NOTICE: This manual shall be left with the owner/user of
this equipment.
General Description
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has pub-
lished standards and recommended practices for the speak-
ers described in this manual. As a result, the installer must
be familiar with these requirements as well as all local
codes and special requirements of the authority having ju-
risdiction.
SP200 series speakers can be operated with distribution
amplifiers having an output voltage of either 25 volts or
70.7 volts.
The speakers operate at any one of four input power levels.
The output sound level is selected at the time of installa-
tion, but can be changed, if necessary.
The speaker is also equipped with a capacitive input to al-
low for DC supervision.
Installation
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the Na-
tional Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes as
well as special requirements of the authority having juris-
diction, using the proper wire size. This also includes all
applicable NFPA Standards, ANSI/UL 1480, and NEC 760.
Electrical
1. Connect the speaker as shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: Do NOT loop electrical wiring under terminal
screws. Wires connecting the device to the control
panel must be broken at the device terminal con-
nection in order to maintain electrical supervision.

2. See Figure 2 as an example of how to select a 1/4 Watt
input when a 25 volt amplifier is being used. Notice that
the header, SW1, has two shunts. One shunt is used to
select either 25 or 70.7 volts input. The other shunt is
used to select input power of 1/4, 1/2, 1 or 2 Watts.

Signal levels exceeding 130% rated signal voltage can
damage the speaker. Consequently, an incorrect tap
connection may cause speaker damage. This means that
if a 25V tap is selected when a 70.7V amplifier is being
used, speaker damage may result. Therefore, be sure to
select the proper taps for the amplifier voltage/input
power level combination being used.
Mechanical
Two screws are included for attaching the speaker to the
electrical junction box.
NOTE: If surface mounting is required, an extension ring
will be necessary to give proper depth for mounting the
speaker. The minimum depth required, in the backbox/ex-
tension ring combination, is 2-5/8”. Any combination of 4”
x 4” backbox and 4” x 4” extension ring that gives an inte-
rior depth of at least 2-5/8” may be used.
If either of the voltage select or power select shunts is not plugged into
one of the appropriate option positions, the speaker will not sound and
there will be no trouble indication at the panel. Always make sure that the
individual speakers are tested after installation per NFPA regulations.
The speaker may not be heard. The loudness of the speaker meets (or
exceeds) the current Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the

Three-Year Limited Warranty
System Sensor warrants its enclosed speaker to be free from defects in ma-
terials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of
three years from date of manufacture. System Sensor makes no other ex-
press warranty for this speaker. No agent, representative, dealer, or em-
ployee of the Company has the authority to increase or alter the
obligations or limitations of this Warranty. The Company’s obligation of
this Warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement of any part of
the speaker which is found to be defective in materials or workmanship
under normal use and service during the three year period commencing
with the date of manufacture. After phoning System Sensor’s toll free
number 800-SENSOR2 (736-7672) for a Return Authorization number,
send defective units postage prepaid to: System Sensor, Repair Depart-
ment, RA #__________, 3825 Ohio Avenue, St. Charles, IL 60174. Please
include a note describing the malfunction and suspected cause of failure.
The Company shall not be obligated to repair or replace units which are
found to be defective because of damage, unreasonable use, modifica-
tions, or alterations occurring after the date of manufacture. In no case
shall the Company be liable for any consequential or incidental damages
for breach of this or any other Warranty, expressed or implied whatsoever,
even if the loss or damage is caused by the Company’s negligence or fault.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse-
quential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to
you. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights which vary from state to state.
Table 1. Sound levels for each transformer
power tap:
speaker may not attract the attention of a sound sleeper or one who has
recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. The speaker
may not be heard if it is placed on a different floor from the person in haz-
ard or if placed too far away to be heard over the ambient noise. Traffic, air
conditioners, machinery, or music appliances may prevent even alert per-
sons from hearing the alarm. The speaker may not be heard by persons
who are hearing impaired.
Mounting
See Figure 3. The speaker can be flush mounted on a 4" X
4" X 2-1/8" back box, as follows:
A. Select the appropriate pair of diagonally opposite
mounting holes in the speaker grille.
B. Use the two 8-32 X 1-3/4" screws, provided, to attach the
speaker to the back box.
