5532MD Series Adaptatone Speaker-

Amplifier Installation Sheet

 

 

Description 

The 5532MD Series Adaptatone Speaker-Amplifier is a UL and cUL 

Listed audible signal appliance that is designed to accept system audio 

input levels of 10 VRMS (5532MD

-

10AW) or 70 VRMS 

(5532MD

-70AW), making it possible to interface to public address 

systems where area-wide system audio is required. The units are also 

diode polarized for use in fire alarm applications. 
Additionally, the 5532MD Series units are UL and cUL listed for use in 

the hazardous locations shown in Table 1. 
The speaker-amplifier is a heavy-duty, stand-alone signaling device 

that operates from local power and sounds a tone programmed at the 

tone generator. The speaker direction and output level are easily 

adjustable. 
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, 

C, and D; Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G; and Class III 

hazardous locations or nonhazardous locations. 

Installation 

Install and wire this device in accordance with applicable national and 

local codes, ordinances, and regulations. 
When the signal is used in a fire protective signaling system, you must 

install it in accordance with these instructions, and with the applicable 

requirements of NFPA 70 and 72 in the US or CAN/ULC-S524 and 

CSA C22.1 in Canada. 
When the device is used in general signaling applications, you must 

install it in accordance with these instructions, and with the applicable 

requirements of NFPA 70 in the US or CSA C22.1 in Canada. 
When the device is used in Division 2 applications, you must install it in 

accordance with the NFPA 70 Article 501-4b. 
The Adaptatone can be mounted on any flat surface or can be used as 

a freestanding unit mounted on a rigid pipe. The Adaptatone must be 

installed by a trained and qualified electrician. 

WARNINGS 

  Explosion hazard. Do not disconnect equipment unless power has 

been removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous. 

  Explosion hazard. Substitution of any components may impair 

suitability for Class I, Division 2. 

  To ensure the integrity of the Adaptatone assembly when adjusting 

the speaker direction, make sure threads in the enclosure remain 

fully engaged and do not turn speaker more than 360 degrees 

from the original factory installed position. 

  To prevent fire, shock and component damage, 

no work

, including 

circuit board removal, should be performed while the circuit is 

energized. 

  High voltage is present when product is energized. 

  High volume may cause harm to personnel in close proximity. 

  To ensure the integrity of the enclosure: Make sure that the cover 

gasket, P/N P-007549-

0069, is adhered into 

the groove at the 

cover perimeter before replacing the signal box cover. 

  Ensure that the four collar gaskets, P/N P-041930-

0362, are in 

place on each cover screw before securing the signal box cover. 

  When securing the cover, start the screws by hand, making sure 

that they are threaded into the tapped holes in the housing bosses 

before securing them with a screwdriver. Torque the signal box 

cover screws to a minimum of 20 in-lbs. This ensures the required 

tight fit. 

Caution: 

During installation, care must be taken so that components 

on the printed circuit board are not damaged. 

Notes 

  Any kind of service or maintenance performed while unit is 

energized will void the warranty. 

  The increased resistance due to long wire runs needs to be 

accounted for in sizing wire. Consult Applications Engineering for 

details. 

To install the Adaptatone: 

1.  Mount Adaptatone as shown in Figure 1. 

Flat Surface mounting:

 Secure the unit to the mounting surface 

using the four mounting holes in the mounting plate on the rear of 

the box. Use the #10 x 3 

wood screws (furnished loose) or other 

hardware (not supplied) suitable for the mounting surface.

 

Rigid Pipe mounting:

 Loosen the four cover screws from the 

signal box and lift off the signal box cover. 

Note: 

The cover screws are captive. Do not remove them from the 

cover. 

Remove 

the center knockout in lower wall of the box and mount 

the box on a 1/2 in. conduit pipe using a suitable connector. 

2.  Wire in accordance with the instructions in “Wiring” on page 2. 
3.  Adjust the volume level, if desired, by turning the potentiometer 

located on the main bo

ard (

Figure 

6

). 

4.  Tightly secure the signal box cover using the four retained cover 

screws. 

5.  Torque the signal box cover screws to a minimum of 20 in-lbs. 

6

.  To adjust the speaker direction, the 

loosen large star nut (

Figure 1) 

and turn the speaker to the approximate desired position 

Regardless of 

the speaker direction adjustment, it is important that 

the star nut be tightened wrench-tight to ensure the speaker 

position is maintained securely. 

7. 

Verify operability.
