Architect and Engineer Specifications
The speaker appliances shall be Cooper-Wheelock Series
E50 Speakers and the speaker strobe appliances shall be
Cooper-Wheelock Series E50 Speaker Strobes or
approved equals. The speakers shall be UL Listed under
Standard 1480 for Fire Protective Service and speakers
equipped with strobes shall be listed under UL Standard
1971 for Emergency Devices for the Hearing-Impaired. In
addition, the strobes shall be certified to meet the require-
ments of FCC Part 15, Class B.
All speakers shall be designed for a field selectable input of
either 25 or 70 VRMS, with selectable power taps from 1/8
watt to 2 watts. All models shall have listed sound output of
up to 89 dBA at 10 feet and a listed frequency response of
400 to 4000 Hz. The speaker shall incorporate a sealed
back construction. All inputs shall employ terminals that
accept 12 to 18 AWG wire sizes. The strobe portion of the
appliance shall produce a flash rate of one (1) flash per
second over the regulated voltage range and shall be of
low current design. Where Multi Candela Speaker Strobes
are specified, the strobe intensity shall have field select-
able settings and shall be rated per UL Standard 1971 at
15/30/75/110cd or 135/185cd for wall mounting. The selec-
tor switch for selecting the candela shall be tamper resis-
tant. The 15/75 candela strobe shall be specified when 15
candela UL Standard 1971 Listing with 75 candela -on-axis
is required.
When synchronization is required, the strobe portion of the
appliance shall be compatible with the Cooper-Wheelock’s
SM-12/24-R and/or DSM-12/24-R modules. The strobes
shall not drift out of synchronization at any time during
operation. If the sync modules or power supply fails to
operate, (i.e., contacts remain closed), the strobe shall
revert to a non-synchronized flash rate.
The speaker and speaker strobe appliances shall be
designed for indoor flush mounting to 4” x 2-1/8”
(10.2 x
5.5.cm)
electrical boxes without need for an extension ring
or surface mounting to Cooper-Wheelock’s E50SB or
E50SSB surface boxes. The speaker and speaker strobe
shall incorporate a speaker mounting plate with a snap-on
grille cover. The finish of the Series E50 speakers and
speakers strobes shall be white or red.
General Notes:
• Strobes are designed to flash at 1 flash per second min-
imum over their “Regulated Voltage Range”.
Note that NFPA-72 specifies a flash rate of 1 to 2
flashes per second and ADA Guidelines specify a flash
rate of 1 to 3 flashes per second.
• All candela ratings represent minimum effective Strobe
intensity based on UL Standard 1971.
• Series NS Strobe products are listed under UL Standard
1971 for indoor use with a temperature range of 32°F to
120°F (0°C to 49°C) and max. humidity of 93% (± 2%).
• “Regulated Voltage Range” is the newest terminology
used by UL to identify the voltage range. Prior to this
change, UL used the terminology “Listed Voltage
Range”.

* RMS current ratings are per UL average RMS method.
UL max current rating is the maximum RMS current within
the listed voltage range (16-33v for 24v units). For strobes
the UL max current is usually at the minimum listed voltage
(16v for 24v units). For unfiltered FWR ratings, see installa-
tion instructions.
