General-
Whelen Model WSXPL6Tx* is an explosion
proof 60 watt speaker assembly intended for
use in indoor personnel warning applications,
where high sound level output is required.
The speaker flare is made from fiberglass,
with a spun aluminum re-entrant section. A
speaker driver, with wire leads, is assembled
to the speaker. A heavy-duty, painted steel
mounting bracket allows the installer to
position the speaker in a number of different
ways.
An internal impedance matching transformer
allows the user to select reduced power
levels.
Installation-
Determine the location of the speaker. Mount
to a rigid structure, using the supplied
mounting bracket. The bracket dimensions
are shown in the detail drawing. Position the
speaker as required. Do not position the
speaker pointing upward, if there is a
possibility of filling with water.
Speaker connections are made by carefully
removing the back cover of the driver housing.
Notice that each solder tab on the transformer
is labeled. Solder the two internal driver wires
to the transformer lugs marked 16Ω and C.
Solder one of the siren audio speaker wires to
the lug marked COM. Solder the other
speaker wire to the lug at the desired power
setting.
Prior to re-assembly, make certain that the
machined surfaces if the housing are clean.
Do not use any type of gasket or sealing
compound. Tighten all housing bolts
completely.
