The Wheelock Weatherproof Speaker Strobe is
designed for maximum performance, reliability, and
cost effectiveness while meeting or exceeding the
latest requirements of NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm
Code), UL Standard 1638 (Standard for Visual Signaling
Appliances), and UL Standard 1480 (Standard for
Speaker Appliances).
The strobe has a 75 candela intensity on axis at -31°F
(-35°C) and 180cd at 77°F (25°C) with low current
draw. For outdoor applications the ET70WP–2475WFR must be wall mounted to a Weatherproof Back Box
(IOB). The speakers are designed for multiple power
requirements with high dBA output at each power tap.
The low profi le model offers a choice of fi eld selectable
taps, 1/8W to 8W for either 25.0 VRMS or 70.0 VRMS
audio systems. The low profi le design incorporates
a high efficiency speaker for maximum output at
minimum power across a frequency range of 400 Hz
to 4000 Hz and features a sealed back construction
for extra protection and improved audibility. The low
profi le speaker strobes can provide non-synchronized
operation when directly connected to the Fire Alarm
Control Panel, or synchronized strobe operation when
used in conjunction with a Wheelock Sync Module
(SM), Dual Sync Module (DSM), or Wheelock Power
Supplies (PS-12/24-8CP and PS-12/24-8MP) with builtin patented sync protocol. The strobes use a Xenon
fl ashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a rugged
Lexan lens to provide maximum visibility and reliability
for effective visible signaling.

WARNING: PLEASE READ THESE SPECIFICATIONS AND ASSOCIATED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING, SPECIFYING OR APPLYING THIS PRODUCT. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THESE INSTUCTIONS,
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:
• Wheelock UL 1638 Strobes are designed to produce 30-62 fl ashes per minute over the Regulated Voltage Range. If used in an indoor application,
UL 1638 strobes must be operated at a minimum of 20 VDC to meet the NFPA-72 (1999) fl ash rate of 1 to 2 fl ashes pers second and ADA Guideline
fl ash rate of 1 to 3 fl ashes per second.
• Wheelock Weatherproof Appliances are designed to operate over an extended temperature range of -31°F to 150°F (-35°C to 66°C) and all candela
ratings represent minimum effective strobe intensity based on UL 1638. Maximum humidity of 93% RH ± 2%.
• “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”.

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 unfi ltered FWR ratings, see
installation instructions.
