Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL:
Series E70 and E90 Low Profile Speaker is UL Listed for indoor fire protection service under Standard UL1480 and ULC-S541-2016
(Speakers for Fire Alarm and Signaling Systems). The E70 and E90 speaker is designed for multiple power requirements with high dBA
output at each power tap and offer a choice of field selectable taps, 1/8W to 2W for either 25.0VRMS or 70.0VRMS audio systems. The
Low Profile design incorporates a high efficiency speaker for maximum output at minimum power across a frequency range of 400Hz to
4000Hz, and features a sealed back construction for extra protection and improved audibility. These models incorporate a speaker
mounting plate attached to the speaker for ease of installation, and are listed for indoor use with the backboxes specified in these
instructions (see mounting options).
CAUTION: Do not change factory applied finishes. “DO NOT PAINT”.
ATTENTION: Ne pas modifiez les finitions appliquées en usine. “NE PAS PEINTURER”

NOTES:
1. Reverberant dBA is a minimum UL rating based on sound measurements in a reverberant test room.
2. This appliance does not generate a temporal pattern signal. If the distinctive three-pulse temporal pattern Fire Alarm Evacuation (or
total evacuation) in accordance with NFPA 72, is required, the control unit must be used with appliances that can generate the
temporal pattern signal. Refer to manufacturer's instruction manual for details.

1. This model has in-out wiring terminals that accept two #12 to #18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at each screw terminal. Strip
leads 3/8 inches and connect to screw terminals.
2. Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuits to assure integrity of circuit supervision as shown in Figure 2. The polarity shown in
the wiring diagrams is for operation of the appliances.
SETTINGS:
The Header(J1) on the PCB is used to select the speaker voltage/wattage and sound output level, see Figure 3.

1. Use needle nose pliers to pull and properly insert the jumper plug to the desired setting of Voltage/Wattage.See Table 4.
2. Each letter corresponds to a position on the header located on the printed circuit board. See Figure 3..
3. A 1.5 µF blocking capacitor for DC supervision of audio lines by the FACP is factory wired in series with the speaker input.
Important: Always operate audio amplifiers and speakers within their specified ratings. Excessive input may distort sound quality and
may damage audio equipment. Do not exceed 100% of speaker input voltage per UL 1480. Improper input voltage can damage
speaker. If distortion is heard, check for clipping of the audio appliance with an oscilloscope and reduce the amplifier input level or gain
level to eliminate any clipping.

MOUNTING OPTIONS:
The following figures (A,B) show the maximum number of field wires (conductors) that can enter the backbox used with each mounting
option. If these limits are exceeded, there may be insufficient space in the backbox to accommodate the field wires and stresses from the
wires could damage the product.
Check that the installed product will have sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and conduit, especially if
sheathed multiconductor cable or 3/4" conduit fittings are used.

Note: Backbox is compatible with Wiremold and Conduit.
Mounting holes are for Single-Gang, Double-Gang,

All installations shall be in accordance with:
1) In the United States, the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72.
2) In Canada, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, Section 32; and the Canadian
Standard for the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems - CAN/ULC-S524.
MOUNTING PROCEDURES:
1. Select a mounting option and install the backbox. Screws are provided. Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to
provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product. Do not pass additional wires (used for other than the signaling
appliance) through the backbox. Such additional wires could result in insufficient wiring space for the signaling appliance.
2. Verify appliance settings are correct for your application: Set Speaker Setting to match your Voltage/Wattage/dBA needs (Table 3,
Table 2A).
3. Connect field wiring to the appliance. When terminating field wires, do not use more lead length than required. Excess lead length
could result in insufficient wiring space for the appliance. Do not pass additional wires (used for other than the signaling appliance)
through the backbox. Such additional wires could result in insufficient wiring space for the signaling appliance.
4. Use care and proper techniques to position the field wires in the backbox so that they use minimum space and produce minimum
stress on the product. This is especially important for stiff, heavy gauge wires and wires with thick insulation or sheathing.
5. Use correct orientation for E70/E90 speaker mounting. The Speaker Mounting Plate must be oriented correctly when it is mounted
to the backbox. Turn the Speaker Mounting Plate so that the arrows adjacent to the word “TOP” point to the top side of the
Speaker Mounting Plate.
6. Mount the Speaker to the backbox. Next slide the grille over the Speaker and attach with (2) screws.
Important: Do not over tighten screws or terminals. Excessive torque may affect operation. When using power tools, ensure
the torque is set to the lowest setting available.
NOTE: Final acceptance is subject to Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
Check the installation instructions of the manufacturers of other equipment used in the system for any guidelines or restrictions on wiring
and/or locating Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC) and notification appliances. Some system communication circuits and/or audio
circuits, for example, may require special precautions to assure immunity from electrical noise (e.g. audio crosstalk).
