Thank you for choosing the Public Address option for your Code Blue application. Public
Address is a centralized amplifier-based system designed to provide voice paging and
broadcast alarm tones during emergencies. The system can transmit alarm tones and voice
messages in a reliable and safe manner from a central location to all or selected areas of the
facility via loudspeakers. The entire operational area can be divided into one or more zones,
which can be accessed independently either for announcements or alarm broadcasting.
Loudspeakers are installed in these zones. There are no limitations to the number of zones in a
system or number of loudspeakers in each zone. The system is designed to offer clear
reproduction of sound and intelligibility, even in high noise areas.

This manual contains all of the Code Blue PAS information needed on the CB 1 series with
Public Address, CB 5-s with Public Address, WM-180 Public Address System, CB 2-e with
Public Address and 360 PAS retrofit top. This manual contains a general overview of the Code
Blue PAS options and its application, installation and wiring.

 Large diameter towers; analog or IP

 An excellent choice when instant mass notification of a geographic area is essential. The

unique six-speaker design delivers optimal audio source dispersion utilizing state-of-the­art amplifiers and horn array.

 Small diameter towers

 Exclusively designed as an emergency communication system to deliver maximum

audio clarity and range to ensure notifications are accurately broadcast to your intended
audience.

 Wall or pole mount; analog or IP

 An excellent choice for parking decks, dorm entrances, hallways and public transit

centers where instant mass notification of a geographic area is essential.

 PAS top kit for existing standard CB 1 series towers in the field to provide public address

capabilities.

 The unique six-speaker design delivers optimal audio source dispersion utilizing state-of-

the-art amplifiers and horn array.

 Wall or pole mount option remotely adds public address capabilities to new or existing

CB units.

 By adding an analog or IP controller board, you enable the WM-180 to be directly man-

aged by Code Blue’s Blue Alert® MNS (Mass Notification System) software, granting the
user messaging options. The controller also monitors the amplifier and speaker for
various failures, which are reported to the appropriate maintenance personnel, and
allows the user to call a single WM-180 unit for a targeted message.
