Installation Installation ELECTROCUTION HAZARD: Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when making electrical connections, drilling holes, or lifting equipment. Therefore, experienced electricians, in accordance with national and local electrical codes, acting under the direction of the installation crew safety foreman, should perform installation.
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. There are two keyhole type slots and two pre-drilled holes for mounting, located on the back panel of the cabinet.
Installation structural integrity. Hollow Block Wall Mounting Guidelines Table 16 Hollow Block Wall Mounting Materials Material Description Purpose 1/4 in x 2 in Heavy Duty Toggle Bolts Anchor Bolts Mark the mounting hole locations on the wall for the cabinet. Install the anchor bolts for the four cabinet corners according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Installation Apply construction adhesive to the back of the mounting backboard. Attach the mounting backboard to the wall with #14 metal stud screws. 5. Locate the mounting position of the cabinet on the mounting backboard. 6. Drill pilot holes for the 1/4-inch lag bolts. Mount the cabinet to the mounting backboard.
Installation Grounding Requirements Review the following grounding requirements: • The UVRI-B cabinet must be properly connected to an earth ground. The cabinet contains an internal ground stud for making this connection. • If an outdoor antenna is used, install a separate antenna ground. •...
Installation 5. Connect the black line wire from the 15 A breaker to pin 3 of JP38, L1/HOT, on the UVRI-B control board. 6. Connect a green ground wire from the breaker panel earth ground to the ground stud in the UVRI-B cabinet and to pin 1 of JP38, GND, on the UVRI-B control board. 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.
Installation Local PA Audio Connections (J1 on the UVRI-B Control board) For local PA, plug the optional microphone (part number: MNC-MC) into the 1/4 inch jack (J1) on the UVRI-B control board. Mount the microphone on the microphone clip located on the access panel.
Installation Use a twisted pair wire run to the connecting equipment which should have a balanced 600 ohm output. Keep the cable length as short as possible and run away from sources of electrical noise. The input works best with an input level between 200 to 2,000 mV .

Installing the Antenna Turning on the Power To turn the power on: Verify all wiring is completed in the previous sections and that the connections are tight and secure. Connect the battery supply wires to the control board with the pluggable connector at JP36.
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: Fill out the ICM-UV Checklist to document the following inspections and tests. See Appendix A.
Pre-operational System Configuration and Testing Equipment Required • Service Monitor • Oscilloscope Setup Connect the radio to the service monitor. Receive Audio Adjustment To receive audio adjustment: Using service monitor, modulate the correct RF signal into the receiver with a 1 kHz tone at 3 kHz deviation.
Operations Operations Communications Link When the UVRI-B is equipped with a communications interface, the following interface parameters require configuration: Unit Type, RF Frequency, Security Key, 128/256-bit Encryption Key, Site Address, and Configuration Jumper Settings. Unit Type The Federal Signal Commander System requires configuration based on the communications method.

Operations Digital Voice Recording When purchased, the Digital Voice option adds a microSD card that is capable of storing up to 4,093 voice or tone messages that total up to 17 hours of total recording time. File Format The digital voice message format is 8000 samples per second, 8 bit, mono. Save these messages with a DV#.wav naming format or the messages are not recognized.
Operations Alternatively, with the speakers plugged into the amplifiers: Turn the DV GAIN pot fully (25 turns) counter clockwise. Play the stored tone function. Monitor the amplifiers output level. Turn up the DV GAIN pot until 23 V is reached. NOTE: It is important to start by turning the DV GAIN pot down to a low level and work your way up to prevent overdriving the amplifiers and speakers.
Manual Activation If configured, use the manual activation switches to activate siren functions. Buttons are located on the Control Board.

Use sensor inputs to detect and notify conditions occurring at an RTU location. Table 31 Sensor Connections JP24 Terminal Function...
Applications Status Monitoring The UVRI-B uses a variety of sensors to communicate its status back to the Federal Signal Commander System. This alerts personnel of potential issues at the UVRI-B unit. The UVRI-B monitors power, battery, door opening, amplifier status and other important system components.
Maintenance Fire Panel Interface The UVRI-B is designed to interface with a UL2572 fire panel for control, monitoring, and activation of a Mass Notification System. Use the UVRI-B in military, industrial, and campus environments where interfacing Federal Signal outdoor warning into a fire panel is required.
Maintenance General Maintenance Checking Signal Operational To check signal operation: When checking for proper control module output, unplug the terminal strip connector to the speakers to eliminate output from the speaker array. Activate each of the signals and observe the signal indicators on the control module and the amplifiers.
Troubleshooting Remove the battery bracket and then remove the battery. 5. Reassemble in the reverse order of these steps. Troubleshooting Table 32 Troubleshooting Problem Action No Radio Decode • Unit is not programmed to recognize that particular code sequence or signal is not being received properly. •...
