All relay control, audio generation, and remote communication functions are handled by the UVRI-B control board. The control board contains connectors and terminal blocks for interconnection to other system components.
The UVRI-B receives remote control signals and responds to the Federal Signal Commander System for live PA and for activation of recorded voice, warning tones, and relay outputs. The UVRI-B can provide a relay contact closure and audio output for
interfacing local re panel notication.
UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Page 11
Operation is supervised and status information is transferred back to the control station(s) through one or more available communications networks. The UVRI-B monitors the audio output level and the Remote Activation input to verify proper operation. Remote Fire Alarm and PA systems provide a contact closure to indicate proper operation.
The control board is powered from 120 or 240 Vac with 12 Vdc battery backup. The
UVRI-B can also be optionally congured for 24 Vdc operation.

Models Description

All UVRI-B models are designed for two-way control and status monitoring using the Federal Signal Commander System. All models can be equipped with a micro-SD card for local storage of voice and/or tone messages.

Unit Type

5. Unit Address
6. Conguration Jumper Settings
The Federal Signal Commander System requires conguration based on the communications method. See the Commander Software Manual for conguration
information.
UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Page 13

RF Frequency

Program the radio transceiver with the RF frequency(s), channel spacing and power output before placing into service. These settings are pre-set at the factory if the requirements are provided with the order.

Security Key

The Security Key is a unique number assigned to the system that prevents interference of nearby systems operating on the same RF frequency. Like the 128-bit/256-bit encryption key, the Security Key is typically programmed during initial system programming. All sites in the system must use the same security key. The exception is a key value of 65535
(the default), dened as an open system and communicates with all encoders regardless
of the encoder’s key setting.

128-bit/256-bit Encryption Key

The 128-bit or 256-bit data encryption provides security against malicious operation
or monitoring. Program the 128-bit/256-bit encryption key during the ashing of
the microprocessor to match the encoder (Federal Signal Commander Software or SS2000+) being used to activate the unit. A key value of zero disables the 128-bit/256-bit encryption; use if the encoder does not support 128-bit/256-bit encryption. All sites in the system must use the same encryption key.
General Description

Unit Address

The unit address sets the UVRI-B site number and is used to numerically identify the site within the system network. The unit address is a three-digit number with a range of 001 to 1023. The unit address is set using dip switch S1. S1 off position indicates active position. Add binary active switch positions to get ID address
Switch number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Binary number 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512
Example: Switch numbers 1, 2, and 3 are binary numbers 1, 2, and 4.
Add 1 + 2 + 4 = 7; 7 is the unit address
NOTE:
Set site address to one to program the UVRI-B control board with rmware (HEX
code).
To program a non-digital unit using Commander Software, set site address to one.
When programming is completed, change the dip switch setting to the actual site address.
The site address is stored when the switch is changed.

Conguring
For information on conguring, see the Commander Software Manual and the
Informer-IP Setup, Program, and User Manual.
Installation
Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when making electrical connections, drilling holes, or lifting equipment. Therefore, experienced electricians in accordance with national and local electrical codes, acting under the direction of the installation crew safety foreman, should perform installation.
Explosive gases and corrosive materials may be present. To prevent explosion or severe personal injury, installation technicians must be experienced with the safe installation of lead-acid type batteries.
The output level of high-powered speakers is capable of causing permanent hearing damage. To prevent excessive exposure, carefully plan placement of siren and post warnings. To prevent excessive exposure to installers and service personnel, adequate measures must be taken to ensure that the sirens are not activated while they are within 150 feet of the speaker array or provide proper ear protection.
This section contains reference drawings to assist with installation.

Control Unit Location

Select a suitable mounting location that is secure, and away from high-voltage wiring and
high-power RF systems. The UVRI-B is available for indoor congurations.
Refer to the specication section to obtain the weight of the UVRI-B. Insure that the
mounting surface and fasteners can safely sustain the weight of the assembly.
When interfacing to a re panel or PA system, place the UVRI-B near the panel or PA
system in order to reduce the possibility of introducing noise in the audio path.
Locate the control unit out of the reach of vandals. The UVRI-B is supplied with locking mechanisms.
The UVRI-B requires a 120 Vac or 240 Vac 50 to 60 Hz power source to power the
UVRI-B and charge the internal 12 V battery. You can congure the UVRI-B to be
powered from 24 Vdc.
26
UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Page 27
Installation
You can use several methods to activate the UVRI-B. Use the manual activation buttons and a hand-held microphone to activate the UVRI-B locally. Use landline control through normally open contact switches. Make connections directly to the controller terminal block. Activate the UVRI-B remotely through the optional radio receiver or an external 600 ohm audio source. Plan how the UVRI-B will be connected to the antenna system wired or wireless communications network. If you are using radio control, consider RF coverage and antenna placement when selecting a suitable location.

