1.0 GENERAL:
The Addressable Paging Splitter module (SP4-APS) is designed to be used with Wheelock's SP40/2 SAFEPATH4 panel and
the SP4-TZC Zone Controller. The SP4-APS can also be mounted in SAFEPATH4 Audio Booster (SPB-160, SPB-80/4, and
SPB-320) panels. The SP4-APS provides a means for expanding one supervised audio output zone to four Class B or two
Class A supervised zones. The SP4-APS also provides two expansion outputs that can be used to add additional audio
booster modules in Class A or B configuration. The SP4-APS is UL Listed under Standard 864, Control Units for Fire
Protective Signaling Systems. It is for indoor use only.
One SP4-APS can be mounted inside the SP40/2 panel. The use of the Splitter Mounting Bracket (SPMB4Z) is required
when mounting the SP4-APS splitter(s) inside the Audio Booster panels.
The Addressable Paging Splitter module (SP4-APS) is also used to expand and distribute supervised telephone paging and
background music to selected zones when the SAFEPATH4 system is not in the alarm condition. When the SAFEPATH4
system is in the alarm condition all telephone paging and background music inputs are silenced and the emergency message
is broadcast on all zones. The SP4-APS is used with the Telephone Zone Controller (SP4-TZC) and controls the distribution
of the telephone paging and background music functions.
NOTE: Use of the Telephone Zone Controller (SP4-TZC) is supplementary.
The SP4-APS contains 16 LED indicators used to monitor and troubleshoot the module.
Refer to the Installation Instructions for the Telephone Zone Controller (SP4-TZC) P84567 when connecting the SP4-APS
