Overview

The Federal Signal P-LS2C is a non-metallic Zone 1 loudspeaker engineered for demanding industrial public address and general alarm applications where corrosion resistance and ATEX/IECEx certification are critical. This transformer-coupled unit operates at 100 Vrms and delivers a maximum power output of 25 watts, with 10 preset taps (25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 2, 1.5, 1, 0.5, and 0.2 watts) for precise sound output adjustment. Its re-entrant horn design optimizes acoustic dispersion, ensuring clear and consistent audio coverage. Constructed from corrosion-resistant, anti-static glass-reinforced polyester (GRP), the P-LS2C is built for longevity in harsh environments. It boasts an IP66 rating, providing protection against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Certified for ATEX and IECEx Zone 1, it is approved for Gas Groups IIB and IIC, ensuring safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres. Field wiring connections are facilitated by two M20 x 1.5 mm threaded openings in the rear cover, terminating via internal terminal blocks. All external hardware is manufactured from stainless steel to further enhance corrosion resistance and ensure long-term serviceability. The P-LS2C includes a stainless-steel ratcheted U-mounting bracket for secure angle locking, with an optional swivel mounting bracket available for enhanced directional flexibility. This loudspeaker is ideal for use in factories, refineries, chemical plants, and other hazardous locations requiring reliable, compliant sound reinforcement.
