1. INTRODUCING THE VOICE MODULE..........................................................4
Voice Module Main Features....................................................................4
The Voice module provides audible information about the status of
your ProSYS system, and enables any remote, touch-tone (DTMF)
telephone to act as a keypad for the system.
Upon event occurrence, such as alarm activation, the Voice
module informs you of a security situation, for example intrusion or
fire, by calling you and playing a pre-recorded Event
announcement. You can then acknowledge the event and
remotely operate the system, as described in the Voice Module Programming and Operations Manual.
Remote operation of the system includes a Listen and Talk option
that enables you to listen in to your property and talk back, if
necessary. It also includes the option to remotely activate or
deactivate up to eight home appliances
sprinkler systems and garage doors.
This guide discusses the tasks involved in installing the Voice
module.
Voice Module Main Features
The following is a list of the main features offered by the Voice
module:
Ø Remote DTMF operation
Ø Uncompromised security using access codes
Ø Smart voice answering detection
Ø Event acknowledgement
Ø User-friendly voice-prompt operation
Ø Large quantity of voice-synthesized messages
Ø User-recordable announcements
Ø Multi-point listen-in and announcement capability
for up to 150m away
Ø Tamper input
Ø Remote/Local test modes
Ø Three separate audio channels
Ø Omni-directional microphone
Ø Message b o x u nit integ r a tion
such as heating, lighting,

Mounting the Voice Module
The Voice module should be mounted inside the metal box with
the ProSYS Main Panel in order to make a connection between
the 2 units.
NOTE:
Allocate the Voice Module to the ProSYS security system according to
the described in the ProSYS Installation and Programming Manual.
Mounting the MBU
Mount at least one Message Box Unit (MBU) with buttons close
to a ProSYS system's keypad for easy messages recording.
A Message Box Unit (MBU) without buttons has to be mounted in
a place where Listen - In operation is to be performed.

2. Voice Module Components
The following diagram shows the layout of components in the
Voice module:
The following is a list of components in the Voice module:
Ø Channels, described on page 7.
Ø LED Indicators, described on page 9.
Ø Jumpers and Connectors, described on page 10.
Channels
The Voice module contains the following three channels, which are
located on the voice module PC board:
ØAudio Channel: Used for recording and announcing
messages. When recording messages for UOs, zones,
partitions and common message it is recommended to
connect to a Message Box Unit (MBU) that has buttons
to this channel. When the recording or message
announcement is performed, all MBUs work in parallel
and all microphones connected to this channel are
activated.
Voice Module Installation Guide 7
NOTES:
Both internal and external microphones can be used for recording.
In order to ensure the quality of the recording, connect the AUDIO channel to
a single MBU only and speak the message into that MBU's microphone. (For
more information about messages reco rding refer to the Voice Module Programming and Operations user manual) When you have finished
recording approximately ten MBUs can be connected in parallel.
ØListen-in Audio Channel: Used to listen and talk into the
premises when using the Listen and Talk option, as well
as for announcing messages. It is recommended to
connect the MBUs without buttons to this channel. When
the Listen and Talk option is used, all MBUs connected to
this channel work in parallel (Approximately ten units)
ØVoice Channel: Used for communication between the
Main Panel and the Voice Module. Connect the
supplied cable from the Main Panel to the JP2 (See
page 13).
NOTE:
The Voice terminals (IN COM OUT) are identical to the voice JP2
connector.

Slow Flash The LED starts to flash 15 seconds after
communication with the Bus is interrupted,
or during installation mode the voice
module is not defined in the system.
FM Comm LED
The Follow Me Comm LED indicates the status of
communication between the Voice module and the
remote FM phone.
Condition Description
Off There is no communication with the FM number.
On FM communication has been established.
Slow Flash The Voice module is in the process of calling t he
FM number.

Jumpers and Connectors
This section describes the jumpers and connectors contained on the
Voice module board.
Jumpers
The Voice module board contains the following three
jumpers:
Ø Jumper 1, described below.
Ø Jumper 2, for future use.
Ø Jumper 3, for future use.
Jumper 1
Jumper 1 is used to select an external or internal microphone
for recording messages. The following diagram shows the
placement of the of the selector on jumper 1 when recording
messages externally and internally:
EXT. INT.
ØExternal: Place the selector on the (EXT.) pins as
shown in the picture when recording messages from
a microphone located on an MBU.
ØInternal: Place the selector on the (INT.) pins as
shown in the picture when recording messages from
the microphone located on the Voice module
board.
NOTE:
The Jumper 1 selector must always be placed in either the EXT or the
INT position.

Connectors
The Voice module board contains the following two
connectors:
ØBUS: Connects the Voice module to the 4-wire Bus.
The AUX (RED), COM (BLK), BUS (YEL) and BUS (GRN)
terminals are identical to the BUS connector and can
be used for the same purpose.
NOTE:
Terminal Block wiring can be used instead the connection via JP1 as

connector on the ProSYS Main Panel via the su pplied
cable. This connector transmits signals from the Voice
module to the telephone line during remote
communication, and is essential for normal operation
of the Voice module.
NOTE:
An independently shielded cable can be used for a distance of up to 5
meters instead of the supplied cable.

12 Voice Module Installation Guide
RED BLK (Black) YEL (Yellow) GRN (Green)
The following connections should be made between the
Voice module terminal block and the MBU terminal block.
According to specific environment, it is recommended to
use one of the three cable types for the IN and OUT
connections between the MBU and the Voice module (for
both Audio and Listen In channels):
Electro-magnetically Noisy En vironment/Long Distance.
The shield should be grounded.
Electro-magnetically Unquiet Environment/Middle
Distance. The second wire should be grounded to COM.
NOTES:
Do not run wires close to power (110/230 VAC), high-voltage wiring or
any communication lines.
Do not wrap or roll wires.
All unused wires should be grounded by connecting them to the COM
terminal.
The maximum distance between each MBU and the Voice Module
should not exceed 150 meter.
MBU Connection Modes
The MBU can be connected to the Voice Module in the
following three modes:
Ø Messaging mode
Ø Listen - In mode
Ø Listen - In & Messaging mode
Terminal Block Wiring
