General Description

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has published standards and recommended practices for the speakers described in this manual. As a result, the installer must be familiar with these requirements as well as all local codes and special require

having an output voltage of either 25 volts or 70.7 volts.

The speakers operate at any one of four input power levels. The output sound level is selected at the time of installation, but can be changed, if necessary.

when a 25 volt amplifier is being used. Notice that the header, SW1, has two shunts. One shunt is used to select either 25 or

70.7 volts input. The other shunt is used to select input power

/4, 1/2, 1 or 2 Watts.

The speaker is also equipped with a capacitive input to allow for DC supervision.

Installation

All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes as well as special requirements of the authority having jurisdiction, using the proper wire size. This also includes all applicable NFPA Standards, ANSI/UL 1480, and NEC 760.

Electrical

1. Connect the speaker as shown in Figure 1.

NOTE: Do not loop electrical wiring under terminal screws.

(dBA @ 10 ft.)

Signal levels exceeding 130% rated signal voltage can damage the speaker. Consequently, an incorrect tap connection may cause speaker damage. This means that if a 25V tap is selected when a 70.7V amplifier is being used, speaker damage may result. Therefore, be sure to select the proper taps for the amplifier voltage/input power level combination being used.

Mechanical

Two screws are included for attaching the speaker to the electrical junction box.

NOTE: If surface mounting is required, an extension ring will be

necessary to give proper depth for mounting the speaker. The minimum depth required, in the backbox/extension ring combination, is 2 backbox and 4 depth of at least 2
