Installation instructions
Caution: Electrical supervision requires the wire run to be
broken at each terminal. Do not loop the signaling circuit field
wires around the terminals.
To install the speaker:
1. Remove the cover by depressing the tab on the side of the
unit with a small screwdriver. Turn the cover
counterclockwise to release.
2. Connect the speaker terminals to the signal circuit field
wiring. You must observe polarity for the unit to function
properly. See Figure 1.
3. Slide the wattage switch to the desired wattage tap (2 W,
1 W, 1/2 W, or 1/4 W) by aligning it with the indicator
below the switch. See Figure 2.
