The PowerTone Model ASHX is a hazardous location, continuous duty,
polarized, 24 Volt dc, indoor/outdoor rated, high output (with internal

with different tone settings may be used (see table 2). In addition, one of

generated tone or voice signals (see table 2) from a remote audio
amplifier. This model is suitable for use in NEC hazardous locations

positioning to obtain desired sound coverage.
