Indoor Selectable Output Speaker Strobes and
Dual Voltage Evacuation Speakers

General

The SpectrAlert Advance Series of speakers and speaker
strobes is designed to reduce ground faults. The plug-in design
allows the installer to pre-wire mounting plates and dress the
wires before plugging in the speakers. The plastic cover pre­vents nicked wires by covering exposed speaker components.

This design also allows faster installations with instant feedback
to ensure that wiring is properly connected; rotary switches to
select voltage and power settings; and 11 field selectable can­dela settings for wall and ceiling speaker strobes.

The low total harmonic distortion of the SP speaker offers high
fidelity sound output while the SPV speaker offers high volume
sound output for use in high ambient noise applications.

SpectrAlert Advance makes installation easy

• Attach a universal mounting plate to a 4” x 4” x 2-1/8” back
box. Flush mount applications are achievable without the
need for an extension ring.

• Connect the notification appliance circuit or speaker wiring to
the PEMS terminals on the mounting plate.

• Attach the speaker or speaker strobe to the mounting plate
by inserting the product tabs into the mounting plate grooves.
Rotate the device into position to lock the product pins into
the mounting plate terminals. The device will temporarily hold
in place with a catch until it is secured with a captured mount­ing screw.

Features

• Plug-in design

• Protective cover isolates speaker components, reduces
ground faults

• Shorting spring on mounting plate tests continuity before
installation

• Rotary switch simplifies field selection of speaker voltage and
power settings

• Universal mounting plate for wall- and ceiling-mount units

• Compatible with System Sensor synchronization protocol

• SP speakers offer high fidelity sound output

• SPV speakers offer high volume sound output

• Automatic selection of 12 or 24 volt operation at 15 and 15/75
candela

• No extension ring required

• Ceiling and wall mount application

• Optional tamper resistant Torx head screw included
