Page 7: Introduction
Introduction Remote SAFEPATH provides remote amplification and remote live announcement capabilities to a centrally located SAFEPATH panel. Remote SAFEPATH is capable of providing up to four zones of audible and visual signals. Figure 1 illustrates the basic capabilities of the remote SAFEPATH panel. This manual describes the remote SAFEPATH panel, which features: •... -
Page 8: Operation
Operation This chapter describes the operating characteristics of the remote SAFEPATH panel. Included is information about the following features: • Operator's Console • Input and Output Options • Supervision • Operators Instructions • Back-up Battery Requirements Operator's Console An operator's console, which allows for manual override of the automatic message playing, is provided. The operator's console includes a microphone, an "ACKNOWLEDGE"... - Page 9 Microprocessor Supervision Each microprocessor within this panel has a watchdog circuit that supervises the processor and resets it (if necessary) or maintains a trouble condition if the microprocessor cannot be restarted. Each watchdog circuit constantly monitors the functioning of its microprocessor and, if the microprocessor fails to function properly, will attempt to reset and restart the microprocessor.

Page 10: Operator Instructions
Operator Instructions The SAFEPATH panel provides an operator console for manually activating the panel. The operator console includes a microphone, a green “NORMAL” indicator, a yellow “TROUBLE” indicator, an “ACKNOWLEDGE” push-button switch, a “RESET” push-button, a “MANUAL/AUTOMATIC” switch, an “ALL-CALL” switch and four “ZONE SELECT” switches. The operator interface allows the operator to manually override automatically playing pre-recorded messages with live announcements or an evacuation tone, to silence internal and external trouble audibles, and to ascertain if the panel has detected a trouble condition. -

Page 12: Power Calculations
Power Calculations It is necessary to calculate the current draw for battery back-up requirements. The current requirements depend on the system configuration and the options installed. The total current is the sum of the currents of all the components in the system. There are two different system current ratings: Standby Current Alarm Current... -
Page 13: Sample Calculation
Note 3: If no amplifier is installed in the slot then the current for that amplifier is zero. If there is an amplifier the alarm current depends on the model of the amplifier installed in the slot and the signal used for evacuation. Model Alarm Current full power SIN wave as per UL testing SALL-15S Series... -
