GENERAL
The Wheelock Eluxa ELSPC and ELSPSTC Series High-Fidelity Multi-Candela Speaker Strobes are designed for easy installation with
a pre-wire capable mounting plate. The Speaker Strobes with Amber lens are for Private Mode Emergency General Utility Signaling.
Amber lens strobe appliances also comply with the polar distribution requirements in the UL Standard 1971 for Indoor Fire Protection
Service and NFPA-72 for Mass Notication Systems.
ELSPC and ELSPSTC series High-Fidelity Multi-Candela Speakers Strobes are designed for multiple power requirements with high dBA
output at each power tap. ELSPC and ELSPSTC series Speakers are UL rated to meet the NFPA 72 requirement for 520Hz signals in
sleeping areas when used in conjunction with Wheelock Safepath products (see SP40S manual for more details)
The design incorporates a high e󰀩ciency speaker for maximum output at minimum power across a frequency range of 300-8000Hz.
The strobes can provide non-synchronized strobe operation when connected directly to a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), or provide
synchronized strobe operation when used in conjunction with a Dual Sync Module (DSM), or Wheelock’s Power Supplies.
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.

NOTES:
1. Candela 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 strobe (across
the expected operating voltage range of the strobe), then multiply these values by the total number of strobes; be sure to add
the currents for any other appliances, including audible signaling appliances, powered by the same source and 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, NAC Circuits , DSM Sync Modules or Cooper Wheelock Power Supplies do not exceed the power sources’ rated
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 strobes.
7. Strobe appliance was 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. Strobe 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.
WARNING: AMBER STROBES ARE NOT TO BE USED AS A VISUAL PUBLIC MODE ALARM NOTIFICATION APPLIANCE.
WARNING: OVERLOADING POWER SOURCES OR EXCEEDING FUSE RATINGS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER
AND FAILURE TO ALERT OCCUPANTS DURING AN EMERGENCY.
CAUTION: Always operate audio ampliers and speakers within their specied ratings. Excessive input may distort
sound quality and may damage audio equipment. Improper input voltage can damage speaker. If distortion is heard, check
for clipping of the audio signal voltage with an oscilloscope and reduce the amplier input level or gain level to eliminate
any clipping.
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 INTESITY, NUMBER, AND ILLUMINA-
TION, 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.
NOTE: NFPA 72/ANSI 117.1 conforms to ADAAG Equivalent Facilitation Guidelines in using fewer, higher intensity strobes within the
same protected area.

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” 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 PROCEDURES:
1. Select a mounting option and install the backbox. LSPKBB-C requires 6 1/4” spacing for surface mounting. Screws are provided.
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 1 and 2). Ensure the speaker wiring is connected to
speaker terminals only, and strobe wiring is connected to strobe terminals only. 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 locations are shown in Figure 4. Strobe settings are 15cd,
30cd, 75cd, 95cd, 150cd, 177cd. Speaker Setting Chart is shown in Table 4. Factory settings are (F) 70V, 1/2W and 15cd.
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 cover, insert a small at-bladed screwdriver into the bottom opening ½” as shown in Figure 6. Then pry o󰀨 beauty
cover with the screwdriver.
