Supplemental Alert Adapter

DESCRIPTION

You can connect Extra Alert Devices, such as a horn, bell, strobe, or chime,

 

to your system so that people working in noisy or remote areas of a building

 

can be alerted when a call rings. When you activate the Supplemental Alert

 

Adapter (SAA) and a voice terminal rings, the adapter automatically activates

 

the connected extra alert device, which gives a visual or audible signal that a

 

call has come in.

CONSIDERATIONS

An Extra Alert Switch allows you to turn an extra alert device on and off and

 

alternately select between two different connected alerting devices, such as a

 

strobe during business hours and a horn off-hours. You may also alternate

 

between two extra alert devices installed in different locations. In addition,

 

an extra alert switch allows you to use two extra alert devices simultaneously.

 

The extra alert switch is compatible with MERLIN Plus extra alert devices

 

(-48V).

 

If you want the SAA to automatically turn on the extra alert devices

 

connected to the extra alert switch plug the extra alert switch into the

 

Alerter jack of the SAA.

 

If you want to use extra-alerting devices simultaneously, you need to plug the

 

modular cord for each device into a Line Bridging Adapter which you can

 

connect to either position (1) or position (2) on the bottom of the extra alert

 

switch.
