Generate Multiple Tones for Any
Paging System
Tone Descriptions
The model MTG-10 is a multi-tone
generator designed to add multiple
contact-controlled audio tones to
paging systems or 600 ohm inputs.
The MTG-10’s audio input can be
connected to any paging source, ie:
phone system paging port or back-
ground music. When a contact clo-
sure is provided to one of the inputs,
the paging or background music is
faded out and the appropriate tone is
generated over the paging system.
The siren or the evacuation whoop
always have priority and over-ride
any other tone being generated.

from both the AC outlet
and the telephone line. It
is recommended that a

stalled to protect against
such surges.
Programming

which are selected with DIP switches 1 and 2. See the
diagram below and chart to the right.
A. Tone Group Selection
Step 1. Unsnap the plastic cover
(see Diagram A right).
Step 2.
Loosen the screw and ro-
tate the circuit board to the
left, exposing the two
mounting holes in the
base (see Diagram B
right).
Step 3.
Screw the base to the wall,
etc. using (2) #6 flathead
or sheetrock screws.

An individual tone may be energized by shorting pin 6
(common ground) to the corresponding pin of the de-
sired tone. The tones will continue for as long as the clo-
sure is maintained. If background music is passed
through the MTG-10, it will be faded out during the tone
and then faded back in. The tone associated with pin
number 1 of each group has priority and will interrupt any
other on-going tone.

A. Tone Generator Only
The output level of the tones can be adjusted by adjusting the Tone Volume Control as shown in Installation
section B. This does not affect the level of the audio input. The overall level of both the tones and the paging/back-
ground music can be boosted by 14 dB by setting DIP switch 3 to the ON position.
C. Tone Volume Control
If the MTG-10 is to be used strictly as a tone generator, connect pins 9& 10 of the MTG-10 to the audio input of
a paging amplifier. In this mode, no input signal is required, only a contact closure for the desired tone.

C. Tone Generation and Background Music Control
If the application requires background music to be interrupted by the tone, connect the background music source
to audio input pins 7&8. The audio output pins 9& 10 connect to the audio input of a paging amplifier.
Operation
D. Telephone Recording Disclosure Tone
In some states, to legally record a tele-
phone conversation, both parties must be
alerted to the fact that you are recording
their conversation. One common method
of reminding callers that they are being
recorded is to provide a periodic alert tone
during the call. To create a telephone
recording disclosure tone at 15 second in-
tervals, wire the MTG-10 as shown below.
Then jumper pins 1and 5with pin 6. When
the unit is then powered up, it will go into
alert tone mode.

Applications
A. Amplifying the MTG-10 Tones with a PA-2A
In this application, the tones from the MTG-10 are amplified by a Viking PA-2A Paging/Loud Ringing Amplifier.
Whenever the MTG-10 receives a contact closure on one of its inputs, it generates the selected tone. Whether
the paging amp amplifies the tone when other inputs are activated depends on the the priority the paging amp
places on this particular input. If the MTG-10 has been installed to generate emergency tones, its output should
have top priority so that any emergency tone will be amplified and sent to the paging speakers.
B. Tone Generation and Paging
The MTG-10 can be installed in between a phone system’s paging port and a paging amplifier. Connect the paging
port to pins 7& 8. The audio output pins 9& 10 go to the paging amplifier’s input. When the MTG-10 is idle, pages
will pass through it to the amplifier. When the MTG-10 receives a contact closure, it will interrupt any paging audio
and play the associated tone for the duration of the closure.

In this application, the MTG-10
is used with a Viking PI-1A and
a PA-15 to provide paging with
background music which can
be interrupted by tones from
the MTG-10. The PI-1A pro-
vides switching between back-
ground music and paging, the
PA-15 provides the amplifica-
tion, and the MTG-10 is wired
in such a way that its tones will
always be given priority over
music or paging.
