OPERATOR MANUAL

Warden Intercommunication Points (WIPs).

Remote warden phones are connected to the system via WIP modules. Each WIP
module provides six (6) individual WIP circuits. Each WIP circuit is supervised for
open/short circuit condition.

Strobe Control.

A strobe driver module provides outputs for driving up to three (3) sets of two strobe
circuits. A separate circuit is provided for the ALERT strobe and the EVAC strobe.
Each strobe circuit is rated at 2 amps/24VDC and can drive up to ten (10) strobes.

Emergency Alarm Initiating Device.

Break Glass Alarm modules (BGA) provide eight (8) separate inputs per module for
interfacing to remote Emergency Alarm Initiating manual call points. Each input is
supervised for open and short circuit conditions.

Power Supplies.

Modular 10 amp power supplies are utilised, each with their own in-built battery
monitoring /charger circuit. The power supply/charger can charge batteries up to
110AHr capacity. Multiple power supplies/chargers are used where systems require
larger power supplies/battery configuration.

Audio Features.

The 4100 Voice Communications option provides automatic alert and evacuation
messages over pre-programmed speaker circuits during an alarm condition. Alert or
Evacuation messages may also be manually initiated either to all areas of a building or
to specific areas within the building. The dedicated system microphone provides live
voice message delivery to any area within the building. Two-way communications is
available with the Warden Intercommunication Phone system.

Audio Control LED/Switch Modules.

Control of audio functions is performed by operating switches on LED/Switch modules,
which are mounted on the 4100 Front Panel. The functions and quantity of the
LED/Switch modules depend on the desired options and the number of zones in the
audio system. Labels are inserted into the slots on the LED/Switch modules to identify
the function of each switch and LED.
Standard switches on the Audio Control LED/Switch Module are momentary switches.
LED indicator modules are provided to annunciate alarm inputs from the Fire Indicating
Panel or Manual Call Point.

Fault Messages.

Fault messages from the audio system are shown on the alphanumeric display and
entered into the Fault Log. The operator uses the operator interface panel keys to
acknowledge the fault, silence the alarm, and reset the fault condition. The operator
can also use the panel keys to scroll through the fault history log or download the log to
a printer if installed on the system.
