SAFETY MESSAGE
People's lives depend on your safe installation, test, operation,
and maintenance of our products. Read, understand, and
follow all safety messages and instructions. Refer to "Safety
Messages for Equipment Used in Fire-Protective Signaling
Systems" and any other documentation shipped with equipment before performing any system related duty.
I. GENERAL.
These two PowerTone models are 25 Vrms and 70
Vrms, indoor/outdoor rated, selectable power output (0.5 to
15 watts) loudspeakers for use with fire alarm signalling
systems such as CPG’s PowerTone system. They are
designed to reproduce electronically generated warning
tones, which command rapid recognition, and full range
voice communication. They are suitable for use in areas
with high ambient noise levels. These speakers are equipped
with a blocking capacitor to allow use in supervised alarm
signalling systems. The PowerTone Model SPHP speaker
is also available with an optional 24VDC strobe light
attached. All strobes are listed by Underwriters Laboratories in their respective categories.
regarding the attached strobe and message label(s) attachment, refer
to Model V1971 strobe instruction sheet (CPG Part No. 2561088 or
2561090) or Model VST strobe instruction sheet (CPG Part No.
2561310). Model V1971 may be used outdoors when Model VW outdoor
kit is employed; otherwise, Model V1971 is for indoor use only. Model
VST may be used for indoor use only. Speaker projectors on all
models are adjustable and may be repositioned to obtain
desired sound distribution.

Mounting Arrangements (see figure 1).
The speaker can be mounted on any relatively flat
surface. Conduit connection can be made to two 1/2"
threaded openings at the bottom of the housing or to 7/8"
knockout in rear of housing. A 1/2" conduit plug is supplied
for field installation if one of the 1/2" threaded openings is
not utilized. After the mounting location and mounting
method have been selected, proceed with the applicable
instructions below.
WARNING
Property damage, serious injury, or death could occur if an
accumulation of water, snow, dust, etc. resides in the speaker
projector, severely reducing or preventing operation of this
device. Mount the unit so speaker projector is pointed horizontally or slightly downward.
