CSS-H15
15 Watt Paging Horn
Application
The Commercial Solutions Series
CSS-H15 Paging Horn provides excellent
voice range clarity for public address
systems, announcement/paging,
intercom, security, alarm and industrial
applications. Designed for demanding
environmental conditions, the CSS-H15
is highly weather resistant (IP-65 rated)
so it can be used in either indoor or
outdoor applications. The wide coverage
pattern allows the horn to cover a larger
audience area than is the case with many
paging horns.
Typical applications for this product
are public access areas, warehouses,
factories, schools, recreational facilities,
commercial buildings, distribution
centers, civic centers, and other
commercial sound and protectivesignaling systems.
The CSS-H15 includes a UL-registered
15-watt multi-tap transformer for use with
70V or 100V distributed speaker lines.
The power tap switch is screwdriver
adjustable for easily changing settings
from 15W, 7.5W, 3.8W, 1.9W (and 0.9W
at 70V only). For non-distributed systems
there is an 8 ohm bypass position.
Connection is via bare wire on a built-in
jacketed cable with water-tight entrance
to the speaker.
The transducer diaphragm is sturdy
phenolic material to enhance durability,
especially in outdoor applications, and
to resist deformation under stressful
temperature conditions. To further
increase reliability, a 350 Hz high-pass
filter is built-in to protect the paging horn
against damage from frequencies below
the operational frequency band. The horn
is constructed from sturdy ABS plastic
and exterior hardware is corrosionresistant stainless steel. A stainless steel
mounting bracket is included.
