NOTE

:  The Code-3 Horn and Code-3 Tone (set on HIGH dBA) incorporate the temporal pattern specified by ANSI/NFPA for 

standard emergency evacuation signaling.  

They should be used only for fire evacuation signaling and not for any other purpose

.

 

 
The Horn and Bell Tones can be used on coded systems with a minimum On-Time of 1/4 second.  All other tones are recommended 
for use only on continuous (non-coded) systems. 
 

WIRING INFORMATION: 
 

WARNING:  SHUT OFF ALL POWER BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION.  ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN 

CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

1.

 

Strip leads 3/8 inches and connect to screw terminals.  115VAC Multitone Appliances have in-out wiring terminals that 
accepts two #12 to #18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at each screw terminal.   

 

2.

 

Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuits to assure integrity of circuit supervision.  The polarity shown in the wiring 
diagram is for operation of the appliances.  The polarity is reversed by the FACP during supervision. 

 

MOUNTING OPTIONS: 
 

CAUTION:  

The following figures show the maximum number of field wires (conductors) that can enter the backbox used with 

each mounting option.  If these limits are exceeded, there may be insufficient space in the backbox to accommodate the field wires 
and stresses from the wires could damage the product. 

 

Although the limits shown for each mounting option comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC), Wheelock recommends use of 
the largest backbox option shown and the use of approved stranded field wires, whenever possible, to provide additional wiring room 
for easy installation and minimum stress on the product from wiring.
