If selecting a VROM or VRAM that is not installed, a trouble will be generated at the AMG-1 and the AMG-1 generates the 1 kHz default tone.3. Boston Code (order VROM-109, which must be installed in VROM-B position) – 900 Hz alert tone pulsed to produce one round of code 4 at approximately one second intervals, followed by female voice message:

“Attention please. The signal tone you have just heard indicates a report of an emergency in this

building. If your floor evacuation signal sounds after this message, walk to the nearest stairway and leave

the floor. While the report is being verified, occupants on other floors should await further instructions.”

This message repeats. The evacuation signal is a slow-whoop tone—an ascending tone that starts at approximately 600 Hz and ends at approximately1100 Hz—with a duration of approximately 3.5 seconds and an interruption between tones of approximately 0.5 second.
