ABOUT PRODUCT
- The SSS-2 (speaker strobe, square, ¼ – 2 Watt) and SSS-8 (speaker strobe, square, 2 – 8 Watt) Series speaker strobes are designed to provide the clearest audible sound with a high audio output at a minimum wattage with visual signaling, complying with ADA requirements.
- These speakers are suitable for fire protective signaling systems, emergency evacuation, and mass notification systems. The low profile speakers can be installed on a standard 4” electrical box with an extention ring or outdoors using the 4BX-3 (square) or 4BX-5 (round) weatherproof back box. The 25V RMS or 70.7V RMS selective input voltage models provide four field selective wattage ranges. Multiple voltage and wattage taps are provided.
