tion manual for future reference.
GENERAL
The Wheelock Series E70H/E90H High Fidelity Low Profile Speakers are UL
Listed under UL Standard 1480 for Speaker Appliances and ULC Listed under
Standard CAN/ULC-S541-07 for Speaker Appliances. They are designed for
multiple power requirements with high dBA output at each power tap. All models
offer a choice of field selectable taps, 1/8W to 2W, for either 25.0 VRMS or 70.0
VRMS audio systems. The Low Profile design incorporates a high efficiency
speaker for maximum output at minimum power across a frequency range of
300-8000Hz. The Series E70H/90 appliances also incorporate a Speaker Mount-
ing Plate attached to the speaker for ease of installation. All models are Listed
for indoor use only with the backboxes specified in these instructions (see wir-
ing and mounting information). 1/8W tap setting for Private Mode only.
NOTE: All Canadian Installations should be in accordance with the Canadian
Standard for the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems - CAN/ULC-S524-01 and
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1. Final acceptance is subject to Authorities Hav-
ing Jurisdiction.
WARNING: The speaker appliance is a “fire alarm device - do not paint”.
WARNING: Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to comply with
any of the following instructions, cautions and warnings could result in
improper application, installation and/or operation of these products in an
emergency situation, which could result in property damage and serious
injury or death to you and/or others.

NOTES
Models are Listed for indoor use with a temperature range of +32°F to
1.
+120°F (0°C to +49°C) and maximum humidity of 93% RH. The effect of
shipping and storage temperatures shall not adversely affect the perfor-
mance of the appliance when it is stored in the original cartons and is not
subjected to misuse or abuse.
The maximum supervision voltage is 33 volts DC.2.
Frequency range of speakers is 300-8000Hz.3.
CAUTION: Always operate audio amplifiers and speakers within their specified
ratings. Excessive input may distort sound quality and may damage audio equip-
ment. Do not exceed 100% of speaker input voltage per UL 1480. Improper
input voltage can damage speaker. If distortion is heard, check for clipping of the
audio appliance with an oscilloscope and reduce the amplifier input level or gain
level to eliminate any clipping.
WIRING AND MOUNTING INFORMATION
CAUTION: The following figures show the maximum number of field wires (con-
ductors) that can enter the backbox used with each mounting option. If these
limits are exceeded, there may be insufficient space in the backbox to accom-
modate the field wires and stresses from the wires could damage the product.
Check that the installed product will have sufficient clearance and wiring room
prior to installing backboxes and conduit, especially if sheathed multiconductor
cable or 3/4-inch (1.9-cm) conduit fittings are used.
Although the limits shown for each mounting option comply with the National
Electrical Code (NEC), Cooper Notification recommends use of the largest
backbox option shown and the use of approved stranded field wires, whenever
possible, to provide additional wiring room for easy installation and minimum
stress on the product from wiring.
NOTE: Surface backbox (SBB) in Figure B is compatible with wiremold and
conduit, mounting holes are for single-gang, double-gang, 4-inch (10.16-cm)
sq. (10.16-cm), 3-1/2-inch (8.9-cm) and 4-inch (10.16-cm) octagon or round
backboxes.

This model has in-out wiring terminals that accept two #12 to #18 AmericanŘ
Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at each screw terminal. Strip leads 3/8 inches (.96
cm) and connect to screw terminals.
Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuits to ensure integrity of circuitŘ
supervision as shown in Figure 1. The polarity shown in the wiring diagrams
is for operation of the appliances.

WARNING: Check electrical ratings specified in tables 1 and 2 (as appropri-
ate) to ensure proper input. Check to ensure that wiring at facp is correct.
Improper electrical input can damage the product or cause it to malfunc-
tion, which could result in property damage and serious injury or death to
you and/or others.

Each doubling of rated Watts increases sound output by 3 dBA. Field select-1.
able input terminals are provided on each unit. The following wattage selec-
tions are available: 1/8W, 1/4W, 1/2W, 1W and 2W.
Each letter corresponds to a plug position of the header located on the2.
printed circuit board. Select voltage and wattage as shown in Table 3 below.
A 1.53. μF blocking capacitor for DC supervision of audio lines by the FACP is
factory wired in series with the speaker input.
NOTE: Use needle nose pliers to pull and properly insert the jumper plug to the
desired tap setting.

MOUNTING PROCEDURES
These models can be flush mounted to a 4-inch (10.16) square by 2-1/8-inch
1.
(5.52-cm) deep backbox with a 4-inch (10.16-cm) sq. 1-1/2-inch (3.81-cm)
extension ring (Figure A) or surface mounted to a surface backbox (Figure B).
Mounting hardware for each mounting option is supplied.
Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide sufficient2.
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.
When terminating field wires, do not use more lead length than required.
3.
Excess lead length could result in insufficient wiring space for the signaling
appliance.
Use care and proper techniques to position the field wires in the backbox so4.
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.
These models have an integrated speaker mounting plate which must be
5.
oriented correctly when it is mounted to the backbox. Turn the speaker
mounting plate so that the arrows above the word “Top” point to the top side
of the speaker mounting plate.
Mount the speaker mounting plate to the backbox. Next slide the grille over6.
the speaker mounting plate and attach with (2) screws.
WARNING: The E70H/E90H speaker appliance is a “fire alarm device - do not
paint.”
If this appliance is required to produce a distinctive three-pulse Temporal Pattern
Fire Alarm Evacuation Signal (for total evacuation) in accordance with NFPA 72,
the appliance must be used with a fire alarm control unit that can generate the
temporal pattern signal. Refer to manufacturer’s installation manual for details.
CAUTION: Check the installation instructions of the manufacturers of other
equipment used in the system for any guidelines or restrictions on wiring and/or
locating Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC) and notification appliances. Some
system communication circuits and/or audio circuits, for example, may require
special precautions to ensure electrical noise immunity (e.g., audio crosstalk).
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired operation.
