Enhanced Universal Tone Module Features 32 Tones


UNIVERSITY PARK, IL - May 2002. Federal Signal Electrical Products Group has introduced a new version of its popular Universal Tone Module ("SelecTone® UTM") a microprocessor-based tone module capable of producing any one of 32 different tones, including eight unique European-style tones. The UTM is used to generate tones in a single SelecTone Speaker/Amplifier or for plant wide signaling in a SelecTone Command Center. SelecTone is the Company's extensive line of plant-wide audible signaling devices that provide multiple tone, public address, and digital messaging capabilities. The expanded UTM is 100% backward compatible with all Federal Signal SelecTone products, making it easy and cost effective for current SelecTone users to add new tones to existing systems, and for new users to get time-proven SelecTone systems with the newest, state-of-the-art tone technology. SelecTone, first introduced in 1970, has become the leading audible signaling and evacuation system for industry because of its versatility, reliability and tone quality.

"The UTM provides a crisp, clear, dependable signal, which can be easily changed by the user to distinguish alarm tones from other noise in the environment, and our customers like having such a large choice of tones," says Rebecca Malley, Marketing Manager for Federal Signal. Tone selection is accomplished by setting five DIP switches in any one of 32 configurations. The choice of 32 includes standard and specialty tones with a variety of whoops, stutters, sweeps, sirens, bells, buzzers, ringers and horns. The European tone styles include the distinctive Euro-general alarm, Euro-police, and Euro-toxic alarm signals.

Housed in a plastic cover impregnated with stainless steel fibers, the circuitry inside the unit is shielded from Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electro-magnetic Interference (EMI). The edge connector allows for quick and simple installation.
