SYS EM CONSIDERA IONS
1. To select the proper wattage input for the speaker, move the jumper to the appropriate pin.
2. Always maintain electrical isolation between speaker and strobe wiring on combination units.
3. Do not exceed 130% of rated speaker voltage. If excessive distortion is heard, check amplifier for signal clipping. If clipping exists, reduce either amplifier input or gain.
4. Four screws are provided, two for securing speaker to the back box and two for aesthetics. The two non-functional screws will be held in place by the pressure fit of the
faceplate.

NOTICE: VISUAL SIGNALS FOR T E EARING IMPAIRED ARE ONLY ONE MET OD OF ALERTING T E EARING IMPAIRED. VISUAL SIGNALS MAY NOT BE T E
PREFERRED MET OD FOR NOTIFYING ALL EARING IMPAIRED INDIVIDUALS.
NOTICE: T E STROBE LIG T MUST BE SEEN BY T E SLEEPING PERSON. IF T E PERSON AS EAD TURNED OR OT ERWISE UNABLE TO BE ALERTED BY
VISUAL, T E STROBE WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE.
Visual signal should NEVER be relied upon as the primary fire alert for the hearing impaired under these common sense conditions:
a. Sleeping face down on the bedding or pillow
b. Use of sleep medications of any kind
c. Use of alcoholic beverages or recreational drugs
d. Use of eye shades
e. If there are tendencies of deep sleep conditions
f. If a fire cuts power to AC circuits, the visual signal will not operate
g. If person is not within line of sight of visual signals
Under these and other similar common situations an alternate fire alert method such as a non-hearing impaired attendant is needed. he visual signal only
increases the chance of being alerted to the presence of fire. No system of this type can fully protect the hearing impaired in case of fire.
