Eaton Wheelock Eluxa ELHN Instruction manual

Description
The Wheelock Eluxa horns, horn strobes, and strobes by Eaton
feature an advanced power saving LED technology with a full range
of low and high candela settings for indoor wall and ceiling-mount
applications. Designed in sleek, modern enclosures, Eluxa’s
aesthetically pleasing low profile will blend with the building‘s
interior décor.
High efficiency, LED technology
Eaton’s high energy efficient technology leads the industry in
lowest current draw for a combined high and low candela device,
which reduces overall power consumption. As the first notification
appliances in the industry to utilize LED as the light source, this
breakthrough optical design, resulting in best-in-class efficiency,
enables material and system cost savings, allowing for a greater
number of appliances on the notification appliance circuit and fewer
power supplies. This reduces installation and operating costs. All
strobe models feature six candela settings: 15, 30, 75, 110, 135,
185 cd on wall models and 15, 30, 75, 110, 150, 177 cd on ceiling
models.
Low profile design and rich feature set
With the industry’s smallest footprint, the Eluxa horns, horn strobes,
and strobes are aesthetically pleasing to building owners as the
low profile design does not detract from the interior decor. Eluxa is
feature rich with 6 candela settings and 3 horn patterns (Continuous,
T3, T3/T4) in 1 device, pre-wire/pre-test via mounting plate with
hinged feature for ease-of-installation, single-gang design (wall
models), and no tools needed for setting changes. The ELST strobe,
ELHS horn strobe, and the ELHN horn are for 24V operation. ELHN
is suitable for 12V applications.
Approvals and synchronization
Eaton’s Eluxa strobes meet the 20 millisecond light pulse duration
requirements of the 2016 edition of NFPA 72. By meeting this latest
requirement, xenon and LED devices can now be in the same field
of view.
The Eluxa notification appliances are listed under UL Standards
1971, 1638, and 464 and under CAN/ULC-S525 and CAN/ULC-S526.
The appliances are Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
compliant and contain no mercury or other hazardous substances.
In addition, the Eluxa product line has been UL/ULC listed as
compatible with all Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP) and accessories
that have been determined to be compatible with Exceder LED3 and
Wheelock RSS strobe-based products including the RSS, CH, E, EH,
ET, ST, HS, MT, S8, SA, STH and Z Series. The listing also includes
the ability to install the Eluxa strobes in the same notification zone
and field of view with any Wheelock RSS and Exceder LED3 strobe
models.

General Notes
• Strobes are designed to flash at 1 flash per second minimum over
their “Regulated Voltage Range.” Note that NFPA-72 specifies a
flash rate of 1 to 2 flashes per second and ADA Guidelines specify
a flash rate of 1 to 3 flashes per second.
• All candela ratings represent minimum effective strobe intensity
based on UL 1971.

a RMS current ratings are per UL maximum RMS method. UL max current rating is the maximum RMS current within the listed voltage range (16-33v for 24v units). For
strobes the UL max current is usually at the minimum listed voltage (16v for 24v units). For audibles the max current is usually at the maximum listed voltage (33v for
24v units). For unfiltered FWR ratings, see installation instructions.

Architects and Engineers Specifications
The LED notification appliances shall be Wheelock® ELHS audible
visual strobe appliances, ELST visual strobe appliances and ELHN
audible appliances for wall and ceiling-mount applications with a low-
profile design or approved equals. Special lettering, including AGENT,
ALERT, EVACUATE, and no lettering, shall be available. The ELHS
and ELST strobes shall be listed for UL Standard 1971 (Emergency
Devices for the Hearing-Impaired) for Indoor Fire Protection Service
and UL 1638 (Visible Signaling Devices. The ELHS and ELHN
Audibles shall be UL Listed under Standard 464 (Fire Protective
Signaling). All models shall meet the requirements of FCC Part 15
and ICES-003. All inputs shall be compatible with standard reverse
polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm Control Panel
(FACP) with the ability to operate from 16 to 33 VDC/VFWR.
The ELHS audible strobe and ELST strobe appliances shall produce
a flash rate of one (1) flash per second over the Regulated Voltage
Range and shall incorporate a Light Emitting Diode (LED) as the
light source with a rugged Lexan® lens. The appliances shall be of
low current design. The LED strobe flash duration shall be 20 ms.
Where Multi-Candela appliances are specified, the strobe intensity
shall have 6 field selectable settings at 15, 30, 75, 110, 135 and 185
candela for wall mount applications and 15, 30, 75, 110, 150 and 177
for ceiling applications. The selector switch for selecting the candela
shall be tamper resistant. Appliances with candela settings shall
show the candela selection in a visible location at all times when
installed.
The audible shall have a choice of three (3) horn patterns (high & low
output): Continuous, T3, and T3/T4 for fire (T3) and CO (T4) signaling.
The ELHS audible strobe, ELST strobe, and ELHN audible shall
include a hinged mounting plate. Mounting options shall include
LED backboxes, single-gang backbox and to 4” square with adapter
kit for wall-mount models and LED Ceiling backboxes and 4” square,
1 1/2” or 2 1/8”deep for ceiling models. Two wire appliance wiring
shall be capable of directly connecting to the mounting base.
Removal of an appliance shall result in a supervision fault condition
by the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). All notification appliances
shall be backwards compatible.
The ELHS, ELHN and ELST wall models shall have a low profile
measuring 4.79”H x 2.76”W x 1.18”D. The ELHSC, ELHNC and
ELSTC ceiling models shall have a low profile measuring 6.27”
Diameter with 1.69”D.
When synchronization is required, the appliance shall be compatible
with Wheelock®’s DSM Sync Modules, PS Power Supplies,
SAFEPATH products or other manufacturer’s panels with built-in
Wheelock® Patented Sync Protocol. The strobes shall not drift out
of synchronization at any time during operation. If the sync protocol
fails to operate, the strobe shall revert to a non-synchronized flash-
rate and still maintain (1) flash per second over its Regulated Voltage
Range. The appliance shall also be designed so that the audible
signal may be silenced while maintaining strobe activation when
used with Wheelock® patented sync protocol.
