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.
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.
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.

The UVRI-B requires a 120 Vac or 240 Vac 50 to 60 Hz power source to power the UVRI-B and charge the internal 12 V battery. You can configure the UVRI-B to be powered from 24 Vdc. UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Installation You can use several methods to activate the UVRI-B. Use the manual activation buttons and a hand-held microphone to activate the UVRI-B locally. Use landline control through normally open contact switches. Make connections directly to the controller terminal block. Activate the UVRI-B remotely through the optional radio receiver or an external 600 ohm audio source.
Installation General Mounting Guidelines Use good installation methods and follow local ordinances for mounting cabinet. These general installation instructions are pertinent to all installations. Specific mounting methods and required installation materials are described in the next section. 1. There are two keyhole type slots and two pre-drilled holes for mounting, located on the back panel of the cabinet.
Material Description Purpose 1/4 in x 2 in lag bolts Cabinet mounting bolts 2 ft x 2 ft B/C or better plywood Mounting backboard #14 x 2 in metal stud screws Backboard mounting Construction adhesive Backboard mounting UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Installation 1. Locate the wall studs for attaching the Mounting Backboard to the wall. 2. Mark the wall stud location on the mounting backboard and drill pilot holes for the #14 metal stud screws. Place three screws in each stud evenly spaced apart. 3.
UVRI-B cabinet and to pin 1 of JP38, GND, on the UVRI-B control board. 7. To avoid shorting the output of the charger, do not apply AC power to the UVRI-B controller before making the battery connections described later in this section. UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Installation Wiring Guidelines for 240 Vac Electrical Service Review the following wiring guidelines: 1. Install a dedicated 15 A breaker in an existing breaker panel or install a new breaker panel if necessary for the UVRI-B. 2. Install conduit from the beaker panel to a conduit entrance in the bottom of the UVRI-B.
External 20 to 28 Vdc can be connected to JP23 with the (+) connected to pin #1 and the (-) to pin #4. The unit may draw up to 7 Amps at full power. Contact Federal Signal for information regarding 24 Vdc use. UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Installing the Antenna 600 Ohm I/O Connections (JP8 on the UVRI-B Control board) Control Connections Use terminal block JP8 on the UVRI-B control board for making connections to 600 ohm balanced audio equipment such as a direct connection to an SS2000+ or other type of control and status monitoring equipment.
2. Find the proper element dimension chart for your antenna, within the antenna instructions, and trim each element according to your operating frequency. Use care to trim equal lengths from each end of each element ensuring that the mounting hole is at the center. UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Page 39
Installing the Antenna NOTE A: Proper trimming and adjustment is critical to the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio, known as VSWR. (High reflected power levels decrease forward power. The life of the radio and transmit capabilities are dependent upon the VSWR being low as possible).

DMM not having the ability to check the cable at high frequencies). If that does not take care of the problem, replace the antenna. UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Installing the Antenna Installing the Omni Fiberglass Antenna Models NOTE: No tuning is required for this model. “Figure 9 Omni Antenna Installation Example” on page 42. To install the Omni antenna, do the following: 1. Install antenna, (using installation bracket or equivalent) as high as possible, such that the antenna cable and obstacles allows, and install on side of pole closest to the receiving station.
Pre-operational System Configuration and Testing Pre-operational System Configuration and Testing The following procedures should be performed by a properly trained technician to ensure the equipment is operating properly. Visual Inspection To conduct a visual inspection: 1. Fill out the Field Test Data Sheet to document the following inspections and tests. See Appendix A.
2. Test the control and status monitoring features from each control point. Test each control function and all status indications using Commander. Verify each status point provides the proper indication of both pass and fail conditions. UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Operations Operations Manual Activation If configured, use the manual activation switches to activate siren functions. Buttons are located on the Control Board.

The UVRI-B monitors power, battery, door opening, amplifier status and other important system components. The UVRI-B includes an external fault indicator when any of the following occur: battery voltage, charger fault, AC power, intrusion, amplifier/line faults, UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Applications audio A and B. Quiet Test The Federal Signal Commander System can manually or automatically activate Quiet Test for verification of system operation. Quiet Test uses a 20 kHz tone to test tone generators and optional amplifiers. To configure the quiet test, see the Federal Signal Commander Manual.
5. Verify that the system status is reported correctly at the control point. Check each status point to verify both pass and fail conditions are correctly reported. Verify that the relay output closes with each function activated. UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Troubleshooting Checking the Battery To check the battery: 1. Remove AC power and measure the DC voltage across the DC input connector on the control board. If the battery has been charging for at least 24 hours, this voltage should be above 12.75 Vdc. 2.
