Honeywell SPCWL Indoor Selectable Output Speaker
L Series, Indoor Ceiling Strobes, and Dual Speakers
Indoor Output Speaker Strobes and Dual Speakers for Ceiling Applications
General
The L-Series indoor selectable-output speaker strobes and dual-voltage evacuation speakers offer a modern, aesthetic plug-in design that reduces costly ground faults. The universal mounting plate can be used in ceiling applications and its flexible design enables the Installer to easily perform the following:
- Pre-wire mounting plates
- Dress the wires
Confirm wiring continuity before the Installer plugs in the speakers. In addition, this product includes a protective plastic cover that shields exposed speaker components and prevents nicked wires. These devices enable faster installations by providing instant feedback to the Installer to ensure the following:
- The wiring is properly connected.
- The rotary switches are set to the selected voltage and power settings.
- The 7 field-selectable candela settings are configured for wall speaker strobes.
- The low total harmonic distortion of the SP speaker offers both high-fidelity and high-volume sound output so that it can be used in high ambient noise applications.
L-Series makes installation easy to install the L-Series speakers or speaker strobe, do the following:
- Attach a universal mounting plate to a 4 x 4 x 2 1/8 inch back box. Flush-mount applications do not require an extension ring.
- Connect the notification appliance circuit or speaker wiring to the terminals on the mounting plate.
- To attach the speaker or speaker strobe to the mounting plate, insert the product tabs into the mounting plate grooves.
- Hinge the device into position to lock the product pins into the mounting plate terminals.
- A catch temporarily holds the device in place until you secure the device with a captured mounting screw.
