offers high intensity strobe candelas of 15, 30, 60, 75 and 110 which comply with UL 1971 and a

high intensity strobe candela of 15/75 which complies with UL 1638. The frequency range of the

speakers is 400-4000Hz. All devices are suitable for line supervision. Speaker includes DC

blocking capacitor which allows for supervision voltage of either polarity.

III.

LOCATION

This appliance is intended for use in Fire Alarm Systems and is to be installed in accordance with

this installation manual, the recommendation of the local authorities having jurisdiction, and other

NFPA Standards that provide standards on notification appliances for protective signaling systems.

The Gentex SSPK24WLP Series speaker/strobe is intended for indoor installations only. These

appliances are not approved for outdoor applications.

WARNING!

Visual signal must be in the direct viewing area of the occupant in order to be seen.

WARNING!

visual signal.

NOTICE: Visual signals for the hearing impaired are only one method of alerting the hearing

impaired. Visual signals may not be the preferred method for notifying all hearing

impaired individuals.

WARNING! Visual signal must be installed within 16 feet of the pillow when used in a sleeping area.

WARNING! Visual signal must be in the direct viewing area of the occupant in order to be seen.

WARNING! Visual signal can not be seen when objects such as doors, furniture or walls block visual signal.

NOTICE: Visual signals for the hearing impaired are only one method of alerting the hearing impaired. Visual signals may not be the preferred method for notifying all hearing impaired individuals.

NOTICE: The visual signal must be seen by the sleeping person. If the person has head turned or otherwise unable to be alerted by visual, the visual signal will not be effective.

Visual Signal should NEVER be relied upon as the primary fire alert for the h ed under these common sense conditions:

a. Sleeping face down on the bedding or pillow b. Use of sleep medications of any kind

c. Use of alcoholic beverages or recreational drugs d. Use of eye shades

e. If there are tendencies of deep sleep conditions

f. If a fire cuts power to AC circuits, the visual signal will not operate g. If person is not within line of sight of visual signals

Under these and other similar common situations an alternate fire alert method such as a non-hearing impaired attendant is needed. The visual signal only increases the chance of being alerted to the presence of fire. No system of this type can fully protect the hearing impaired in case of fire.

MOUNTING - SPEAKER/STROBE	MOUNTING - SPEAKER/STROBE
TO GBLP BACK BOX	To 4” Square x 2 1/8” Deep
	METALLIC BACK BOX

SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS:

1. To select the proper wattage input for the speaker, move the jumper to the appropriate pin. 2. Always maintain electrical isolation between speaker and strobe wiring.

3. Do not exceed 130% of rated speaker voltage. If excessive distortion is heard, check amplifier for signal clipping. If clipping exists, reduce either amplifier input or gain.

4. Product mounts to a standard 4 inch square by 2 1/8 inch deep back box.

5. Four screws are provided, two for securing speaker to the back box and two for aesthetics. The two non-functional screws will be held in place by the pressure fit of the faceplate.

CAUTION

WHEN INSTALLING,ROUTE FIELD WIRING AWAY FROM SHARP

PROJECTIONS, CORNERS AND INTERNAL COMPONENTS. NOTE: Strobes are not recommended for use on coded or pulsing signaling circuits.

CAUTION: APPLIES ONLY TO REGULATED SUPPLIES
V. CHECKOUT AND TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Supply power to the system control panel. The auxiliary signaling device should not be
activated.
2. If the signal is activated:
a. Check all smoke and fire detectors in the system to make sure they have not been activated.
b. Check all wiring connections to make sure the signal detection circuits are not reversed or
shorted together. Check wire color codes and traces.
3. To test the SSPK24WLP Series and other signaling appliances, trip the auxiliary panel,
activate alarm circuit at the main control panel or activate one of the fire detection units in the
system. All auxiliary signals should be activated.
4. An operational test on this product should be conducted in accordance with National
Standards or at a minimum annually and more often if dictated by local and state codes or
authorities having jurisdiction.
SIGNALING APPLIANCE LIMITATIONS:
Your speaker meets or exceeds current audibility requirements of Underwriters Laboratories.
However, if the appliance is located outside a bedroom it may not wake up a sound sleeper,
especially if the room door is closed or only partially open.
THIS APPLIANCE WILL NOT OPER	UT ELECTRICAL POWER. AS FIRES

FREQUENTLY CAUSE POWER INTERRUPTIONS, GENTEX SUGGESTS YOU DISCUSS FURTHER SAFEGUARDS WITH YOUR LOCAL FIRE PROTECTION SPECIALIST.

VI. TO RETURN A UNIT

Should you experience problems with your SSPK24WLP unit, proceed as follows: 1. Turn off electrical power to the auxiliary alarm circuit.

2. Unscrew the unit from the mounting box.

3. Disconnect the unit from the field wiring. Reconnect the two positive supply voltage circuits

(red wires) and the two negative supply voltage circuits (black wires) of the auxiliary alarm circuit to maintain power to the other auxiliary alarm appliances in the audio system.
