NOTE: Any kind of service or maintenance performed
while unit is energized will void the warranty.
1. Mount Adaptatone as shown in Figure 2.
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.
Description
Edwards Adaptatone is a heavy-duty, tone-selectable, stand
alone, indoor/outdoor audible signaling device intended for
industrial applications where high audible output and
microcomputer reliability are required. Additionally, the
Adaptatone Millennium series are UL and cUL Listed as
Audible Signal Appliances for use in the following hazardous
locations.
The Adaptatone operates from local power and sounds a
high decibel signal determined by the setting of miniature
programming switches inside the unit. The Adaptatone may
be programmed for any of the 55 tones listed in Table 6.
2. Wire in accordance with the instructions in “Wiring.”
3. Refer to Figure 14 and Table 6 and select desired
WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE is present when product is
energized. High volume may cause harm to personnel in
close proximity.
4. Adjust volume level, if desired, by turning potentiometer

tones. Set miniature programming switches on the input
board.
located on the main board (Figure 14).
Speaker direction and the output level are easily adjustable.
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.
For catalog numbers ending in "AQ", 24 VAC power must be
transformer isolated from mains or line power.
WARNING: To prevent fire, shock and component damage,
NO work, including circuit board removal, should be
performed while the circuit is energized.
WARNINGS: To ensure integrity of the enclosure: Ensure
the cover gasket, part number P-007549-0069, is adhered
into groove at cover perimeter before replacing the signal
box cover.
Ensure that the (4) collar gaskets, part number P-0419300362, are in place on each cover screw before securing the
signal box cover.
When securing cover, start screws by hand, making sure
they are threaded into tapped holes in housing bosses
before securing with a screwdriver. Torque signal box cover
screws to a minimum of 20 in-lbs. This ensures the required
tight fit.
5. Tightly secure the signal box cover using (4) retained
cover screws.
Page 2
6. Torque signal box cover screws to a minimum of 20 inlbs.
WARNING: To ensure 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.
7. To adjust speaker direction, loosen large star nut
(Figure 1) and turn speaker to the approximate desired
position.
8. Regardless of speaker direction adjustment, it is
important that the star nut be tightened wrench tight to
ensure the speaker position is maintained securely.
9. Verify operability.
Wiring
1. 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 tiewrap, on the barrier to the electronics, to separate
incoming power leads from signal and tone initiating
leads, per NEC (Figure 4).
The Adaptatone should be tested annually or as required by
the authority having jurisdiction to ensure continuous
service.
Figure 1: Adaptatone mounting
WARNING: To prevent fire and shock, wire the Adaptatone
only as described in this installation instruction.
2. Wire as follows referring to Figure 4.
a. Connect green and yellow-striped earth-ground
wires to earth-ground.
b. Select the appropriate method for wiring to the input
board from Figure 5 through Figure 13.
c. 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 and white for
-Y6 models.
d. 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 2 and
Figure 3 and marked on the diode assembly.
NOTE: Terminal Block TB1 can be unplugged from the
main board to complete wiring as shown in Figure 2.
Maintenance and testing
WARNING: To prevent fire, shock and component damage,
NO work including circuit board removal, should be
performed while the circuit is energized.
Figure 2: Terminal block TB1
Figure 3: Wiring to terminal block TB1 input circuit
NOTE: Any kind of service or maintenance performed
while unit is energized will void the warranty.
Examine the unit semi-annually for accumulation of dirt.
Clean if necessary.
