Description

The NEW Wheelock Series E60 Ceiling 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. These E60 Multi-Candela ceiling appliances are part of
the new family of ceiling mount strobe appliances that will also be
available on strobes, horns and horn/strobes. Optional Extender
(E60 Ext) is for mounting to 4” backboxes with no extension ring.

The Series E60 Speaker Strobe models incorporate the Low Current
draw Series RSS Strobes. These ceiling mount round models are
available in Wheelock 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 E60 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 low profile design incorporates a speaker mounting plate for
faster and easier installation. Each model has a built-in level adjust­ment feature and snap-on cover with no visible mounting screws.

The strobe portion of all Series E60 Speaker Strobes may be
synchronized when used in conjunction with the Wheelock SM,
DSM Sync Modules or the Wheelock PS-24-8MC Power Supply
with Patented Sync Protocol. Wheelock synchronized strobes offer
an easy way to comply with ADA recommendations concerning
photosensitive epilepsy.

Series E60 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 Series E60 Speakers and Speaker Strobes
are red and white.

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”.

E60 Strobe Current - Ceiling Mount

* 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
audibles the max current is usually at the maximum
listed voltage (33v for 24v units). For unfiltered FWR
ratings, see installation instructions.

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 87 dB at 10 feet and a listed frequency response of 400 to 4000 Hz. The speaker
shall also 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 incorporate a
Xenon flashtube enclosed in a rugged Lexan® lens. The strobe 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 15/30/75/95cd or 115/177cd
for ceiling mount. The selector switch for selecting the candela shall be tamper resistant.

When synchronization is required, the strobe portion of the appliance shall be compatible with Wheelock SM, DSM sync modules or
the 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. The speaker and speaker strobe shall
incorporate a speaker mounting plate with a snap-on grille cover with no visible screws for a level, aesthetic finish and shall mount to
