Description

Series E low-profile speaker/strobes

are designed for high-efficiency

sound output, with dual voltage

selectable taps from 1/8 to 2 watts.

The low-profile design incorporates

a speaker mounting plate for faster

and easier installation. Each model

has a built-in level adjustment

feature and an attractive grille

cover with two flush screws.

The Series E speaker/strobe models

incorporate the low-current, zero-

inrush, Series RSS non-sync/sync strobe. Strobe options include 15/75 cd or

multi-candela strobe with field-selectable candela settings of: 15, 30, 75, or 110

cd (wall); or 15, 30, 75, or 95 cd, or 115/177 cd (ceiling, depending on model).

Series E speaker/strobes provide high audio output with clear audibility,

and are designed to meet the critical needs of the life safety industry for

effective emergency voice communications, tone signaling, and visible

signaling to alert the hearing impaired. The strobe portion of all Series E

speaker/strobes may be synchronized when used in conjunction with the SM

or DSM (P/N 51548, 51549) sync modules or the Gamewell FF8 power

supply. Synchronized strobes offer an easy way to comply with ADA recom-

mendations concerning photosensitive epilepsy. Series E speaker/strobes

are listed for indoor use, with a temperature range of 32°F to 120°F (0°C to

49°C) and a maximum humidity of 85%.

Architectural/Engineering Specifications

The speaker appliances shall be Series E speaker/strobes. The speakers

shall be UL Listed under Standard 1480 for Fire Protective Service; speaker

appliances equipped with strobes shall additionally be Listed under UL

Standard 1971, Emergency Devices for the Hearing Impaired. In addition,

the strobes shall be certified to meet the requirements of FCC Part 15,

Class B.

All speakers shall be designed for a field-selectable input of either 25 or 70

have a Listed sound output of up to 87 dB at 10 feet (3.048 m), and a Listed

frequency response of 400 to 4000 Hz. The speaker shall incorporate sealed

back construction. All inputs shall employ terminals that accept 12 AWG to

18 AWG (3.1 to 0.78 mm²) wire. The strobe portion of the appliance shall

produce a flash rate of one flash per second over the regulated voltage

range and shall incorporate a Xenon flashtube enclosed in a rugged

LEXAN® lens. The strobe shall be of low-current design. Where multiple-

candela speaker/strobes are specified, the strobe intensity shall be rated per

UL 1971 for 15, 30, 75, or 110 candela for wall-mount applications; and 15,

30, 75, or 95 candela, or for 115/177 candela, for ceiling-mount applications

(depending on model). The selector switch for selecting the candela shall be
