BEFORE INSTALLING
Please read the System Sensor Voice Evacuation
Application Guide, which provides detailed in-
formation on speaker notification devices, wiring
and special applications. Copies of this manual are
available from System Sensor. NFPA 72, CAN/ULC
S524 and NEMA guidelines should be observed.
Important:
The notification appliance used must be
tested and maintained following NFPA 72 require-
ments.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
System Sensor series of notification appliances offer
a wide range of audible and visible devices for life
safety notification. The SPCW8 speaker is designed
to be used at either 25 or 70.7 volts, with field se-
lectable tap settings from
⅛
to 8 Watts. These prod-
ucts are designed for high efficiency sound output
with low total harmonic distortion to offer high fi-
delity sound output.
Its clear audibility is designed to meet life safety
needs from fire to emergency communication mes-
sages. With its wide frequency range it can also
be used for general signaling such as paging and
background music. The SPCW8 speaker is listed
to ANSI/UL 1480, CAN/ULC S541 and CSA C22.2
No. 205 requirements for public mode and general
signaling applications as well as ANSI/UL 2043 ple-
num rated. Speaker is suitable for indoor and damp
installations.
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the
National Electrical Code (NEC , Canadian Electri-
cal Code) and applicable local codes. System Sensor
recommends installing fire alarm speakers in com-
pliance with NFPA 72, ANSI/UL 1480 , CAN/ULC
S524 and NEC 760.
WIRING AND MOUNTING
All wiring must be installed in compliance with the
National Electric Code and the local codes as well as
the authority having jurisdiction. Wiring must not
be of such length or wire size which would cause
the notification appliance to operate outside of its
published specifications. Improper connections can
prevent the system from alerting occupants in the
event of an emergency.
Wire sizes up to 12 AWG (3.31 mm²) may be con-
nected to the wiring terminals. The terminals are
pre-set to accommodate 12 AWG wiring.
