Wheelock E Series
Low-Profile Public Speakers and
Speaker Strobes
General
Wheelock Series E Low Profile Speakers and Speaker Strobes
are designed for high efficiency sound output, with dual voltage
(25/70 VRMS) capability and field selectable taps from 1/8 to 2
watts. The low profile design incorporates a speaker mounting
plate for faster and easier installation. Each model has a built-in
level adjustment feature and an aesthetic two (2) screw grille
cover.
The Series E Speaker Strobe models incorporate the low current draw series RSS strobes.
Strobe options for wall mount models include 1575 or Wheelock’s patented MCW multi-candela strobe with field selectable
candela settings of 15/30/75/110cd or the high intensity MCWH
strobe with field selectable 135/185cd.
Ceiling mount models are available in Wheelock’s patented
MCC multi-candela ceiling strobe with field selectable intensities
of 15/30/75/95cd or the high intensity MCCH strobe with field
selectable 115/177cd.
Series E Speakers and Speaker Strobes provide high audio output with clear audibility and are designed to meet the critical
needs of the life safety industry for effective emergency voice
communications, tone signaling and visible signaling to alert the
hearing impaired.
The strobe portion of all Series E Speaker Strobes may be synchronized when used in conjunction with the Wheelock SM,
DSM Sync Modules or a power supply with patented Wheelock
sync protocol. Wheelock’s synchronized strobes offer an easy
way to comply with ADA recommendations concerning photosensitive epilepsy.
Series E Speaker Strobes are UL Listed for indoor use under
Standard 1971 (Signaling Devices for the Hearing-Impaired)
and Standard 1480 (Speaker Appliances), and use a Xenon
flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a rugged Lexan®
lens to provide maximum reliability for effective visual signaling.
All inputs are supervised and employ IN/OUT wiring terminals
for fast installation using #12 to #18 AWG wiring.
Color options for the E Series Speakers and Speaker Strobes
offered are colored red or white.

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 Standard 1971.
• Series E Speaker Strobes and Series E Speakers are listed
under UL Standard 1971 for indoor use with a temperature
range of 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C) and maximum humidity
of 85%.
• “Regulated Voltage Range” is the newest terminology used
by UL to identify the voltage range. Prior to this change UL
used the terminology “Listed Voltage Range”.
NOTE: Please read these specifications and associated installation instructions carefully before using, specifying or applying this
product. Failure to comply with any of these instructions, cautions
or 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.

UL Max Current*
*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.
