CAUTION
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 can-
dela setting in the small window on the front of the unit. For amber lensed
strobes used for full profile measurement, listed candela ratings must be re-
duced in accordance with Table 3. Use Table 2 to determine the current draw
for each candela setting.
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 op-
erating voltages when set to any other candela settings.

˝ 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 and 5).
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.

1. Connect the speaker as shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: Do not loop electrical wiring under terminal screws. Wires con-
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

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.
