The Wheelock Eluxa weatherproof series EL4XMTST/EL3RMTST Multi-Tone Strobe appliances are designed for easy installation with a pre-wire capable EL4XBB surface box or EL3RMP mounting plate. Eluxa 4X/3R Multi-Tone Strobe is UL Listed for fire protection service under Standard 1971 for Signaling Devices for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, UL1638 for Visual Signaling Devices and Standard 464 for Audible Signaling Devices. The Eluxa 4X/3R Multi-Tone is also ULC Listed under Standard ULC-526 for Visual Signaling Devices and under Standard ULC-525 for Audible Signaling Devices for Fire Alarm Systems. All Eluxa 4X/3R models are listed for indoor/outdoor use, and for wall or ceiling mount.
Eluxa 4X/3R Multi-Tone appliances can be field set to produce any one of eight commonly used alarm tones. Sound output can be field set to provide either HIGH (HI) dBA or STANDARD (STD) dBA sound output level. Eluxa Multi-Tone appliances are designed for use with either filtered or unfiltered Full-Wave-Rectified (FWR) input voltage. All inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm Panel (FACP). The Eluxa Multi-Tone appliance can be field set to provide a synchronized code 3 horn when used in conjunction with the Dual Sync Module (DSM) or Wheelock power supply.
The Wheelock Eluxa 4X/3R Series meets NFPA 2016 20 millisecond light pulse duration code requirements. In addition, the Wheelock Eluxa and LED3 product lines have been UL/ULC listed as compatible with all Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP) and accessories that have been determined to be compatible with Wheelock model RSS Strobe based products including the RSS, ASWP, CH, E, EH, ET,ST,HS,MT,S8, SA, STH and Z Series. The maximum number of Eluxa devices per NAC is determined by dividing the maximum current rating of the FACP NAC by the total current rating of one Eluxa device, with a maximum of 105 Eluxa (or LED3) devices per NAC. Refer to FACP installation instructions for more detail. The Wheelock Eluxa Series and Exceder LED3 Series strobes may be installed in the same notification zone and field of view with any RSS Strobe based product.
Eluxa 4X/3R Strobe can provide a non-synchronized strobe appliance when connected directly to a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), or provide a synchronized strobe appliance when used in conjunction with an FACP that incorporates the Wheelock Sync Protocol, a Dual Sync Module (DSM) or a Wheelock Power Supply.
CAUTION: Do not change factory applied finishes. “DO NOT PAINT”.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS 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.
NOTES:
- The strobe will produce 1 flash per second over the “Regulated Voltage” range.
- Strobe is not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off.
- The maximum number of Eluxa or LED3 strobes on a single notification appliance circuit shall not exceed 105.
- Amber strobe is certified as Emergency Warning Visual Signal.
- These appliances are UL Listed as “Regulated”. They are intended to be used with FACPs whose notification circuits are UL Listed as “Regulated.” Refer to the FACP instructions or the Wheelock Strobe Compatibility Data Sheet (P85328) for special application and strobe synchronization compatibility.
- The effect of shipping and storage temperatures shall not adversely affect the performance of the appliance when it is stored in the original cartons and not subjected to misuse or abuse.
When calculating the total currents: Use Table 2, 3 to determine the highest value of “RMS Current” for an individual appliance, then multiply these values by the total number of appliances; be sure to add the currents for any other appliances powered by the same source and include any required safety factors. Make sure that the total RMS current required required by all appliances that are connected to the system’s PRIMARY and SECONDARY power sources, NAC circuits, DSM Sync Modules or Wheelock Power Supplies does not exceed the power sources’ rated capacity or the current ratings of any fuses on the circuits to which these appliances are wired. Check the minimum and maximum output of the power supply and standby battery, and subtract the voltage drop from the circuit wiring resistance to determine the applied voltage to the appliance.
CAUTION: If Eluxa Multi-Tone appliances are operated within 15 inches of a person’s ear, they can produce a sound pressure level that exceeds the maximum 120 dBA permitted by ADA and OSHA rules. Exposure to such sound levels can result in damage to a person’s hearing.
