OPERATION/TESTING
WARNING
Under certain conditions these devices are capable of
producing sounds loud enough to cause hearing damage.
Adequate hearing protection should be worn if standing within
close proximity to device while testing. Recommendations in
the OSHA Sound Level Standard (29 CFR 1910) should not be
exceeded.
Property damage, serious injury, or death could occur if the
housing is not closed properly. To reduce possibility of
explosion, housing cover must be kept tight (all eight bolts fully
tightened) while circuits are energized.
After installation is complete, be sure to test the system to verify that
each amplified speaker operates satisfactorily. If it is found that the unit is
too loud for its location, an internal volume control can be adjusted.
Remove the housing cover and insert a slotted screwdriver with an 1/8"
blade into the hole shown in figure 2. Gently turn control to desired
loudness. Reinstall the housing cover.
After completion of initial system test, establish a program for periodic
testing of this device. Refer to NFPA 72, local Fire Codes and the
authority having jurisdiction for this information.
Provide a copy of these instructions for the Safety Engineer, system
operator(s) and maintenance personnel.
SAFETY MESSAGE TO OPERATORS

proper
test/training
sequences
within
your
specific
application(s).
