CAUTION
During installation, care must be taken so that components
on the printed circuit board are not damaged.
1. Mount Adaptatone as shown in Figure 3.
a.
Flat Surface Mounting
. Secure unit to
mounting surface using the (4) mounting holes in
the mounting plate on the rear of the box. Use
the #10 x 3" (76 mm) wood screws (furnished loose)
or other hardware (not supplied) suitable for the
mounting surface.
b.
Rigid Pipe Mounting
. Loosen the (4) cover screws
from the signal box and lift off signal box cover.
NOTE:
Cover screws are captive. Do not remove from
cover.
Remove the center knockout in lower wall of box
and mount box to a 1/2" (12.7 mm) conduit pipe
using suitable connector.
2. Install wires through a knockout hole in the bottom
of the box from a raceway that is, with its connections
to the 1/2" (12.7 mm) conduit knockout hole, approved
for the same degree of protection and enclosure type
needed by the application. Use the provided plastic
tie-wrap, on the barrier to the electronics, to separate
incoming power leads from signal and tone initiating
leads, per NEC (Figures 4, 5 and 6).
Installation
The Adaptatone may be mounted to any flat surface or
may be used as a freestanding unit mounted to a rigid
pipe. The Adaptatone must be installed in accordance
with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code or
other regulations applicable to the country and locality
of installation and by a trained and qualified electrician.
NOTE:
The increased resistance due to long wire runs
needs to be accounted for in sizing wire.
Consult Applications Engineering for details.
For catalog numbers ending in "AQ," 24V AC power must
be transformer isolated from mains or line power.

WARNING
To prevent fire and shock, wire the Adaptatone only as
described in this installation instruction.
3. Wire as follows referring to Figures 4, 5, and 6 (These
instructions apply to both tone generator and 5532M
series speaker/amplifier, except as noted):
If Edwards Signal Actuator catalog number 5538-4 is
used to manually initiate tones, connect its four
normally-open switches to the Tone Generator as
shown on instructions provided with the Signal
Actuator unit.
a. Connect green and yellow striped earth-ground
wires to earth-ground and, additionally, on tone
generator, to braid or drain of audio cable in step
b.
b. See Figures 7, 12, 13, 14 and 15. Connect audio
output (+) from the main board of the tone
generator to the AUD (+) terminal on the Speaker/
Amplifier Audio Coupler Board. Connect audio
output (-) from the main board of the tone
generator to the AUD (-) terminal on the Speaker/
Amplifier Audio Coupler Board. Use shielded cable
and connect braid or drain to earth-ground wire
lead of 5540 Tone Generator. Up to 2500 Speaker/
Amplifiers can be so connected in parallel to a
single tone generator.
c. For the tone generator, select the appropriate
method of wiring to the input board from Figures
8, 9, 10, 11, 16 or 17. Connect the tone generator
as shown.
d. Connect incoming power to wire leads using a
butt splice or other method listed, certified, or
otherwise approved by local authorities. Leads
are both black for -AQ and -N5 models and are
black for line and white for neutral for -Y6 models.
e. Optional. Connect external 24V DC battery (not
supplied) in series with separate diode assembly
part 2600010 (supplied) to TB1 terminals 3 and 4
on the main board as shown in Figure 7 and
marked on the diode assembly.
NOTE:
Terminal Block TB1 can be unplugged from the
main board to complete wiring as shown in
Figure 7.
4. Wire to the 5532B series speaker/amplifier as follows
and referring to Figures 5, 6, 7 and 18:
If Edwards Signal Actuator catalog number 5538-4 is
used to manually initiate tones, connect its four
normally-open switches to the Tone Generator as
shown on instructions provided with the Signal
Actuator unit.
a. Connect green earth-ground wire of speaker/
amplifier and green and yellow striped earth-
ground wires on tone generator to earth-ground.
b. Connect audio output (+) from the main board of
the tone generator to the Tone In terminal 9 (+) in
the Speaker/Amplifier. Connect audio output (-)
from the main board of the tone generator to the
Tone In Termal 10 (-) in the Speaker/Amplifier. Up
to 2500 Speaker/Amplifiers can be so connected
in parallel to a single tone generator.
