UltraVoice Indoor Controller (UVIC)

General Description

Introduction

This manual describes the features, specications, installation, operation, and

maintenance of the UltraVoice® Indoor Controller (UVIC). The UVIC is designed

to deliver amplied audio to a network of speakers (sold separately), and congured
for indoor notication or evacuation. The UVIC has been designed for high-quality

reproduction of live or pre-recorded voice and tone that provides the ability to automate
testing and emergencies.

The UVIC is housed in a single NEMA1 style cabinet. The UVIC uses one amplier card
for a 400-Watt system and two ampliers cards for an 800-Watt system. All siren control,

audio generation, and remote communication functions are handled by a single UV+
controller board. The backplane motherboard contains connectors and terminal blocks

Model UVIC-IP

The UVIC-IP includes a network card that provides the capability to communicate over a
network and provides audio decoding of digitized audio sent over the network.

The network card is congured with its own xed IP address and port number. When

packets of data are received over the network port that are addressed to the board’s IP and
port number, they are converted to serial data and sent out over the serial port. Likewise,

UltraVoice Indoor Controller (UVIC)

any data coming into the serial port is converted to TCP/IP data packets and sent out
over the network port to the server’s IP address. The unit also contains a digital to analog

converter. This allows specially congured incoming data packets to be converted to
audio, which is then ltered and sent out over a 600-ohm audio port.

UVIC Backplane Motherboard

The UVIC backplane motherboard provides the electrical connections between the UV+

Control board, the Audio and Relay output board, and the UV400 ampliers. In addition,
it provides connections for eld wiring and relay outputs.

The UVIC backplane motherboard is limited to two amplier slots or one amplier if

used with the UVIC25ST.

The UVIC backplane motherboard has a fused normally open relay output. The relay is
normally programmed to close while a control function is active. An LED indicator turns
on when the relay is active.

Commander Software System (SFCDWARE)

Commander is software used to control, monitor, and congure the siren controller. The

programming software communicates with the siren controller over the communication
link. Refer to the Help menu provided with the software for operational details.

Control Unit Location

The information in this section provides the user with guidelines necessary for
installation.

Consider the Control Unit mounting location. Mount the Control Unit NEMA Type 1
cabinet indoors and away from moisture, heavy dust, and contaminants. The controller
contains batteries; therefore, the selected area must have adequate ventilation to prevent
accumulation of explosive gas from the batteries.

Adjustable from 0.30 to 3.00 V

using R1

p-p

A light duty lockable hasp secures entry to the cabinet.

The cabinet is suitable for wall mounting with mounting slots on 12 to 16 inches centers.

The total weight of the control assembly, including user-provided batteries, are listed

in the specication section. Ensure that the mounting surface and fasteners can safely

sustain the weight of the assembly.

The control system requires a 120 Vac or 240 Vac, 50 to 60 Hz power source (model

dependent).

You can use several methods to activate the UVIC system. Use the manual activation
switches and a handheld microphone to activate the system locally. Use landline control
through normally open contact switches. Make connections directly to the backplane
motherboard terminal block. The system can be remotely activated through a radio

transceiver or an external 600-ohm audio source.

If you are using radio control, consider RF coverage and antenna placement when
selecting a suitable location.

20

UltraVoice Indoor Controller (UVIC)

Speaker Location

The sound output of speakers is capable of causing permanent hearing
damage. Ensure people are not exposed to sounds exceeding 120 dB. Post
warnings where applicable.

As a general rule, the warning signal SPL should be at least 10 dB above the ambient

sound level to ensure it will be heard. Speaker delity and placement will also affect

voice intelligibility.

Many factors affect the propagation of sound through barriers, over various types of
materials, terrain, and changing weather conditions. Consult FEMA CPG1-17, CPG1-14
and your local Federal Signal representative for assistance to properly place your warning
equipment.

Selectively turn on the speakers connected to the UVIC using amplier zones. Program

up to two zones into the UVIC to allow Zone 1, Zone 2, or all amp zones to be activated.
Program Amp Zones using the AZ commands in Commander.

Installation

UVLOC Location

Mount the UVLOC in an area that is readily accessible by all potential operators. Clearly
mark the console to identify its location.

