Potter PE-SPKC Series Instruction Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
POTTER HIGH FIDELITY SPEAKER AND
SPEAKER STROBE WITH PRE-WIRE/PRE-TEST
CEILING MOUNT (CLEAR AND AMBER LENS)
Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL:
The Potter Electric series PE-SPKC and PE-SPSTC Series High-Fidelity Multi-Candela Speaker Strobes are designed for easy installation
with a pre-wire capable mounting plate. PE-SPKC and PE-SPSTC series High-Fidelity Speaker Strobes are designed for multiple power
requirements with high dBA output at each power tap.
The Potter PE series incorporates a high efficiency speaker for maximum output at minimum power across a frequency range of 300-
8000Hz. The PE series Multi-Candela Strobes provides a synchronized strobe appliance when used in conjunction with an FACP or power
supply that incorporates the Wheelock Sync protocol.
The Potter PE series meets NFPA 2016 20 millisecond light pulse duration code requirements. The maximum number of PE series devices
per NAC is determined by dividing the maximum current rating of the FACP NAC by the total current rating of one PE series device, with a
maximum of 105 PE series strobe devices per NAC. Refer to FACP installation instructions for more detail.
CAUTION: Do not change factory applied finishes. "DO NOT PAINT".
ATTENTION: Ne pas modifiez les finitions appliquées en usine. "NE PAS PEINTURER"
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER APPLICATION, INSTALLATION AND/OR OPERATION OF THESE PRODUCTS IN
AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU
AND/OR OTHERS.

When calculating the total strobe current: Use Table 3 to determine the highest value of "RMS Current" for an individual appliance, then
multiply these values by the total number of appliances; be sure to add the currents for any other appliances powered by the same source
and include any required safety factors.
Make sure that the total RMS current required required by all appliances that are connected to the system's PRIMARY and SECONDARY
power sources, NAC circuits, Sync Modules or Potter power supplies does not exceed the power sources' rated capacity or the current
ratings of any fuses on the circuits to which these appliances are wired.
Check the minimum and maximum output of the power supply and standby battery, and subtract the voltage drop from the circuit wiring
resistance to determine the applied voltage to the appliance.

1. The strobe will produce 1 flash per second over the "Regulated Voltage" range.
2. Strobe is not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off.

6. These appliances were tested to the regulated voltage limits of 16.0-33.0 Volts. Do not apply voltage outside of this range. Check
the minimum and maximum output of the power supply and standby battery and subtract the voltage drop from the circuit wiring
resistance to determine the applied voltage to the strobes. The max wire impedance between strobes shall not exceed 35 ohms.

the current ratings of any fuses on the circuits to which these appliances are wired.
8. The Code 3 temporal pattern (1/2 second on, 1/2 second off, 1/2 second on, 1/2 second off, 1/2 second on, 1-1/2 off and repeat) is
specified by ANSI and NFPA 72 for standard emergency evacuation signaling. Code 3 shall be used only for fire evacuation signaling

1. This model has in-out wiring terminals that accept #12 to #18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires
at each screw terminal. Strip leads 3/8 inches and connect to screw terminals.
2. Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuits to assure integrity of circuit supervision as shown in
Figure 2. The polarity shown in the wiring diagrams is for operation of the appliances. The polarity is
reversed by the FACP during supervision.
