The Viking model SA-1S is an 8 inch paging
speaker that has a built in 1.5 watt power amplifier, an infrared remote control detector, and an
integrated digital volume control, all built into an
attractive off-white grill for flush mounting in office
ceilings. The SA-1S self amplified paging speaker
uses a proprietary two wire protocol in which both
40 volts DC power and audio are combined on the
same pair of wires. It is designed for direct connection to the Viking Model SA-25 Self
Amplified Paging Control unit, or use the Viking model SA-X12 expander/adapter to
connect it to virtually any existing paging system.
The SA-1S speaker includes an infrared receiver to accept volume control signals from
a Viking Model SA-IR remote control. Aim the infrared transmitter at the speaker and
press the buttons. The up/down buttons allow users to set the appropriate volume level
for each speaker. The speaker provides an audible “beep” feedback tone to let the user
gauge the volume level even when there’s no background music (or page) playing at
the time.

Infrared remote control is one of several features that set Viking’s self amplified paging system ahead of older legacy
Valcom and Bogen systems. The older 4 wire systems required the installer to pull twice as much wire to each speaker,
and then have to walk around with a ladder to manually set the volume of each speaker to hopefully the proper level. If the
user decides the speakers should have a different volume level, its back up the ladder to adjust more pots.
With the Viking SA Series 2 wire self amplified paging system, the installer can connect all the self amplified paging speakers to the same pair of wires, and then simply show the user how to use the SA-IR infrared remote control to individually
adjust the volume of each speaker.
The convenience of having infrared remote controlled ceiling speakers in an existing paging system can be realized by
using the Viking Model SA-X12 expander/adapter, which will convert any paging audio source (600 ohm, 4 ohm, 8 ohm, 16
ohm, 25 volt, or 70 volt) to Viking’s proprietary SA Series 2 wire protocol. Each SA-X12 can power up to twelve (12) SA-
1S and/or SA-1H self amplified paging speakers.
Connect SA-1S remote controllable ceiling
speakers only to the Viking SA-25 Self
Amplified Paging System control unit or use
the Viking SA-X12 Self Amplified Paging
System expander/ adapter to connect to any
other existing paging system. Follow the
instructions in the SA-25 and/or SA-X12
technical practices for recommended wire
gauge size and wire run lengths based on
the number of speakers to be installed.
