Siemens SET-185-R-WP Weatherproof Speaker Strobe P/N:500-636191

The Siemens SET-185-R-WP Weatherproof Speaker Strobe is an audible/visible fire alarm notification appliance designed for outdoor and weather-exposed wall applications. Siemens identifies model SET-185-R-WP, part number 500-636191, as a red weatherproof high-candela speaker strobe.

The appliance combines a high-output emergency voice speaker with a 185-candela visual strobe, providing both voice communication and visible fire alarm notification from a single weatherproof device.

Product Functions

• Provides emergency voice notification
• Provides visible fire alarm notification
• Combines speaker and strobe functions
• Designed for wall mounting
• Weatherproof configuration
• Red housing
• FIRE marking
• Clear strobe lens
• Provides 185-candela visual output
• Supports 25V and 70V audio systems
• Provides selectable speaker wattage
• Supports synchronized visual notification
• Designed for outdoor fire alarm and emergency voice systems

185 Candela Strobe

The SET-185-R-WP provides a high-output:

185 cd

visual signal.

This is a fixed high-candela configuration rather than the multi-candela arrangement used on other SET-series models.

The high visible output makes the appliance suitable for applications requiring greater visual notification coverage.

Emergency Voice Speaker

The speaker is designed for clear reproduction of fire alarm and emergency voice communications.

Typical functions include emergency evacuation messages, live paging, alert tones, and prerecorded instructions.

The published speaker frequency range is:

400 Hz to 4,000 Hz

providing the frequency response required for intelligible emergency voice reproduction.

25V / 70V Speaker Operation

The SET-185-R-WP supports:

25 VRMS

and

70 VRMS

speaker circuits.

This allows the same appliance to operate with common fire alarm voice evacuation and emergency communication amplifier systems.

Selectable Speaker Wattage

The speaker provides selectable power taps ranging from:

⅛ W

¼ W

½ W

1 W

2 W

4 W

8 W

Published sound output ranges from approximately 77 dBA at ⅛ W to 93 dBA at 8 W, depending on the selected power tap.

This broad adjustment range allows the speaker to be configured according to ambient noise, required sound level, amplifier capacity, and emergency voice coverage.

Weatherproof Operation

The WP designation identifies the SET-185-R-WP as a weatherproof notification appliance.

Siemens identifies the model as:

Speaker Hi Candela Wall Red Weatherproof

The weatherproof configuration allows the appliance to be used in appropriate outdoor and wet-location installations when paired with the required mounting hardware.

FIRE Configuration

The specific SET-185-R-WP configuration is:

Housing: Red
Marking: FIRE
Lens: Clear
Mounting: Wall
Strobe: 185 cd
Environment: Weatherproof
Function: Speaker Strobe

This makes it specifically suited to outdoor fire alarm applications requiring both emergency voice and high-intensity visual notification.

Synchronized Notification

The strobe supports synchronized operation with compatible Siemens notification equipment.

Synchronization coordinates multiple visible appliances so their flashes occur together rather than independently.

This is particularly important where several strobes are visible within the same notification area.