Connect up to 6 Local Operation Consoles to each UVIC. Place the consoles up to

1/2 mile away from the UVIC. Wall mount the console approximately 5 feet above the
ground. Mount the UVLOC as far as possible from the speaker locations to reduce the
potential for audio feedback during a live P.A.

The UVLOC requires a CAT5 cable run between the UVIC and the UVLOC. An
electrical back box is provided for mounting the UVLOC either on or recessed within
a wall. Six RJ45 connectors are provided on the UVLOC interface board for making
connections. A terminal strip is also provided that accepts bare wire.

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.

General Mounting Guidelines For All Applications

These general installation instructions are pertinent to all installations. Specic mounting

methods and required installation materials are described in the next section.

1. There are three pre-drilled holes in each of the cabinet mounting anges. (See

Figure 3 UVIC Cabinet Dimensional Outline Drawing.) Depending on the mounting
surface, mount the cabinet using either of the following sets of holes:

• (2) Centered 0.41 inch diameter mounting holes

• (4) Mounting slots 0.41 by 2 inches with 12 to 16 inches centers

2. The total weight of the UVIC cabinet with batteries is listed in the Specications

section. It is imperative that the mounting surface and mounting method selected can
safely sustain the weight of the assembly. To reduce the weight of the cabinet during
installation, do not install the batteries before mounting the cabinet.

3. Prepare the mounting surface for hanging the cabinet by predetermining the location

of the mounting holes. Attach the cabinet to a wall or other substantial vertical
surface using the four 0.41 inch mounting slots. Alternatively, use the two center
mounting holes alone, if securely lagged directly into a wood stud or other vertical
surface capable of handling the weight load.

If the mounting surface is not at, the cabinet may require shimming to keep the

cabinet square.

4. Guidelines for various attachment methods to accommodate different wall types are

described in the following section. Make provisions for spacing behind the cabinet
when mounting to an exterior wall that is susceptible to condensation or other surface
moisture.

5. With the two batteries removed, use two people to lift the cabinet to the desired

mounting height and lag to the wall using the prepared holes and anchors.

Installation

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 UVIC 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.

The UVIC cabinet must be properly connected to an earth ground. The
cabinet contains an external 3/8 inch ground stud for making this connection.
Alternatively, a DIN mounted grounding block is provided inside the UVIC
enclosure.

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 UVIC cabinet ground.

Verify the AC voltage requirement for the UVIC model being installed. 240 Vac
versions of the UVIC controllers have a “240” sufx in the model number
shown on the label located on the cabinet door. All other UVIC models are to
be wired to 120 VAC.

DIN Rail Terminal Blocks

These points provide a convenient location for making electrical connections. Push a
small screwdriver into the square opening in the terminal block to open the contact of the
block. With the wire inserted, the block clamps the wire with a spring-loaded connection
when the screwdriver is removed from the terminal block.

Each terminal block accepts bare 12-14 AWG wire. The two fused terminal blocks

labeled F1 and F2 have a built-in disconnect that ips open, disconnects the circuit, and

provides access to the fuse located inside the terminal block.

Wiring Guidelines for the 120 Vac Electrical Service

To wire for the 120 Vac electrical service:

1. Install a dedicated 15 A circuit breaker in an existing breaker panel or install a new

breaker panel if necessary for the UVIC.

2. Install conduit from the breaker panel to a conduit entrance in the bottom of the

UVIC.

28

3. Route user-supplied 12-14 AWG wires (1 black, 1 white, 1 green - optional) through

the conduit from the UVIC cabinet and the fused breaker panel.

4. Connect the white neutral wire from the breaker panel neutral to the fused DIN rail

mounted terminal block labeled F1-NEUTRAL in the UVIC cabinet.

UltraVoice Indoor Controller (UVIC)

5. Connect the black line wire from the 15 A breaker to the DIN rail mounted terminal

block labeled F2-Line in the UVIC cabinet.

6. Optionally, connect a green ground wire from the breaker panel earth ground to the

green ground block in the UVIC cabinet or run a ground lead from the external 3/8

inch ground stud on the UVIC cabinet to earth ground.

7. To avoid shorting the output of the charger, do not apply AC power to the UVIC

controller before making the battery connections described later in this section.

Wiring Guidelines for the 240 Vac Electrical Service

To wire for the 240 Vac electrical service:

1. Install a dedicated 15 A 2-pole circuit breaker in an existing breaker panel or install a

new breaker panel if necessary for the UVIC.

