Eaton’s Cooper Notification Business Wins
2013 ESX Maximum Impact Award
Wheelock’s Exceder LED Speaker Line Earns Top Honor in Best Alarm Equipment at 2013 ESX Expo
LONG BRANCH, N.J., August 21, 2013 – Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton today announced
that its Cooper Notification business’ Exceder LED Speaker Strobes and Speakers have been honored
with the Maximum Impact Award in the Best Alarm Equipment: Annunciators, Bells, Sirens, Strobes
category at this year’s Electronic Security Expo (ESX) in Nashville, Tenn. The first in the industry to
utilize light-emitting diodes (LED) as the light source, the Wheelock Exceder LED speaker line produces
high fidelity sound output in a low-profile design for indoor wall-mount applications where intelligible voice
is required.
“We are honored to receive one of this year’s Maximum Impact Awards from ESX,” said Ted Milburn,
vice president, Marketing, Cooper Notification business. “It reinforces our commitment to deliver
innovative solutions and validates our position as an industry leader. With our LED high fidelity speaker
line, customers can feel confident that we are not only providing best-in-class efficiency, but also leading
intelligibility.”
With the widest frequency response range in the industry, spanning 300 to 8,000 hertz, the Exceder LED
Speakers and Speaker Strobes deliver crisp, clear voice messages and tone signaling ideal for
emergency communications, mass notification and voice evacuation. The wider frequency response
range allows the speaker to reproduce frequencies closer to the original sound, improving the clarity and
comprehension of the intended message.
Beyond frequency range, Cooper Notification business’ patented LED technology also provides the
industry’s lowest current draw allowing for energy savings of up to 52 percent compared to competitive
models. Using LED as the strobe light source, the product incorporates high-efficiency optics to minimize
current draw. This allows for a greater number of appliances on the notification appliance circuit and
requires fewer power supplies.
