Installation Instructions for Remote Amplifiers

Description and Operation

Edwards remote amplifiers are designed to accept tones, voice,
or music inputs from 5541 System control units or tones from
5540 Series Tone Generators. The amplifiers convert the input
signals to 70V line output (up to 15 watts) to sound on speakers
in remote locations. The remote amplifiers are UL listed and
CSA certified as audible signal appliances for general signaling
(non-fire alarm) use.

Installation

Installation should be completed in accordance with applicable
local codes and the latest edition of either NFPA 70, National
Electrical Code, or CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code.

Each 5535 Series Remote Amplifier may be mounted to any flat
surface or may be used as a freestanding unit mounted to a rigid
pipe.

NOTE: During installation, take care not to damage the

components on the printed circuit board.

1. Mount Adaptatone (Figure 2).

Figure 1. Dimensions

a. Remove (4) cover screws from the signal box and lift of f

cover.

b. Flat Surface Mounting. Secure unit to mounting surf ace

at the (2) mounting holes in rear of box with furnished
O-rings and #10 X 1 1/2" (38 mm) screws (supplied).
For mounting to dry wall or concrete surfaces, use
furnished O-rings and suitable hardware (not supplied).

c. Rigid Pipe Mounting. Seal the (2) mounting holes in

rear of box with (2) furnished O-rings and #12 X 3/8"
(9.5 mm) long screws.

Remove the center knockout in lower wall of box and
mount box to a 1/2" (12.7 mm) conduit pipe using
suitable connector (not supplied).

2. Install wires through a knockout hole in the bottom of the

box when the signal is mounted to a flat surface, or through
the pipe when the signal is freestanding. In areas of high
electrical noise, use shielded audio cable.

3. Wire Adaptatone as follows:

a. Connecting 5535 Amplif ier(s) to 5541 System Control

Units (Figure 3).
Connect the wires from the 5541 System Control unit

TB2-Audio Out, L and H terminals to the 5535 Remote
Amplifier TB2-L and H terminals. Observe polarity . For
other system connections, see instructions P-047550­0858 shipped with the 5541 System Control Units.

b. Connecting 5535 Amplifier(s) to 5541B System

Control Units (Figure 3).
Connect the wires from the 5541B System Control unit

TB2 Area 1 Audio Out terminals to the 5535 Remote
Amplifier TB2-L and H terminals. Observe polarity . For
other system connections, see instructions P-047550­1558 shipped with the 5541B System Control Units.

c. Connecting 5535 Remote Amplifier(s) to a Series 5540

or 5540A Central Tone Generator (Figure 4).
Connect the wires from the Central T one Generator TB2-

HI and LO terminals to the 5535 Remote Amplif ier TB2­H and L terminals. Observe polarity. For other system
connections, see instructions P-047550-0179 shipped
with 5540 Series Central Tone Generators or P-047550­0228 shipped with 5540A Series Central Tone
Generators.

d. Connecting 5535 Remote Amplifier(s) to a Series

5540B Central Tone Generator (Figure 4).
Connect the wires from the Central Tone Generator TS1-

9 and 10 Tone Out terminals to the 5535 Remote
Amplifier TB2-H and L terminals. Observe polarity . For
other system connections, see instructions P-047550­1550 shipped with 5540B Series Central T one Gener ators.

e. Speaker Connections (Figure 3 or 4). The Remote

Amplifier provides up to 15 watts audio power to 70V
line speakers. For best service use the Edwards 5547
and/or 5551B Series Speakers.

g. Standby Power (Optional) (Figure 3).

A 2.5 to 3 ampere hour 24V DC battery is recommended
for standby power . This type of battery provides 24 hours
of standby service.

Connect standby power to 5535 TB1-B(+) and
TB1-B(-) terminals. Observe polarity.

4. Adjust volume level, if desired, by turning potentiometer

(Figure 3 or 4).

5. Replace the signal box cover.

6. Verify operability as follows.

a. Initiate a signal and verify that is sounds on all the

speakers connected to the Remote Amplifier. Reset
initiating device.

b. If standby power is used, verify that it will function

properly. Remove the 120V AC or 240V AC power,
initiate a signal and verify that is sounds on all speakers
that are connected to a Remote Amplifier. Reset the
initiating device and r estore 120V A C or 240V A C power .

Maintenance and Test

WARNING

To prevent electrical shock, ensure that power is
disconnected before cleaning inside of unit.

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

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

Connect the speakers to the two yellow wires coming
from the transformer that is mounted on the Remote
Amplifier's printed circuit board.

f. Power Supply Connections (Figure 3 or 4).

WARNING

To prevent electrical shock, do not apply power
until

all

system wiring is completed and all covers

are secured.

Connect the AC power source wires to the two black
pigtailed wires coming from the transformer on the inside
cover of the remote amplifier.