2. Install conduit from the beaker panel to a conduit entrance in the bottom of the

UVIC. Ensure the conduit is adequately grounded.

3. Route user-supplied 12-14 AWG wires (2 black, 1 green - optional) through the

conduit from the UVIC cabinet and the fused breaker panel (or as otherwise specied

by code).

Installation

4. Connect one line wire from the 15 A breaker panel to the fused DIN rail mounted

terminal block labeled F1--L1 in the UVIC cabinet.

5. Connect the other line wire from the 15 A breaker to the DIN rail mounted terminal

block labeled F2--L2 in the UVIC cabinet.

6. Optionally, connect a green ground wire from the breaker panel earth ground to

the green ground block in the UVIC cabinet or run a ground lead from the external

3/8 inch ground stud on the UVIC cabinet to earth ground.

7. To avoid shorting the output of the charger, do not apply AC power to the UVIC

controller before making the battery connections described later in this section.

Battery Connections

When installing or removing batteries, take care to avoid shorting battery
terminals to metal surfaces. Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury or death. Batteries miswired can cause serious personal injury or
death. Read and understand the following information before making actual
connections.

To connect the battery:

1. The battery disconnect plug is located behind the cover plate on the right side of the

ampliers. Disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard by grasping the black
connector with the large 8 AWG red and black wires and unplugging it from the

motherboard.

29

Installation

2. Open the fastener kit provided in the UVIC cabinet containing the plastic battery

terminal knobs and spacer nuts. Replace the battery terminal bolts provided with the
battery with the terminal knobs and nuts provided in the fastener kit. The kit also
contains rubber bumpers that are placed under the battery holding brackets to better
secure shorter batteries.

3. Connect the wires to the batteries connecting the short black 8 AWG wire between

batteries 1 and 2 last. Use an anti-oxidant compound to protect the terminals.

4. Verify the battery connections are tightened securely to make proper electrical

connections.

Installing the Antenna

Determine type of antenna to be installed:

• Cabinet Mounted Magnetic Base

• Remote Mounted Magnetic Base

• Yagi external antenna type

• Omni external antenna type

For installation instructions on the Yagi and Omni Antennas go to the Federal Signal’s
website.

Installing the Cabinet Mounted Magnetic Base Antenna

If the UVIC 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 UVIC cabinet.

2. Mount the magnetic antenna base on the top of the UVIC 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 square inches

(1.5 square foot area) that the Magnetic Mount will securely stick to.

Speaker Connections

The speaker connections are located on the bottom right hand side of the motherboard.

There are two 12 position removable connectors for each of the ampliers enabling up to
12 pairs of wires to be connected to each amplier.

30

The connectors for Amplier 1 are located under the card cage. The connectors for
Amplier 2 are located under the cover plate immediately to the right of the ampliers.

UltraVoice Indoor Controller (UVIC)

Installation

The output voltage is 70 V

for each of the ampliers. You may connect up to 400 watts

RMS

of speaker loads across the 70 V line for each amplier.

If multiple separate speaker wire runs must be used for the installation, use an external

speaker wire junction box to simplify eld wiring and limit the number of wires in the

UVIC cabinet. (See Installation Instructions for Antennas at the Federal Signal’s website.)

Consult Federal Signal Customer Support with speaker wiring questions. See Getting
Service.

For 25 V speaker operation, install a UV400 in the rst amplier slot. Install a
UVIC25ST in the second slot. Wire the connection between the amplier and UVIC25ST
using the included cable. Use JP24 Amplier 2 for all 25 V wiring connections. See the
gure below for wiring details.

Figure 5 UVIC25ST Wiring Detail

PA Audio Connections (JP15)

Connect the optional remote audio input for Public Address to the 600 ohm port on the
motherboard JP12. For best results, use a well-ltered audio source. A contact closure for
remote PTT is required at JP15 to enable the 600 ohm input. Use a shielded audio grade

cable. Keep the cable length as short as possible and away from sources of electrical
noise. See the Level Adjustment Procedures.

For local PA, plug the provided microphone into the 1/4-inch jack on the control module.
Mount the mic on the mic clip located on the access panel. (See “Figure 3 UVIC Parts

Contact Closure Inputs (JP14)

Connect any desired remote contact closure inputs to the remote control inputs at JP14 on

the Motherboard. See Specications and Operations sections for further information on

JP14.

