SpectrAlert Advance offers the broadest line of outdoor
speakers and speaker strobes in the industry. From metal and plastic
outdoor back boxes, to white and red plastic housings, to wall and
ceiling mounting options, SpectrAlert Advance can meet virtually any
application requirement.
Wall-mount outdoor speakers and speaker strobes can be used
indoors or outdoors in wet or dry applications, and can provide
reliable operation from −40°F to 151°F. These speakers provide
a broad frequency response range, low harmonic distortion and
maintain a high sound pressure level at all tap settings to provide
accurate and intelligible broadcast of evacuation messages.
Like the entire SpectrAlert Advance line, wall-mount outdoor speakers
and speaker strobes include a variety of features that increase
application flexibility and simplify installation. First, field-selectable
settings, including candela, speaker voltage and power settings, and
automatic selection of 12- or 24-volt operation enable installers to
easily adapt devices to meet requirements.
Next, these devices use a universal mounting plate with an onboard
shorting spring that ensures wiring continuity before devices are
installed, so installers can verify proper wiring without mounting the
devices and exposing them to potential construction damage. Once
the plates are mounted, all SpectrAlert Advance devices utilize a
plug-in design with a single captured screw to speed installation and
virtually eliminate costly ground faults.
Outdoor devices ship with weatherproof plastic back boxes (metal
back boxes are available separately) that accommodate in-andout wiring for daisy chaining devices. Plastic back boxes feature
removable side flanges and improved resistance to saltwater
corrosion. Knock-outs located on the back eliminate the need to drill
holes for screw-in mounting. Plastic and metal weatherproof back
boxes come with ¾-inch top and bottom conduit entries and ¾-inch
knock-outs at the back. A screw-in NPT plug with an O-ring gasket
for a watertight seal is included with each back box.

plate. Also, SpectrAlert Advance speaker strobes, when used with the Sync•Circuit™ Module accessory, shall be powered from a non-coded
notification appliance circuit output and shall operate on a nominal 12 or 24 volts. When used with the Sync•Circuit Module, 12-volt-rated
notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate between 8.5 and 17.5 volts; 24-volt-rated notification appliance circuit outputs shall operate
between 16.5 and 33 volts. Outdoor SpectrAlert Advance products shall operate between –40°F and 151°F from a regulated DC, or full-wave
rectified, unfiltered power supply.
Speaker
Speaker shall be a System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance Model ______ dual-voltage transformer speaker capable of operating at 25.0 or 70.7
nominal Vrms. Speaker shall be listed to Underwriters Laboratories Standard S4048 for outdoor fire protective signaling systems. Speaker
shall have a frequency range of 400 to 4,000 Hz and shall have an operating temperature from –40°F to 150.8°F. Speaker shall have power
taps and wattage settings that are selected by rotary switches. The speaker must be installed with its weatherproof back box in order to
remain outdoor approved per UL listing S4048. The speaker shall be suitable for use in air handling spaces and wet environments.
Speaker Strobe Combination
The speaker strobe shall be a System Sensor Model _____ listed to UL 1638 and UL 1480 and be approved for fire protective signaling
systems. Speaker shall be capable of operating at 25.0 or 70.7 nominal Vrms and shall have a frequency range of 400 to 4,000 Hz. Speaker
shall have power taps that are selected by rotary switch. The strobe shall consist of a xenon flash tube with associated lens/reflector system
and operate on either 12 or 24 volts. The strobe shall also feature selectable candela output, providing options for 15 or 15/75 candela when
operating on 12 volts and 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 110, 115, 135, 150, 177 or 185 candela when operating on 24 volts. The strobe shall comply with
the Americans with Disabilities Act requirement for visible signaling appliances, flashing at 1 Hz over the strobe’s entire operating voltage
range. The speaker strobe must be installed with its weatherproof back box in order to remain outdoor approved per UL. The speaker strobe
