INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MULTITONE APPLIANCES
MT-12/24, MT4-12/24
Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction
manual for future reference.
GENERAL:
Multitone Appliances are UL Listed for Fire Protective Service and for General Signaling Service. They are listed for both indoor
and outdoor use with the backboxes specified in these instructions. (See Mounting Options A,B,C,D,E,F,G for MT models and H for
MT4 models). Multitone Appliances can be field set to produce any one of eight commonly used alarm tones. Sound output can be
field set to provide either HIGH (HI) dBA or STANDARD (STD) dBA sound output level. Multitone Appliances can be field set for
either 12VDC or 24VDC operation and are designed for use with either filtered or unfiltered (full-wave-rectified) input voltage. All
inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a Fire Alarm Panel.
NOTE:
All
CAUTIONS
and
WARNINGS
are identified by the symbol
.
All warnings are printed in bold capital letters.
WARNING: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. THE
MULTITONE APPLIANCE MUST BE FIELD SET TO THE DESIRED INPUT VOLTAGE, dBA SOUND OUTPUT
LEVEL AND ALARM TONE BEFORE THEY ARE INSTALLED. THIS IS DONE BY PROPERLY INSERTING A
JUMPER PLUG AND ADJUSTING A FOUR POSITION SWITCH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
INCORRECT SETTINGS WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER PERFORMANCE AND MAY DAMAGE THE PRODUCT,
AND COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

Add 25% more input current when operating the unit at maximum input voltage (15.6VDC for 12VDC models, 31VDC for 24VDC
models).
Anechoic dBA is measured on axis in a non-reflective (free field) test room using fast meter response. For peak dBA (measured with
peak meter response), add 5 dBA to typical anechoic values shown in Table 1. Reverberant dBA is a minimum UL rating based on
sound power measurements in a reverberant test room.
