To prevent fire, shock and component damage,
NO work, including circuit board removal, should be
performed while the circuit is energized.
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.
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. Wire in accordance with the instructions in “Wiring.”
3. Refer to Figure 14 and Table 6 and select desired
tones. Set miniature programming switches on the input
board.
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
located on the main board (Figure 14).
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-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.
5. Tightly secure the signal box cover using (4) retained
cover screws.
