STEP 1:
The 115VAC Multitone Strobe signals cannot be field set for input voltage.
Set desired dBA sound output level as follows (refer to Figure 2 and Table 4).

STEP 2:
Set desired alarm tone as follows (refer to Figure 2 and Table 5).
115VAC Multitone Signals are field set for any one of eight alarm tones by setting a four-position switch (SW1) as shown in Figure 2
and Table 5. Use SW1 POS 2, 3, 4 to select the desired alarm tone (refer to Table below).

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. All other tones are recommended
for use only on continuous (non-coded) systems.
