The Cooper Wheelock SAFEPATH4 SP‑SVC Supervised
Volume Control is used with the SP40/2 or SP40S
Facility Communications Systems along with the
SPB‑80/4, SPB‑160, or SPB‑320 Audio Power Boosters
to control the volume of a single speaker, multiple
speakers, or an entire audio loop up to 35 W. An
integrated override relay bypasses the volume
attenuator in alarm conditions allowing the emergency
notification message to be announced at maximum
volume.
Notice
This model is recommended for use with
70.7 VRMS supervised audio systems, but can be
used in 25.0 VRMS systems if the speaker load is
reduced to 4 W.
