Applications
Atlas Sound’s UL Listed AP Series loudspeakers are surface-mount,
high-efficiency units for life safety, and communication system
applications. When used with compatible control equipment, they
provide high-intelligibility voice reproduction and signal transmission for
indoor or outdoor emergency alarm, protective signaling, and intercom
system installations.
General Description
The Atlas Sound AP-15TU-USA loudspeaker is equipped with a
compression driver providing up to 15 Watts RMS power handling
capability, superior intelligibility and dispersion to achieve maximum sound
projection and penetration. Weather-resistant metal construction and
re-entrant acoustic path assure protection against water, humidity, vermin,
and corrosion. The Omni-Purpose® mounting bracket allows directional
sound dispersion via vertical and horizontal positioning. Provisions are also
included for surface or strap mounting to pillars and I-beams.
The AP-15TU-USA includes a built-in 25/70.7V Vari-Tap® transformer
featuring a screw-driver adjustable, 7-position watt/impedance selection
switch. Wiring terminals are protected with a vandal-resistant adapter
cover for control equipment utilizing cable or conduit.
This unit meets or exceeds the UL Listed standards for audible signal
appliances and is capable of operating within an ambient temp. range
of 70˚C (158˚F) to -40˚C (-40˚F). Additionally the AP-15TU-USA complies
with UL Standard 1480 - Speakers for Fire Protective Signaling Systems
and California State Fire Marshal (Title 19). The AP-15TU-USA also meets