Optional UVARM Connections

Connections to the UVARM are made on the front of the UVARM card located between

the Control module and the Ampliers. All connections for the UVARM are labeled on

the front the card. Tie wrap the UVARM wiring to the bottom of the card cage assembly
and route through the plastic wiring raceway. See General Description for a description
of the UVARM connection points and Installation Instructions for Antennas at the Federal
Signal’s website for connection details.

Optional UVLOC Connections and Wall Mounting

See “Figure 6 UVLOC Dimensional Outline” and “Figure 7 UVLOC Interface Wiring
Diagram” for the UVLOC mounting hole locations. The UVLOC is typically mounted on
a wall approximately 5 feet above the ground.

The UVLOC requires a CAT5 cable between the UVLOC and the interface board
(UVLOC-IM) in the UVIC. One to one connections are made with either the RJ45
terminations or a bare wire terminal block at each end. The interface board connects to
the UVIC motherboard using interface cable as shown in “Figure 7 UVLOC Interface
Wiring Diagram”

The UVLOC-IM mounting bracket attaches to the left side of the control cabinet using
two of the charger mounting studs and the intrusion switch mounting studs. See “Figure
21 UVIC Final Assembly and Parts List” on page 70 to view the UVLOC-IM bracket
and PCB mounting detail.

33

Installation

The connector is rated for 50 A. The combined load of the UVIC and the external 24 Vdc
load must not exceed 50 A. Wire gauge and fusing must be selected appropriately for the
load.

600 Ohm I/O Connections

Control Connections

Use terminal block JP12 at the bottom of the system motherboard for making connections

to 600 ohm balanced audio equipment (such as, a direct connection to a 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 of JP8. JP8 is located on the main controller
card. The 600 ohm input can receive audio for control and audio amplication as well as

transmit reports to an external unit.

Audio Connections

To use the 600 ohm input for audio from an external audio source, place a jumper across
pins 1-2 of JP8. Use R123 to control the volume level when used in this mode. Provide
a contact closure at JP15 pins 10 and 11 (PTT: Push To Talk) to turn on the ampliers
and route the 600 ohm audio to the ampliers. For best results, use a well-ltered audio

source. Use a shielded audio grade cable and keep the length of the audio cable as short
as possible. Keep away from sources of electrical noise.

Turning on the Power

To turn on the UVIC:

1. Verify all wiring is completed in the previous sections and that the connections are

tight and secure. After the battery connections and antenna connections are made
and the battery disconnect connector is plugged in, the UVIC is running on battery
power.

2. The UVIC control board clock LED begins to blink approximately 3 seconds after

power is applied.

Installation

Installing User-Supplied Radio Receivers

Improper installation of radio control equipment may cause the speakers to
malfunction or operate intermittently. Installation must only be performed by
experienced radio technicians who have thoroughly read this manual.

1. TUNING—Tune the radio receiver to the manufacturer’s specications.

2. POWER—Determine the radio power requirements. The UV control panel provides

+12 Vdc on the RADIO connector on the front panel.

Do not use this voltage source for radios, which draw more than 1.5 A of current in
transmit. Use both grounds and both +12 Vdc connections for current handling. If
a higher current output is required, purchase a 24 to 12 Vdc voltage converter. This
converter is provided with the UVIC series models. Do not use one of the 12 Vdc
batteries to run the radio equipment.

1. AUDIO—Connect the UV controller Receive Audio Input to the de-emphasized

3. C.D.—The carrier detect signal from the radio must pull to ground when active. The

radio carrier detect signal is useful for controlling live P.A. When the C.D. signal is
removed from the controller for over 5 seconds, the controller automatically cancels
the P.A. function which eliminates the need to broadcast the cancel tones over the
speakers.

4. PTT—The PTT output pulls to ground when active to key the radio.

5. RX and TX Audio—Adjust the RX and TX Audio levels. See Pre-operational System

Conguration and Testing.

Pre-operational System Conguration and Testing

Pre-operational System Conguration and Testing

The following procedures should be performed by a properly trained
technician to ensure the equipment is operating properly.

