WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TOTAL RMS CURRENT, TOTAL AVERAGE CURRENT AND TOTAL PEAK CURRENT REQUIRED BY
ALL APPLIANCES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM’S PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POWER SOURCES DO NOT EXCEED THE
POWER SOURCES’ RATED CAPACITY OR THE CURRENT RATINGS OF ANY FUSES ON THE CIRCUITS TO WHICH THESE APPLIANCES
ARE WIRED. OVERLOADING POWER SOURCES OR EXCEEDING FUSE RATINGS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER AND FAILURE TO
ALERT OCCUPANTS DURING AN EMERGENCY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
When calculating the total currents: Use Table 1 to determine the highest value of “RMS Current” for an individual AH Appliance (across the
expected operating voltage range of the AH Appliance) or use Table 1A to determine the highest value of “Rated Average Current” of an individual
AH Appliance (across the expected voltage range of the AH Appliance), then multiply these values by the total number of AH Appliances; be sure to
add the currents for any other appliances, powered by the same source and include any required safety factors.
Audible Horn appliances are not designed to be used on coded systems in which the applied voltage is cycled on and off.
WARNING: THE AUDIBLE HORN APPLIANCES MUST BE FIELD SET TO THE DESIRED TONE AND dBA SOUND OUTPUT LEVEL
BEFORE THEY ARE INSTALLED. THIS IS DONE BY PROPERLY INSERTING A JUMPER PLUG IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.

(Use needle nose pliers to pull and properly set the jumper plugs)
No jumper plug is needed for continuous horn setting.
However, it is recommended that the jumper plug be retained
in the unit for future use (if needed) as shown in Figure 3.
Note:
The AH must be set for code 3 (or March Time) when used with the sync module.
* Continuous horn operation without sync module.

Figure 5:
1. AH Appliances have in-out wiring terminals
that accepts two #12 to 18 American Wire
Gauge (AWG) wires at each screw terminal.
Strip leads 3/8” inches for connection to
screw terminals.
2. Break all in-out wire runs on supervised
circuit to assure supervision as shown in
Figure 5. The polarity shown in the wiring
diagrams are for the operation of the
appliances. The polarity is reversed by the
FACP during supervision.
