Speaker and Patented Speaker Strobes INT Series
Integrity Speakers and Speaker-Strobes✔️
✅ are designed for broadcasting high quality, integrated, emergency voice communications, as well as alert and alarm tone signals. Use them in life safety applications, especially to notify the hearing impaired and where transitory people are expected such as in hotels, malls, airports, hospitals and other public buildings
- These speakers are shipped complete with a ‘DC Blocking Capacitor’ to permit electrical supervision of the audio distribution circuit. Models for 25 Vrms and 70 Vrms circuits are available. The mylar speaker with sealed back construction provides extra durability and improved audibility. Wattage taps 1/4W to 2W provide maximum on-site flexibility.
- Integrity’s rugged plastic housing is available with a red or white textured finish. With its ingenious mounting sub-plate, Integrity is firmly held in place with a single screw ensuring a quick, attractive installation. A separate trim plate is not required for flush mounting.
- The flash Kidde strobes will be noticed almost any position in the room, corridor, or large open space. Kidde strobes are UL1971 listed with both wall and ceiling cd intensity ratings (see Specifications). This is useful in areas where the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) permits ceiling mount strobes.
Standard Features
• UL 1971-listed synchronizing strobe
- Integrity strobes synchronize to the latest UL 1971 requirements when used with a synchronization source.
• Genesis-compatible
- All Genesis and Integrity strobes on the same circuit meet UL 1971 synchronization requirements when used with an external control module.
• Approved for public and private mode applications
- UL 1971-listed as signaling devices for the hearing impaired and UL 1638-listed as protective visual signaling appliances.
• High dBA Output
- High efficency, sealed mylar speaker cone produces a loud 90 dBA at 2 watts.
• Multiple Output Taps, 25 or 70 Volt Models
- Easy to for ¼, ½, 1, or 2 watt operation. Integrity speakers are supplied with a DC Blocking Capacitor for audio circuit supervision.
• Field changeable field markings
- Lens language or standard “FIRE” marking is easily changed with optional LKW and LKC series lens kits.
• Easy Installation
- Flush mount to standard North American 4” square box with 1½” extension ring (USA only). Integrity’s universal mounting plate allows it to be wired and then hanging free for easy inspection and testing before it is fastened to the electrical box.
Application
Speakers
- All Integrity speakers include a DC blocking capacitor to allow electrical supervision of the audio distribution circuit. Models for 25 VRMS and 70 VRMS circuits are available. The mylar speaker with its sealed back construction provides extra durability and improved audibility. Wattage taps 2 W to 15 W provide on-site flexibility.
- The suggested sound pressure level for each signaling zone used with alert or alarm signals is a minimum of 15 dB above the average ambient sound level or 5 dB above the maximum sound level having a duration of at least 60 seconds, whichever is greater. This is measured 5 feet (1.5 m) above the floor. The average ambient sound level is the RMS, A-weighted sound pressure measured over a 24-hour period.
- Doubling the distance the signal to the ear will theoretically cause a 6dB reduction in the received sound pressure level. The actual effect depends on the acoustic properties of materials in the space. Doubling the power output of a device (e.g.: a speaker 1W to 2W) will increase the sound pressure level by 3dBA. A 3dBA difference represents a barely noticeable change in volume
Strobes
- Kidde strobes are UL 1971-listed for use indoors as wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted public-mode notification appliances for the hearing impaired. Prevailing codes require strobes to be used where ambient noise conditions exceed specified levels, where occupants use hearing protection, and in areas of public accommodation. Consult with your Authority Having Jurisdiction for details.
- As part of the Enhanced Integrity line of products, INT Series strobes exceed UL synchronization requirements (within 10 milliseconds other over a two-hour period) when used with a synchronization source. Synchronization is important in order to avoid epileptic sensitivity. Integrity strobes are fully compatible with Kidde Genesis signals.
Installation and Mounting
All models fit to a standard flush mounted, North-American four inch square electrical box, 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) deep with 1-1/2 inch (38mm) extension ring. CAUTION (Canada): When using Iberville (Commander extension rings, 2-1/8 inch (54mm) deep extension ring is required. Optional flush trims are not required. For surface mount, use Kidde’s custom indoor and outdoor boxes painted in color-matched red or white epoxy. Kidde recommends that these fire alarm speaker/strobes always be installed in accordance with the latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes.
Typical Wiring
The strobe must be connected to signal circuits which output a constant (not pulsed) 16 to 33 Vdc voltage. Depending on the model, the speaker must be connected to either 25 or 70 V audio circuits.
