STEP 1:
Set desired dBA sound output level as follows (Refer to Figures 2 and 3):
Multitone Strobe Appliances cannot be field set for input voltage. Multitone Strobe Appliances are field set for dBA sound output
level by inserting a Jumper Plug (DP1) and adjusting a four position Switch (SW1) as shown in Table 7 and Figures 2 and 3. Use
DP1 and SW1 Position 1 to select the desired dBA sound output level.
Table 7: dBA Sound Output Level Settings
12VDC/HIGH dBA: Set DP1 on 12; set SW1 POS 1 on 1 (Factory Setting for 12VDC Models)
12VDC/STD dBA: Set DP1 on 24; set SW1 POS 1 on 1
24VDC/HIGH dBA: Set SW1 POS 1 on 1 (Factory Setting for 24VDC Models)
24VDC/STD dBA: Set SW1 POS 1 on 0

WARNING: DO NOT APPLY 24VDC INPUT IF THE JUMPER PLUG (DP1) IS SET ON 12. THIS CAN DAMAGE
THE UNIT. DOUBLE CHECK THE JUMPER PLUG (DP1) AND SWITCH (SW1) SETTINGS TO MAKE SURE THEY
ARE CORRECT. IMPROPER SETTINGS CAN RESULT IN A dBA SOUND OUTPUT LEVEL THAT IS BELOW THE 75
dBA MINIMUM CODE REQUIREMENT FOR PUBLIC MODE FIRE PROTECTION.
STEP 2:
Set desired alarm tone as follows (refer to Figure 3 and Table 8).
Multitone Strobe Appliances are field set for any one of eight alarm tones by setting a four-position switch (SW1) as shown in Figure
3 and Table 8. Use SW1 POS 2, 3, 4 to select the desired alarm tone.

NOTE: The Code 3 Horn and Code 3 Tone (set on HIGH dBA) incorporate the temporal pattern specified by ANSI/NFPA for
standard emergency evacuation signaling. They should be used only for fire evacuation signaling and not for any other purpose.
The Horn and Bell Tones can be used on coded systems with a minimum On-Time of 1/4 second if the audible and strobe are wired to
operate independently. All other tones are recommended for use only on continuous (non-coded) systems.
1) Multitone Strobe models have in-out wiring
terminals that accept two #12 to #18 American
Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at each screw
terminal. Strip leads 3/8 inches and connect to
screw terminals.
2) Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuits
to assure integrity of circuit supervision as
shown on right. The polarity shown in the
wiring diagrams is for operation of the
appliances. The polarity is reversed by the
FACP during supervision.
