Prepare a System Wiring Diagram Using Section 3-4 (Page 3-8), prepare a complete system-wiring diagram. Keep a copy of the system-wiring diagram with the SP40/2 manual as a permanent record of the system wiring. Unpack and Inventory Carefully unpack the SP40/2 panel and make sure each item described on the packing slip is present and undamaged.
The strobe appliance circuit consists of a NAC (9 to 31VDC) input and a supervised NAC (24VDC) Output. As described in Table 3-1 on Page 3-3, the strobe output provides a synchronized output for compatible Wheelock, Inc. synchronized strobes. When a synchronized signal from a previous module is used open Jumper W2 (See Figure 3-15, Page 3-15).
IN3. (See Figure 3-15 on Page 3-15). Positions 1, 2, and 3 control the strobe initiation for inputs IN1, IN2, and IN3 respectively. Positioned in the ON or up position causes the strobes to operate during message playback. Position 4 (OFF) selects the Wheelock Sync Mode. Section 4...
NOTE: Amplifier noise can be reduced by placing a jumper wire between the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the Background Music Input (BGM) and/or the Telephone Page Input (TEL) when these inputs are not in use. If the BGM is being used and the TEL is not, place a jumper wire on the TEL input.
4. Set the multimeter to the AC Volts scale, which is capable of reading 300mV RMS. 5. Connect the multimeter across the BGM terminals on the SP40/2. 6. Adjust the output control of the audio source to obtain a reading of 300mV RMS on the multimeter.

Checkout Procedure CAUTION: Connect the AC power source before connecting the battery backup power. Disconnect the battery backup power before disconnecting the AC power source NOTE: All switches, jacks and jumpers are illustrated in Figure 3-15 on Page 3-15. 1. Connect AC power, then connect battery backup. NOTE: When the AC power source is applied to the panel, the battery voltage check circuitry is activated.
8. Apply 24VDC from TB1 (Figure 3-13 on Page 3-13 ) to TB4 (IN1) connection (Figure 3-5 on Page 3-6 ). Message should be heard from output speaker circuit. 9. The strobe circuit associated with the first message can also be tested by switching DIP switch SW2 (DV/Strobe Select), position 1 “ON”.
Section 3-7 – Ground Fault Detection Ground fault detection sensitivity is 600K Ohms for Class B, Style Y connections. If ground fault detection is not desired, remove jumper W6. See Figure 3-15 on page 3-15 for location. Section 3-8 – Battery Care and Backup Battery Calculations Care of Sealed Lead Acid Batteries Sealed lead acid batteries are designed to operate in standby service for approximately five years.
It is necessary to calculate the current draw for battery backup requirement. The current requirement depends on the system configuration and the appliances connected to the Strobe and Speaker output NAC circuits. Battery Backup current has two separate calculations that are added together.
WARNING: ALWAYS APPLY AC VOLTAGE BEFORE APPLYING BATTERY BACKUP VOLTAGE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SP40/2 PANEL. AC Power Installation Procedure 1. Using Figure 3-16 below, connect the line and neutral 120VAC input wiring to the L (Line) and N (Neutral) terminals on the terminal block in the upper left corner of the chassis.
