Notifier MT User Manual

GENERAL
Wheelock’s Series MT and MT Strobe Multitone electronic appliances offer a choice of eight (8) nationally and in­ternationally recognized alerting sounds: Horn, Bell, March Time Horn, Code-3 Tone, Code-3 Horn, Slow Whoop, Si­ren or Hi/Lo Tone. The Code-3 Horn and tone patterns are engineered to comply with NFPA/ANSI Temporal Pat­tern specifications without requiring additional equipment. With MT and MT Strobe appliances, one alarm appliance meets most of your signaling needs. Strobe models can be synchronized using the Wheelock SM, DSM Sync Mod­ules or a power supply equipped with Wheelock’s pat­ented Sync Protocol.
The MT Strobes are designed for ADA applications with maximum performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness while meeting or exceeding the latest requirements of NFPA 72, ANSI 117.1, UFC and UL Standard 1971 as well as meeting ADA requirements concerning photosensitive epilepsy.
Each MT and MT Strobe appliance has two installer selec­tive sound output levels: STANDARD dBA and HIGH dBA. Non-strobe versions provide selectable voltage capability in one unit, 12VDC or 24VDC. Strobe versions are specific for either 12VDC or 24VDC and all models may be used with filtered or unfiltered (full-wave-rectified) input voltages. Separate input terminals are available, shunt wires are provided to enable both tone and strobe to operate simul­taneously from a single input.
The Series MT Multitone Strobe appliances are UL Listed for indoor wall mount applications under Standard 1971 for Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired and under Standard 464 for Audible Signaling Appliances.

Note: If the strobe and audible operate on the same circuit, add the strobe current from Table 2 to the audible current from Table 1. For Peak and Inrush current across the listed voltage range refer to Installation Instructions.
*Average RMS Current is per UL average RMS method and Average Mean Current is per UL average mean method. For rated In Rush and Peak current across the UL listed voltage range for both filtered DC and unfiltered VRMS (FWR), see installation instructions.
NOTES on dBA/CURRENT RATINGS TABLES ABOVE: 1) Anechoic dBA is measured on axis in a non-reflective (free field) test room using fast meter response. For peak dBA (measured with peak meter response), add 5 dBA to typical anechoic values shown in tables above. 2) Reverberant dBA is a minimum UL rating based on sound power measurements in a reverberant test room.
*
This setting is acceptable only for general signaling (non-fire alarm) use. Use the “high” dBA setting
with this tone or use a different tone for public mode fire alarm service.

ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS SPECIFICATIONS
The notification appliance shall be a Wheelock Series MT audible/visual appliance or equivalent. Notification appliance shall be electronic and use solid state components. Electromechanical alternatives are not approved. Each electronic appliance shall provide eight (8) field selectable alarm tones. The tones shall consist of: HORN, BELL, MARCH TIME HORN, CODE-3 HORN, CODE-3 TONE, SLOW WHOOP, SIREN and HI/LO. Tone selection shall be by durable dip switch assembly and not clips or jumpers. The Multitone Audible appliance shall be UL Listed under Standard 464 for Audible Signal Appliances. The audible and the strobe shall be able to operate from a single NAC circuit while producing any of these tones. The appliance shall provide two output sound levels: STANDARD and HIGH dBA. The HIGH dBA setting shall provide a minimum 5 dBA increase in sound output at nominal voltage. The HIGH anechoic dBA measurement at 10 feet at the alarm HORN SETTING shall be 101 dBA minimum for MT and 92 dBA minimum for MT Strobes, at nominal voltage. Operating voltages shall be either 12 VDC or 24 VDC using filtered power or unfiltered power supply (full-wave-rectified). All models shall have provisions for standard reverse polarity type supervision and IN/OUT field wiring using terminals that accept #12 to #18 AWG wiring.
Combination audible/visual appliances shall incorporate a Xenon flashtube enclosed in a rugged Lexan® lens or equivalent with solid state circuitry. Strobe shall produce a flash rate of one (1) flash per second minimum over the voltage range. The strobe intensity shall be rated per UL and Listed under Standard 1971 for Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired for 1575 or 75 candela. The 1575 candela strobe shall be specified when 15 candela or with 75 candela intensity on-axis is required. Strobe Models shall incorporate circuitry for synchronized strobe flash and shall be designed for compatibility with Wheelock SM and/or DSM Sync Modules or a Power Supply with Wheelock’s Sync Protocol. The strobes shall not drift out of synchronization at any time during operation. If the module fails to operate (i.e., contacts remain closed), the strobes shall revert to a non-synchronized default flash rate. Strobe activation shall be via independent input or from the same input circuit as the audible.
The combination audible/visual appliances shall be installed indoors and may be surface or flush mounted. They shall mount to standard electrical hardware requiring no additional trimplate or adapter. The aesthetic appearance shall not have any mounting holes or screw heads visible when the installation is completed. The appliance shall be finished in a textured red color.
The Series MT-12/24 audible appliance may be installed indoor or outdoor with the proper back box.
For Weatherproof applications where specifications require 75 cd @ -31°F (-35°C) and full temperature range of -31°F to 150°F refer to Data Sheet S9004 and/or Installation Instructions P84150.
