Outdoor Selectable Output Speaker Strobes and
Dual Voltage Evacuation Speakers

General

The SpectrAlert Advance series offers the broadest line of out-

door speakers and speaker strobes in the industry. From metal

and plastic outdoor back boxes, to white and red plastic hous-

ings, to wall and ceiling mounting options, virtually every appli-

cation is covered. SpectrAlert Advance outdoor speakers and

speaker strobes offer reliable operation over the entire tempera-

ture range of -40°F to 151°F. They may be used indoors or out-

doors in wet or dry applications. In addition, these speakers

provide a broad frequency response range and low harmonic

distortion to provide an accurate and intelligible broadcast of

evacuation messages. High sound pressure level at all tap set-

tings ensures that messages are clearly heard.
The plug-in design allows the installer to pre-wire mounting

plates and dress the wires before plugging in the speakers to

help reduce ground faults. This design also allows faster instal-

lations with instant feedback to ensure that wiring is properly

connected, rotary switches to select voltage and power settings,

and field selectable candela settings for wall and ceiling speaker

strobes.
The new weatherproof back boxes have plastic and metal ver-

sions. They are now designed to accommodate in-and-out wir-

ing for daisy chaining outdoor devices. The plastic weatherproof

back boxes shipped with the product feature removable side

flanges and improved resistance to salt water corrosion. The

screw hole knockouts located on the back of the weatherproof

back box eliminate the need to drill holes for screw-in mounting.

Both weatherproof back boxes are available with 3/4 inch top

and bottom conduit entries and 3/4 inch knock-outs at the back.

Included with each back box is a screw-in NPT plug with an O-

ring gasket for a watertight seal. Metal back boxes are available

separately.
