4.2.5 Installing Strobe Input Connections (SPB-80/4) 
The strobe input circuit (STB IN) consists of either a power limited 8-33VDC regulated NAC 
circuit input or a contact closure input. The input uses reverse polarity for supervision. The strobe 
return (STB RET) can be used to link other Series SPB Audio booster strobe NAC circuits to the 
host voice evacuation panel, additional strobes powered by the host panel, or connecting the host 
panels 1/2W EOLR. The strobe output provides a synchronized output for compatible Wheelock, 
Inc. synchronized strobes.

4.2.6 Installing Audio and Strobe Output Circuit Connections 
NOTE:  Install a UL Listed 10K Ohm 1/2W EOLR on both AUD1 and AUD2 (SPB-160 and 
SPB-320 only) outputs for supervision whether they are used or not. If the audio circuit is used, 
place the UL Listed 10K Ohm 1/2W EOLR on the last audio appliance on the circuit. Failure to 
do so causes an open condition, causing the TROUBLE LED D73 to turn on as well as the 
respective OPEN LED to light. 
NOTE:  AUD1 and AUD2 are two separate 80-watt, Class B, power-limited audio output 
circuits. Do not wire AUD1 and AUD2 together. 
NOTE: The maximum line impedance for the strobe circuit is 40 ohms.
