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 field 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 field.  

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.
