5553 Series Adaptatone Millennium Speaker
Installation Sheet
Description
Edwards 5553 Series Adaptatone Millennium Speakers are
UL Listed audible signaling appliances that are designed to
accept system audio input levels of 25 or 70 VRMS. They are
designed to be used in conjunction with compatible control
equipment for high intelligibility reproduction of audible
emergency and protective signals as well as voice messages.
They comply with the requirements of UL Standard 1480. The
speakers are suitable for outdoor use with a UL 1480 wet
locations rated enclosure.
The speakers include a supervisory capacitor and are suitable
for installation in systems employing supervised circuitry
(25 V/ 70.7 V). Maximum supervised circuit voltage is 24 VDC.
Speaker direction and the output level are easily adjustable.
Output wattage is easily adjusted by an internal rotary switch.
Additionally, the Adaptatone series are UL Listed as audible
signal appliances for use in the hazardous locations shown in
Table 1.

Installation
The Adaptatone speaker may be mounted to any flat surface
or may be used as a freestanding unit mounted to a rigid pipe.
The device must be installed in accordance with the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code or other regulations
applicable to the country and locality of installation and by a
trained and qualified electrician.
WARNINGS
•Explosion hazard. Substitution of components may impair
suitability for Class I, Division 2.
•Explosion hazard. Do not disconnect equipment unless
power has been switched off or the area is known to be
nonhazardous.
•Fire and shock hazard. Wire the unit only as described on
this installation sheet.
Note: This apparatus is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2,
Groups A, B, C and D, Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G,
Class III, Division 1 and 2.
1. Mount the speaker as shown in Figure 2, using one of the
following methods.
Flat surface mounting. Secure the unit to the mounting
surface using the four mounting holes in the mounting
plate on the rear of the signal box. Use #10 × 3 in.
(76 mm) wood screws (furnished loose) or other hardware
(not supplied) suitable for the mounting surface.

Rigid pipe mounting. Loosen the four cover screws from
the signal box and lift off the signal box cover.
Note: The cover screws are captive. Do not remove them
from the cover.
Remove the center knockout in the lower wall of the box
and mount the box to a 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) conduit pipe
using a suitable connector.
2. Install the wires through a knockout hole in the bottom of
the box from a raceway that, with its connections to the
1/2 in. (12.7 mm) conduit knockout hole, is approved for
the same degree of protection and enclosure type needed
by the application.
3. Wire as follows, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4:
a. Connect audio in (+) and audio in (−) to the AUDIO
INPUT terminals of the two-position terminal block on
the faceplate (Figure 3).
Observe the polarity on the faceplate label. Shielded
cable is recommended.
b. When connecting multiple speakers or supervised
circuits, connect the wires leading to the next signal or
end-of-line resistor on the same INPUT/OUTPUT
terminals (+) and (−) on the two-position terminal
block as shown in Figure 4. Again, polarity must be
observed.
4. Adjust the voltage/wattage level by turning the power tap
selection switch located on internal faceplate. See Table 2
for power tap selection settings.
WARNINGS
•To ensure integrity of the enclosure: Ensure the cover
gasket (P/N P-007549-0069)is adhered into groove
at the cover perimeter before replacing the signal box
cover.
•Ensure that the four collar gaskets
(P/N P-041930-0362) are in place on each cover
screw before securing the signal box cover (Figure 2).
When securing the cover, start the screws by hand,
making sure they are threaded into tapped holes in
the housing bosses before securing with a
screwdriver. Torque the signal box cover screws to a
minimum of 20 in-lbs. This ensures the required tight
fit.
5. Tightly secure the signal box cover using the four retained
cover screws.
6. Torque the signal box cover screws (Figure 2) to a
minimum of 20 in-lbs.
Figure 2: Speaker mounting
WARNING: To ensure the integrity of the Adaptatone
assembly when adjusting the speaker direction, make sure
threads in the enclosure remain fully engaged and do not
turn the speaker more than 360 degrees from the original
factory installed position.
7. To adjust speaker direction, loosen the large star nut
(Figure 2) and turn the speaker to the approximate desired
position.
8. Regardless of the speaker direction adjustment, it is
important that the star nut be tightened wrench-tight to
ensure the speaker position is maintained securely.
WARNING: High volume may cause harm to personnel in
close proximity.
9. Verify operability.
Maintenance
WARNING: Ensure that power is disconnected before cleaning
inside of unit.
Examine the unit semi-annually for accumulation of dirt. Clean
if necessary.
The Adaptatone speaker should be tested annually or as
required by the authority having jurisdiction to ensure
continuous service.

Caution:
To ensure proper supervision of connections, do not use
looped wires under the terminal screws. Break each wire run. Use both
sides of the terminal screws as shown.
Note:
To conform to UL requirements, wires must be connected as
shown
in the wiring diagram. Wire size: 12 to 18 AWG (1.0 to
