The indoor SP and SPV Series are suitable for dry and damp environments. The “K” Series models are suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor applications.
NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of this equipment. The “K” models are suitable for outdoor use in wet environments with out­door back box supplied with the product.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SpectrAlert Advance series of notification appliances offers a wide range of speaker/strobe products for wall and ceiling applications, indoors and out­doors. The strobe portion is designed to be used in 12 or 24 volt, DC or FWR (full wave rectified) systems. The speaker portion can be operated with distri­bution amplifiers having an output voltage of either 25 or 70.7 volts.
With its low total harmonic distortion, the SpectrAlert Advance SP series of­fers high fidelity sound output. The SpectrAlert Advance SPV series offers greater sound output at every tap setting for applications with high ambient noise levels. The speakers operate at any one of four input power levels. These products are electrically backward compatible with the previous generation of SpectrAlert notification appliances. All SpectrAlert Advance products are suit­able for use in synchronized systems. The System Sensor MDL3 module may be used to provide synchronization for the strobes. Wall and ceiling products may be used interchangeably (wall products may be used on the ceiling and ceiling products may be used on the wall.) K Series products are designed to be used over a wider range of temperatures and are suitable for use in wet

locations.
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. System Sensor recommends installing fire alarm speakers in compliance with NFPA 72, ANSI/UL1480 and NEC 760.
LOOP DESIGN AND WIRING
The system designer must make sure that the total current drawn by the de­vices on the loop does not exceed the current capability of the panel supply, and that the last device on the circuit is operated within its rated voltage. The current draw information for making these calculations can be found in the tables within this manual. For convenience and accuracy, use the voltage drop calculator on the System Sensor website (www.systemsensor.com) or CD-ROM.
When calculating the voltage available to the last device, it is necessary to consider the voltage drop due to the resistance of the wire. The thicker the wire, the smaller the voltage drop. Wire resistance tables can be obtained from electrical handbooks. Note that if Class A wiring is installed, the wire length may be up to twice as long as it would be for circuits that are not fault tolerant.
NOTE: For 24 volt applications, the total number of strobes on a single NAC must not exceed 40, with a maximum loop resistance of 120 ohms. For 12 volt applications, the total number of strobes must not exceed 12, with a maxi­mum loop resistance of 30 ohms.
CAUTION
NOTE: Supply power for strobe must be continuous for proper operation.

ELECTRICAL WIRING
1. Connect the speaker as shown in Figure 1.
necting the device to the control panel must be broken at the device terminal connection in order to maintain electrical supervision.
2. There are two rotary switches on the back of the product The first switch is used to select either 25 or 70.7 volts input for the speaker portion. The second switch is used to select the input power of 1/4, 1/2, 1 or 2 watts. See diagram.
SHORTING SPRING
NOTE: Shorting springs are provided between terminals 2 and 3 and between terminals 5 and 6 of the mounting plate to enable wiring checks after the system has been wired, but prior to installation of the final product. These springs will automatically disengage when the product is installed, to enable supervision of the final system.

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.

CANDELA SELECTION
Adjust the slide switch on the rear of the product to position the desired can­dela setting in the small window on the front of the unit. All products meet the light output profiles specified in the appropriate UL Standards. Use Table 2 to determine the current draw for each candela setting. For K series products used outdoors at low temperatures, listed candela ratings must be reduced in accordance with Table 3.
NOTE: SpectrAlert products set at 15 and 15/75 candela automatically work on either 12V or 24V power supplies. The products are not listed for 12V op­erating voltages when set to any other candela settings.

MOUNTING
Mounting Indoor Wall or Ceiling Products
1. Attach mounting plate to junction box as shown in Figures 4 and 5. The mounting plate is compatible 4˝ x 4˝ x 21/8˝ junction boxes. If using a back box skirt or trim ring, attach the mounting plate to the skirt or trim ring and then attach the entire assembly to the junction box (see Figures 4, 6 and 8).
2. Connect field wiring to terminals, as shown in Figure 1.
3. If the product is not to be installed at this point, use the paint cover to prevent contamination of the mounting plate.
4. To attach product to mounting plate, remove the paint cover, then hook tabs on the product housing into the grooves on mounting plate.
5. Then, swing product into position to engage the pins on the product with the terminals on the mounting plate. Make sure that the tabs on the back of the product housing fully engage with the mounting plate.

6. Secure product by tightening the single mounting screw in the front of the product housing. For tamper resistance, the standard captivated mounting screw may be replaced with the enclosed Torx screw.
K Series Mounting
1. K Series products may be used indoors or outdoors. They must be in­stalled using the proper SpectrAlert Advance weatherproof back box. Do not attempt to use boxes other than those specified for use with the product.
2. The plastic weatherproof back box is equipped with removable side flanges for mounting. The back box may be secured directly to the wall or ceiling using the flanges (plastic and metal back boxes) or by using the knockout plugs(plastic back boxes). Knockout plugs are provided to mount directly to the wall or ceiling or to a 1900 weatherproof electrical box, see Figure 12.
3. Threaded holes are provided in the sides of the box for 3/4 inch conduit adapters. Knockout plugs in the back of the box can be used for 1/2 or
3
/4 inch rear entry. Unused holes must be sealed. Plugs and O-Rings are
provided with the box for this purpose.
4. It is the responsibility of the installer to make sure that all openings and connections are sealed properly. Outdoor installations that are protected from direct exposure to rain are still subject to condensation or leakage through hidden areas, such as a soffit.
5. Water may pool on the back box due to condensation or direct exposure to rain or snow. Use watertight fittings for all wiring connections, includ­ing the knockout plugs on the back of the box. When using the plastic plugs to fill unused threaded holes, make sure the O-rings supplied are properly positioned on the plug. The plugs must be sealed with PTFE thread seal tape.
6. Attach the mounting plate to the weatherproof back box using the four non-painted screws.
7. Follow steps 2-5 of the indoor mounting instructions to wire and attach the product. The product must be mounted to the weather proof back box using the painted screws (wall product has 4 screws, ceiling product has 3 screws)
CAUTION
The ‘hold-in-place’ snaps are not intended to secure the product to the back box. The product must be secured to the back box using the screws provided

Please refer to insert for the Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems
Always make sure that the individual speakers are tested after installation per NFPA regulations. The speaker may not be heard. The loudness of the speaker meets (or exceeds) the current Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the speaker may not attract the attention of a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. The speaker may not be heard if it is placed on a different floor from the person in hazard or if placed too far away to be heard over the ambient noise. Traffic, air conditioners, machinery, or music appliances may prevent even alert persons from hearing the alarm. The speaker may not be heard by persons who are hearing impaired. The signal strobe may not be seen. The electronic visual warning signal uses an ex­tremely reliable xenon flash tube. It flashes at least once every second. The strobe must
