Eluxa EL3RMT/EL4XMT Multi-Tone Horn and EL4XMTST/EL3RMTST Multi-Tone Horn Strobe (and Amber) are UL Certified for fire protection service under Standard UL1971 for Signaling Devices for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, UL1638 for Visual Signaling Devices and Standard UL464 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.
Amber lens is certified for Emergency Warning and meets the light output requirements of UL1971.
Key Features
Rugged
The cutting-edge solution delivers optimal performance thanks to its NEMA type 3R and 4X ratings, which make it resistant to corrosion and ice formation (4X only). The IP54 and IP66 ratings provide superior protection against dust and water, making it ideal for areas of high humidity, extreme heat, or severe cold.
Energy Efficient
With six candela settings in a single device, Eluxa features one of the industry's lowest current draws across the full candela range. The Eluxa outdoor product line reduces overall power consumption, allowing for more appliances on each circuit (NAC) and fewer power supplies.

Complete and Compliant
The Wheelock Eluxa 3R/4X series meets NFPA 2016 20 millisecond light pulse duration code requirements. In addition, the Wheelock Eluxa and LED3 product lines have been UL/ULC certified 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, CH, E, EH, ET, ST, HS, MT, S8, SA, STH and Z Series. 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 DualSync Module (DSM) or a Wheelock Power Supply.
