DUBLIN, Ire. — Eaton (NYSE: ETN) is introducing Eluxa, the next generation of Wheelock LED notification devices for fire alarm signaling and mass notification.
Designed for use in commercial buildings, Eaton’s latest technology is billed as providing the industry’s lowest current draw over the full candela range, thereby reducing installation costs, materials and overall fire alarm system costs.
With Eluxa, Eaton provides both low and high candela settings in one device, reducing inventory and streamlining installation, according to a press release.
The Eluxa technology is said to provide customers a complete indoor solution that includes strobes, horn strobes, horns, speakers, speaker strobes, low-frequency sounders and sounder strobes for both ceiling and wall-mount applications.
In addition to six candela settings, the appliances feature three horn patterns (continuous, T3, T3/T4) in a single device, reducing customers’ inventory and providing industry-first fire alarm and carbon monoxide (CO) notification over the same two wires, the press release states.
The Wheelock Eluxa product line is UL/ULC listed as compatible with all fire alarm control panels (FACPs) and accessories that are compatible with Wheelock RSS strobe-based products. The listing also includes the ability to install the Eluxa strobes in the same notification zone and field of view with any Wheelock Exceder LED3 or Wheelock RSS strobe models.
Eaton provides integrated, advanced technology and code-compliant solutions for life-safety and mass notification, providing critical emergency communications for higher education, industrial, commercial, government and military markets.
