WIRING, SETTINGS AND MOUNTING: 

 

• All Eluxa horn/strobe appliances have terminals that accept #12 to #18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at each screw terminal.  

Strip leads 3/8 inches and connect to screw terminals.  Do not fully back out terminal screws.
• Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuits to ensure integrity of circuit supervision as shown in Figure 3. The polarity shown in 

Figure 2, the wiring diagram, is for the operation of the appliances.  The polarity is reversed by the FACP during supervision.
• T3/T4 Sync Selectable operation requires a DSM-12/24.  Refer to DSM (P83177) instructions.  All appliances must be set to T3/T4.  

Code 4 (T4) operation occurs when both Strobe NAC and Audible NAC remain active.  Code 3 (T3) operation occurs when Strobe 

NAC is active, and Audible NAC is not acttive.  (Audible Silence function is available only when using Continuos or T3 setting).  The 

FACP’s Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC) to DSM must be continuous DC in Alarm.  Inputs to DSM may not be synchronized.

Figure  7: Surface Back Box

When using the ELFHSC and ELFHNC 520 Hz Low Frequency Sounder Strobes in the T3/4 mode, connect a standard NAC circuit 

to the (+) and (-) Audible Inputs on the DSM. In the T3/4 mode, the DSM utilizes NAC 1 and/or NAC 2 in conjunction with the Audible 

Input NAC signal to actively toggle between T3/fire and T4/CO.  Refer to the Wheelock, Installation Instructions (P83177), Series DSM 

Synchronization (Sync) Module for additional information and wiring diagrams when connecting to a DSM.

The following 

NOTES 1-3 

provide information with respect to Figure 6: 

1

:  Code 3/Code 4 (T3/T4) operation requires the use of the Wheelock DSM (P83177) sync module

2:

  Both NAC 1 and NAC 2 must remain active for T4 Operation.

3:

  All appliances must be set to T3/4 mode. 

WARNING: WHEN USING THE T3/4 OPERATING CODE ON SOUNDER AND SOUNDER STROBES, THE DSM WILL PRO-

VIDE SYNCHRONIZATION; THEREFORE, THE FACP’s NOTIFICATION APPLIANCE CIRCUITS CANNOT USE WHEELOCK

 

PROTOCOL

.

NOTE: 

Audio silence function is available when using the Continuous or Code 3 (T3) setting.

CAUTION: Check that the installed product will have sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes 

and conduit, especially if sheathed multiconductor cable or 3/4-inch conduit fittings are used.
Wiring method shall be in accordance with: 

 

1) In the United States, the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72.
2) In Canada, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, Section 32. 

MOUNTING PROCEEDURE:

 

1.  Select a mounting option and install the backbox

.  LSPKBB-C requires 6 1/4” spacing for surface mounting.  Screws are pro

-

vided.  Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product.  Do 

not pass additional wires (used for other than the signaling appliance) through the backbox. Such additional wires could result in 

insufficient wiring space for the signaling appliance.

2.  Install the Mounting Plate on the backbox

.  Use 8-32 screws for 4” back-box or hi-lo screws for the LSPKBB-C.

3.  Pre-Wire:

 Connect field wires to terminals on mounting plate

 (reference Figure 2 and 3).  Use care and proper techniques to 

position the field wires in the backbox so that they use minimum space and produce minimum stress on the product. This is 

especially important for stiff, heavy gauge wires and wires with thick insulation or sheathing.  When terminating field wires, do 

not use more lead length than required. Excess lead length could result in insufficient wiring space for the signaling appliance.

4. 

Pre-Test:

 Mounting Plate contains a SHUNT

 between adjacent “+” terminals to facilittate testing before device is attached.         

Note: Shunt will open permanently when device is installed on mounting plate.

5.  Verify appliance settings are correct for your application.  Selector switch is shown in Figure 4. Strobe settings are 110cd, 177cd. 

Sound Settings are CONT, T3, T3/4 (Continuous, Code 3, Code 3/Code 4 respectively).  Use Code 3 for fire emergency only, 

and Code 4 for carbon monoxide emergency only.  Factory settings are High dB, Code 3 (T3), and 177cd. 

6.  Place the ELUXA appliance over the mounting plate.  Engage HOOK on mounting plate, then secure with screw on oposite side.  

Use care to prevent speaker cone damage when driving the screw.

7.  Align cover to the ELUXA appliance with Candela Window over Candela Selector.  Then, snap the cover in place.
8.  To remove

 the appliance, insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the bottom opening ½” as shown in Figure 5. Then pry off 

beauty cover with the screwdriver.

9.  Accessories for ELUXA surface back box (Ceiling): LSPKBB-CR (Red);  LSPKBB-CW (White).

NOTE:

 Final acceptance is subject to Authorities Having Jurisdiction.

CAUTION:

 

Do not over tighten mounting screws. Excessive torque can distort the base and may affect operation.

  

When 

using power tools to screw down the mounting plate to the electrical backbox, ensure the torque is set to the lowest setting 

available.

CAUTION:

 

Check the installation instructions of the manufacturers of other equipment used in the system for any 

guidelines or restrictions on wiring and/or locating Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC) and notification appliances. Some 

system communication circuits and/or audio circuits, for example, may require special precautions to assure immunity from 

electrical noise (e.g., audio crosstalk).
