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.

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 OPERATE WITHOUT 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.
