SERIES STH CLUSTER SPEAKER ASSEMBLY
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(WEATHERPROOF)
Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL:
The series STH-4M30WC Cluster Speaker Assembly is designed for ceiling, wall or roof mounting in high ambient noise level
environments. The Series STH-4M30WC Cluster Speakers are a speaker/visual alerting system, equipped with four STH-30 horn
loudspeakers, and a DC-MAX-C Strobe, mounted to a NEMA 4X rated fiberglass enclosure, 13.50"W X 15.50"L X 6.25"D.
Speakers and Strobe are pre-wired to the internal terminal block. The Series STH-4M30WC appliances are weatherproof.
The STH-30 loudspeaker provides multiple power requirements with high dBA output at each power tap. Factory setting for each
speaker is 30 Watts, at 70 Volts, (Setting #5). The ST-H30 design incorporates a compression driver, mounted on a double re-entrant
horn for maximum output at minimum power. The speaker line inputs are compatible with standard supervision of circuit wiring by
a Voice Control Panel. A capacitor is wired to the terminal block in series with the speaker for this purpose.
The DC-MAX-C strobe is a 5-inch tall, 6.2-inch diameter, cylindrical strobe light. The DC-MAX-C strobe provides a highly visible,
clear lens, 100 candela and 60 double flashes per minute that can be seen in all directions. It operates on all standard voltages from
10.5VDC to 31.0VDC, and contains a blocking diode that allows this device to be supervised using standard reverse polarity.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
SPEAKER WATTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH SETTING:
1. Remove the cable entrance interface adaptor and gasket.
2. Adjust the Speaker Wattage Selector Switch for the desired dB and wattage setting (Table 1) for each speaker. Note: Factory
preset is 30 Watts, Setting 5.
3. Reinstall the cable entrance interface adaptor and gasket.
APPLICATION NOTES:
1. Mount the speaker assembly to the desired location.
2. Loosen the 2 Phillips screws to open the enclosure for wiring. (Figure 1)
3. Tighten the 2 Phillips screws to close and seal the enclosure.
4. Loosen the wingnut prior to adjusting the speaker.
5. Adjust speaker orientation for desired direction of sound. Note: Speakers must not be set in a position that will allow water to
accumulate in the speaker.
6. Be sure to keep all wire connections in phase. If wiring is out of phase (+ to + and - to -), lower volume may result.
