UL 2043
GENERAL NOTES
Sound Advance CT8B and CT10B Series Loud-
speakers comply with the requirements of UL 2043 -
“Fire Test for Heat and Visible Smoke Release for
Discrete Products and their Accessories installed in Air-
Handling Spaces”, Nov.23, 1992, in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, N.F.P.A 70, Section 300-22(c)
and N.F.P.A. 90A-1993, “Installation of Air Conditioning
and Ventilation Systems”, Section 2-3.10.1(a), Exception
2, when properly installed with a compatible Enclosure/
Support combination which is Listed for use in air
handling spaces.
An Air-Handling Space is the space that exists
between the upper surface of the finished ceiling and
the lower surface of the structural ceiling or roof (or the
contiguous upper floor), which has been designed to
supply non-ducted fresh air into a living space, or to
collect and discharge such air without the use of air
ducts.
System Engineers and Installers must always
consult with the Local Authorities in order to obtain
specific requirements of an installation or product
utilization. Please refer to the 960.060 Rev.0 Data
Sheet or call factory for more information.
UL 263
GENERAL NOTES
UL 263 Standard (Fire Resistance Rating for Walls
and Ceilings) has been established to determine the
ability of a wall or ceiling structure, in its entirety, to act
as a barrier to the spread of fire and to confine it to the
area of origin. Fire may spread from one area to another
by collapse of the barrier, or by openings through which
hot gases may pass, or by conduction of sufficient heat
to ignite combustibles beyond the barrier.
A Fire Rated Ceiling is designed to contain a room
fire and to limit the heat rise rate of the floor or roof
assembly above, preventing structural failure and fire
spread, while allowing for safe evacuation. As a result of
this Fire Resistance Test, a Fire Rating of 1, 2, 3 or 4
Hours is designated to a material.
When Speaker assemblies are placed in a wall or
ceiling that is “Fire Rated” or “Fire Resistance Rated”,
they must be installed in such a manner, and using
suitable materials so that the integrity of the wall or
ceiling (the surface’s ability to act as a barrier to the
spread of fire in its entirety) is not being compromised.
Speakers and accessories are NOT listed under
UL 263, but it is generally accepted to build a firebox
with Fire Rated materials around the speaker opening.
Such box is generally made of the same material as the
Fire Rated ceiling (Gypsum Board, mineral fiber tiles,
etc.).
You must consult with the local authorities in
regards of the box dimensions, joining methods and
what caulking materials to use in order to comply with
the Standard.
If a situation should arise which cannot be re-
solved through the information contained in these
installation instructions, please contact SOUND AD-
