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

(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

PRODUCTS. THESE MATERIALS CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT SHOULD BE READ PRIOR
TO SPECIFYING OR INSTALLING THESE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING:

• TOTAL CURRENT REQUIRED BY ALL APPLIANCES CONNECTED TO SYSTEM SECONDARY POWER
SOURCES.

• FUSE RATINGS ON NOTIFICATION APPLIANCE CIRCUITS TO HANDLE PEAK CURRENTS FROM ALL
APPLIANCES ON THOSE CIRCUITS.

• ADDING, REPLACING OR CHANGING APPLIANCES WILL EFFECT CURRENT DRAW. RECALCULATE
CURRENT DRAW TO INSURE THAT THE TOTAL AVERAGE CURRENT AND TOTAL PEAK REQUIRED BY
ALL APPLIANCES DO NOT EXCEED THE RATED CAPACITY OF THE POWER SOURCE OR FUSES

• COMPOSITE FLASH RATE FROM MULTIPLE STROBES WITHIN A PERSON’S FIELD OF VIEW.

• THE VOLTAGE APPLIED TO THESE PRODUCTS MUST BE WITHIN THEIR “REGULATED VOLTAGE

RANGE”.

• USE STROBES ONLY ON CIRCUITS WITH CONTINUOUSLY APPLIED OPERATING VOLTAGE. DO NOT
USE STROBES ON CODED OR INTERRUPTED CIRCUITS IN WHICH THE APPLIED VOLTAGE IS CYCLED
ON AND OFF AS THE STROBE MAY NOT FLASH.

• FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OR GENERAL INFORMATION
SHEETS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER INSTALLATION, APPLICATION, 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.

ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS SPECIFICATIONS

WEATHERPROOF SERIES ET70WP

The Weatherproof Low Profi le Speaker Strobe shall be Wheelock Series ET70WP for wall and ceiling applications or
approved equal. The Series ET70WP shall meet and be listed for UL Standard 1638 (Standard for Visual Signaling
Appliances) for Indoor/Outdoor use, Fire Protective Service and UL Standard 1480 (Standard for Speaker Appliances.
The strobe portion of the ET70WP shall produce a fl ash rate of 30-62 fl ashes per minute over the Regulated Voltage
Range of 16 to 33 VDC and shall incorporate a Xenon fl ashtube enclosed in a rugged Lexan lens to provide maximum
visibility and reliability for effective visible signaling. The strobe shall be rated 180cd @ 77°F (25°C) and 75cd at -31°F
(-35°C) and shall operate over an extended temperature range at -31°F to 150°F (-35°C to 66°C) and be listed for
maximum humidity at 95% RH. For outdoor applications the ET70WP shall be wall mounted to a weatherproof back
box (IOB). The speakers shall be designed for multiple power requirements with a high dBA output at each power tap.
The low profi le model shall offer 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 shall incorporate a high effi ciency speaker for maximum output at minimum
power across a frequency range of 400Hz to 4000Hz and features a sealed back construction for extra protection
and improved audibility. When synchronization of the strobe is required, the strobe portion of the appliance shall be
compatible with Wheelock’s SM, DSM sync modules or Wheelock’s PS-12/24-8CP and PS-12/24-8MP Power Supplies
with built-in Patented Sync Protocol. If the sync module or syncprotocol in the Power Supply shall fail to operate (i.e.,

contacts remain closed), the strobe shall revert to a non-synchronized fl ash rate.

Due to continuous development of our products, specifi cations and offerings are subject to change without notice in accordance
with Wheelock Inc. standard terms and conditions.
