Series E Features Speaker/Strobes Description Series E low-profile speaker/strobes are designed for high-efficiency sound output, with dual voltage capability (25/70 VRMS) and fieldselectable taps from 1/8 to 2 watts. The low-profile design incorporates a speaker mounting plate for faster and easier installation. Each model has a built-in level adjustment feature and an attractive grille cover with two flush screws. 5741ss70.jpg 5741ss90.jpg The Series E speaker/strobe models incorporate the low-current, zeroinrush, Series RSS non-sync/sync strobe. Strobe options include 15/75 cd or multi-candela strobe with field-selectable candela settings of: 15, 30, 75, or 110 cd (wall); or 15, 30, 75, or 95 cd, or 115/177 cd (ceiling, depending on model). Series E speaker/strobes provide high audio output with clear audibility, and are designed to meet the critical needs of the life safety industry for effective emergency voice communications, tone signaling, and visible signaling to alert the hearing impaired. The strobe portion of all Series E speaker/strobes may be synchronized when used in conjunction with the SM or DSM (P/N 51548, 51549) sync modules or the Gamewell FF8 power supply. Synchronized strobes offer an easy way to comply with ADA recommendations concerning photosensitive epilepsy. Series E speaker/strobes are listed for indoor use, with a temperature range of 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C) and a maximum humidity of 85%.

The speakers shall be UL Listed under Standard 1480 for Fire Protective Service; speaker appliances equipped with strobes shall additionally be Listed under UL Standard 1971, Emergency Devices for the Hearing Impaired. In addition, the strobes shall be certified to meet the requirements of FCC Part 15, Class B. All speakers shall be designed for a field-selectable input of either 25 or 70 VRMS, with selectable power taps from 1/8 watt to 2 watts. All models shall have a Listed sound output of up to 87 dB at 10 feet (3.048 m), and a Listed frequency response of 400 to 4000 Hz. The speaker shall incorporate sealed back construction. All inputs shall employ terminals that accept 12 AWG to 18 AWG (3.1 to 0.78 mm²) wire. The strobe portion of the appliance shall produce a flash rate of one flash per second over the regulated voltage range and shall incorporate a Xenon flashtube enclosed in a rugged LEXAN® lens. The strobe shall be of low-current design. Where multiplecandela speaker/strobes are specified, the strobe intensity shall be rated per UL 1971 for 15, 30, 75, or 110 candela for wall-mount applications; and 15, 30, 75, or 95 candela, or for 115/177 candela, for ceiling-mount applications (depending on model). The selector switch for selecting the candela shall be Series E CS-2243 10/17/03 Page 1 of 2 • Wall-mount models available with fieldselectable candela settings of 15/30/75/ 110 cd on multi-candela models, or 15/75 cd on non-selectable model. • Ceiling-mount multi-candela models are available with field-selectable candela settings of 15/30/75/95 cd or 115/177 cd, depending on model. • Strobes produce one flash per second over the regulated voltage range. • Zero inrush above peak. • Strobes operate at 24 VDC with wide UL “regulated voltage” using filtered DC or unfiltered VRMS input voltage. • Synchronize strobes with SM or DSM sync modules (P/N 51548, 51549) or FF8 power supply with built-in sync protocol. • Field-selectable taps for 25 or 70 VRMS operation from 1/8 watt to 2 watts. • High-efficiency design for maximum output at minimum wattage across a frequency range of 400 to 4000 Hz. • Fast installation with in/out screw terminals using 12 to 18 AWG (3.1 to 0.78 mm²) wires.
