STH-15 Horn Speakers are ULC Listed for indoor/outdoor use with a temperature range of -40
°
F to 151
°

°
C) and maximum humidity of 95% RH.
2.
A blocking capacitor for DC supervision of audio lines by the FACP is factory wired in series with the speaker input.
3.
Excessive bass energy can damage horn voice coils, especially at high power levels. To avoid possible damage, an
amplifier with a bass roll-off filter (horn protect circuit) should be used.
4.
Always operate audio amplifiers and speakers within their specified ratings. Excessive input may distort sound quality
and may damage audio equipment. Do not 130% of speaker input voltage. Improper input voltage can
damage speaker. If distortion is heard, check for clipping of the audio appliance with an oscilloscope and reduce the
amplifier input level or gain level to eliminate any clipping.
5.
Do not over tighten screws or terminals. Excessive torque may affect operation. When using power tools, ensure the
torque is set to the lowest setting available.
IMPORTANT:
Check the installation instructions of the manufacturers of other equipment used in the system for any guidelines
or restrictions on wiring and/or locating Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC) and notification appliances. Some system
communication circuits and/or audio circuits, for example, may require special precautions to assure electrical noise immunity
(e.g. audio crosstalk).
