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.

Designed specifically for schools, hospitals, corporate and municipal campuses looking for an
efficient way to detect and respond, Blue Alert MNS (Mass Notification System) fills a need in
the marketplace for an incident response solution that is both comprehensive and cost­effective. Blue Alert MNS provides emergency notifications over audio, visual and messaging
platforms at the touch of a button. The result is a sophisticated software solution that quickly
informs and directs people in emergency situations. Blue Alert MNS is available in two
editions, Audio/Visual and Messaging, or together in the Blue Alert MNS Professional
Package.

Blue Alert EMS (Event Management System) handles all incoming emergency and non­emergency events with an easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI). Effectively utilize EMS
for remote operation of Code Blue emergency communication devices. Open gates and AED
access doors, turn LED beacon/strobe lights on or off, transfer calls to the Public Address
System to make area-wide announcements and incorporate other ancillary devices and
applications. Have a camera connected to your Code Blue unit or one mounted nearby?
Simply integrate EMS with your CCTV system for instant video when the units are activated.
Blue Alert EMS utilizes an advanced API for efficient integration with third party applications.

ToolVox UPD (Unit Programming & Diagnostics) software provides a user-friendly, web-based
GUI (Graphical User Interface) for the administration of all Code Blue units.

Unit Programming, UPD’s unique phone management feature, allows the user to easily
establish the functionality desired on one phone and copy all settings to additional units as
needed. In addition, audio files can be created at a PC and stored on the server. Different
messages can then be uploaded to each phone or the same audio file can be used on
multiple phones, eliminating the need to call each phone individually and re-record messages.
Once settings are complete, simply “Click to Program,” or select assorted units and choose
“Program All Units” to apply operational parameters.

The Diagnostic section of the software package is capable of testing all on-site Code Blue
units for functionality at any specified time daily, weekly or on a specified day and time. This
flexibility tailors testing at predetermined intervals to confirm the phones are working 24/7.

Please contact Code Blue Technical Support if you do not see your issue below.

7.1.1.1
Try a new test call.

Remove the control cable from the amp. This will turn the amp on at all times.

Test power from the transformer to the amp. 7.1.1.2

Check the 5 amp slow blow inline fuse between the transformer and 5-finger 7.1.2.1

manifold.

Check power connector at the 5 finger manifold and the red/black power wire 7.1.2.2

from the strobe.

Short the yellow relay wires from the strobe to test strobe functionality. If the 7.1.2.3

strobe flashes, check programming in the IA4100/IP5000 speakerphone.

For CB 1 or 5 units, verify that you have 120V AC to the transformer. 7.1.3.1

For CB 2-e units, verify that you have either Hi-Voltage to the power brick or 24V 7.1.3.2

AC to the unit if low voltage only.

For WM-180° units, verify you have 24V AC to the unit 7.1.3.3

First, adjust the volume in the IA4100/IP5000 programming. On the IA4100, the 7.1.4.1
in-call command for increasing the volume is 28. To decrease the volume, the in-call
command is 29. On the IP5000, the Public Address Gain can be changed under hardware
settings.

The input gain also can be adjusted manually on the amplifier using the input gain 7.1.4.2
dial.
