Architects and Engineers Specifications
S1610 E70/E90 03/07
The speaker appliances shall be Wheelock Series E Speakers and the speaker strobe appliances shall be Wheelock Series E Speaker
Strobes or approved equals. The speakers shall be UL Listed under Standard 1480 for Fire Protective Service and speakers equipped
with strobes shall be listed under UL Standard 1971 for Emergency Devices for the Hearing-Impaired. In addition, the strobes shall be
certified to meet the requirements of FCC Part 15, Class B.
All speakers shall be designed for a field selectable input of either 25 or 70 VRMS, with selectable power taps from 1/8 watt to 2 watts.
All models shall have listed sound output of up to 87 dB at 10 feet and a listed frequency response of 400 to 4000 Hz. The speaker
shall also incorporate a sealed back construction. All inputs shall employ terminals that accept #12 to #18 AWG wire sizes. The strobe
portion of the appliance shall produce a flash rate of one (1) flash per second over the Regulated Voltage Range and shall incorporate
a Xenon flashtube enclosed in a rugged Lexan® lens. The strobe shall be of low current design. Where Multi-Candela Speaker Strobes
are specified, the strobe intensity shall have field selectable settings and shall be rated per UL Standard 1971 at 15/30/75/110cd or
135/185cd for wall mount and 15/30/75/95cd or 115/177cd for ceiling mount. The selector switch for selecting the candela shall be
tamper resistant. The 1575 candela strobe shall be specified when 15 candela UL Standard 1971 Listing with 75 candela on-axis is

When synchronization is required, the strobe portion of the appliance shall be compatible with Wheelock SM, DSM sync modules or
Wheelock PS-24-8MC power supply with built-in Patented Sync Protocol. The strobes shall not drift out of synchronization at any time
during operation. If the sync module or Power Supply fails to operate, (i.e., contacts remain closed), the strobe shall revert to a non-
synchronized flash rate.
The speaker and speaker strobe appliances shall be designed for indoor surface or flush mounting. The speaker and speaker strobe
shall incorporate a speaker mounting plate with a grille cover which is secured with two screws for a level, aesthetic finish and shall
