Dual Voltage Evacuation Speakers

General
The SpectrAlert Advance series offers the broadest line of out-
door speakers and speaker strobes in the industry. From metal
and plastic outdoor back boxes, to white and red plastic hous-
ings, to wall and ceiling mounting options, virtually every appli-
cation is covered. SpectrAlert Advance outdoor speakers and
speaker strobes offer reliable operation over the entire tempera-
ture range of -40°F to 151°F. They may be used indoors or out-
doors in wet or dry applications. In addition, these speakers
provide a broad frequency response range and low harmonic
distortion to provide an accurate and intelligible broadcast of
evacuation messages. High sound pressure level at all tap set-
tings ensures that messages are clearly heard.
The plug-in design allows the installer to pre-wire mounting
plates and dress the wires before plugging in the speakers to
help reduce ground faults. This design also allows faster instal-
lations with instant feedback to ensure that wiring is properly
connected, rotary switches to select voltage and power settings,
and field selectable candela settings for wall and ceiling speaker
strobes.
The new weatherproof back boxes have plastic and metal ver-
sions. They are now designed to accommodate in-and-out wir-
ing for daisy chaining outdoor devices. The plastic weatherproof
back boxes shipped with the product feature removable side
flanges and improved resistance to salt water corrosion. The
screw hole knockouts located on the back of the weatherproof
back box eliminate the need to drill holes for screw-in mounting.
Both weatherproof back boxes are available with 3/4 inch top
and bottom conduit entries and 3/4 inch knock-outs at the back.
Included with each back box is a screw-in NPT plug with an O-
ring gasket for a watertight seal. Metal back boxes are available
separately.
