UNIVERSAL TELEPHONE ALERT
Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
MODEL: UTA-1
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The UTA is a loud attention getting electronic ringer designed for use in noisy locations or for wide area coverage. It is FCC and DOC Registered for
the public telephone network and can be used behind PBX and key systems that use interrupted ring voltages from 40-130V, 20-30Hz or 18-
30VDC/VAC or 36-60VDC.
The UTA, when used indoors, will accommodate a modular plug that mates with an RJ-11C jack (USA) or a CA-11 jack (Canada) for ringing voltage.
UTA operates directly off the telephone ringing voltage with low current drain to minimize line loading.
UTA offers a choice of four selectable sound patterns (horn, bell, single chime or vibrating chime) with a volume control. The UTA is equipped with a
weather resistant backbox for optional outdoor use with conduit enclosed wiring.
APPLICATION INFORMATION:
The installation of this product must conform to the following instructions. IF ANY WORDS OR LETTERS APPEAR ON THE PRODUCT INDICATING
A PARTICULAR USE, THE PRODUCT MUST BE USED ONLY IN THE MANNER SO INDICATED. FIELD ADJUSTMENT, REPAIR OR
MODIFICATION OF THESE SIGNALS SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED. Malfunctioning units should be returned for factory repair or replacement in
accordance with Cooper Notification's published terms and conditions.
NOTE: All CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are identified by the symbol . All warnings are printed in bold capital letters.
CAUTION: The installation of this equipment should only be undertaken by qualified personnel.
WARNING: SHUT OFF ALL POWER BEFORE INSTALLING. ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
FCC REGULATIONS:
•This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. The label affixed to this product contains, among other information, the FCC Registration
Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this product. This information must be provided to the telephone company if requested.
•The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when
your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN's of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, contact your local telephone company.
•This equipment should not be used on coin telephone lines. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs.
•If trouble is experienced, disconnect this equipment from the telephone line to determine if it is causing the malfunction. If the equipment is
determined to be malfunctioning, its use shall be discontinued until the problem has been corrected.
•Should the equipment cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company shall, if possible, notify the customer that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required; however, where prior written notice is not possible, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service without notice, if such action is necessary under the circumstances. The telephone company may make changes in its
communication facilities, equipment and operations procedures, where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its business and is
not inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission.
INDUSTRY CANADA (IC) REGULATIONS: (Only applicable for use in Canada)
•The Industry Canada (IC) label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications
network protective, operational, and safetey requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical requirements
documents(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
•Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities or the local telecommunications
company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with
the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
•Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs of alterations made by the user
to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
•Users should ensure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or
electrician, as appropriate.
RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER:
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides and indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be
connected to a telephone interface. The termination of an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the
sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

UTA SETTINGS:
The SW1 and SW2 switches of the UTA are used to set input voltage and desired tone as shown in Figure 2 and Table 5. The potentiometer R12
(shown in Figure 2) is used to adjust the volume of sound.
The factory settings are:
Input Voltage = 90Vrms/20-30Hz (SW1 POS 1 set on 0)
Tone = Horn (SW2 POS 1,2,3,4 set on 0,0,1,1)

MOUNTING INFORMATION:
The UTA is designed for mounting to walls, partitions or posts in both indoor and outdoor applications. Refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3 mounting, wiring and
adjustment of each model. Use 4 conductor modular telephone line cords for ring voltage indoor wiring. For outdoor applications, use conduit enclosed
wiring. All models are rated for indoor and outdoor use with a temperature range of -31°F to +150°F (-35°C to +66°C) and a maximum humidity of 95%
RH.
NOTE: Potentiometer shaft and four screws must be installed first before proceeding with Figure 1.
Before mounting, test the signal by temporarily connecting it as shown. Place a call into the system to make sure the signal operates properly.
WARNING: DO NOT STAND CLOSE TO THE UTA WHEN TESTING OR OPERATING. TOO MUCH EXPOSURE AT CLOSE RANGE MAY BE
HARMFUL TO YOUR HEARING. UTA’s SHOULD BE LOCATED AT LEAST 10 FEET AWAY FROM LISTENERS.
