Wiring the alarm speaker in the distribution box

At the enclosure box, connect the wires to the SPKR + and SPKR - terminals at the rear of the speaker unit. Amber lens strobe appliances also comply with the polar distribution requirements for Indoor Fire Protection Service and NFPA-72 for Mass Notification Systems. The "K" Series models are suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor applications. This tutorial covers everything from connecting speaker and strobe circuits to handling shielded cable, placing end-of-line resistors, and ensuring proper electrical connections for supervision. There are several applications for fully supervised or non-supervised bells, horns and speakers.
