Federal Signal SelecTone® Universal Tone Module

Description

32 Switchable Tones for Flexible Audible Signalling

The SelecTone tone module gives facilities access to 32 switchable tones from one compact module. Therefore, teams can configure different audible alerts for different site needs. Available tones include options such as wail, yelp, high-low, bell, horn, beep, slow whoop, temporal slow whoop, evacuation, chime, warble, alert, ringer, buzzer, multi-tone, and caution.

This flexibility helps sites create clear audible differences between routine notifications, warning signals, and emergency alerts. In busy areas, a distinct tone can help personnel recognize a signal more quickly. Additionally, facilities can adjust the DIP switch settings when they need a different tone pattern.

Simple DIP Switch Tone Selection

The UTM uses five DIP switches for tone selection. This simple configuration method helps technicians set the module to the required tone without complex programming. In addition, the unit can be reconfigured later by changing the DIP switch settings.

The module ships factory set and tested for the wail tone. However, facilities can select any available tone from the tone chart. This practical setup makes the UTM suitable for both new SelecTone installations and system updates.

Plug-In Installation with Compatible SelecTone Equipment

The edge connector allows the UTM to plug into compatible SelecTone speaker amplifiers and control units. As a result, installation stays straightforward when the module forms part of a larger SelecTone system.

The UTM works with the full SelecTone line of amplified speaker products. It also supports use with the EM3 Extension Module and compatible SelecTone command units. This compatibility helps facilities standardize audible signalling across multiple areas.

RFI and EMI Shielded Construction

Industrial and institutional environments often contain electrical equipment that can create interference. Therefore, the UTM uses a plastic cover impregnated with stainless steel fibres. This cover helps shield the circuitry from radio frequency interference and electro-magnetic interference.

This shielded design supports crisp, clear digital signals. It also helps the audible output remain distinguishable from ambient noise in commercial, institutional, and industrial settings.

Designed for Clear Digital Tone Output

The Federal Signal SelecTone Universal Tone Module generates digital tone signals for compatible SelecTone systems. These tones help personnel identify alerts in environments with background noise. Since the module offers multiple frequency patterns and repetition rates, facilities can choose a sound profile that suits the application.

The UTM also supports single-device and system-based installations. Single unit installations use a user-supplied switch. System installations use a SelecTone Command Unit for activation.

Listed and Approved for Reliable System Use

The UTM carries UL and cUL listings and CSFM approval. In addition, it suits use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D locations when used with appropriate Class I, Division 2 equipment.
