GENERAL:

Wheelock's Series E60 Round Speakers and Speaker Strobes are UL Listed under Standard 1971 for Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired and UL Standard 1480
for Speaker Appliances. They are designed for multiple power requirements with high dBA output at each power tap. All models offer a choice of field selectable taps,
1/8W to 2W, for either 25.0VRMS or 70.0VRMS audio systems. The 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 Series E60 appliances also incorporate a
speaker mounting plate attached to the speaker for ease of installation. The Speaker Strobes 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 power supplies. The strobes use a xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a polycarbonate lens to provide maximum visibility and reliability for
effective visible signaling. The E60-24MCW and E60-24MCWH Speaker Strobes are for wall mounting only. The E60-24MCC and E60-24MCCH Speaker Strobes are
for ceiling mounting only. All models are Listed for indoor use only with the back boxes specified in these instructions (see Wiring and Mounting Information).
WARNING: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

NOTES:
1. Strobes will produce 1 flash per second over the "Regulated Voltage" range.
2. These strobes meet the required light distribution patterns defined in UL 1971.
3. All models are UL Listed for indoor use with a temperature range of +32ºF to +120ºF (0ºC to +4ºC) and maximum humidity of 85% RH. 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 is not subjected to
misuse or abuse.
4. The maximum supervision voltage is 33 volts DC.
5. Frequency range of speakers is 400-4000Hz.
CAUTION: Always operate audio amplifiers and speakers within their specified ratings. Excessive input may distort sound quality and may damage audio
equipment. Do not exceed 100% of speaker input voltage per UL 1480. Improper input voltage can damage speaker. If distortion is heard, check for clipping of the
audio appliance with an oscilloscope and reduce the amplifier input level or gain level to eliminate any clipping.
WARNING: CANDELA SETTING WILL DETERMINE THE CURRENT DRAW OF THE PRODUCT.
