The Eaton Wheelock E50-24MCW-ALR is a wall-mount fire alarm speaker strobe. First, it combines a high-fidelity speaker with a xenon strobe in one housing. Then it provides simultaneous voice/tone evacuation audio and synchronized visual notification.
Importantly, this is a speaker-strobe, not a strobe-only appliance. Specifically, the part number suffix encodes a 24 VDC strobe, Multi-Candela settings, Wall mount, ALERT lettering, clear Lens, and Red housing.
Part number decoded
- E50 = wall-mount E50/E60-series speaker strobe (E50 wall, E60 ceiling).
- 24 = 24 VDC strobe input.
- MC = Multi-Candela field-selectable strobe.
- W = Wall mount form factor (not a color designator).
- A = ALERT lettering (vs F = FIRE).
- L = Clear lens.
- R = Red housing (vs W = White housing).
Strobe specs (verified)
- Input voltage: 24 VDC nominal.
- Candela settings (field-selectable): 15, 30, 75, 110 cd.
- Listed to UL 1971 for signaling devices for the hearing impaired.
- Synchronization compatible with the Wheelock DSM, SM, PS-12/24-8MP and PS-12/24-8CP, plus SAFEPATH.
Speaker specs (verified)
- Voltage: 25 or 70 VRMS field-selectable.
- Wattage taps: 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 2 watts.
- Listed to UL 1480 for fire-protective signaling speakers.
Important compliance notes
Speaker appliances fall under UL 1480, not UL 464. Therefore, any older copy referencing UL 464 on this speaker strobe is incorrect. UL 464 covers horns, bells, and chimes; UL 1480 covers fire-protective signaling speakers.
Mounting and application
- Mounting: wall-mount, indoor use only.
- Marking: ALERT (general mass notification and tone signaling), not FIRE.
- Color: Red.
- Lens: Clear.
Refer to the install sheet for exact RMS current draw per candela setting and wattage tap. Specifically, the table in Eaton P84579 lists every combination.
