Edwards Signaling Adaptatone 5532M, Adaptatone 5540M Installation Sheet

Adaptatone 5540M Tone Generator
and 5532M Speaker/Amplifier
Installation Sheet

Description

The Adaptatone 5540M Tone Generator and 5532M Speaker/Amplifier
series is intended for industrial applications where high audible output
and microcomputer reliability are required. The Adaptatone Millennium
series are UL and cUL Listed as audible signal appliances for use in
the hazardous locations listed in Table 1.

The 5532M-Y6 is additionally UL Listed in a speaker and amplifier
category, when powered with 120/240 VAC 50/60 Hz, for use in
conjunction with the 5541M-Y6 Millennium System Master either for
emergency/evacuation, non-fire, or for supplementary fire alarm
control panel accessory applications. See the installation and
operation instructions for the 5541M-Y6 (P/N 3100471).

This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B,
C, and D; Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G; Class III hazardous
locations or nonhazardous locations.

The Tone Generator operates from local power. It accommodates up
to four normally-open contacts on its inputs. The tone that sounds in
response to an active input is determined by setting miniature
programming switches inside the unit. Table 6 has switch settings for
setting tones.

Four tones may be programmed into the Tone Generator at any time.
These tones operate on a pyramid-type priority system. The tone
programmed on SW1 overrides the tones programmed on SW2, SW3,
and SW4. The tone on SW2 overrides the tones programmed on SW3
and SW4. Likewise, the tone on SW3 overrides the tone programmed
on SW4. The tone programmed on SW4 has the lowest priority and
cannot override any other programmed tone.

The Speaker/Amplifier is a heavy-duty, stand-alone signaling device
that operates from local power and sounds a tone programmed at the
Tone Generator. Speaker direction and output level are easily
adjustable. Up to 2,500 Speaker/Amplifiers can be connected in
parallel to the tone output of a single Tone Generator.

Installation

The Adaptatone can be mounted on any flat surface or can be used as
a freestanding unit mounted on a rigid pipe. The Adaptatone must be
installed in accordance with the latest edition of the National Electrical
Code (NEC) 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.

For Model numbers ending in AQ, 24 VAC power must be transformer
isolated from mains or line power.

WARNINGS

• Explosion hazard. Do not disconnect equipment unless power has
been removed or the area is known to be nonhazardous.

• Explosion hazard. Substitution of any components may impair
suitability for Class I, Division 2.

• To ensure the 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.

• To prevent fire, shock and component damage, no work, including
circuit board removal, should be performed while the circuit is
energized.

• High voltage is present when product is energized.

• High volume may cause harm to personnel in close proximity.

• To ensure the integrity of the enclosure: Ensure the cover gasket,
P/N P-007549-0069, is adhered into groove at cover perimeter
before replacing the signal box cover.

• Ensure that the four collar gaskets, P/N P-041930-0362, 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.