Electrical Connections

Install the siren electrical system in compliance with local electrical codes and NEC recommendations. Federal Signal recommends that all user-installed conduit connections enter from the bottom of the UVRI-B cabinet using the supplied conduit knockouts. Disconnect all power and read all warnings at the beginning of this manual and on the batteries before making connections.

Grounding Requirements

Review the following grounding requirements:
The UVRI-B cabinet must be properly connected to an earth ground. The cabinet
contains an internal ground stud for making this connection.
If an outdoor antenna is used, install a separate antenna ground.
Externally installed antennas require a dedicated ground to either a ground rod or
building steel below grade in addition to the UVRI-B cabinet ground.
Verify the AC voltage requirement for the UVRI-B model being installed. The control board requires proper switch selection for 120 or 240 Vac.
The UVRI-B control PCB provides a removable connector for making the AC power connections. The connector accepts bare 12-14 AWG wire.

Wiring Guidelines for 120 Vac Electrical Service

Review the following wiring guidelines:
1. Install a dedicated 15 A breaker in an existing breaker panel or install a new breaker panel if necessary for the UVRI-B.

For local PA, plug the optional microphone (part number: MNC-MC) into the 1/4 inch
jack (J1) on the UVRI-B control board. Mount the microphone on the microphone clip
located on the access panel. (See Figure 1.) Use R3 on the control board for microphone level control.
The UVRI-B 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. Use the recommended microphone (X-SM1-FS1) to monitor noise levels and automatically adjust the volume. The X-SM1-FS1 is a weather resistant omni-directional microphone for use with the UVRI-B controller. Mount the microphone in a standard ½-inch electrical knock out or ½-inch drilled hole in the UVRI-B cabinet or where the noise is needed to be measured. The microphone has a 6 foot cord for connecting to the UVRI-B controller.

Remote Activation Contact Closure Inputs (JP22 on the UVRI-B Control board)

Connect any desired remote contact closure inputs to the remote control inputs at JP22 on
the UVRI-B control board. Activating the input requires a connection of less than 2,000 Ohms from pins 1 or 10 to one of the Function inputs on pins 2 through 9 for functions 1 through 8 respectively.

Optional External 24 VDC Power Connections (JP23 on the UVRI-B Control board)

External 20 to 28 Vdc can be connected to JP23 with the (+) connected to pin #1 and the
(-) to pin #4. The unit may draw up to 7 Amps at full power. Contact Federal Signal for information regarding 24 Vdc use.

600 Ohm I/O Connections (JP8 on the UVRI-B Control board)

Control Connections

Use terminal block JP8 on the UVRI-B control board for making connections to 600 ohm
balanced audio equipment such as a direct connection to an SS2000+ or other type of control and status monitoring equipment. To use the 600 ohm input for control signal
audio, place a jumper across pins 2-3, (600 Ohm RCV), of JP11 and across pins 2-3, (TX Audio), of JP12. Jumper JP2 (the VOX) to provide carrier detect while the incoming audio is present. The 600 ohm input can receive audio for control and audio amplication
as well as transmit reports to an external unit.
Use a twisted pair wire run to the connecting equipment which should have a balanced 600 Ohm output. Keep the cable length as short as possible and run away from sources of electrical noise. The input works best with an input level between 200 to 2,000 mVpp. At 200 mVpp, turn pot R59 (RX1 Level) fully up, 20 turns clockwise. Set the level so that a tone signal from the connected equipment provides 1 Vpp at TP2 or until the two green LEDs of the RX Level meter are on.

