Need help?

Do you have a question about the Penton PBC6T/EN and is the answer not in the manual?

The device described in this manual is a Penton PBC6T/EN or PBC6T/ENC loudspeaker, designed for voice alarm systems in fire detection and alarm systems for buildings. It is certified to EN54-24:2008, Type A, with certification number 0359-CPD-0151, and carries RoHS and CE 13 0359 markings.

Function Description:

This loudspeaker is specifically engineered for voice alarm applications, providing clear audio output for emergency notifications. It is suitable for both 100V and 70V line systems, incorporating a transformer for impedance matching. The "ENC" model includes a capacitor, likely for line supervision or specific filtering requirements. The design emphasizes reliability and performance in critical safety systems, as indicated by its compliance with fire alarm standards.

Important Technical Specifications:

General:

Model: PBC6T/EN, PBC6T/ENC

Environmental Specifications:

IP-rating: 21
Max/Min Ambient Temperature: 55°C / -10°C
Relative Humidity: ≤95%

Mechanical Specifications:

Dimensions (Front & Depth): 330mm x 240mm x 90mm
Net Weight: 1.15 Kgs
Colour: RAL9016 (White)
Material: Low smoke zero Halogen UL-94V0 Plastic with UV inhibitors

Usage Features:

Installation:

The loudspeaker is designed for easy installation on walls or ceilings.

Positioning: Select the desired mounting position (vertical or horizontal). Use a spirit level to ensure the speaker is level.
Marking & Drilling: Offer the speaker to the wall/ceiling and mark through the two mounting holes. Drill two holes 210mm apart and insert raw plugs.
Cabling: Connect the 100V line supply to the desired volume tapping as shown in the circuit diagram. The circuit diagrams illustrate connections for both PBC6T/EN and PBC6T/ENC models, showing the thermal fuse and various power tap options (6W, 3W, 1.5W, 0.75W, 0.25W).
Mounting: Screw the speaker into position using the mounting holes. Once secured, place the two mounting hole caps to conceal the screw heads.
Keyhole Mounting: A keyhole mounting plate is also provided, usable only if the loudspeaker is wall-mounted in a vertical position.

Transformer Tappings:

The device features multiple power tappings for both 100V and 70V line systems, allowing installers to select the appropriate power output (and thus volume) for specific zones. This flexibility is crucial for optimizing sound coverage and intelligibility in different environments.

Material and Safety:

The use of "Low smoke zero Halogen UL-94V0 Plastic with UV inhibitors" for the material highlights its suitability for fire safety applications, minimizing hazardous smoke and maintaining material integrity over time, even with UV exposure.

Maintenance Features:

While the manual does not explicitly detail maintenance procedures, the robust design and material choices suggest a low-maintenance device. The "100 hours max power (6W)" testing ensures long-term reliability without significant deviation from original performance. The compliance with EN54-24:2008 indicates that the device is built to withstand environmental conditions and maintain performance in critical situations, reducing the need for frequent servicing. The "Voice alarm loudspeaker for fire detection and fire alarm system for building" designation implies that it is a critical component that should be regularly checked as part of a building's overall fire safety system maintenance.
