INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
120VAC MULTITONE STROBE APPLIANCE
MT4-115-WH
Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
GENERAL
MT4-115-WH Multitone Strobe Signals are UL-Listed under Standard 464 and 1638 for Private Mode Fire Protective Signaling Service.
They are listed for both indoor and outdoor use with the backboxes specified in these instructions (See Mounting Information).
MT4-115-WH Multitone Strobe Signals can be field set to produce any one of eight commonly used alarm tones. Sound output can be
field set to provide either HIGH (HI) dBA or STANDARD (STD) dBA sound output level. They are available with a MT4-115-WH Xenon Tube
Strobe with an intensity of 15 candela (cd).
The MT4-115-WH Multitone Strobe Signals have separate input terminals for alarm tone activation and strobe activation. Shunt wires are
provided to operate both the alarm tone and the strobe simultaneously on a single input circuit (See Wiring Diagram). All inputs have a DC
blocking capacitor for compatibility with supervision when used with a Fire Alarm Control Panel (F.A.C.P.).
WARNING: Please read these instructions carefully before using this product. The Multitone Strobe Signals must be field set to
the desired dBA sound output level and alarm tone before they are installed. This is done by properly inserting a jumper plug and
adjusting a four position switch in accordance with these instructions. Incorrect settings will result in improper performance and
may damage the product and could result in property damage and serious injury or death to you and/or others.
CAUTION: Not recommended for use at refrigerator/freezer door entrances or other areas with persistent condensations.

GENERAL NOTES
• Strobes are designed to flash at approximately 1 flash per second with continuous nominal applied voltage. Do not use strobes
on coded or interrupted circuits.
• MT4-115-WH is UL-Listed for indoor/outdor use with a temperature range of -31°F to +150°F (-35°C to +66°C) and maximum
humidity of 95% RH.
WARNING: For UL applications, these appliances were tested to the operating voltage limits of 96-132 volts. Do not apply 80%
and 110% of these voltage values for system operation.

NOTE: If the strobe and audible are wired to operate in unison on a single circuit, add strobe current from Table 1 to audible signal current
from Table 3 to obtain total current for each unit.
WARNING: If Multitone Strobe signals are operated within 15 inches of a person's ear, they can produce a sound pressure level
that exceeds the maximum 120 dBA permitted by ADA and OSHA rules. Exposure to such sound levels can result in damage to a
person's hearing.
WARNING: Ensure the total RMS current required by all appliances that are connected to the system's primary and secondary
power sources do not exceed the power sources' rated capacity or the current ratings of any fuses on the circuits to which these
appliances are wired. Overloading power sources or exceeding fuse ratings could result in loss of power and failure to alert oc-
cupants during an emergency, which could result in property damage and serious injury or death to you and/or others.
When calculating the total currents: Use Table 1 and 3 to determine the highest value of RMS Current for an individual strobe (across the
expected operating voltage range of the strobe), then multiply these values by the total number of strobes; be sure to add the currents for
any other appliances, including audible signaling appliances, powered by the same source and include any required safety factors.
WARNING: Ensure all fuses used on signaling circuits are rated to handle the maximum inrush or peak current from all devices on
those circuits. Failure to do this may result in loss of power to the signaling circuit and the failure of all devices on that circuit to
operate, which could result in property damage and serious injury or death to you and/or others.
The Multitone audible signals produce a brief inrush current that lasts for just 50 microseconds but can reach a peak value of 5.0 Amps.
SETTINGS
The Switch (SW1) of the Multitone Signal, shown in Figure 1, is used to set the desired dBA sound output level and alarm tone. The factory
settings are shown below. Read these instructions carefully before changing any of these factory settings.
