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.

NOTE: The increased resistance due to long wire runs

needs to be accounted for in sizing wire.
Consult Applications Engineering for details.

CAUTION

During installation, care must be taken so that components
on the printed circuit board are not damaged.

1. Mount Adaptatone as shown in Figure 3.

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.

Remove the center knockout in lower wall of box
and mount box to a 1/2" (12.7 mm) conduit pipe
using suitable connector.

2. 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
tie-wrap, on the barrier to the electronics, to separate
incoming power leads from signal and tone initiating
leads, per NEC (Figure 4).

WARNING

To prevent fire and shock, wire the Adaptatone only as
described in this installation instruction.

WARNING

Ensure that the (4) collar gaskets, part number P-041930­0362, are in place on each cover screw before securing the
signal box cover.

3. Wire as follows referring to Figure 4:

a. Connect green and yellow striped earth-ground

wires to earth-ground.

b. See Figures 6 and 7. Connect audio in (+) to the

AUD (+) terminal on the Speaker/Amplifier Audio
Coupler Board. Connect audio in (-) to the AUD
(-) terminal on the Speaker/Amplifier Audio
Coupler Board. Use shielded cable and connect
braid or drain to earth-ground wire on unit.

c. Connect wires leading to next signal or end-of-

line resistor to TB1 terminals 1 and 2 on the main
board as shown in Figure 5. Polarity must be
observed.

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 5 and
marked on the diode assembly.

NOTE: Terminal Block TB1 can be unplugged from the

main board to complete wiring as shown in
Figure 5.

WARNINGS

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 located on the main board (Figure 7).

WARNING

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.

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.

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

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 3) 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.

Maintenance and Test

WARNING

Ensure that power is disconnected before cleaning inside of
unit.

Examine the unit semi-annually for accumulation of dirt.
Clean if necessary.

The Adaptatone should be tested annually or as required
by the authority having jurisdiction to ensure continuous
service.