Audio Connections

Connect the optional remote audio input for Public Address to the 600 ohm port on the
UVRI-B control board (JP8) with jumper JP11 set for 600 Ohm PA, pins 1 & 2, and no jumper on JP12. A contact closure for remote PTT is required between JP24 pins 6 and 1
to activate the 600 ohm.
Use a twisted pair wire run to the connecting equipment which should have a balanced 600 Ohm output. Keep the cable length as short as possible and run away from sources of electrical noise. The input works best with an input level between 200 to 2,000 mVpp. At 200 mVpp, turn pot R59 (RX1 Level) fully up, 20 turns clockwise. Set the level so that a tone signal from the connected equipment provides 1 Vpp at TP2 or until the two green LEDs of the RX Level meter are on.

Turning on the Power

To turn the power on:
1. Verify all wiring is completed in the previous sections and that the connections are tight and secure.
2. Connect the battery supply wires to the control board with the pluggable connector at
JP36. After the battery connections and antenna connections are made and the battery
disconnect connector is plugged in, the UVRI-B is running on battery power.
3. The UVRI-B control board clock LED begins to blink approximately 3 seconds after power is applied.
4. Connect AC power and verify that the battery charger LEDs turn on indicating the charger is charging the batteries.
5. Turn on the radio transceiver power (if applicable) and verify the radio power LED turns on.

Installing the Antenna

Installing the Antenna
Determine type of antenna to be installed if a wireless RF system is used:
Cabinet Mounted Magnetic Base
Remote Mounted Magnetic Base
Yagi External Antenna Type
Omni external antenna Type

Installing the Cabinet Mounted Magnetic Base Antenna

If the UVRI-B is being installed in a very good RF coverage area, you may use a cabinet mounted magnetic base antenna.
1. Connect the antenna cable to the antenna connector on the top of the UVRI-B cabinet.
2. Mount the magnetic antenna base on the top of the UVRI-B cabinet.

Installing the Remote Mounted Magnetic Base Antenna

The remote magnetic base antenna allows for additional antenna height to improve reception.
1. Locate a suitable location for the antenna that is away from any electrical devices, high voltage and computer wiring. Locate as high as possible to enable the antenna mast to be at least 2 feet away from any grounded metal objects.
2. Mount the antenna to a at, secure metal structure with at least 225 inches square
area that the magnetic mount will securely stick to.

Installing the Yagi Antenna

Yagi Antenna Pre-Assembly Instruction
To pre-assemble the antenna, do the following:
1. Unpack the antenna and locate the following parts:
Boom (1-14 inches for 5 element model, 7/8 inch-diameter for 3 element model)
3/8 diameter elements (y---3 = 3 elements, y----5 = 5 elements)
Gamma match parts bag
Mounting bracket parts bag
2. Find the proper element dimension chart for your antenna, within the antenna instructions, and trim each element according to your operating frequency. Use care to trim equal lengths from each end of each element ensuring that the mounting hole is at the center.
38
UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI-B)
Page 39
Installing the Antenna
NOTE A: Proper trimming and adjustment is critical to the Voltage Standing Wave
Ratio, known as VSWR. (High reected power levels decrease forward power. The
life of the radio and transmit capabilities are dependent upon the VSWR being low as possible).
NOTE B: If two frequencies are being used, then trim the antenna to the transmit
frequency of the system where the antenna is mounted.
3. Insert the elements into their respective locations through the boom, starting with R1
(the reective element) in the hole closest to the mounting holes. Then insert Dr, D1
etc. in that order.
NOTE A: Shortest element is furthest away from the mount and increases in size as
it gets closer to the mount.
NOTE B: Be very careful to line up the holes and not cross thread when securing
the elements in the next step. The bolts must tighten all the way down upon the lock washers.
4. Secure the elements with the stainless steel 10-32 hex bolts and #10 lockwashers provided.
5. Locate the connector/brass tube assembly in the gamma match parts bag and insert
the assembly rst through the connector bracket, then thread the connector into the
bracket. Be sure to tighten the connector fully. A drop of Locktite or other thread lock may be used in the threads to eliminate the possibility of the connector loosening.
6. Slide the gamma link onto the driven element and assemble the gamma match as
shown in gure 1 or 2 (under the antenna instructions provided by the antenna
manufacturer). Set dimensions “A” and “B” to those shown in table 1. Setting the match to the dimensions shown for your antenna is a good starting point, which allows you to quickly line tune later. Complete the assembly by attaching the end cap
onto the end of the gamma tube. The antenna is now ready for nal tuning.
Antennas may cause severe burns. Do not touch the antenna while the radio is transmitting.
Final VSWR Tuning
To nal tune the antenna, do the following:
1. Before nal installation of the antenna, temporarily set it up in a clear area at least six
feet above the ground.
NOTE A: Do not touch the antenna while the radio is transmitting.
NOTE B: Ensure antenna is not touching any conductive material and is pointed
away from all objects and people. Pointing antenna at objects in close proximity may
act as a reector and create inaccurate readings.

