Low Power

Increases unit to full output. This selection overrides front panel
controls.
Power Attenuation
(for Informer15,
Informer100, and
versions 4.1 or later
of I-IP-IO and I-IPW)
Set the number of dB SPL to reduce the speaker volume during
functions. 0 dB (of attenuation) produces full volume. For example,
the Informer100 produces approximately 114 dB SPL at 10 feet
with no Power Attenuation. Using Power Attenuation allows a
maximum adjustment of 20 dB. If all 20 dB of Power Attenuation is
used, the Informer100 produces 94 dB of SPL at 10 feet.
Ambient Attenuation
(for Informer15,
Informer100 and
versions 4.1 or later
of I-IP-IO and I-IPW)
Set the noise level threshold for ambient attenuation to begin. As
the sound level drops below the Ambient Attenuation setting, the
output of the speaker is automatically lowered. The maximum
amount of Power and Ambient attenuation is 20 dB
