Extreme Human Environments
It takes a specially-engineered speaker to
stand up to the extreme abuse of human
beings. The VRS-Series has been in-
stalled in some of the most demanding
applications, from high-crime area door-
answer systems to some of the most no-
torious correctional facilities.
What Tough Is (Exploded View)
The VRS-Series features an 11-gauge
stainless steel faceplate (#1). That’s a solid
1/8
"
of the hardest steel around.
Behind that, there’s a heavy-duty steel
barrier (#2) which is designed to let sound
out and nothing in. The barrier is baffled
so that knives, nails, paper clips, and any-
thing else that might fit into the grille
openings will not enter the speaker
nor
make contact with the speaker’s cone.
Then for further protection, a finely per-
forated metal grille (#3) covers the entire
speaker to intercept any object that might
snake its way through the baffles of the
steel barrier.
The VRS-Series not only keeps objects
out, but fluids also cannot damage the
speaker because the speaker’s cone is
made of weather-resistant plastic (#4).
Bypass Feature
In certain rooms such as training or con-
ference rooms where meetings or presen-
tations are held, paging announcements
are considered interruptions. To avoid or
eliminate such interruptions, speakersin-
stalled in these rooms may use attenuators
to set speaker volume low or off. In these
cases, emergency messages would not be
heard by individuals in these rooms.
To ensure critical messages are heard, the
ATP-Series Attenuators include a Bypass
Function that sets emergency messages to
full volume - to all speakers the attenuator
controls - even if the speakers’volume con-
trol knobs are set low or off.A trip voltage of
between 9V and 30V DC causes the attenu-
ator to bypass the volume control function
and provides full volume audio to the
speakers. This is a critical and ideal func-
tion in emergency situations when a mes-
sage must be sent to all individuals in a
building.
AT10A, AT35A
& ATP10, ATP35
Product Features:
Adjusts loudspeaker output levels on 25V & 70V systems
2 Models control up to 10-watt or 35-watt speaker systems
Priority override of volume/Emergency Bypass feature
(ATP models)
10 Attenuation steps and an off setting
Mounts in standard electrical box; single (AT10A, ATP10)
or double (AT35A, ATP35)
Simple connections
Both Attenuator Series (AT and ATP) allow the output
level of a group of loudspeakers to
be set from a wall-
mounted volume control,
without affecting overall
amplifier volume settings. The ATP-Series also has a
priority bypass function which overrides the volume
control knob to provide full volume audio to the speakers.

VRS1, VRS2
Product Features:
Withstands attempts at vandalism in hostile environments
Four layers of defense:
a heavy-duty 11-gauge stainless steel faceplate,
a baffled
steel guard protects the speaker from puncture,
a finely perforated screen stops
thin, flexible objects from damaging the moisture-resistant plastic speaker cone,
and
weather-resistant cone
Grille openings are cross-positioned so that nothing can enter the speaker, not even
the smallest or sharpest objects
Unbreakable metal call button (VRS1 only); VRS2 available without call button
Optional low-impedance, 8-ohm speaker operation
Mounts with one-way security screws (included)
1/2-Watt speaker power on 25V speaker line
3" Weather-resistant cone speaker
These Vandal-Resistant Speaker assemblies ensure
that sound communication gets through reliably, despite
being located in environments susceptible to damage
and destruction. The assembly includes a 3" plastic cone
speaker, securely located and protected behind steel
barriers. Available with or without call button.
