General Description

General Description

Overview

The Informer15 Speaker is a 15-watt, IP-enabled indoor and outdoor speaker. The
Informer15 can be used as a warning and alert device with both audible and visual
indicators. The audible capabilities include locally stored high-quality, high-powered
tones and voice messages. The visual indicators include the use of message board/
scrolling display sign support, strobes, lights, and beacons. The Informer15 can be
equipped with up to four local initiation devices (switches) to activate the unit locally and
to the Commander® controller for mass notication communications.

The Informer15 Speaker has an internal 15-watt amplier/driver to deliver tone warnings

and intelligible voice messages from Informer15 stored memory. The Informer15 also has
several unique capabilities when working with the Federal Signal Commander software.

Using Commander software, the Informer15 can play text-to-speech, stream WAV les

or can broadcast live PA. In addition, Commander software can perform a talk/listen to
individual Informer15’s to allow call box type communications. The Informer15 also has
remote volume control for optimizing sound levels across your alerting area. The remote
volume control also includes an ambient-noise-monitoring capability to automatically
adjust volume depending on external noise levels.

The Informer15 allows connection of up to four external switches to activate predened
alert events. The Informer15 can be programmed and congured as a standalone device

to only use the inputs to activate the Informer15. This may be useful if the location has
no network connectivity, but where voice and tone alerts from locally activated inputs is
required. The Informer15 can be networked later and the activations can be brought into
the Commander system for full system capability. When the Informer15 is networked
using the Commander software, alerts initiated at the Informer15 can be used to activate
other devices. The Commander software system can also alert emergency personnel via
email, SMS, and handheld radios using optional messaging software.

The Informer15 includes one output to control the visual indicator and output to activate
external relay, which can be used to control external devices. The Informer15 has two
1/2-inch NPT opening on the bottom of the speaker for simple installation of pipe­mount devices. The openings allow access to LAN, open collector output, and activation

inputs. The Commander system allows multiple congurations for activation of the open

collector output or visual indicator during alerts.

The Informer15 is designed for outdoor use and large indoor structures. It is powered
from the local switch through PoE. All wiring interfaces are accessible via internal
connectors and built-in NPT entrances for quick and easy installation.

The Informer15 Speaker is a perfect addition to existing notication systems where lack

of coverage exists. The unit can be used as a call station where emergency alert buttons
are required.

Opening the Housing

Tools required: Phillips head screwdriver

To open the housing, loosen the two cover screws while supporting the cover so it does
not fall. (The cover screws are retained in the housing.) Carefully remove the visual
indicator cable to allow the cover to be removed.

Wiring to the Control Board

To wire the Control Board:

1. If networking the Informer15 to Commander, use the LAN interface to provide both
IP communication and PoE from the switch.

The Informer15 Speaker has an 8 pin Ethernet port for connecting to the network.

Ethernet wire runs must be less than 328 feet from the nearest network switch. Do
not install in a conduit carrying high voltage. The wired Ethernet port auto-negotiates

a 10/100, full or half duplex connection and provides PoE to the Informer15 Speaker.

2. JP13 is used to provide tone/messages into the IP15 via microSD memory card.

3. If local activations are required, use JP2.

Installation

The Alarm Initiation Inputs are activated by shorting the input to the ISO-GND next

to it, usually through an normally open switch or normally open dry relay contact.

NOTE: Momentary mode: contact closure sounds alarm for typical programmed

duration. Continuous mode: sounds alarm for duration of closure. The system can

also be congured to allow activation from normally closed contacts.

4. The visual indicator is wired to JP3 for activation and powering.

5. If controlling an external device, use JP6 to control an external relay to control the
device.

The Informer15 Speaker has one independently programmable open collector output

that can be used to control an external relay. The open collector/relay output timing is

congured and programmed into the Informer15 Speaker from the Commander user

interface.

Description, Specications, Installation, Operation, and Service Manual

13

Installation

The open collector/relay output is capable of controlling an external device. The open

collector and +24 Vdc are located at pins 1 and 2 of the removable output connector

JP6 on the controller board.

The output for controlling an external relay is limited to 30 Vdc and 100 mA

maximum. The speaker provides a 24 Vdc source to power relays or devices

which require current draw less than 20 mA. If a relay is used, which requires up
to 100 mA, an external 24 Vdc supply is required. Do not exceed the voltage and
current ratings listed in the Specications section of this manual. When using this

feature, the open collector/relay outputs turn on until one of the following occurs:

• Until the programmed default timeout occurs

• Until the CANCEL or RESET command is received

You can congure the open collector/relay output to open, close, and cycle based on

a pre-programmed sequence. The open collector/relay output can also be congured
to turn on when PA VOIP is active. Refer to Informer-IP Setup, Program, and User

Manual for programming your Informer.

6. If using a scrolling message board, use JP11.

7. If using in standalone mode, use JP8.

Standalone mode allows the Informer15 Speaker to be activated from the Alarm

Initiation Inputs without being connected to a network. The Informer15 requires

setup prior to placing into standalone mode. All conguration should be performed
prior to installing. Once the unit is congured and tested, place a shorting jumper
across pins 1 and 2 of JP8, OPTION 1. To congure the Informer15 Speaker, use

Commander software version 15.4 or later. See the Informer Setup and Programming
Manual.
