HOW TO USE
You can connect Extra Alert Devices, such as a horn, bell, strobe, or chime, to
your system through a Supplemental Alert Adapter (SAA) so that people
working in noisy or remote areas of a building can be alerted when a call
rings (Figure 2-27). The SAA does, not connect directly to the control unit;
instead, a voice terminal connected to the control unit also connects to the
SAA. When you activate the SAA and the 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.

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 during 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 II 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
alert switch.
