Description and Operation
Edwards 5553 series Adaptatone Speakers are UL Listed Audible
Signaling Appliances that are designed to accept system audio input
levels of 25 or 70 volts RMS. They are designed to be used in conjunction
with compatible control equipment for high intelligibility reproduction
of audible emergency and protecive signals as well as voice messages.
They comply with the requirements of UL Standard 1480, Fire Protective
Signaling Speakers. The speakers are suitable for outdoor use with a
UL1480 wet locations rated enclosure.
The speakers include a supervisory capacitor and are suitable for
installation in systems employing supervised circuitry (25V/70.7V).
Maximum supervised circuit voltage is 24VDC.
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 following hazardous locations.

a. Flat Surface Mounting. Secure unit to mounting surface
using the (4) mounting holes in the mounting plate on the
rear of the box. Use #10 x 3" (76 mm) wood screws (furnished
loose) or other hardware (not supplied) suitable for the
mounting surface.
b. Rigid Pipe Mounting. Loosen the (4) cover screws from the
signal box and lift off signal box cover.
NOTE: C
over screws are captive. Do not remove from cover.
Remove the center knockout in lower wall of box and
mount box to a 1/2" (12.7 mm) conduit pipe using suitable
connector.
2. Install wires through a knockout hole in the bottom of the box
from a raceway that is, with its connections to the 1/2" (12.7 mm)
conduit knockout hole, approved for the same degree of protection
and enclosure type needed by the application.

3. Wire as follows referring to Figure 3:
a. Connect audio in (+) and audio in (-) to the "AUDIO INPUT/
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS", 2-place terminal on faceplate.
Observe polarity on faceplate label. Shielded cable
recommended.
b. When connecting multiple speakers or supervised circuits;
Connect wires leading to next signal or end-of-line resistor
on the same INPUT/OUTPUT terminals (+) and (-) on the 2-
place terminal as shown in Figure 4. Again, polarity must be
observed.
4. Adjust voltage/wattage level by turning rotary switch located
on internal faceplate (Figures 3 & 4). See Table 1 for Power Tap
Selection Settings.
5. Tightly secure the signal box cover using (4) retained cover
screws.
6. Torque signal box cover screws to a minimum of 20 in-lbs.
WARNING
To ensure integrity of the enclosure: Ensure the cover gasket,
part number P-007549-0069, is adhered into groove at cover
perimeter before replacing the signal box cover.
Ensure that the (4) collar gaskets, part number P-041930-0362,
are in place on each cover screw before securing the signal
box cover.
When securing cover, start screws by hand, making sure
they are threaded into tapped holes in housing bosses before
securing with a screwdriver. Torque signal box cover screws to
a minimum of 20 in-lbs. This ensures the required tight fit.
To prevent fire and shock, wire the Adaptatone only as described
in this installation instruction.

turn speaker to the approximate desired position.
To ensure integrity of the Adaptatone assembly when
adjusting the speaker direction, make sure threads in the
enclosure remain fully engaged and do not turn speaker more
than 360 degrees from the original factory installed position.
High volume may cause harm to personnel in close proximity.
9. Verify operability.
Maintenance and Test
Examine the unit semi-annually for accumulation of dirt. Clean if
necessary.
The Adaptatone should be tested annually or as required by the author-