Visual Inspection

To conduct a visual inspection:

1. Fill out the Field Test Data Sheet to document the following inspections and tests.

See Appendix A. Keep the completed document on le for future reference.

2. Verify all connections and fasteners are tight.

3. Ensure that all installation debris is removed from the cabinet.

4. Secure all wiring with wire-ties to provide strain relief and to neatly manage the

wiring.

5. Verify the control board clock LED is blinking.

6. Verify the charger LED(s) are on for the appropriate charging state. See Operations

for charger details.

Amplier and Speaker Pre-Operation Checkout

To conduct an amplier and speaker pre-operation checkout:

1. See UVIC-IP Wiring Diagram in Appendix B. Measure the DC voltage between

battery 1 (-) and battery 2 (+). The voltage should be at least 25 Vdc. If the voltage
is below 25 Vdc, verify the green charging LEDs on the charger are lit. Allow the
batteries time to charge before continuing with the tests.

2. Verify the microphone is plugged into the 1/4 inch jack in the control module. Turn

the mic volume potentiometer fully counter clockwise. Press the PTT button on the
mic and announce a test message (for example, “Testing 1,2,3,4, Testing”). Turn the
mic volume knob clockwise until the desired level is obtained during the test count.

3. Verify the Audio A, Audio B, ARM, and PA LEDs on the controller and the green

LEDs on each amplier light when the test message is broadcast.

4. Calibrate the Quiet Test function by pressing switches 2 and 3 on the controller’s

front panel at the same time.

5. Test all siren signals at this time by momentarily pressing the appropriate switch on

the control module front panel.

Adjusting the Radio Transceiver

This procedure is previously completed at factory. Only readjust if radio re-alignment is

required or if the radio is being installed in the eld.

Qualications

Requires a properly trained Radio Technician.

Equipment Required

• Radio Service Monitor

• Oscilloscope

• Reected power meter

Setup

Connect the radio to the service monitor.

Adjusting the receive audio

To adjust the receive audio:

1. Using a service monitor, modulate the correct RF signal into the receiver with a

1 kHz tone:

• If bandwidth is 12.5 kHz (typical), then modulate at 1.5 kHz deviation. If
using private line, add 0.375 kHz private line deviation to the signal.

• If bandwidth is 25 kHz, then modulate at 3 kHz deviation. If using private line,
add 0.75 kHz private line deviation to the signal.

2. Adjust the level at TP16 (UV+ controller card) for 1 V

adjustment R105 (controller card front panel. See Figure 4).

Adjusting the transmit deviation

To adjust the transmit deviation:

1. Simultaneously press buttons 5 and 7 on the controller card. This causes the

controller to transmit for approximately 8 seconds.

2. Measure the deviation level using a radio service monitor set to the correct RF.

3. Adjust the TX level (controller card front panel) for the following deviation level on
the radio service monitor.

a. If bandwidth is 12.5 kHz (typical), then adjust for 1.5 kHz deviation. If using

private line, add 0.375 kHz private line deviation to the signal.

b. If bandwidth is 25 kHz, then adjust for 3 kHz deviation. If using private line, add

0.75 kHz private line deviation to the signal.

using the REC gain

p-p

38

4. If this step fails to solve issue, then check base station deviation levels as per base
station documentation and manual. Also if used, check the repeater.

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.

UltraVoice Indoor Controller (UVIC)

Pre-operational System Conguration and Testing

Set all sites in the system to the same modulation level.

600 Ohm Level Adjustment Procedure for Communications

To use the 600 ohm input for receive audio, a jumper must be across pins 2-3 of JP8. JP8

is located internally on the main controller card.

1. RX Adjustment

a. Ensure Base Station TX level is adjusted properly. Nominal base station TX

level would be 1 Vp-p or approximately 0 dB.

b. Transmit a tone from the Base Station.

c. Ensure tone is not clipped by viewing waveform with an oscilloscope.

d. Adjust the level at TP16 (controller card) for 1 Vp-p using the REC gain

adjustment R105 (controller card front panel).

e. Ensure tone is not clipped by viewing waveform with an oscilloscope.

2. TX adjustment

a. Simultaneously press buttons 5 and 7 on the controller card. This causes the

controller to transmit for approximately 8 seconds.

b. Determine proper siren TX level required (typically 1 Vp-p or approximately

0 dB.)

c. The TX levels for all of the siren controllers must be the same.

d. Verify the RX audio received at the Base Station is not clipped or distorted by

viewing waveform with an oscilloscope.

