To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than what is contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Always test the Informer before using after repairs have been made. Informer Sensor/Radio Interface Unit (Model I-IPSIU)

Ethernet Wiring • Unless shielded or run in conduit, Ethernet wiring must be at least six feet from bare power wiring or lightning rods and associated wires, and at least six inches from other wire (for example, antenna wires, doorbell wires, wires from transformers to neon signs), steam or hot water pipes, and heating ducts.
An I-IPSIU can also interface a mobile or portable radio for broadcast of alert messages over the radio system. The I-IPSIU has carrier detect capability to delay broadcast until the radio system is idle.
• Scrolling message display, part number I-SMD2-36 (See Table 14.) • Radio Interface Cables. The Universal Cable Adapter is provided with each I-IPSIU. Find the proper cable for your radio system and order separately. (See Table 5.) I-IPSIU Main Components...
Route the DC power cord through the strain relief located next to the digital input and plug into the I-IPSIU. Plug the DC power supply into a 120 Vac outlet after all other connections have been made. The center connector connects to the positive lead on the DC supply.
The audio output level is adjustable from 0 to 2.5 V into 600 ohms with 1 kHz tone. A removable eight-position connector is located on the rear of the I-IPSIU for making electrical connections. The connector accepts 5 mm (3/16 in) stripped wire, 18-26 AWG.
C.D./Rear Input for Carrier Detect. If audio is provided use the Audio input for Carrier Detect. Audio from the I-IPSIU to the radio uses JP3 pins 1 and 2. PTT from the I-IPSIU to the radio uses JP3 pins 3 and 4.
4. Place within six feet of an AC power receptacle to eliminate the need for an extension cord unless a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection is available. Rack Mounting The I-IPSIU is designed for 19-inch rack mount. Attach the bracket to the I-IPSIU with supplied screws. Figure 3 Attach Bracket...
120 Vac, 60 Hz outlet. Plug the low voltage end of the cord into the power jack located at the rear of the I-IPSIU. Route the cord to ensure it is protected against walking on, tripping over or pinching the cord.
120 Vac, 60 Hz outlet. Plug the low-voltage end of the cord into the power jack located at the rear of the I-IPSIU. Route the cord to ensure it is protected against walking on, tripping over or pinching the cord.
Replacement Parts Replacement Parts The I-IPSIU uses one of these two types of connectors: one with slots or one without slots. Match the 8-pin connector of your Informer to the picture below and order the corresponding part number. Table 13 Replacement Connectors Part Numbers...
