888D-N5 and 889D-AW Explosion-Proof
AdaptaHorns Installation Sheet
Description
Edwards’ explosion-proof AdaptaHorn signals, catalog
numbers 888D-N5 and 889D-AW, are heavy-duty vibrating
horns intended for use where distinctive audible signals are
required in a hazardous location having high ambient noise
levels.
These horns include a series diode and are suitable for use in
fire alarm systems and other applications requiring electrical
supervision of signal circuit installation wiring.
The 888D-N5 is AC-powered and the 889D-AW is
DC-powered. They are UL Listed for indoor use in Class I,
Groups B, C, and D; Class II, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III
locations, for both Divisions 1 and 2.
Installation
The following items (not supplied) are required for installation
of the horn:
3/4 in. conduit to contain power supply wires.
One explosion-proof conduit outlet box suitable for use in
the hazardous location.
One 3/4-14 National Pipe Taper (NPT) nipple.
Two fasteners up to 3/8 in. diameter and washers suitable
for securing the horn to mounting surface. The horn can
be mounted to any solid surface.
WARNING: Electrocution hazard. Do not apply power to the
horn until installation has been completed and cover has been
secured on outlet box.
To install the horn:
1. See Figure 1. Remove the cover from the conduit outlet
box. Feed the two power supply wires from control panel
or previous signal and the two wires to next signal or end-
of-line device through conduit into the outlet box.
Also, feed the horn's three power connection wires
through the nipple, which connects the horn to the outlet
box, into the box. Secure the horn and conduit to the outlet
box.
2. With the horn placed against mounting surface, mark
mounting hole positions for fasteners as per Figure 1.
Install fasteners with washers through mounting brackets
and secure unit to surface.
3. Make the required power supply wiring connection and
make wiring connection to next signal or end-of-line device
in outlet box. For 888D-N5, see Figure 2. For 889D-AW,
see Figure 3.
4. Apply power to the fire alarm control panel. Initiate an
alarm to activate the horn and verify that it sounds. Then
reset the panel and verify that the horn silences.

Maintenance
Examine the horn annually for accumulation of dirt and clean if
necessary. Test the horn annually or at the intervals required
by applicable fire regulations.
