40 WATT EXPLOSION PROOF HORN

PagePac®
INTRODUCTION
Explosion Proof Horn Speakers are constructed
so that all electrical components are sealed from
the atmosphere and may be used in areas where
flammable substances are present. The explosion
proof speakers require some assembly before
installation (see Figure 1).
Explosion proof speakers are mounted, using the
U-shaped mounting bracket (attached to each
speaker). These brackets are intended primarily
for mounting on flat surfaces, and each bracket
has three holes which may be used for installing
mounting hardware. Speaker position in the verti-
cal axis may be adjusted by loosening the bolts
that secure the bracket to the speaker body
(see Figure 1).

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
Separate the horn and the base of the speaker by
holding the base of the speaker tightly and turning
the horn counterclockwise (see Figure 1, View 1).
Separate the two halves of the speaker base by
removing the eight bolts (see Figure 1, View 2).
Make the conduit entry into the speaker as
required by local ordinances for the class and type
of speaker used (see Figure 1, View 3).
On the speaker cable, separate the inner wires for
a distance of 3 or 4 inches by stripping away insu-
lation from the main cable. If using shielded cable,
the inner wire without insulation is the shield wire.
Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the
end of each of the smaller insulated wires.
Note: The cable must enter the speaker through a
conduit that has been installed according to local
ordinances for the class and type of speaker
used.
Connect the wires on terminals 1 and 2. If
shielded cable is used, either splice the shield
wire to provide a continuous shield to the next
speaker, or clip the shield wire at the point where
it emerges from the main cable, as appropriate.
The shield wire should not be terminated on the
speaker.

POWER ADJUSTMENTS
If necessary, remove the power tap selection wire
(white wire) and reattach it to the desired power
tap.The numbers on the terminal strip indicate the
output in watts for a 70-volt paging system (on a
25-volt paging system, the output will be approxi-
mately 1/8 of that indicated (see Table 1)).
Reassemble the two halves of the speaker case
by reinstalling the eight bolts.
CONNECTION TO AMPLIFIER
Exercise special care in removing back cover of
explosion proof driver enclosure (Part 1) to avoid
damaging machined surfaces. Prior to reassem-
bly, make certain that joining surfaces of enclo-
sure are free of dirt. Tighten all cover bolts
completely. To provide the specified protection in
hazardous locations, please note that no com-
pound of any type is to be applied on machined
flange.
