273 Branchport Avenue Branch NJ 07740 631 2148 Thank you for using our products INSTRUCTIONS E50 MULTI CANDELA SPEAKER STROBES this product according to this instruction manual Please keep this instruction manual for future reference E50 Multi Candela Speaker Strobes are UL Listed under Standard 1971 for Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired and UL Standard 1480 for Speaker The E50 Multi Candela Speaker Strobes with amber blue green or red lens are UL Listed under Standard 1638 Visual Signaling Appliance for Private Emergency and General Utility Signaling They are designed for multiple power requirements with high dBA output at each power tap All models offer a 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 minimum power across a frequency range of 400Hz to 4000Hz and features a sealed back construction for extra protection and improved audibility The Speaker can provide non synchronized strobe operation when connected directly to a Fire Alarm Control Panel FACP or provide synchronized strobe operation when in conjunction with a Sync Module SM Dual Sync Module DSM or Wheelock Power Supplies PS 12 24 8MP and PS 12 24 8CP All models are UL for indoor use only with the backboxes specified in these instructions see Mounting Options All CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are identified by the symbol All warnings are printed in bold capital letters The speaker strobe appliance is a fire alarm device Do not paint PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER APPLICATION INSTALLATION AND OR OPERATION OF PRODUCTS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO AND OR OTHERS 1 UL Listed Models and Ratings at 10 Feet Rated Watts denotes color of lens A amber B blue G green R red will produce 1 flash per second over the Voltage range All models are UL Listed for indoor use with a temperature range of 32 to 120 0 to 49 and maximum humidity of 85 RH is rated per UL Standard 1480 for Speaker Appliances Frequency range of speakers is 400 4000Hz UL applications these appliances were tested to the operating voltage limits of 16 33 volts using Filtered DC or unfiltered Full Wave Rectified FWR not apply 80 and 110 of these voltage values for system operation Check the minimum and maximum output of the power supply and standby battery and subtract the voltage drop from the circuit wiring resistance to the applied voltage to the strobes with clear and amber lens meet the required light distribution patterns defined in UL1971 Candela ratings are for clear lens Derate approximately 25 for amber lens 55 for green 70 for blue and 80 for red 2 UL Current Rating for Strobe Only RMS Current AMPS 16 33VRMS Candela setting will determine the current draw of the product The maximum wire impendence between strobes shall not exceed 35 OHMS The maximum number of strobes on a single notification appliance circuit shall exceed 47 Speaker Strobes are not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off 2007 Cooper Wheelock All rights reserved 1 of 5 Make sure that the total RMS current required by all appliances that are connected to the system primary and secondary power sources NAC Circuits SM SYNC Modules or Wheelock Power Supplies do not exceed the power sources rated capacity or the current ratings of any fuses on the circuits to which these are wired OVERLOADING POWER SOURCES OR EXCEEDING FUSE RATINGS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER AND FAILURE TO OCCUPANTS DURING AN EMERGENCY calculating the total currents use Table 2 to determine the highest value of Current for an individual strobe across the expected operating voltage range the strobe then multiply these values by the total number of strobes be sure to add the currents for any other appliances including audible signaling appliances by the same source and include any required safety factors the peak current exceeds the power supplies peak capacity the output voltage provided by the power supplies may drop below the listed voltage range of the connected to the supply and the voltage may not recover in some types of power supplies For example an auxiliary power supply that lacks filtering at its stage either via lack of capacitance and or lack of battery backup across the output may exhibit this characteristic INFORMATION 1.5 blocking capacitor for DC supervision of audio lines by the FACP is factory wired in series with the speaker input Supervision voltage must not exceed 33 DC 1 Figure 2 PRECEDING SPEAKER FIRE ALARM PANEL FACP PRECEDING STROBE OR SYNC MODULE TO NEXT SPEAKER OR END OR LINE RESISTOR EOLR TO NEXT APPLIANCE OR EOLR E50 Speaker Strobe models have in out wiring terminals accept two 12 to 18 American Wire Gauge AWG at each screw terminal Strip leads 3 8 inches and to screw terminals Break all in out wire runs on supervised circuits to assure of circuit supervision as shown in Figure 2 The shown in the wiring diagrams is for operation of appliances Refer to Sync Module instruction sheets SM P83123 DSM P83177 or Wheelock Supplies for additional information STROBE COM Connect ground wire to backbox Install signaling appliance to backbox using mounting screws provided Check electrical ratings specified in tables 1 and 2 as appropriate to ensure proper electrical input Be sure that speaker wiring is connected to speaker only and strobe wiring is connected to strobe terminals only Check to insure that wiring at FACP is correct IMPROPER ELECTRICAL INPUT CAN DAMAGE THE PRODUCT OR CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION 3 Jumper plug is used to select dBA loudness 4 Tap Settings Factory setting is 70V 1 2W F B C D E F G H A B C D E F G H Use needle nose pliers to pull and properly insert the jumper plug to the desired tap setting speaker wires to common and positive of terminal block and select the power tap terminal for 1 8W 1 4W 1 2W 1W or 2W 25V or 70V as required see 1 2 3 4 and Table 4 Each doubling of rated Watts increases sound output by 3 dBA letter corresponds to a plug position of the header located on the printed circuit board Select voltage and wattage as shown in Table 4 below 4 Speaker Voltage and Wattage Connection Chart The speaker strobe appliances must be set to the desired dBA sound output level before they are installed This is done by properly inserting jumper plugs in with these instructions 2 of 5 INCORRECT SETTINGS WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER PERFORMANCE Always operate audio amplifiers and speakers within their specified ratings Excessive input may distort sound quality and may damage audio Improper input voltage can damage speaker If distortion is heard check for clipping of the audio appliance with an oscilloscope and reduce the amplifier level or gain level to eliminate any clipping 5 0 CANDELA POINTER CANDELA POINTER
