The Speech Box is a wired remote speaker and microphone device for

indoor use, which provides remote audio capability to enable two-way
voice communication, between the user and the central station or private
telephone, via the PowerMax Pro / PowerMaxComplete control panel.

To use the Speech box with PowerMaxComplete, the Zones Expander
module must be installed (zones expander is sold separately). To use the
Speech box with PowerMax PRO, the Speech Box interface kit for
PowerMax PRO must be installed (Speech Box interface kit is sold
separately).

Power Source: Internal 12 VDC power supply from PowerMax Pro /
PowerMaxComplete.
Current Drain:

- OFF mode – 1 mA

- ON mode – (no speech activity) – 6 mA

- ON mode – (full speech activity) – 200 mA max.
Tamper Switch: A tamper alert is transmitted to the PowerMax Pro /

PowerMaxComplete when the Speech Box case is opened, or if the
Speech Box is ripped from the wall. The alert terminates once the tamper
switch is restored.

sounded either via the PowerMax Pro / PowerMaxComplete unit,
via the Speech Box, or via both the Speech Box and PowerMax Pro
/ PowerMaxComplete unit. From the PowerMax Pro /
PowerMaxComplete keypad, gain access to the Installer Menu and
then enter the Define Voice mode. Proceed as described figure 5
