AMT MULTITONE APPLIANCES

AMT-12/24-NYC

Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.

GENERAL:

AMT Multitone Appliances are UL Listed for Fire Protective Service, General Signaling Service and UL Standard 464 for Audible Signal Appliances. They are

listed for both indoor and outdoor use with the backboxes specified in these instructions. (See Mounting Options A,B,C,D,E,F,G). Cooper Notification's AMT

Appliances are unique multitone alarm appliances with separate input terminals for each sound. They are the ideal choice for Halon Protection Systems and

emergency signaling systems where distinctive multiple alarm conditions are required. Eight groups of three self-prioritized sound outputs are provided with

separate electrically isolated input terminals for each sound (see Table 2 and 4 for sound selections). Sound output can be field set to provide either HIGH (HI)

dBA or STANDARD (STD) dBA sound output level. AMT Multitone Appliances can be field set for either 12VDC or 24VDC operation and are designed for

use with either filtered or unfiltered (full-wave-rectified) input voltage. All inputs are polarized for compatibility with standard reverse supervision of circuit

wiring by Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).

NOTE: All CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are identified by the symbol . All warnings are printed in bold capital letters.

WARNING: CHECK THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM OUTPUT OF THE POWER SUPPLY AND STANDBY BATTERY AND

SUBSTRACT THE VOLTAGE DROP FROM THE CIRCUIT WIRING RESISTANCE TO DETERMINE THE APPLIED VOLTAGE TO THE

SIGNALING APPLIANCE.

WARNING: FOR UL APPLIANCES THESE APPLIANCES WERE TESTED TO THE OPERATING VOLTAGE LIMITS OF 16-33 VOLTS

FOR 24V APPLICATIONS AND 8.0-17.5 VOLTS FOR 12V APPLICATIONS USING FILTERED (DC) OR UNFILTERED FULL-WAVE-

RECTIFIED (FWR). DO NOT APPLY 80% AND 110% OF THESE VOLTAGE VALUES FOR SYSTEM OEPRATION.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TOTAL RMS CURRENT REQUIRED BY ALL APPLIANCES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE

SYSTEM’S PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POWER SOURCES, NAC CIRCUITS, OR COOPER NOTIFICATIONS POWER SUPPLIES 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 OCCUPANTS DURING AN EMERGENCY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND

SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

P83611 J

Sheet 2 of 4

When calculating the total currents: Use Table 2 to determine the highest value of “RMS Current” for an individual AMT (across the expected operating voltage

range of the AMT’s), then multiply these values by the total number of AMT’s; be sure to add the currents for any other appliances powered by the same source

and include any required safety factors.

If the peak current exceeds the power supplies’ peak capacity, the output voltage provided by the power supplies may drop below the listed voltage range of the

appliances connected to the supply and the voltage may not recover in some types of power supplies. For example, an auxiliary power supply that lacks filtering

at its output stage (either via lack of capacitance and/or lack of battery backup across the output) may exhibit this characteristic.

The AMT Multitone audible appliances produce a brief inrush current that lasts for just 2 microseconds but can reach a peak value of 8.0 Amps (11.2 amps for

FWR input).

AMT MULTITONE SETTINGS:

The Jumper Plug (DP1) and Switch (SW1) of the AMT Multitone Appliances, shown in Figure 1, are used to set the input voltage dBA sound output level and

alarm tone. The factory settings are shown below. Read these instructions carefully before changing any of these factory settings.

WARNING: DO NOT APPLY 24VDC INPUT IF THE JUMPER PLUG (DP1) IS SET ON 12. THIS CAN DAMAGE THE UNIT. DOUBLE

CHECK THE JUMPER PLUG (DP1) AND SWITCH (SW1) SETTINGS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE CORRECT. IMPROPER SETTINGS CAN

DAMAGE THE UNIT OR RESULT IN NO SOUND OUTPUT OR A dBA SOUND OUTPUT LEVEL THAT IS BELOW THE MINIMUM CODE

REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC MODE FIRE PROTECTION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY

OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

NOTES:

1. The prioritized tones contained in each group is factory pre-set which can not be changed.

2. The Code 3 Horn and Code 3 Tone (set on HIGH dBA) incorporate the temporal pattern specified by ANSI/NFPA for standard emergency evacuation

signaling. They should be used only for fire evacuation signaling and not for any other purpose.

