Description and Operation
5532B-AQ
Edwards Tone Generator and Speaker/Amplifiers are intended for
industrial applications where high audible output and microcomputer reliability are required. The tone generator and speaker/
amplifier are UL listed and CSA certified as audible signal appliances for general signaling (non-fire alarm) use.
5532B-Y6
The Tone Generator operates from local power. It accommodates
up to four normally-open contacts on its inputs. The tone that
sounds in response to an active input is determined by setting
miniature programming switches inside the unit. Table 1 describes
the tones. Directions for setting tones are affixed to the inside of
the Adaptatone cover.
Four tones may be programmed into the Tone Generator at any
time. These tones operate on a pyramid-type priority system. The
tone programmed on SW1 overrides the tones programmed on
SW2, SW3, and SW4. The tone on SW2 overrides the tones programmed on SW3 and SW4. Likewise, the tone on SW3 overrides
the tone programmed on SW4. The tone programmed on SW4 has
the lowest priority and cannot override any other programmed
tone.

Speaker/Amplifiers are heavy-duty, stand-alone signaling devices
that operate from local power and sound a tone programmed at the
Tone Generator. Speaker direction and the output level are easily
adjustable.

Figure 1. Dimensions
a.
Connect green ground wire to earth ground.
b.
Wire four normally-open initiating contacts to the Tone
Generator (Figure 4).
c.
Connect tone output terminals on Tone Generator to tone
input terminals on Speaker/Amplifiers (Figure 2). Observe
polarity.
d.
For -AQ models, connect power source to the Tone
Generators and Speaker/Amplifiers at TS2. Polarity must
be observed for DC models.
e.
For -Y6 and -N5 models, connect incoming power to wire
leads from power supply as shown in Figure 2. For -Y6
models using a DC source, black wire is positive and
white is negative. For AC source, black is hot and white
is either neutral or hot depending on AC voltage source.
Polarity must be observed.
f.
Refer to tone program chart on inside cover of unit and
Table 1 and select desired tones. Set miniature
programming switch SW1 on the printed circuit board.
Installation
Installation should be completed in accordance with the latest
edition of either the National Electrical Code or the Canadian
Electrical Code and applicable local codes.
These instructions describe surface and conduit mounting of the
Tone Generator and Speaker/Amplifiers.
For input connected to TS1-5, set on SW2; for TS1-6,
set on SW3; and for TS1-7, set on SW4.
CAUTION
During installation, care must be taken so that
components on the printed circuit board are not
damaged.
1.
2.
Mount Speaker/Amplifiers and Tone Generator (mounting is
identical) (Figure 3).
Optional. Wire battery backup to TS1-1 and TS1-2
(polarity must be observed). See Figure 2 for the Speaker/
Amplifier or Figure 4 for the Central Tone Generator.
4.
Adjust volume level, if desired, by turning potentiometer
(Figure 2).
5.
Replace the signal box cover.
CAUTION
a.
Remove (4) cover screws from the signal box and lift off
cover.
b.
Flat Surface Mounting. Secure unit to mounting surface
at the (2) mounting holes in rear of box with O-rings
(supplied) and #10 X 1 1/2" (38 mm) screws (supplied).
For mounting to drywall or concrete surfaces, use O-rings
(supplied) and suitable hardware (not supplied).
c.
Rigid Pipe Mounting. Weatherseal the (2) mounting holes
in rear of box with O-rings (supplied) and #12-24 X 3/8"
(9.5 mm) screws (supplied).
6.
To adjust speaker direction, loosen nut (Figure 3) and turn
speaker to the approximate desired position. Retighten nut
and turn speaker slightly clockwise until locked into place.
Remove the center knockout in lower wall of box and
mount box to a 1/2" (12.7 mm) conduit pipe using suitable
connector such as Thomas & Betts 370, Appleton Hub
50,or O-Z Gedney Hub CHM-50T (connectors not
supplied).
7.
Initiate each tone to verify operability.
Install wires through a knockout hole in the bottom of the
box when the signal is mounted to a flat surface, or through
the pipe when the signal is freestanding.
WARNING
To prevent fire and shock, do not connect power to
TS1 terminals.
3.
g.
Wire Adaptatone as follows:
If Edwards Signal Actuator catalog number 5538-4 is used to
manually initiate tones, connect its four normally-open
P-047550-1550 ISSUE 8
To ensure proper thread engagement of the
Adaptatone and to avoid stress on the internal
wiring, do not turn the speaker more than
360 degrees when adjusting the direction.
Maintenance and Test
CAUTION
Ensure power is disconnected before cleaning inside
of unit.
Examine each unit semi-annually for accumulation of dirt. Clean
if necessary.
The Tone Generator and Speaker/Amplifiers should be tested annually or as required by the authority having jurisdiction to ensure continuous service.
