Eaton Eluxa Horns, Horn Strobes, & Strobes

Product Overview

The Wheelock Eluxa horns, horn strobes, and strobes by Eaton feature advanced power-saving LED technology with a range of low and high candela settings for indoor wall and ceiling-mount applications. Their sleek, modern enclosures and aesthetically pleasing low profile blend with building interior décor.

High Efficiency, LED Technology

Eaton's high-efficiency LED technology offers the industry's lowest current draw for a combined high and low candela device, reducing overall power consumption. As the first notification appliances to utilize LED as the light source, this design results in best-in-class efficiency, enabling material and system cost savings. This allows for a greater number of appliances on the notification appliance circuit and fewer power supplies, reducing installation and operating costs. All clear and amber strobe models feature six candela settings: 15, 30, 75, 110, 135, 185 cd for wall models and 15, 30, 75, 110, 150, 177 cd for ceiling models.

Low Profile Design and Rich Feature Set

With the industry's smallest footprint, the Eluxa horns, horn strobes, and strobes are aesthetically pleasing. The low-profile design does not detract from interior décor. Eluxa is feature-rich with 6 candela settings and 3 horn patterns (Continuous, T3, T3/T4) in one device. They feature a pre-wire/pre-test mounting plate with a hinged feature for ease of installation, a single-gang design for wall models, and no tools are needed for setting changes. The ELST strobe, ELHS horn strobe, and ELHN horn are for 24V operation, while the ELHN is suitable for 12V applications.

Approvals and Synchronization

Eaton's Eluxa strobes meet the 20-millisecond light pulse duration requirements of the 2016 edition of NFPA 72. This allows xenon and LED devices to be in the same field of view. The Eluxa notification appliances are listed under UL Standards 1971, 1638, and 464, and under CAN/ULC-S525 and CAN/ULC-S526. They are Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant and contain no mercury or other hazardous substances. The Eluxa product line is UL/ULC listed as compatible with Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP) and accessories determined to be compatible with Exceder LED3 and Wheelock RSS strobe-based products. This listing includes the ability to install Eluxa strobes in the same notification zone and field of view with any Wheelock RSS and Exceder LED3 strobe models.

Features

• Energy efficient: LED technology provides industry's lowest current draw, requiring fewer power supplies, smaller wire gage, and reduced wire runs.
• Low-profile design: One of the smallest, most compact single-gang designs with sleek, modern aesthetics and no visible mounting screws. Special lettering is available.
• 6 Field selectable settings in 1 device: Wall models offer 15, 30, 75, 110, 135, 185 cd. Ceiling models offer 15, 30, 75, 110, 150, 177 cd.
• 3 horn patterns: Continuous, T3, and T3/T4 for Fire and CO signaling.
• Sound pressure (Anechoic) dBA: Low 78, High 91 (for Continuous, T3, and T4).
• Easy-to-install: Includes a mounting plate with a capture hinge for easy installation. Pre-wire/pre-test capability for wiring and ground faults. Finger slide switches for setting changes. IN/OUT screw terminals accept #12 to #18 AWG wires. Mounting options include single-gang backboxes, 4" square backboxes with adapter kits, and various deep backboxes for wall and ceiling models.
• Strobe synchronization: Compatible with Wheelock's DSM Sync Modules, PS Power Supplies, or SAFEPATH products. Allows mixing of xenon and LED strobes in the same field of view.
• Compliance: Meets NFPA 72 2016 (20 ms flash duration), UL 1971, UL 1638, UL 464, ULC-S525, ULC-S526, California State Fire Marshal (CSFM), RoHS, and FCC Part 15, ICES.

General Notes

• Strobes are designed to flash at 1 flash per second minimum over their regulated voltage range. NFPA-72 specifies 1 to 2 flashes per second, and ADA Guidelines specify 1 to 3 flashes per second.
• All candela ratings represent minimum effective strobe intensity based on UL 1971.

Architects and Engineers Specifications

The LED notification appliances shall be Wheelock® ELHS audible-visual strobe appliances, ELST visual strobe appliances, and ELHN audible appliances for wall and ceiling-mount applications with a low-profile design or approved equals. Special lettering, including AGENT, ALERT, EVACUATE, and no lettering, shall be available.

The ELHS and ELST strobes shall be listed for UL Standard 1971 (Emergency Devices for the Hearing-Impaired) for Indoor Fire Protection Service and UL 1638 (Visible Signaling Devices). The ELHS and ELHN Audibles shall be UL Listed under Standard 464 (Fire Protective Signaling). All models shall meet the requirements of FCC Part 15 and ICES-003. All inputs shall be compatible with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with the ability to operate from 16 to 33 VDC/VFWR.

The ELHS audible strobe and ELST strobe appliances shall produce a flash rate of one (1) flash per second minimum over the Regulated Voltage Range and shall incorporate a Light Emitting Diode (LED) as the light source with a rugged Lexan® lens. The appliances shall be of low current design. The LED strobe flash duration shall be 20 ms. Where Multi-Candela appliances are specified, the strobe intensity shall have 6 field selectable settings at 15, 30, 75, 110, 135 and 185 candela for wall mount applications and 15, 30, 75, 110, 150 and 177 for ceiling applications. The selector switch for selecting the candela shall be tamper resistant. Appliances with candela settings shall show the candela selection in a visible location at all times when installed.

The audible shall have a choice of three (3) horn patterns (high & low output): Continuous, T3, and T3/T4 for fire (T3) and CO (T4) signaling.

The ELHS audible strobe, ELST strobe, and ELHN audible shall include a hinged mounting plate. Mounting options shall include LED backboxes, single-gang backbox and to 4" square with adapter kit for wall-mount models and LED Ceiling backboxes, 4" square, 1 1/2" or 2 1/8" deep and 4" Octagonal, 1 1/2" or 2 1/8" deep for ceiling models. Two wire appliance wiring shall be capable of directly connecting to the mounting base. Removal of an appliance shall result in a supervision fault condition by the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). All notification appliances shall be backwards compatible.

The ELHS, ELHN and ELST wall models shall have a low profile measuring 4.79"H x 2.76"W x 1.18"D. The ELHSC, ELHNC and ELSTC ceiling models shall have a low profile measuring 6.27" Diameter with 1.69"D.

When synchronization is required, the appliance shall be compatible with Wheelock®'s DSM Sync Modules, PS Power Supplies, SAFEPATH products or other manufacturer's panels with built-in Wheelock® Patented Sync Protocol. The strobes shall not drift out of synchronization at any time during operation. If the sync protocol fails to operate, the strobe shall revert to a non-synchronized flash-rate and still maintain (1) flash per second over its Regulated Voltage Range. The appliance shall also be designed so that the audible signal may be silenced while maintaining strobe activation when used with Wheelock® patented sync protocol.

Compliance: NFPA 72 2016, UL 1971, UL, 1638, UL 464 ULC-S525-16, ULC-S526-16, CSFM, FCC, RoHS, ICES.
