Updates to Wheelock Eluxa series

Fire Alarms

Wheelock recently updated the datasheets for most Eluxa devices. Here are some of the changes:

  • The strobes have been modified to have a slightly lower current draw. This change appears to have been made to every indoor strobe except the low frequency sounder strobes (which use a strobe that can only be set to 110 or 177 candela).
  • Amber lens indoor horn strobes have been released.
  • Red, green, and blue lens strobes and horn strobes have been released. These were previously only available on multitone horn strobes and outdoor strobes.
  • Blue-lens speaker strobes have been released.
  • Indoor speakers have been updated to go up to 8 watts with a 70 V input, similar to the outdoor speakers. This also means the 2-watt tap is now the same for both 25 V and 70 V, unlike the original Eluxa speaker with a 5-watt tap needed to achieve this level of output at 70 V.

There is now an Eluxa version of the SA-S self-amplified speaker. It looks like it will be using a similar naming scheme to the outdoor products and previous SA-S devices, and these will have a frequency response of 400-4000 Hz (not 300-8000 Hz like the other Eluxa speakers).

Based on this manual, it appears that the speaker terminals will be located on the device itself while the strobe terminals will be on the mounting plate, similar to the ELAMT.

Wheelock has now introduced new Eluxa trim plates. The ELTP-SG will presumably replace the ESB-KIT, but I’m not sure of the purpose of the other two trim plates (perhaps to replace old 7001T installations?). I also don’t know if that means this will be discontinued.

I haven’t found any evidence of an RSSP replacement. I was expecting one of the trim plates to be a dual strobe expander plate, but that does not appear to be the case.