600 Ohm Adjustment Procedure for External Audio Source Input

To use the 600 ohm input for external audio, at JP8 a jumper must be across pins 1-2. JP8

is located internally on the main controller card.

1. Audio source adjustment for external audio source.

a. Transmit a tone from the external audio source.

b. Ensure tone is not clipped or distorted by viewing waveform with an

oscilloscope.

c. The nominal external audio source level is 1 Vp-p.

d. Adjust the external audio source to the appropriate level.

2. Audio source adjustment for UVIC controller.

a. Transmit a tone from the external audio source. Note that a contact closure at

JP15 pins 10 and 11 (PTT: Push To Talk) is required to activate audio mode.

b. Adjust the level using the external audio gain adjustment R123 (R123 located

internally on the controller card circuit card).

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

Pre-operational System Conguration and Testing

c. Set for same level as the standard siren sounds.

d. Ensure that the sound is not distorted.

Control and Status Monitoring

To test the control and status monitoring features:

1. Use the Commander Software System to verify the UVIC has been properly

congured for the application. Make any required changes.

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.

Testing the Optional UVLOC

To test the UVLOC:

1. After all connections have been made and power is applied to the UVIC, verify the
green power LED on the control panel is on.

2. Turn the rotary selection switch fully counter clockwise to the LIVE P.A. position.

3. Press the ARM button for 1 second and verify the red ARM LED turns on.

4. Press and hold the ACTIVATE button while speaking into within 12 inches of the
microphone. Verify the P.A. audio is clear and at the desired output level.

5. Use a small straight blade screwdriver to adjust the microphone sensitivity.

6. Set the nominal level to approximately 0 dBm out of the control panel.

7. Adjust the speaker level at the UVIC control board by adjusting R123. Set R123 to
provide 10 V

at TP1 on the control board when the UVLOC is putting out 0 dBm.

p-p

8. After the levels have been properly adjusted, verify all other functions operate

properly from the UVLOC control panel.

9. Label the UVLOC to ensure the operators know what messages and functions are
available. Verify the UVLOC is labeled properly for the application.

The following information is the minimum required conguration of the UVIC

Controller. Commander is required.

42

Unit Type

The Unit Type is set to the type of siren this unit is controlling, and is usually determined
by the number of cells in the speaker array. When setting up the unit type, the user selects
from a menu with the following choices.

UltraVoice Indoor Controller (UVIC)

Table 30 Unit Type Selection Table

UV - 1 One (1) UV400 MOD1004B 400 W

UV - 2 Two (2) UV400 MOD2008B 800 W

This section contains reference drawings to assist with installation.

Radio Communications

For units equipped with the integral radio receiver, the RF frequency conguration

parameter sets the frequency of the radio channel. Changing this parameter from its
factory setting may require re-alignment of the radio for maximum performance. The

value entered must fall within the range specied for the receiver band equipped.

Activation Formats

For Two-Tone activated units, the Two-Tone Timing parameters congures the time

duration of the activation tone codes. The three parameters, A-Time, B-Time, and
S-Time; sets the time duration for the A-Tone, B-Tone, and Single-Tone respectively.

NOTE: The Two-Tone timing parameters are minimum values only. The actual tone

times may be longer than the specied times.

Operations

EAS Location Codes

Up to three location codes may be assigned for EAS activation. For activation to occur,
the location code of the received EAS message must match one of the three assigned
codes.

You cannot program units for both Tone and EAS activation at the same time. Therefore,
when using EAS decoding, set the A-Time, B-Time, and S-Time parameters to zero. The
UVIC is capable of being programmed for EAS, DTMF and Federal Digital decoding at
the same time. Refer to www.fcc.gov for further information about EAS messages.

128/256-bit Encryption Key

The 128/256-bit data encryption provides security against malicious operation or
monitoring. The security key is programmed during the ashing of the microprocessor

and must match the encoder (SS2000+ or Commander) being used to activate the unit. A
key value of zero disables encryption and must be used if the encoder does not support
encryption. All sites in the system must use the same encryption key.

Security Key

The Security Key is a unique number assigned to the system that prevents nearby systems
operating on the same RF frequency from interfering. Like the encryption key, the

Security Key is programmed during the ashing of the microprocessor and must match
the encoder. 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.

