The Gentex SSPKCLPW is a universal-mount fire alarm speaker from the Gentex SSPKCLP Series. It operates on 25 or 70.7 VRMS audio circuits with field-selectable power taps. As a result, the SSPKCLPW supports voice evacuation, mass-notification audio, and tone signaling. Furthermore, it ships with an off-white faceplate and plain (no lettering) bezel.
Gentex SSPKCLPW Specifications
The SSPKCLPW provides field-selectable power taps of 1/8W, 1/4W, 1/2W, 1W, 2W, and 4W. In addition, both 25 VRMS and 70.7 VRMS operation are field-selectable on the same unit. Also, the frequency response is 400–4000 Hz — intelligible for voice messaging. Furthermore, screw terminals accept 12–18 AWG wire with separate in/out connections.

Installation Notes for Gentex SSPKCLPW
First, the SSPKCLPW mounts to a standard 4″ square × 2-1/8″ deep back box. Therefore, an extension ring is not required. Then, the universal-mount design supports both wall and ceiling installations. Also, tap settings are adjusted with field-selectable jumper pins. In addition, the UL 2043 listing approves the unit for installation in return-air plenum spaces. Furthermore, the tamperproof grill resists unauthorized adjustment. However, the SSPKCLPW is not listed for outdoor use, and operating temperature is 32°–120°F (0°–49°C). For synchronization across multiple speakers, use the Gentex AVSM Control Module per NFPA 72. As a result, this speaker is appropriate for voice-evac and mass-notification systems in commercial buildings.
