Please read this Manual completely before installing the HMB System.

INSTALLATION

Installer must insure that all wiring and devices installed in system meet the following standards:

National Electrical Code (NFPA 70)
NFPA Standard 72
Life Safety Code (NFPA 101)

Install equipment in a clean, dry environment, avoid installation where equipment could be subjected
to vibration. ** Make sure all Non-Power Limited cabling is separated from Power Limited

cabling.**

WIRING (Refer to wiring and terminal designation diagrams)

MASTER PANEL

1. Connect Netcom Bus between all panels. Maximum distance between panels is 4000’ (min 16
AWG) or 120 Ohms max. Impedance. See page 5 for wire type.

2. Connect AC power to master panel and then connect batteries.

3. Once power is on to the unit, connect battery wiring harness from the PWR power supply board TB­1 Red (+) / Black (-). Observe polarity. Minimum battery size is 7AHr. (Max 24 Ahr in a separate
Battery cabinet) (use 2 12V batteries connected in series) *See Master panel wiring diagram on page

6. *

NOTE: Wiring for batteries and 120 VAC is Non Power-Limited. Care must be taken to insure that all
Power-Limited wiring maintain a minimum spacing of ¼" from any Non Power-Limited wiring. If
batteries must be located in separate enclosure, provide separate conduit run for battery wiring only.

DISTRIBUTED PANELS
(Maximum number of Distributed Panels is 250 on a system)

1.Speaker circuits require an End of Line resistor for supervision. Attach a “reference value” EOLR for
the speaker circuits to TB9 - 1 & 2 on MBR board. This value must be placed at the end of the speaker
line as well. The system is shipped from the factory with 10kOhm ½ watt EOLR.

2. Connect all speaker loops (UL listed devices) to TB1 - TB4 along the top edge of the MBR mother
board in the Distributed panels. Fire Phone circuit connects to TB5.-TB6 on the left side of the MBR
Motherboard in the Distributed panels.

3. Connect 120 VAC, 60 Hz, power to the black and white pigtail leads from transformer primary.
Secure ground lead to grounding stud in cabinet located on the backplate.

4. Once all power and circuits are connected,
Silence' switch in the up position while the 'System Reset' switch is clicked twice. This will rerun the
'Power On Diagnostics' program. T
fully operational and all circuits are nominal. Observe the display during the reset, it will show how
many DP in the loop.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Typical battery life is approximately 3-5 years depending on usage. Always replace both
batteries with same amp hour ratings and of approximately the same age. Refer to the battery
manufacturer's specifications for the particular battery used.

System Operation

**Note** ALL panels in system are pre-programmed at the factory

Alarm When an input on the MX-II FACP Interface card is pulled down to circuit common

(0VDC), the Evacuation Signal and Message will be broadcast into the selected Evacuation
Zone. If 'Floor-Above/Floor-Below' has been enabled, the Evacuation Zone for the floor above
and the floor below the selected zone(s) will also be activated.

The floor(s) receiving the Alarm Tone/Message is displayed by a slow (2 second) flashing of the
LED associated with the Evacuation Zone on the Paging Control panel.

If 'Set Alert Non Fire Floors' has been enabled in programming, all floors not broadcasting the
Evacuation Signal and Message will begin broadcasting the Alert Signal and Message.

In addition, if the paging microphone is used and no Evacuation/Paging Zones have been
manually selected, paging will automatically be routed to those zones that are in alarm. The
Evacuation Signal will resume when paging is ended as will the Evacuation Message.

If an Evacuation/Paging Zone is selected manually, paging will take place in the selected zone,
or zones, only (operation if system was designed as “dual” channel)..

Within a single Distributed Panel, and due to the nature of Dual Channel systems using one
amplifier per channel, paging into an Evacuation/Paging Zone broadcasting the Alert Signal and
Message will silence the other zones also broadcasting the Alert Signal and Message if there is
also a zone broadcasting the Alarm Signal and Message. In other words, within a single
Distributed panel only two audible signals can be broadcast at one time, either Alarm and Alert
Signals, Alarm Signal and Paging or Alert Signal and Paging.

Paging When an Evacuation/Paging Zone is selected by the operator using the associated
switches on the Paging Control panel, the LED(s) will indicate which zone(s) have been selected.
The All-Call switch on the HMB Control panel will select all zones for paging when clicked once.
A second click of the All-Call switch will deselect all zones.

The Zone Selection switches indicate which zones have been selected for paging. Broadcast of
live voice messages does not take place until the Push-to-Talk switch on the microphone is
pressed.

Fire Phone When a Fire Phone Handset is plugged into a Fire Phone Jack, the LED on the Zone
Control panel associated with that Fire Phone zone will start flashing. A ringing signal will be
heard to indicate that a handset has been jacked in. The ringing signal will cease when the Fire
Phone Zone is selected.

