Integrated Speaker and LED Strobe

This weatherproof appliance combines audible communication and visual signaling in one unit.

The speaker delivers voice messages and emergency notification tones through compatible audio evacuation equipment. Meanwhile, the LED strobe provides a flashing visual warning during an alarm condition.

As a result, the device supports coordinated emergency notification in commercial and industrial environments.

Selectable Candela Settings

The LED strobe provides six field-selectable candela settings.

Available clear-lens settings include 15, 30, 75, 110, 150, and 185 candela.

Therefore, installers can configure the visual output according to the approved fire alarm design. The selected setting also affects electrical current requirements.

In addition, LED technology helps reduce power consumption compared with traditional notification technologies.

High-Efficiency Speaker Performance

The integrated speaker supports compatible 25 VRMS and 70 VRMS audio systems.

It also offers selectable power taps for different notification requirements. Depending on the system voltage, supported settings range from 1/8 watt to 8 watts.

The speaker provides a frequency response of approximately 400 to 4000 Hz. Consequently, it supports clear voice communication and emergency signaling.
