Fire Alarm Speakers
When a fire breaks out, these speakers broadcast instructions. Connect them to your fire detection system and use your control panel to program the message. These speakers help you comply with NFPA 72 standards for fire alarm systems.
All speakers must be mounted to an outlet box: use an existing box in your facility, add an outlet box (sold separately), or choose a speaker that includes an outlet box.
