Cooper Wheelock
Wheelock is a fire alarm and general signaling products manufacturer owned by Eaton Corporation. History Some of the earliest signals produced by Wheelock were the A-1 series of AC-powered, dual-projector electromechanical horns. In the early 1970s, Wheelock introduced the 31 (AC-powered) and 34 (DC-powered) series of electromechanical horns. Around 1976, Wheelock created the 7001 (2-wire, flush-mount DC), 7002 (2-wire, surface-mount DC), 34+WS (4-wire, surface-mount DC), and 7004 (2-wire, surface-mount AC) electromechanical horn/strobes. These were the first fire alarm signals to use xenon strobes instead of incandescent lights. The signals either had pigtail leads or screw terminals for power. Models with screw terminals had the letter "T" in their model numbers (e.g. 34T, 7002T). The horn and strobe on the 7001 and 7002 models are wired in series, causing the horn to produce a distinctive "skipping" sound when the strobe flashes, similar to the "March Time" code. In late 198 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