Normally, only one Fire Phone Zone is selected at a time. Selecting another zone where a
handset is jacked in will deselect the other zone(s).

page 3

HMB Control Panel Refer to Master Panel Controls and Display diagram (Page 6).

The Control Panel status indicators are 'Alarm', 'Fault' and 'Power'.

During 'Power On Diagnostics', the system is scanned for active Distributed Panels and
peripherals. The Message Display indicates how many Distributed Panels have been found and
all event buffers are cleared.

The 'Power' indicator is on as long as there is power available to the HMB Master Panel.

The 'Alarm' indicator will be on whenever an Evacuation Signal or Alert Signal is active.

The 'Fault' indicator will be on (blinking) whenever a fault has occurred in the HMB system. The
Message display will indicate a code for the fault that has occurred. In addition, the audible fault
signal will be active (beep tone)as long as the fault persists. The 'Fault Silence' switch can be used
to silence the audible fault indication, but the visual indicator can only be cleared by an HMB
system Reset. If the fault is cleared manually the yellow led indicator can be cleared with a single
click of the reset switch.

The 'All-Call' switch will select all available Evacuation/Paging zones on the Paging/Zone Control
panel when clicked. Individual paging zones may be deselected using the Paging/Zone Control
switches, but a second click of the 'All-Call' switch will deselect the remainder.

The 'System Reset' switch will clear the Master Panel back to it's power on condition but will not
cause the system to rerun the 'Power On Diagnostics' program (see 'Global Reset' below). After
the 'System Reset' has run its course any Evacuation or Alert Signal that has been input will be re­processed.

The 'System Reset' switch must be clicked twice within a two second interval to take effect.

A 'Global Reset' can be initiated by holding the "Fault Silence' switch in the up position while the
'System Reset' switch is clicked twice. This will rerun the 'Power On Diagnostics' program.
Observe the message display during the reset. It will display +0 then the number of Distributed
panels in the communication loop of the HMB system.

When a unit goes into a Trouble Condition, the Yellow LED wil remain on until the trouble is cleared. The Green
LED will flash a Code to indicate the type of Trouble Condition. There will be a pause between repeats of the
code. When multiple Trouble Conditions occur at the same time, the codes will add together.

The number of flashes and associated Trouble Condition are listed below.

Code Trouble Code Trouble

1 Power Failure 8 Amplifier Trouble
2 Open Speaker Circuit 16 Microphone Trouble
4 Shorted Speaker Circuit 32 Battery Trouble
6 External Trouble / Ground Fault

* 6 flashes typically indicates “External Trouble”, such as an EVX-RM. If LED 4 is on, the 6 flash indicates a ground fault.
If both a ground fault condition and an external trouble occur simultaneously, the fault codes will not combine for 12 flash.

Communications Bus: The communications bus conforms to the RS-485 standard and requires the use of

UTP- cable for 1M Baud data rates. Wiring must be run in conduit in a daisy chain from the Master Panel to
the first Dist. Panel, from each Dist. Panel to the next Dist. Panel and from the last Dist. Panel back to the
Master Panel. When style 7 wiring is used, a separate conduit for each bus must be used.

Voltage: 5V peak-to-peak max.
Current: 50mA max.
Impedance: 120 Ohms
(max. imp. between panels)
Frequency: 1.024MHz

Power Requirements: Power supplied to the DCC module is routed to any attached peripherals. These
peripherals in turn determine whether the DCC is part of a Master Panel or a Dist. Panel. Amplifier modules
in Dist. Panel are powered separately and provide 24 VDC power to the panel.

*Battery input current measurements are determined by test conditions. Two values are shown. First value reflects the unit with a full speaker load and no auxiliary load.
Second value reflects the unit with a full speaker load and a full auxiliary load of 0.5A in Standby and 0.75A in Alarm. Your actual load will vary depending on which and
how many auxiliary devices, ie...Zone Splitter, Remote Mic, Relays,...etc., are used. Insure that any current draw from an aux device is added into your final battery
calculation.

**Input current measurements are determined by test conditions under UL 1711. Sine represents measurements made while the unit produces a continuous non-distorted
sine wave of 1 KHz into the rated load of 25 / 50 / 100W at rated output voltage. Alarm is the average current the unit experiences delivering an alarm signal, Temporal
Whoop, to the rated load. Standby is the current draw of the unit with all normal power on and aux., terminals fully loaded. Battery Standby is current draw from the
batteries on loss of power and otherwise normal standby.

TESTING

Per NFPA 72 Chapter 7, 100% system test is required, at a minimum, annually. Additional testing may be required by the Local
Jurisdiction.
