2 Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Public Address option for your Code Blue application. Public Address is
a centralized amplier-based system designed to provide voice paging and broadcast alarm tones
during emergencies. The system can transmit alarm tones and voice messages in a reliable and
safe manner from a central location to all or selected areas of the facility via loudspeakers. The en-
tire operational area can be divided into one or more zones, which can be accessed independently
either for announcements or alarm broadcasting. Loudspeakers are installed in these zones. There
are no limitations to the number of zones in a system or number of loudspeakers in each zone. The
system is designed to o󰀨er clear reproduction of sound and intelligibility, even in high noise areas.
2.1 Overview
This manual contains all of the Code Blue PAS information needed on the CB 1 series with Public
Address, CB 5-s with Public Address, WM-180 Public Address System, CB 2-e with Public Address
and 360° PAS retrot top. This manual contains a general overview of the Code Blue PAS options
and its application, installation and wiring.

4 How to Update Connectors
As of 2020, many Code Blue products come with Wago connectors. These connectors provide
ease of use and a much stronger connection. Below are the steps needed to change to the new
connectors.
Example:
Cut o both wires.
Strip all wires and twist tight.
Wago socket
connectors to
add to your wires.

Place small screwdriver into square hole and push down. Insert cut wire into
round hole and remove screwdriver. Repeat on the rest of the connectors.
Once all connectors have been switched, you are ready to apply power to the
LED.

tioned between 34 and 48 inches from grade level. Consult an ADA
specialist in your area to verify local and federal guidelines.
5.3.2.4 Drill all marked holes.
5.3.2.5 Install the housing. Four anchors of appropriate size and type should be
used to fasten the housing to the wall (see Figure 3 on Page 14).
IMPORTANT: If wiring is being supplied from the back, ensure that the
conduit is aligned at this time.
5.3.2.6 Reattach the top.
5.3.3 Electrical Wiring
5.3.3.1 Ground – The ground (green) wire should be stripped and fastened to
the supplied grounding lug.
5.3.3.2 24V AC supply – Using the proper crimping tool, attach a #8 fork to
each of the incoming power wires and fasten them to the terminal
screws labeled “Line” and “Neutral.”
5.3.3.3 120/240V AC supply – Using the proper crimping tool, attach a #8 fork
to each of the incoming power wires and fasten them to the correct ter-
minals as labeled on the transformer. After completing the wire connec-
tions, install the supplied terminal covers (see Figure 10 on Page 23).
