Series Colored Lens Strobe Appliances: Strobes, Horns Strobes, Speaker

Strobes and Multitone Strobes with Amber, Blue, Green or Red Lens

Description:

Wheelock colored lens strobe notification appliances - strobes,
horn strobes*, speaker strobes, and multi-tone strobes - are built
with the same high quality circuits and parts used in the Cooper
Wheelock life safety strobes and speakers, and are available
with clear, amber or blue lenses, with other colors available
through special order. The colored lens strobe products are
listed under UL Standard 1638 for general signaling and the
amber lenses been tested to meet UL 1971 light distribution.
These appliances are suitable for indoor applications, with
specific models available for outdoor and weatherproof
applications. The indoor models can be wall or ceiling mounted
(model dependent) to standard electrical boxes or to Wheelock’s
surface mount boxes. The outdoor models can be wall mounted
to standard electrical boxes or to Wheelock’s surface mount
boxes. The RSS models have an integrated strobe mounting
plate that can be mounted to standard electrical boxes or to
Wheelock’s surface mount boxes.

The strobes have been tested to operate from 16 to 33 vdc
(using filtered or FWR voltage). Intensity options for these
models include multi-candela models with four field selectable
settings of 15, 30, 75, and 95cd. High ceiling models can be
field selectable for 115 or 177 cd.

Audible strobe appliances can be field set to provide either
High (HI) dBA, Medium (MED) dBA or Low (LO) dBA sound
output. Speaker strobes have field selectable input voltage of
25/70 VRMS and field selectable taps of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 2
watts. The Series E70-24MCC and E90-24MCC Multi-Candela
provides four selectable light output intensities in one unit and
incorporate a Speaker Mounting Plate attached to the speaker
for ease of installation. Weatherproof speaker strobes have field
selectable taps of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, and 8 watts.

All inputs are compatible with standard supervision of circuit
wiring by an FACP and provide a synchronized strobe appliance
when used in conjunction with a Sync Module (SM), Dual Sync
Module (DSM) or Wheelock power supplies with patented sync
protocol.
