  • Page 11: System Overview

    System Overview Introduction The Zetron IP Fire Station Alerting system (IP FSA) has been specifically designed to speed the dispatch of emergency vehicles, to aid in tracking their status, and to provide remote control and sense capability at each fire station. This system is ideal for any municipality that has IP links between its central communications center and its fire stations.

  • Page 12: Features

    • The IP FSA system is easy to integrate with radio dispatch console systems • Provides integration to computer aided dispatch (CAD) systems using either through a serial port (using M26 CAD protocol) or through a network port (using XML CAD protocol) • IP FSA is NFPA 1221-compliant for dispatch systems 025-9581M...

    (optionally, one Model 6204 unit d also be installed at each fire station to support additional units) Note FSA Server should be running on a computer dedicated to FSA- related software. This computer should not be running any third- party software or other Zetron software that is not related to FSA.

    In a typical scenario, the Station Transponder Unit unmutes the station PA and plays the alert tones associated with the station or unit being alerted. If any relays have been programmed to accompany the alert, they will be energized as well. 025-9581M...

  • Page 21: Panel Description

    Station Transponder Unit Functions The Station Transponder Unit keeps the PA open after it plays the alert tones and signals the IP FSA Server that the PA is available for a voice announcement. The current status of units is indicated on the front panel of Station Transponder Units with a column of LEDs for each unit.

  • Page 22: Communication Interface

    When configured as Trunking interface, the Station Transponder Unit interprets the COR input as an “OK to transmit” signal rather than a “channel is busy” signal. Along with these special hardware circuits, there are a number of user-configurable software parameters for setting up and optimizing this interface. 025-9581M...

  • Page 23: Pa Control

    Station Transponder Unit Functions PA Control The Station Transponder Unit has two dedicated relays for controlling a Fire Station PA system.

Because the Model 6203 and Model 6204 are very similar in construction and internal layout, only the Model 6203 will be described here. If anything that is specific to the Model 6204 needs to be described, it will be identified as such.

However, it is likely that at least one or two stations will need to have their levels adjusted to provide optimum output. This section of the manual deals with adjusting the audio levels in individual Station Transponder Units and at the VoIP Server (if the VoIP option is used to distribute voice traffic through the system).
