Applications
Adaptatone Signaling Systems are
designed for industrial applications
The Edwards 5540M Millennium Central Tone Generator has been designed for applications where simultaneous signaling of a high decibel,
heavy duty signal is required. The Millennium Central Tone Generator produces the 27 standard Adaptatone
sounds. The tone generator assures a
synchronous signaling sound from all
remote speakers. The four tones
may be activated from field-wired,
normally open contacts, or a 24VDC
or 120VAC external voltage source
such as an output of a PLC. The tones
may be selected by setting miniature
dip switches within the unit. The programmed tones operate on a pyramid-type priority system. Normally
open contacts can be obtained from
the Cat. No. 5538-4 or Cat. No. 55384R Adaptatone Signal Actuator. See
page 4-40.

The Adaptatone Millennium signals
have priority capability. The programmed tones operate on a pyramid-type priority system. The tone
programmed on switch 1 overrides
the tones programmed on switches
2, 3, and 4. The tone on switch 2
overrides the tones programmed on
switches 3 and 4. Likewise, the tone
on switch 3 overrides the tone programmed on switch 4. The tone programmed on switch 4 has the lowest
priority and cannot override any
other programmed tone.

Programming the Adaptatone Signal
for the tone or tones selected is accomplished through setting the
switches located in the signal base. A
convenient tone selection chart is
provided in the cover of each unit. In
some cases the signaling task will dictate the tones required. For example,
if a paging function is to be performed one of the unique percussive
tones (Chime1 or Chime 2) may be
most suitable. Local regulations or
standards may require specific tones
such as siren, horn, hi-lo. In some
cases varying ambient noise may necessitate on-site evaluation of all
available tones to select the most
suitable tone. On-site volume control
is also available by adjusting the conveniently located volume control in
the base.
