D.
TESTING/OPERATING.
Under certain conditions these devices are capable of producing sounds loud
enough to cause hearing damage. Adequate hearing protection should be worn if
standing within close proximity to device while testing. Recommendations in the
OSHA Sound Level Standard (29 CFR 1910) should not be exceeded.
1.
After installation is complete, be sure to test the system to verify that each speaker
operates satisfactorily. If it is found that the volume is too low for its location, a higher
wattage tap may be selected. Carefully remove the speaker and move the jumper to a higher
wattage tap (see figure 2). Reinstall the speaker and retest.
2.
After completion of initial system test, establish a program for periodic testing of
this device. Refer to NFPA 72, local Fire Codes and the authority having jurisdiction for this
information.
3.
Provide a copy of these instructions for the Safety Engineer, system operator(s)
and maintenance personnel.
SAFETY MESSAGE TO OPERATORS
Even if your warning system is operating properly, it may not be completely
effective. People may not see, hear or heed your warning signal. You must
recognize this fact and ensure that your warning signal achieves its intended effect
through proper testing/training sequences within your specific application(s), or
other appropriate actions.
E.
MAINTENANCE.
If cleaning of the Model AM50’s front face is required, a mild soap solution is recom-
mended as the cleaning agent.
NOTE
Although not advised, if painting/touch-up of the grille model’s vinyl face is
necessary, a vinyl-based paint is required for coverage.