trouble achieving a good match. If the element dimensions are incorrect for the frequency being used, low VSWR may be unattainable. If the VSWR
specication is still unattainable, replace the cable. (A simple ohm meter check
of the cable does not guarantee that the antenna cable is good, due to the DMM not having the ability to check the cable at high frequencies.) If that does not take care of the problem, replace the antenna.
To install the Yagi antenna, do the following:
1. Install antenna, (using installation bracket or equivalent) as high as possible, such that the antenna cable and obstacles allows, and install on side of pole closest to the receiving station. Aim antenna at receiving station.
Install a service loop when routing antenna cable.
NOTE: Objects around the antenna affect the antenna, keep antenna pointed away
from objects.
2. Ensure antenna cable connections are tight. Seal all connection points with heat shrink or tape and seal with Scotch Coat, or equivalent.
3. Apply RF power to the antenna at the transmit frequency to be used at that antenna,
and check the VSWR (Reected power). Reected power must be less than 10% of
the forward power.
If the VSWR specication is unattainable, replace the cable (a simple ohm meter
check of the cable does not guarantee that the antenna cable is good, due to the DMM not having the ability to check the cable at high frequencies). If that does not take care of the problem, replace the antenna.

Installing the Omni Fiberglass Antenna Models

NOTE: No tuning is required for this model.
“Figure 9 Omni Antenna Installation Example” on page 42.
To install the Omni antenna, do the following:
1. Install antenna, (using installation bracket or equivalent) as high as possible, such that the antenna cable and obstacles allows, and install on side of pole closest to the receiving station.
Install a service loop when routing antenna cable.
NOTE: Objects around the antenna affect the antenna, keep antenna away from
objects, and at least ¼ wavelength from siren pole.
(λ = C/f, where C = 1.18 x 1010 in/sec)
2. Ensure antenna cable connections are tight. Seal all connection points with heat shrink or tape and seal with Scotch Coat, or equivalent.
3. Apply RF power to the antenna at the transmit frequency to be used at that antenna,
and check the VSWR (Reected power). Reected power must be less than 10% of
the forward power.
Installing the Antenna
If the VSWR specication is unattainable, replace the cable (A simple ohm meter

Pre-operational System Conguration and Testing
Equipment Required
1. Service Monitor
2. Oscilloscope
Setup
Connect the radio to the service monitor.
Receive Audio Adjustment
To receive audio adjustment:
1. Using service monitor, modulate the correct RF signal into the receiver with a 1 kHz tone at 3 kHz deviation. If bandwidth is 12.5, then modulate at 1.5 kHz deviation. (If using private line, add 750 Hz private line deviation to the signal. If bandwidth is
12.5, then modulate at 350 Hz deviation.)
2. For JP5, the Primary Transceiver Port, using R59, the RX1 Level pot, adjust the level
for 1 Vpp at TP2 or until the two green LEDs of the RX Level meter are on.
3. For JP4, the Secondary Transceiver Port, using 18, the RX2 Level pot, adjust the
level for 1 Vpp at TP2 or until the two green LEDs of the RX Level meter are on.
Transmit Deviation Adjustment
To transmit deviation adjustment:
1. Simultaneously press buttons 5 and 7. This causes the controller to transmit for approximately 8 seconds.
2. Measure the deviation level using service monitor.
3. For JP5, the Primary Transceiver Port, using R21, the TX1 Level pot; For JP4, the Secondary Transceiver Port, using R19, the TX2 Level pot;
Adjust the deviation for 3 kHz deviation. If the bandwidth is 12.5 kHz, then adjust
for 1.5 kHz deviation. (If using private line, add 750 Hz private line deviation to the signal.) If bandwidth is 12.5, add 350 Hz private line deviation to the signal).
NOTE: Obtain slightly higher S/N levels by increasing the RF modulation levels to
4 and 2 kHz depending on the channel spacing. Do not exceed these deviation levels. All sites in the system should be set to the same modulation level.

