GENERAL:
Wheelock's Series ET80 Low Profile Vandal Resistant Speaker and Speaker Strobes are UL Listed under Standard 1971 for
(Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired) for indoor fire protection service. The ET80-24MCW is designed for multiple power
requirements with high dBA output at each power tap and offer a choice of field selectable taps, 1/8W to 8W for either 25.0VRMS or
70.0VRMS audio systems. The Low Profile design incorporates a high efficiency 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.
The ET80-24MCW Multi-Candela provides four selectable light output intensities in one unit and incorporates a Speaker Mounting
Plate attached to the speaker for ease of installation. The Low Profile Speaker 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 a Sync Module (SM), Dual Sync Module (DSM) or Wheelock's Power Supplies. The Strobe uses a Xenon
flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a rugged Lexan lens to provide maximum visibility and reliability for effective visible
signaling. The ET80-24MCW is Listed for indoor use, wall mount only with the backboxes specified in these instructions (see
Mounting Options).
