminal.
Strip leads 3/8 inches and connect to screw terminals. Do not fully back out terminal screws.
• Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuits to ensure integrity of circuit supervision as shown in Figure 3. The polarity shown in
Figure 2, the wiring diagram, is for the operation of the appliances. The polarity is reversed by the FACP during supervision.
• T3/T4 Sync Selectable operation requires a DSM-12/24. Refer to DSM (P83177) instructions. All appliances must be set to T3/T4.
Code 4 (T4) operation occurs when both Strobe NAC and Audible NAC remain active. Code 3 (T3) operation occurs when Strobe
NAC is active, and Audible NAC is not acttive. (Audible Silence function is available only when using Continuos or T3 setting). The
FACP’s Notication Appliance Circuits (NAC) to DSM must be continuous DC in Alarm. Inputs to DSM may not be synchronized.

CAUTION: Check that the installed product will have su󰀩cient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes
and conduit, especially if sheathed multiconductor cable or 3/4-inch conduit ttings are used.
Wiring method shall be in accordance with:
1) In the United States, the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72.
2) In Canada, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, Section 32.
MOUNTING PROCEEDURE:
1. Select a mounting option and install the backbox. LSPKBB-C requires 6 1/4” spacing for surface mounting. Screws are pro-
vided. Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide su󰀩cient 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
insu󰀩cient 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 LSPKBB-C.
3. Pre-Wire: Connect eld wires to terminals on mounting plate (reference Figure 2 and 3). Use care and proper techniques to
position the eld wires in the backbox so that they use minimum space and produce minimum stress on the product. This is
especially important for sti󰀨, heavy gauge wires and wires with thick insulation or sheathing. When terminating eld wires, do
not use more lead length than required. Excess lead length could result in insu󰀩cient 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. Selector switch is shown in Figure 4. Strobe settings are 110cd, 177cd.
Sound Settings are CONT, T3, T3/4 (Continuous, Code 3, Code 3/Code 4 respectively). Use Code 3 for re emergency only,
and Code 4 for carbon monoxide emergency only. Factory settings are High dB, Code 3 (T3), and 177cd.
6. Place the ELUXA appliance over the mounting plate. Engage HOOK on mounting plate, then secure with screw on oposite side.
Use care to prevent speaker cone damage when driving the screw.
7. Align cover to the ELUXA appliance with Candela Window over Candela Selector. Then, snap the cover in place.
8. To remove the appliance, insert a small at-bladed screwdriver into the bottom opening ½” as shown in Figure 5. Then pry o󰀨
beauty cover with the screwdriver.
9. Accessories for ELUXA surface back box (Ceiling): LSPKBB-CR (Red); LSPKBB-CW (White).
