WARNING: THE SPEAKER APPLIANCES MUST BE FIELD SET TO THE DESIRED dBA SOUND OUTPUT

LEVEL BEFORE THEY ARE INSTALLED. THIS IS DONE BY PROPERLY INSERTING JUMPER PLUGS IN

ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS. INCORRECT SETTINGS WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER

PERFORMANCE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU

AND/OR OTHERS.

Each letter corresponds to a plug position of the header located on the printed circuit board. Select voltage and wattage as shown in

GROUNDING: Connect ground wire to backbox. Install signaling appliance to backbox using mounting screws provided.

MOUNTING OPTIONS:

CAUTION: The following figures show the maximum number of field wires (conductors) that can enter the backbox used with each mounting option. If these limits are exceeded, there may be insufficient space in the backbox to accommodate the field wires and stresses from the wires could damage the product.

Although the limits shown for each mounting option comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC), Wheelock recommends use of the largest backbox option shown and the use of approved stranded field wires, whenever possible, to provide additional wiring room for easy installation and minimum stress on the product from wiring.

MOUNTING PROCEDURES:

CAUTION: If sheated multiconductor cable or 3/4" conduit fittings are used, check that installed product has sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and conduit.

1. For weather resistant installation, use outdoor Mounting Option.

2. Do not exceed +130% of speaker rated voltage per UL 1480. Improper input voltage can damage speaker.

CAUTION: Always operate audio amplifiers and speakers within their specified ratings. Excessive input may distort sound quality and may damage audio equipment. 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.

3 Each doubling of rated Watts increases sound output by 3 dBA. Field selectable input terminals are provided on each unit.

The following wattage selections are available: 1/8W, 1/4W, 1/2W, 1W, 2W, 4W, and 8W.

4 All units are compatible with line supervision. Speakers block DC supervision voltage of either polarity.

5 Frequency range of speakers is 400-4000Hz.

6 INPUT TERMINALS: Each input terminal accepts (2) leads for in-out wiring of 12-22 AWG wire. Break wire run to provide electrical supervision. Do not loop wire around screw. Refer to wiring diagram.

7 HARDWARE: All mounting hardware is supplied with the unit. See Mounting Options.

8 Select largest backbox shown in Mounting Options where possible, to provide additional wiring room for easy installation.

9 Conduit entrance to backboxes should be selected to insure sufficient wiring clearance for installed equipment. When extension rings are required, conduit should enter through backbox, not extension ring. Use Steel City #53151 1-1/2" deep or

#53171 2-1/8" deep extension rings or equal with same area cut out in back.

10 When using a weather-proof backbox, use threaded conduit entrance only. Do not use knockout entrance.

CAUTION : Always operate audio amplifiers and speakers within their specified ratings. Excessive input may distort sound quality and may damage audio equipment. Do not exceed +130% of speaker input voltage per UL 1480. 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.

If this appliance is required to produce a distinctive three-pulse Temporal Pattern Fire Alarm Evacuation Signal (for total evacuation) in accordance with NFPA 72, the appliance must be used with a Fire Alarm Control unit that can generate the temporal pattern signal. Refer to manufacturer’s installation manual for details.

CAUTION : 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).
