Description
The Speaker Base (PAD100-SPKB) is a wall or ceiling mount
adjustable speaker that may be utilized in a variety of applications.
The speaker is designed to meet code requirements for audio and voice
communications. The PAD100-SPKB offers dependable evacuation
signaling. The PAD100-SPKB provides a 25 or 70.7 VRMs speaker
with eld selectable power taps of 1/8W, 1/4W, 1/2W, 1W, 2W or 4W.
The frequency range of the PAD100-SKPB is 400-4000 Hz and is
suitable for 520 Hz low frequency tone applications. The base has a
locking feature for the sensor that may be used or removed in the eld.
The panel will support any combination of sensors or modules on the
SLC. The PAD100-SPKB does not consume an address on the loop.
The PAD100-SKPB can be mounted to a 4” by 2-1/8” deep square box
or the LFSBBB-W back box.
The Speaker Base is not an addressable device. Independent control of
the speaker base requires a PAD100-SM speaker module.

PAD100-SPKB
Speaker Base
Detector Base Mounting Locking Feature
PAD100-SPKB should be mounted directly on an electrical box (see
Figure 1) or the LFSBBB-W back box (see Figure 2). The PAD100-
SPKB mounting holes are congured for a 4” x 2-1/8” deep square
box. Use a box for each base and run the power circuit to all base
locations.
Eliminate the Locking Feature
PAD100-SPKB include a locking feature that prevents removal of the
detector and removal of the base cover without using a tool.
1. To eliminate this feature, break off the locking tab and then install
the detector. See Fig. 3.
Removing of Detector Head from Base
2. To remove the detector from the base once the locking feature has
been activated, insert a small screwdriver into the slot on the base to
push the plastic tab while simultaneously turning the detector head
counter-clockwise. See Fig. 4.
3. To remove the base cover from the lower enclosure once the locking
feature has been activated, insert a small screwdriver into the slot on
the on the base to push the plastic tab while simultaneously turning the
detector head counter-clockwise.
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 t of
the faceplate.
Mount the detector

using the mounting
screws.

System Considerations
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 amplier for signal clipping. If clipping exists, reduce
either amplier input or gain.
