•Read and adhere to the instructions detailed in this manual. Keep this manual with the 360
at all times.
•Make sure all steps are properly taken during assembly and installation. Failure to follow
these steps may result in damage to the device and/or void the warranty.
•Personnel operating the device should always use hearing protection and limit exposure to
high volume audio output.
•Do not bend, twist, or pinch cables, especially at connection points.
•Make sure all cable connection ports are kept clean and clear of debris.
•Only use attachments/accessories specified by Genasys.
•Refer all servicing and maintenance to qualified personnel.

2.0 Overview
This manual will provide instructions for installing the Genasys 360 mass notification
speaker system.
There are two 360 models available: 360X and 360XL.
The 360X is a lighter and smaller speaker system, while the 360XL offers a larger
broadcasting radius and higher sound pressure level (SPL).
The Genasys 360 is an outdoor loudspeaker that uniformly projects highly intelligible voice
messages and alert sounds with 360° coverage. Audio is broadcast from the 360 via one or
more acoustic driver assemblies.
The 360 is designed to be mounted atop a standalone pole or on a non-penetrating roof
mount.
•Poles and roof mounts are not standard accessories and must be purchased
separately.
360 speaker systems are available in one, two, four and eight emitter configurations.
Broadcasting radius and SPL will increase in proportion to the number of emitters.

3.0 System Details
3.1 Stacks
Every Genasys 360 system is made up of an array of stacks. The number of stacks will vary
depending on the 360 model and configuration.
Stacks are identified by number, as seen in Figure 1 below. Numbering starts at 0 for the lowest
stack and continues for each stack above.
ST0 is the base stack and contains the terminal blocks that connect the acoustic drivers to the
audio source.
ST1 and above are the emitter stacks, or emitters. Each emitter contains an acoustic driver
assembly, the device’s sound-producing element.
Genasys 360s are named based on the number of emitters in the system.
•For example, Figure 1 is a Four Emitter because it has four emitter stacks.

3.2 Acoustic Driver Assembly
Each emitter in a 360 speaker system contains a proprietary acoustic driver assembly. The
assembly is made up of four connected drivers. These drivers broadcast the audio from the 360.
Each acoustic driver in the assembly is driven by a maximum of 23 VRMS at frequencies
between 350 Hz and 8.0 kHz. A band-pass filter of 12 dB per octave or better is applied below
350 Hz and above 8.0 kHz.
Acoustic drivers are identified by number, as seen in Figure 2. When inserting the acoustic
driver assembly into the emitter, the back-left driver is DR1 and the numbering continues
clockwise.
Also note the assembly’s handle in Figure 2. Use this handle to hold and insert the assembly
into the emitter.
Section 4.0 provides more information on installing the acoustic driver assembly.

3.3 Terminal Blocks
ST0 (the base stack) contains the terminal blocks used to connect the acoustic drivers to the
audio source. These terminal blocks are installed on a DIN rail that is mounted inside ST0
(Figure 3).
Internal connection cables run down from the acoustic drivers in the upper stacks and connect
to the tops of the terminal blocks. Cables from the audio source connect to the bottoms of the
terminal blocks.
Section 6.0 provides more information on connecting the 360 to its audio source via these
terminal blocks.

4.0 Installing the Acoustic Driver Assembly
To begin, users must install and connect their 360’s acoustic driver assembly.
NOTE: Users will need to repeat the steps in this section for each acoustic driver assembly
included in their 360 system.
The number of assemblies will depend on the 360 model and stack configuration.
Perform the following steps to install the acoustic driver assembly inside of its corresponding
emitter stack.
1. Open the access panel on the desired emitter.
•Use a7/16-inch wrench to loosen the six bolts on the access panels (Figure 4).
oThe bolts do not need to be removed completely.
•Press lightly on the center of the panel to compress the sealing gasket and then
turn the bolts by hand to loosen the internal clamps (Figure 5).

2. Remove the panel from the emitter (Figure 6).
•Note that the panel is secured to the emitter with a lanyard. This is to
avoid dropping the panel while performing maintenance in the field
(Figure 7).
3. Apply the provided silicone lubricant evenly along the acoustic driver assembly’s O-ring,
found on the bottom of the assembly. This ring is indicated by the yellow outline in Figure 8.
