Installation
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of shock, always disconnect all
power before handling the unit.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of shock, do not tamper with
this device when the signal circuit is energized. Disconnect all
power and wait 5 minutes for stored energy to dissipate before
handling.
1. Select mounting method as detailed in Figure 1 on page 2
and install the electrical box (not supplied) using suitable
hardware.
a. For outdoor applications, install the weatherproof box
(ordered separately) using four #10 x 1 1/4” (32 mm)
screws and cap lugs provided in the enclosed parts
bag.
Note:
Be sure hook flange is facing outward as shown in
Note:
The designation “TOP” on boxes denotes orientation of
box after installation.
2. Attach mounting plate using two #8-32 screws provided
with the surface box (ordered separately) or four #8-32
screws provided with the weatherproof box (ordered
separately). The flush box uses two #8-32 screws (not
provided).
3. Bring signaling circuit field wiring into electrical box.
4. Ground in accordance with national and local electrical
codes. A green ground screw is provided with both the
indoor and outdoor surface boxes.
5. Connect signaling circuit field wires to terminals on
horn/strobe assembly (Figure 2 - 4 on page 2).
6. Mount the horn/strobe assembly on the mounting plate
a. The inside of the top of the grille has hinges that pass
through cutouts and engage with tabs on the
mounting plate. With the bottom of the grille lifted out
slightly, place the grille over the mounting plate so
that the hinges of the grille are in the mounting
cutouts.
b. Properly seat the grille by pressing the bottom in.
c. Fasten the bottom of the grille to the mounting plate
by installing the captive combination drive screw.
7. Apply power and activate the horn/strobe unit to verify that
it is operating properly.
Selecting the volume and tone
The horn has a jumper for selecting a high or low volume
output level. The default is high volume. To set the output to
low volume, remove the output jumper from the circuit board
on the rear of the unit. See Figure 4 on page 3.
The horn has a jumper for selecting either a temporal or steady
tone. The default is temporal tone. To set the output to steady
tone, remove the tone jumper from the circuit board on the rear
of the unit.
Tip:
Save the jumper by sliding it onto a single pin.
