www.wheelockinc.com
GENERAL:
The AMT Multitone Strobe Appliance is UL Listed under Standard 1971 for Emergency Appliances for the Hearing Impaired and UL Standard 464 for Audible
Appliances. The AMT is also ULC Listed under Standard CAN/ULC-S526-02 for Visual Signaling and under Standard CAN/ULC-S525-99 for Audible Signal
Devices for Fire Alarm Systems. The AMT Strobes can provide a non-synchronized strobe appliance when connected directly to a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP),
or provide a synchronized strobe appliance when used in conjunction with a Sync Module (SM), Dual Sync Module (DSM) or Wheelock power supplies. They are
listed for wall mount only,
candela under UL Standard 1971 and meet 75 candela intensity on axis with low current draw. The 24MCW model strobe can provide 4 selectable candela settings (15,
30, 75, 110). The AMT Multitone Strobe Appliances use a xenon flashtube with solid state circuitry enclosed in a polycarbonate lens to provide maximum visibility
and reliability for effective visible signaling.
Wheelock's AMT Appliances are unique multitone alarm signals with separate input terminals for each sound. They are the ideal choice for suppression systems and
emergency signaling systems where distinctive multiple alarm conditions are required. Eight groups of three self-prioritized sound outputs are provided with separate
electrically isolated input terminals for each sound (see Table 2 and Table 8 for sound selections). Sound output can be field set to provide either HIGH (HI) dBA or
STANDARD (STD) dBA sound output level.
All AMT Multitone Strobe models are designed for use with either filtered or unfiltered Full-Wave-Rectified (FWR) input voltage. The AMT Multitone Strobe
Appliances have separate input terminals for alarm tone activation and strobe activation. The strobes can be easily field programmed to operate independently or in
unison with all of the audible alarms. All inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse polarity supervision of circuit wiring by a fire alarm control panel
(FACP).
NOTE: All Canadian Installations should be in accordance with the Canadian Standard for the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems - CAN/ULC-S524-01 and Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1. Final acceptance is subject to Authorities Having Jurisdiction.

MOUNTING OPTIONS:
CAUTION: The following figures show the maximum number of field wires (conductors) that can enter the backbox used with each mounting option. If these
limits are exceeded, there may be insufficient space in the backbox to accommodate the field wires and stresses from the wires could damage the product.
Although the limits shown for each mounting option comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC), Wheelock recommends use of the largest backbox option shown
and the use of approved stranded field wires, whenever possible, to provide additional wiring room for easy installation and minimum stress on the product from wiring.

MOUNTING NOTES:
CAUTION: Check that the installed product will have sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and conduit, especially if sheathed
multiconductor cable or 3/4" conduit fittings are used.
1. AMT Multitone Strobe models can be flush mounted to a standard 4 inch square by 2-1/8 inch deep electrical box (Figure A) or a standard 2-gang by 3-1/2" inch
minimum deep electrical box (Figure B).
2. All models can also be surface mounted to Wheelock's model IOB backbox (Figure C or D) or to a 4" square backbox (model DBB or BB) with Wheelock's model
ISP extender (Figure F and G).
3. AMT Multitone Strobe models can also be retrofitted to an existing FSB backbox to replace Wheelock's model 7001 Strobe Horn when used with Wheelock
adaptor plate model RP (Figure E).
4. All models are supplied with four snap-in covers to hide the mounting holes and provide an attractive installation. The snap-in covers are interchangeable and have
slots on each end so they can be removed if necessary (by prying them up with a thin blade screwdriver). To insert snap-in cover, slide the outside edge of the
cover (furthest edge from the strobe lens) partially into the mounting hole recess; then align the cover so it is parallel to the grille (not tilted) and snap cover into
place.
5. The IOB surface backbox has 1/2 inch conduit knockouts on two sides. It has a variety of knockouts on the back for mounting it to recessed electrical boxes and
for wire entrances (Figure D). It can also be mounted to a surface with the two mounting ears that are supplied. The ears slide into slots on the back of the box
(Figure C). Use appropriate anchors for the wood screws that are supplied with the box (if necessary).
6. The IOB includes a prefastened gasket and four hole plugs. Make sure the condensation drain holes on the box face down and that the box is vertical to permit
drainage of any moisture. Use the mounting ears to secure the box (do not use the back knockouts). Use the hole plugs to seal the unused mounting holes on the
AMT Multitone grille (press them in securely from the back side of the grille). Mount the unit to the IOB with the four #8-18 screws supplied with the box.
7. Mounting hardware for each mounting option is supplied.
8. Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product. When extension rings are required, conduit
should enter through the backbox, not the extension ring. Use Steel City #53151 (1-1/2" deep) or #53171 (2-1/8" deep) extension rings (as noted in the mounting
options) or equal with the same cut-out area.
9. When terminating field wires, do not use more lead length than required. Excess lead length could result in insufficient wiring space for the signaling device.
10. Use care and proper techniques to position the field wires in the backbox so that they use minimum space and produce minimum stress on the product. This is
especially important for stiff, heavy gauge wires and wires with thick insulation or sheathing.
11. Do not pass additional wires (used for other than the signaling device) through the backbox. Such additional wires could result in insufficient wiring space for the
signaling device.
