Safety Message to Operators

TESTING/TRAINING PRECAUTIONS — Even if your warning
system is operating properly, it may not be completely effective.
People may not hear or heed your warning signal. You must
recognize this fact and ensure that your warning signal achieves
its intended effect through proper test/training sequences within
your specific application(s).

Testing and Operating the Speaker

SOUND HAZARD — Under certain conditions these devices are
capable of producing sounds loud enough to cause hearing
damage. Adequate hearing protection should be worn if standing
within close proximity to device while testing. Recommendations
in the OSHA Sound Level Standard (29 CFR 1910) should not be
exceeded.
EXPLOSION HAZARD — Property damage, serious injury, or
death could occur if the housing is not closed properly. To
reduce possibility of explosion, the housing cover must be kept
tight while circuits are energized.
After the installation is completed, be sure to test the system to verify
that each amplified speaker operates satisfactorily. If the speaker is too
loud for the location, adjust the volume as described in these steps:
1. Remove the housing cover and insert a slotted electrician-type
screwdriver into the volume control shown in Figure 4 on page 12.
2. Gently turn the control counter-clockwise to decrease the sound
output to the desired loudness.
3.
Reinstall the housing cover.
After completion of the initial system test, establish a program for
periodic testing of this device. Refer to NFPA 72G, local Fire Codes
and the authority having jurisdiction for this information.