Control and Status Monitoring

To test the control and status monitoring:
1. Use the Federal Signal Commander Software to verify the UVRI-B has been
properly congured for the application. Make any required changes.
44
2. Test the control and status monitoring features from each control point. Test each control function and all status indications using Commander. Verify each status point provides the proper indication of both pass and fail conditions.

Quiet Test

The Federal Signal Commander System can manually or automatically activate Quiet
Test for verication of system operation. Quiet Test uses a 20 kHz tone to test tone generators and optional ampliers. To congure the quiet test, see the Federal Signal
Commander Manual. To access the results of the Quiet Test, use the Federal Signal Commander System.

AC/DC Power System

The UVRI-B includes a 13.5 Vdc power supply. The DC voltage is used to power external radio equipment or broadband modems. The DC voltage also chargers a battery
for operation during power loss. The battery is also used to power the optional amplier.

Applications

Two-Way Radio Controlled System

The UVRI-B can be used as a two-way radio controlled extension of a Federal Signal outdoor warning system. The ability to replicate the pre-recorded messages/tones and live PA allows indoor recipients to receive the same alerts indoor as well as outdoor. The UVRI-B can be used to replace Radio Informers with two-way supervised and monitored
capabilities. The UVRI-B can also be equipped with a 100 W amplier to drive local speakers for wide-area notication. Applications include waste water treatment facilities, campus, military, re house, and commercial applications.
Applications

Fire Panel Interface

The UVRI-B is designed to interface with a UL2572 re panel for control, monitoring, and activation of a Mass Notication System. The UVRI-B can be used in military,
industrial, and campus environments where interfacing Federal Signal outdoor warning
into a re panel is required. The UVRI-B provides the supervision between the UL2572 re panel and the outdoor notication system. All messages and live PA are passed from the UVRI-B into the re panel for complete site notication.

Fiber-connected Facility

Upgraded industrial and commercial locations have been running ber throughout their
facility to enable IP connectivity. IP connectivity allows cameras, sensors, access control and alerting systems to be easily installed across the enterprise. With multi-site locations and interconnected facilities, the ability to tie all these systems together is simple and easy to do. Security can be controlled and managed from a centralized location. Alerting
and notication systems can be managed across locations and an alert in one location
can trigger alerts anywhere within the network. The UVRI-B and the Intelligent product
family are all IP-enabled to allow a seamless and efcient alert system to be deployed.

Maintenance

Maintenance
Service and maintenance should be performed by qualied personnel familiar with the UVRI-B, associated controls, and power sources being used and in conjunction with the authorities having jurisdiction.
The sound output of speakers is capable of causing permanent hearing damage. Use adequate hearing protection and avoid excessive exposure.
Before servicing or maintaining, ensure that remote activation cannot occur and disconnect power to the UVRI-B.
To prevent the speakers from sounding, always turn off the power to the UVRI-B at the AC disconnect and remove any DC power being supplied before inspecting or maintaining the speakers.

Control Unit Preventive Maintenance

Test the UVRI-B for proper operation at least once a month. A daily test at noon, curfew, or other selected time is preferred. This not only enhances the usefulness of the UVRI-B
and veries that it remains ready for use when needed; it also instills condence in the
reliability of the system.
In order to minimize the potential for a failure, annual inspection and maintenance is recommended.

General Maintenance

Checking Signal Operational

To check signal operation:
1. When checking for proper control module output, unplug the terminal strip connector to the speakers to eliminate output from the speaker array.
2. Activate each of the signals and observe the signal indicators on the control module
and the ampliers.
3. If desired, connect an oscilloscope or digital multi-meter (DMM) to the amplier module output terminal strip to observe the amplier output. This output should be at
least 25.5 V to run at full power.
4. Plug all of the amplier terminal strip connectors to enable amplier outputs.
5. Verify that the system status is reported correctly at the control point. Check each status point to verify both pass and fail conditions are correctly reported. Verify that the relay output closes with each function activated.
