UL1480 Type F Listing on the HyperSpike® LineWave® Loudspeaker

27 January 2020

Ultra announces today that its HyperSpike® LineWave® speakers, a loudspeaker solution designed to ensure that critical life-saving messages are heard and understood, has acquired permission to mark as UL1480 Type F and CAN/ULC-S541:2016, Speakers for Fire Alarm and Signaling Systems.

Type F designates the speaker as a fire protective signalling device when installed with supplied installation instructions and requirements of NEC/AHJ.

As the only UL 1480 Type F listed line array speaker available to the Fire and Life Safety industry, the LineWave® addresses one of the most difficult challenges facing emergency notification and paging systems - achieving optimal speech intelligibility and powerful tones in problematic and reverberant spaces.

The LineWave® joins the TCPA-10 and TCPA Omni in the HyperSpike® family of UL1480 listed emergency notification solutions and is available in 70V distributed audio or 16/8/4 Ohm direct drive with power draw ranging from 20W to 160W. Producing a max SPL out of 105dB to 123dB, the LineWave® offers exceptional scaling capabilities for any size installation.

Staying true to those objectives, we are proud to provide our Fire and Life Safety partners with the UL1480 LineWave® notification system that resolves multiple challenges in acoustic environments.”
