The Strobe Appliance Circuit consists of a NAC (8 to 33VDC) input and supervised NAC (regulated 27VDC) output. The strobe output provides a synchronized output for compatible Cooper Notification, synchronized strobes. When a synchronized signal from a previous module is used, turn OFF SW9-position 1. This action also allows for pass-through of the synchronized NAC Circuit on the RET connections.
Position 10 of SW3 in the ON position initiates the strobe circuit during an AUX activation. Position 2 (ON) of SW9 selects the Cooper Notification Sync Mode during an alarm strobe activation. 4.4.5 Installing Audio Output Connections 1.
Installation 4.4.6 Installing Auxiliary Circuit Connections Refer to the Remote MIC or RMX Installation Manual for proper connections from 24V OUT, AUX IN, and CC/NAC to these products. All connections to these products are made from TB6. 4.4.7 Installing Audio Input Connections The SP40S panel has thirteen inputs.
Installation The Telephone Page input requires input from a Telephone Page Port. The Night Ring input requires a dry contact closure. The Background Music input requires a line level, 600 Ohm, 1Vrms signal. for TB5’s location. Figure 10 1. Connect Telephone Page Input (TEL) to TB5. See Figure 16 is an enlarged picture of the referred area.
Installation 4.4.10 Setting Adjustable Audio BGM Sources NOTE: Use a good multi-meter that provides true RMS readings in the AC voltage scale and calculates the results through average sampling. Some multi-meters can select instant or average sampling readings. Always do this adjustment in the “averaging” mode. Most digital multi-meters use the average sampling method in the “AC Volts RMS”...
Installation 4. Check the integrity of all field wiring. Confirm that the specified cable is installed, and that there is continuity between required points (no open circuits), with no unwanted shorts to other conductors, chassis, or earth ground. a) Verify that the field wiring complies with the instructions of this manual and the detailed wiring diagram prepared for this installation.
Installation WARNING: ROUTE ALL SP40S MULTI-FUNCTION FACILITY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AUDIO WIRING AWAY FROM ANY HIGH VOLTAGE OR HIGH CURRENT WIRING (SUCH AS AC OR DC POWER WIRING, AUDIO POWER WIRING, AND MOTOR OR RELAY ACTUATION WIRING). FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
The output meets Class B supervision requirements for notification appliance circuits. To meet Class A requirements, a Cooper Notification splitter (SP4-A/B or SP4-APS) is required. For the audio output circuit, install a UL Listed 10K Ohm, ½ W EOLR installed across the last notification appliance.
Installation UL LISTED 10K OHM, 1/2 W AUDIO END OF LINE RESISTOR Figure 19 Wiring Diagram for Audio Only Notification Appliance Output CAUTION: Do not loop wire under terminals. Break wire run to provide supervision of the connection. 4.5.7 Wiring the Alarm Output Contact The location of the Alarm Output Connections (TB1) is shown in Figure 10.
Installation 4.5.8 Wiring the System Trouble Connections The locations of the System Trouble (Trouble Status Output) Connections (TB2) are shown in Figure 10. A magnified view of this area on the motherboard is shown in Figure 21. Wire gauge selection of the system Trouble Status output contact wiring involves consideration of all factors including, wire length, maximum current capacity, and maximum voltage drop allowable.
Installation 5. If applicable, connect the strobe circuit to TB12 STB OUT. Verify that the strobe circuit has a UL Listed 10K Ohm, ½ W EOLR. 6. If Strobe synchronization is to be defeated, turn OFF positions 1 and 2 of SW9 Strobe Synchronization Defeat.
Installation 2. Test the strobe circuit associated with the first message by switching DIP switch SW3 (DV/Strobe Select), position 1 “ON.” The STB LED on the interface (Red) turns “ON.” If the strobe circuit is attached to TB11, strobes flash. 3.
Installation 4.6.2.5 E Night Ring Test Test Night Ring by shorting NR connection TB5 (Figure 16). The chime sound should be heard from the output speaker circuit. 4.6.2.6 F Telephone Page Test If the Telephone Page circuit is used, make a telephone page from the phone system. The page should be heard from the AUDIO OUT speaker circuit.
Installation The case and cover of the batteries are ABS plastic resin, which may suffer damage from these chemicals. DO NOT install batteries in a heavy vibration or shock location. ALWAYS wear insulated gloves when handling batteries. DO NOT use together batteries of different capacities, age, or manufacture. WARNING: DO NOT CRUSH, INCINERATE, OR DISMANTLE BATTERIES.
Installation 2. Calculate speaker output current by totaling all the speaker wattage settings. Multiply the sum by 0.040. The result is the current draw in Amps. 3. Add the strobe current, the speaker current, and auxiliary current together. The result is the total Alarm Current in Amps.
