Description
The Wheelock Series E50 Speakers and Speaker Strobes feature
high efficiency sound output, with dual voltage (25/70 VRMS)
capability and field selectable taps from 1/8 to 2 watts. They are
designed to provide a sleek, aesthetic appearance for emergency
voice/alarm communications systems. All Series E50 models
mount to standard 4” x 2-1/8” electrical boxes (with no extension
ring required) and incorporate a speaker mounting plate for faster
installation. The grille cover snaps on so no mounting screws are
visible. Attractive surface boxes are also available for surface
installations.
The Series E50 Speaker Strobe models use Wheelock low current
draw Series RSS strobes for wall mounted applications. Strobe
options include patented MCW multi-candela strobes with field
selectable candela settings of 15/30/75/110 cd or high intensity
MCWH strobes with field selectable 135/185 candela. Models with
1575 candela (75 cd on axis) are also offered.
Series E50 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 the Wheelock’s PS-24-8MC Power Supply
with Patented Sync Protocol. Wheelock synchronized strobes offer
an easy way to comply with ADA and NFPA regulations concerning
photosensitive epilepsy.
Series E50 Speaker Strobes are UL Listed for indoor use under
Standard 1971 (Signaling Devices for the Hearing-Impaired) and
Standard 1480 (Speaker Appliances). All inputs employ IN/OUT
wiring terminals for fast installation using #12 to #18 AWG wiring
and are compatible with FACP line supervision.
Color options for the Series E50 Speakers and Speaker Strobes
are red or off-white.

NOTE: All CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are identified by the symbol . All warnings are printed in bold capital letters.
WARNING: PLEASE READ THESE SPECIFICATIONS AND ASSOCIATED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING, SPECIFYING OR
APPLYING THIS PRODUCT. VISIT WWW.COOPERWHEELOCK.COM OR CONTACT COOPER WHEELOCK FOR THE CURRENT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
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.
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 NS Strobe products 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 93% (± 2%).
• Series NH horns are listed under UL Standard 464 for audible signal appliances (Indoor use only).
• “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”.

* RMS current ratings are per UL average 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 unfiltered FWR ratings, see installation
instructions.

Architects and Engineers Specifications
The speaker appliances shall be Wheelock Series E50 Speakers and the speaker strobe appliances shall be Wheelock Series E50
Speaker Strobes or approved equals. The speakers shall be UL Listed under Standard 1480 for Fire Protective Service and speakers
equipped with strobes shall be listed under UL Standard 1971 for Emergency Devices for the Hearing-Impaired. In addition, the strobes
shall be certified to meet the requirements of FCC Part 15, Class B.
All speakers shall be designed for a field selectable input of either 25 or 70 VRMS, with selectable power taps from 1/8 watt to 2 watts.
All models shall have listed sound output of up to 89 dBA at 10 feet and a listed frequency response of 400 to 4000 Hz. The speaker
shall incorporate a sealed back construction. All inputs shall employ terminals that accept #12 to #18 AWG wire sizes. The strobe
portion of the appliance shall produce a flash rate of one (1) flash per second over the Regulated Voltage Range and shall be of low
current design. Where Multi-Candela Speaker Strobes are specified, the strobe intensity shall have field selectable settings and shall
be rated per UL Standard 1971 at 15/30/75/110cd or 135/185cd for wall mounting. The selector switch for selecting the candela shall
be tamper resistant. The 1575 candela strobe shall be specified when 15 candela UL Standard 1971 Listing with 75 candela on-axis
is required.
When synchronization is required, the strobe portion of the appliance shall be compatible with the Wheelock’s SM, DSM sync modules
or Wheelock PS-24-8MC Power Supply with built-in Patented Sync Protocol. The strobes shall not drift out of synchronization at any
time during operation. If the sync module or Power Supply fails to operate, (i.e., contacts remain closed), the strobe shall revert to a
non-synchronized flash rate.
The speaker and speaker strobe appliances shall be designed for indoor flush mounting to 4” x 2-1/8” electrical boxes without need
for an extension ring or surface mounting to Wheelock’s E50SB or E50SSB surface boxes. The speaker and speaker strobe shall
incorporate a speaker mounting plate with a snap-on grille cover. The finish of the Series E50 speakers and speakers strobes shall
be white or red.
