Can this loudspeaker be used on a voice alarm line?
Ask us for the LBC1256/00 EVAC connection adapter: a 3-pole ceramic screw connector with a pre-mounted thermal fuse, installed in series with the loudspeaker's 100 V connection, so a loudspeaker damaged by fire does not take the line down. Sold in sets of 100. For certified evacuation systems, choose an EN54-24 model.
What do the power taps mean?
Each loudspeaker can be set to one of its power taps, for example 6 / 3 W. Choose a lower tap for small or quiet areas and a higher tap for large or noisy ones. Add up the taps of every loudspeaker on a line: the amplifier must deliver at least that total.
Many 6 W ceiling loudspeakers are tapped down to 3 W, 1.5 W or 0.75 W in the field; in smaller or low-noise areas 3 W is more than enough.
