HIGH dBA:
Set SW1 POS 1 on 1 (Factory Setting )
STD dBA:
Set SW1 POS 1 on 0
WARNING: DOUBLE CHECK THE SWITCH (SW1) SETTINGS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE CORRECT. IMPROPER SETTINGS
CAN DAMAGE THE UNIT OR RESULT IN NO SOUND OUTPUT OR A dBA SOUND OUTPUT LEVEL THAT IS BELOW THE
MINIMUM CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC MODE FIRE PROTECTION. THIS COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE
AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
STEP 2:
Set desired alarm tone as follows (refer to Figure 1 and Table 5).
Multitone Strobe Appliances are field set for any one of eight alarm tones by setting a four-position switch (SW1) as shown in Figure 1 and Table 5. Use

Figure 2:
1. Multitone Strobe models have in-out wiring terminals that accept two #12 to #18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at
each screw terminal. Strip leads 3/8 inches and connect to screw terminals.
2. Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuits to assure integrity of circuit supervision as shown in Figure 2. The
polarity shown in the wiring diagrams is for operation of the appliances. The polarity is reversed by the FACP during
supervision.
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 if the audible and strobe are wired to operate
independently. All other tones are recommended for use only on continuous (non-coded)
