The Siemens MTH-R is a red multi-tone horn for fire alarm notification, part number 500-636076. Specifically, it is a wall- or ceiling-mount audible appliance in the Siemens Series MTH family. As a result, it delivers loud, code-compliant evacuation signaling for commercial buildings.
The MTH-R offers eight field-selectable alarm tones. These include Horn, Bell, March Time Horn, Code-3 Horn, Code-3 Tone, Slow Whoop, Siren, and Hi/Lo. In addition, tone selection uses a durable DIP-switch assembly rather than clips or jumpers. The Code-3 patterns meet the ANSI/NFPA temporal pattern for standard emergency evacuation signaling.
Siemens MTH-R Key Features
- Eight field-selectable tones via DIP-switch assembly
- Two field-selectable sound output levels: Standard and High dBA
- High setting delivers 92 dBA minimum anechoic output at 10 feet (horn tone, nominal voltage)
- Code-3 horn and tone meet the ANSI/NFPA temporal pattern
- In/out wiring terminals accept two #12 to #18 AWG wires per terminal
- Polarized inputs for standard reverse-polarity supervision
- Flush or surface mounting with no visible mounting holes or screw heads
- UL 464 Listed and ULC Listed; FM and CSFM Approved

Compatibility
The MTH-R is UL Listed as a Special Application appliance. Therefore, Siemens intends it for use only with Siemens notification appliance circuits. For example, it pairs with Siemens 50-, 252-, and 504-point addressable panels and FireFinder XLS systems. It also works with PAD-4 and PAD-5 NAC extenders. However, horn/strobe versions are available as MTH-MC-R (500-636078) if visible signaling is required.
