Installation

Install this device in accordance with applicable requirements in the latest editions of the NFPA codes and standards; the National Building Code of Canad a; the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 , Section 32, and in accordance with the local authorities having jurisdiction.

Caution: Electrical supervision requires breaking the wire run at each terminal. Do not loop the signaling circuit field wires around the terminals.

To install the horn:

• 1. Remove the cover by depressing both tabs on the top of the unit with a small screwdriver and twisting slightly.
• 2. Set the horn signal and sound output level to desired settings. See Figure 1.
• 3. Connect the horn terminals to the signal circuit field wiring. Observe polarity for the unit to function properly. See Figure 1.
• 4. Mount the unit onto a compatible electrical box, making sure not to overtighten the mounting screws.
• 5. Replace the cover by aligning at the bottom, then snapping in at the top.
• 6. Test the unit for proper operation.

Figure 1: Horn settings

• 1. To change the horn signal from temporal to steady, cut from circle J2 to edge of circuit board
• 2. To change the horn sound output level from high dB to low dB. cut J3 by snipping the board trace between holes

Note: Polarity is shown in the alarm condition.

Maintenance

Caution: To maintain the required agency listings, do not change factory applied finishes.

This unit is not serviceable or repairable. Should the unit fail to operate, contact the supplier for replacement.

Perform a visual inspection and an operational test twice a year or as directed by the local authority having jurisdiction.
