    Activating the sirens may not result in people taking the desired actions if those to be warned are not properly trained about the meaning of siren sounds. Siren users should follow FEMA recommendations and instruct those to be warned of correct actions to be taken. UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
  • Page 9 Safety Messages • After installation, service, or maintenance, test the siren system to confirm that it is operating properly. Test the system regularly to confirm that it will be operational in an emergency. • If future service and operating personnel do not have these instructions to refer to, the siren system may not provide the intended audible warning and service personnel may be exposed to death, permanent hearing loss, or other bodily injury.
  • Page 10: General Description

    General Description General Description Introduction The UltraVoice Remote Interface unit (UVRI-B) provides remote extension of Federal Signal indoor and outdoor warning systems. The UVRI-B is available with a number of standard and optional features to allow efficient and cost-effective alerting and notification.
  • Page 11: Models Description

    General Description Operation is supervised and status information is transferred back to the control station(s) through one or more available communications networks. The UVRI-B monitors the audio output level and the Remote Activation input to verify proper operation. Remote Fire Alarm and PA systems provide a contact closure to indicate proper operation. The control board is powered from 120 or 240 Vac with 12 Vdc battery backup.
