The Wheelock Eluxa electronic chimes (ELCH) and chime strobes (ELCHS) by Eaton feature field selectable 1 Hz, 2 Hz, Coded, and Temporal 3 (T3) modes of operation. The chime strobe models include an advanced power saving LED technology with a full range of candela settings for indoor wall and ceiling-mount applications. Ideal for hospital and institutional applications, Eluxa is designed with a sleek, aesthetically pleasing low profile that blends with the building’s interior décor.

High efficiency, LED technology

Eaton’s high energy efficient technology leads the industry in lowest current draw across the full candela range, which reduces overall power consumption and costs in fire alarm systems. As the first notification appliances in the industry to utilize LED as the light source, this breakthrough and patented optical design, resulting in best-in-class efficiency, enables material and system cost savings, allowing for a greater number of appliances on the notification appliance circuit and fewer power supplies. All strobe models feature six candela settings: 15, 30, 75, 110, 135, 185 cd on wall models and 15, 30, 75, 110, 150, 177 cd on ceiling models.

Eaton’s unique 2-wire circuit has the ability to silence the audible while leaving the strobe active via Wheelock sync protocol. Alternatively, the device can use 4-wires providing independent control of the strobe and audible.