The Bell Tone can be used on coded systems with a minimum On-Time of 1/4 second if the audible and strobe are wired to operate independently. All other

tones are recommended for use only on continuous (non-coded) systems.

For applications not requiring supervision: connect all positive (+) terminals to

the power source. The negative (-) terminal for each appliance will actuate the

appliance.

For applications not requiring supervision: connect all negative (-) terminals to

the power source. The positive (+) terminal for each appliance will actuate the

appliance.

In case of simultaneous inputs, the three audible outputs are self-prioritized as follows: 1st priortiy= PRI 1; 2nd priority = PRI 2; 3rd priority = PRI 3. Leave

any unused inputs disconnected.

1. AMT Multitone appliance models have in-out wiring terminals that accept two #12 to

#18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires at each screw terminal. Strip leads 3/8 inches

and connect to screw terminals.

2. Break all in-out wire runs on supervised circuits to assure integrity of circuit

supervision as shown on left. The polarity shown in the wiring diagrams is for

operation of the appliances. The polarity is reversed by the FACP during supervision.

MOUNTING OPTIONS:

CAUTION: The following figures show the maximum number of field wires (conductors) that can enter the backbox used with each mounting option. If

these limits are exceeded, there may be insufficient space in the backbox to accommodate the field wires and stresses from the wires could damage the product.

Although the limits shown for each mounting option comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC), Cooper Notification recommends use of the largest

backbox option shown and the use of approved stranded field wires, whenever possible, to provide additional wiring room for easy installation and minimum

stress on the product from wiring.

AMT Appliances can be wall or ceiling mounted.

MOUNTING PROCEDURES:

CAUTION: If sheated multiconductor cable or 3/4" conduit fittings are used, check that installed product has sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to

installing backboxes and conduit.

1. AMT Multitone Appliances can be flush mounted to a standard 4 inch square by 2-1/8 inch deep electrical box (Figure A) or a standard 2-gang by 2-1/2

inch minimum deep electrical box (Figure B).

2. Select largest backbox shown in Mounting Options where possible, to provide additional wiring room for easy installation.

3. Conduit entrance to backboxes should be selected to insure sufficient wiring clearance for installed equipment. When extension rings are required, conduit

should enter through backbox, not extension ring. Use Steel City #53151/1-1/2" deep or #53171/2-1/8" deep extension rings or equal with same area cut

out in back.

4. The AMT-12/24 model can also be surface mounted to Cooper Notification's Indoor/Outdoor Backbox (Model IOB) for indoor/outdoor use (Figure C).

5. The AMT-12/24 model is supplied with four snap-in covers to hide the mounting holes and provide an attractive installation. The snap-in covers are

interchangeable and have slots on each end so they can be removed if necessary (by prying them up with a thin blade screwdriver). To insert snap-in cover,

slide one side partially into mounting hole recess; align the cover so that snap-in cover and grille are parallel to each other (not tilted) and snap cover into

place.

6. The IOB surface backbox has 1/2 inch conduit knockouts on two sides. It has a variety of knockouts on the back for mounting it to recessed electrical

boxes and for wire entrances (Figure D). It can also be mounted to a surface with the two mounting ears that are supplied. The ears slide into slots on the

back of the box. Use appropriate anchors for the wood screws that are supplied with the box (if necessary).

7. For outdoor use, the IOB includes a prefastened gasket and four hole plugs. Use the mounting ears to secure the box (do not use the back knockouts). Use

the hole plugs to seal the unused mounting holes on the AMT Multitone grille (press them in securely from the back side of the grille). Mount the unit to

the IOB with the four #8-18 screws supplied with the box.

8. All models are UL Listed for indoor and outdoor use with a temperature range of -40oF to +150o F (-40oC to +66oC) and maximum humidity of 98%, 

2% RH.

WARNING: IF AMT MULTITONE APPLIANCES 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.
