System Sensor warrants its enclosed speaker/strobe to be free from defects in ma-
terials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years

speaker/strobe. No agent, representative, dealer, or employee of the Company has
the authority to increase or alter the obligations or limitations of this Warranty. The
Company’s obligation of this Warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement
of any part of the speaker/strobe which is found to be defective in materials or
workmanship under normal use and service during the three year period commenc-
ing with the date of manufacture. After phoning System Sensor’s toll free number

SpectrAlert Speaker/Strobes have been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
If either of the voltage select or power select shunts is not plugged into
one of the appropriate option positions, the speaker will not sound and
there will be no trouble indication at the panel. Always make sure that the
individual speakers are tested after installation per NFPA regulations.
The speaker may not be heard. The loudness of the speaker meets (or ex-
ceeds) the current Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the
speaker may not attract the attention of a sound sleeper or one who has
recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. The speaker
may not be heard if it is placed on a different floor from the person in haz-
ard or if placed too far away to be heard over the ambient noise. Traffic,
air conditioners, machinery, or music appliances may prevent even alert
persons from hearing the alarm. The speaker may not be heard by persons
who are hearing impaired.
WARNING
The Limitations of Speaker/Strobes
The signal strobe may not be seen. The electronic visual warning signal
uses an extremely reliable xenon flash tube. It flashes at least once every
second. The strobe must not be installed in direct sunlight or areas of high
light intensity (over 60 foot candles) where the visual flash might be disre-
garded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen by the visually impaired.
The signal strobe may cause seizures. Individuals who have positive
photoic response to visual stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epi-
lepsy, should avoid prolonged exposure to environments in which strobe
signals, including this strobe, are activated.
The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies. Coded
power supplies produce interrupted power. The strobe must have an un-
interrupted source of power in order to operate correctly. System Sensor
recommends that the horn and signal strobe always be used in combina-
tion so that the risks from any of the above limitations are minimized.
Surface mount with BBS-SP2 back box skirt
An optional back box skirt is available to provide a finished
appearance. Mount the skirt to the back box using the mount-
ing screws provided with the speaker/strobe as follows:
