Signal levels exceeding 130% rated signal voltage can
damage the speaker. Consequently, an incorrect tap con-
nection 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.

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, UL 1971 and
NEC 760.
Electrical
1. Connect the speaker/strobe as shown in Figure 1. Keep
in mind that even though the speaker and strobe are a
single mechanical unit, they are electrically independent
and require separate power sources.
NOTE: Do NOT loop electrical wiring under terminal
screws. Wires connecting the device to the control
panel must be broken at the device terminal con-
nection in order to maintain electrical supervision.
NOTE: Supply power for strobe must be continuous for
proper operation.

input 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 of
