To select the tone for Ex de models:
1.
Unscrew the M3 hex set screw on the side of the housing one full turn.
2.
Remove the cover from the housing by turning the cover counter-clockwise. Three 120-degree spaced reliefs
are provided for a 3/8-inch spanner wrench if needed. If the cover will not unscrew, back out the set screw a few
additional turns.
3.
Loosen the captive Phillips screw retaining the driver/printed circuit board (PCB).
4.
Slide out the PCB and set the tone selector switch to the desired tone.
5.
Insert the driver/PCB into the enclosure taking care not to pinch the wiring and fully tighten the PCB captive screw.
6.
Place cover on housing and tighten it by turning it clockwise.
7.
To ensure O-ring compression, the cover must be fully seated against the housing when the threads are tightened.
Turn the M3 set screw on the side of the housing until the screw contacts the housing.