Operations

NOTE:

• The microphone volume adjustment knob, labeled MIC GAIN, is located on

controller card front panel.

• Local PA overrides ALL siren functions activated either remotely or locally.

Relay Output (JP11)

The relay output is terminal block JP11, which is located at the bottom of the backplane
motherboard. Relay JP11 closes whenever a siren function is running. In PA mode, the
relay closes for approximately 30 seconds when the PTT button is released. The relay is
open while the MIC PTT button is pushed.

Figure 14 UVIC Controller Backplane Motherboard I/O

600 ohm Input/Output (JP12)

The 600 ohm input is at JP12 at the bottom of the backplane motherboard. Use JP12 to

make connections for activation and status monitoring of the unit over wire-lines. Also,
use this port to connect external audio sources to the amplication system. (See “Figure
14 UVIC Controller Backplane Motherboard I/O”.)

Remote Activation (JP14)

Terminal block JP14 at the bottom of the backplane motherboard is the Remote
Activation Inputs. Optionally, you can operate the UVIC controller by wired relays or
pushbuttons. Use terminal block JP14 for external interface equipment.

You can activate functions 1 through 7 by providing momentary, dry contact closure
between COM and the desired JP14 terminal. Shorting F1 to COM activates whatever
is programmed for code #1, shorting F2 to COM activates whatever is programmed for
code #2, and so on. A half second momentary contact duration is required.

To terminate an activated signal before it runs for the full duration, do the following:

provide a momentary contact closure between JP14 COM and F8 (RESET).

NOTE: No matter how F8 is programmed, F8 is a master reset or a stop switch.

Operations

Two-Way Sensor Package

The two-way sensor package uses a variety of sensors in the UVIC controller, which
when equipped with a two-way radio allows the remote units to communicate its status
back to the base station. This reduces station down time by quickly alerting operating
personnel to potential problems at remote units.

The package itself consist of sensors to provide information on the following conditions:

• AC Power

• Battery Voltage (built in)

• Charger Operation (built in)

• Activation Current (built in)

• Signal A (built in)

• Signal B (built in)

• Quiet Test (ampliers and drivers built in)

• Intrusion

All sensors are optically coupled to provide protection in electrical interface conditions.
Consult Federal Signal for further information.

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

57

Operations

Local Quiet Test

The Local Quiet test allows performing Quiet Tests on the siren control and siren speaker
array. Quiet Test uses a 20 kHz tone to quietly test the tone generators, ampliers, and
speaker drivers. To perform this test, program the Quiet Test under one of the activation
codes. If it is one of the rst 7 codes, activate it manually through the switches on
the front panel or with the remote activation inputs. Normally once the Quiet Test is

programmed under one of the activation codes, the code is activated over the radio
channel, the panel switches or with a local laptop computer running the Commander
Software System.

Operation

Obtain the results of a Quiet Test remotely using the SS2000+ printout or Commander.

Obtain the status locally at the siren site with a portable computer running Commander.

The actual amplier voltage and current are monitored with Quiet Test providing a true
indication of each amplier and load performance.

Finding Faults

When using Commander, the controller automatically updates the Quiet Test status each
time a new Quiet Test is run. Obtain the status from the status detail screen and from the

Reports menu.

Battery Charger

The battery charger monitors battery conditions, temperature and varies charge rate. It is
a multi-stage charger, charging both batteries simultaneously. The two batteries add up in
series to give the 24 Vdc required for controller operation.

The following table describes the wire connections on the charger.

Maintenance

Maintenance

Service and maintenance should be performed by qualied personnel familiar
with the UVIC, 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 UVIC.

To prevent the speakers from sounding, always turn off the power to the
UVIC at the AC disconnect and remove any DC power being supplied before
inspecting or maintaining the speakers.

Control Unit Preventive Maintenance

Test the UVIC 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 UVIC

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 operational:

1. When checking for proper control module output, unplug the terminal strip
connectors to the speakers (at the bottom of the system motherboard) 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 multimeter (DMM) to the amplier
module output terminal strip to observe the amplier output. This output should be at
least 67 V
sound output, plug in one amplier at a time during this test.

4. Plug all of the amplier terminal strip connectors to enable amplier outputs.
