Preface
In this manual, the family of the DV-200 and DV-EM VoiceLink products are referred to as the Series DV-200.
The Series DV-200 provides record and playback capability. The Series DV-200 does not sense an emergency condition or
hazardous fires, but is only a part of a system that does sense such conditions. The Series DV-200, when activated by a control
panel, provides a pre-recorded tone and/or voice message to an audio system. When used as part of a protective signaling system,
the Series DV-200 must be properly connected to a compatible control panel that has been approved by a nationally recognized
testing laboratory ("LISTED") and/or a LISTED compatible audio system with LISTED compatible notification appliances for proper
operation.

Introduction
Wheelock's VoiceLink products provide unique digital recording, programming, storage, and playback capabilities to create versatile
and automated announcement systems. Figure 1 illustrates the basic capabilities of the Series DV-200.
The Series DV-200 can record voice, tones, and other sounds. The Series DV-200 can then playback the recorded voice, tones,
and other sounds through amplification equipment (not supplied with the Series DV-200) when instructed to do so by a contact
closure or an instruction over a serial link from other equipment. The Series DV-200 may also be used for programming message
files into a Series DV-100.
This manual describes the Series DV-200 which features:
circuits ("IC's") and a memory retention battery to power the memory IC's during power failure conditions.

is detected.
A SERIES DV-200 MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED, PROGRAMMED AND CONNECTED TO A COMPATIBLE CONTROL
PANEL AND AUDIO SYSTEM, AND A POWER SUPPLY, TO FUNCTION IN A VOICE ANNOUNCEMENT SYSTEM. THE
SERIES DV-200 OPERATES ONLY WITH REGULATED AND FILTERED DC VOLTAGE, NOT FULL-WAVE-RECTIFIED
VOLTAGE.
The control panel can range from simple push-buttons or detectors that provide contact closures to activate Series DV-200 files to
sophisticated, computer-based control panels that address Series DV-200 files through a serial port. Similarly, the audio system can
range from a simple amplified speaker to a large, multi-channel audio distribution system that may also be integrated with a zoned
telephone paging system. Wheelock offers a wide line of audio equipment to configure such systems.
Wheelock models; DV-100, DV-200, MDV-2, DX-100, DX-200, MDX-2 and DV-EM are UL 864 approved for use with Fire Alarm
Control Panels (FACP). The above models are used as accessory control units in UL 864 listed protective signaling systems. All
models have an operating voltage range of 11.0-29.0VDC. All are operated by a serial port or contact closure with an adjustable
output from 0.5-2.0VRMS.

Message Memory
The Series DV-200 has the ability to store up to sixteen minutes of audio. The audio is stored digitally on up to eight memory IC's.
Each memory IC can store up to two minutes of audio messages. See Figure 8 for the socket locations S63 thru S70 on the Series
DV-200 printed circuit board into which the eight memory IC's, U63 thru U70, are inserted.
These memory IC's are commonly referred to as pseudo static random access memories ("PSRAM's"). If the input power is
disconnected and the memory retention battery is or has been disconnected or discharged, the PSRAM IC's will be erased.
WARNING: IF THE INPUT POWER IS DISCONNECTED AND THE MEMORY RETENTION BATTERY IS OR HAS BEEN
Input and Output Options
Each Series DV-200 model includes 8 inputs that can be used to activate file numbers 1 through 8 with a contact closure or a
transistor switch across the corresponding input terminals. The optional digital voice expansion modules (“DV-EM”) can provide 32
inputs. When a Series DV-EM module is used, the 8 inputs in the Series DV-200 unit cannot be used. Up to 8 DV-EM’s can be
connected to a Series DV-200 for a total of 256 inputs.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT SERIES DV-200 OUTPUTS ARE CONNECTED TO A PROPERLY OPERATING, LISTED
The Series DV-200 is provided with a serial port, through which up to 999 files can be activated with digital commands. The contact
inputs in the Series DV-200 or Series DV-EM modules can be used along with the serial port. A command is required to start a
message, and a second command is required to stop the message. The operation is similar to closing an input contact (start) and
then reopening the contact (stop).
Up to four audio output channels are available with the Series DV-200. The audio output from each channel of the Series DV-200 is
through a 600 Ohm transformer and is designed to drive a load impedance of 600 Ohms or higher. The audio level of each channel
can be adjusted by a potentiometer on the PC board from -3.8 dBm to +8.2 dBm (0.5 to 2.0 Vrms). All Series DV-200 output
channels can be active simultaneously.
DISCONNECTED OR DISCHARGED, ALL MESSAGES IN THE PSRAM IC'S WILL BE ERASED. IF
STORED MESSAGES ARE ERASED, THEY WILL NOT BE DELIVERED TO THE AUDIO SYSTEM WHEN
INPUT POWER IS RESTORED. THIS COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

Message Files
All messages are stored in files within the Series DV-200 memory. Up to 999 message files can be stored. There is no limit on the
length of a message file (except for the limit imposed by total memory in the unit). There are two types of message files: voice files
and string files. Voice files are created by storing audio directly into the selected file number. String files are created by storing file
numbers of other message files into the selected file number. (See "file" and "string" definitions in glossary.) Each message file
must be assigned a priority level from 1 to 5 (1 is highest, 5 is lowest) and an output channel from 1 to 4. See “Output Channels”,
“File Priority”, and “Playing Files” sections for additional information.
WARNING: EACH MESSAGE MUST BE ASSIGNED ITS INTENDED OUTPUT CHANNEL AND PRIORITY LEVEL
String files reduce the message memory requirements by allowing many different message files to be created with a relatively small
library of voice files that contain custom words or phrases and using one or more of the six string file commands. The string file
commands are ADD, PAUSE, COMMON REPEAT, FILE REPEAT, TELEPHONE, and END. ADD is used to add a previously
created message file to the string. PAUSE is used to add a period of silence to the string. COMMON REPEAT is used to play the
next entered file number multiple times. FILE REPEAT is used to play the entire file again a specified number of times after the file
has been de-activated. TELEPHONE is used to add telephone numbers to a string file. END is used to finalize the string.
The following is an example of creating string files from a small library of voice files using the ADD command.
The following voice messages are recorded into the indicated file numbers:
“There is a fire on the” into file number 100
“First” into file number 101
“Second” into file number 102
“Third” into file number 103
“Floor” into file number 104
Create three string files as indicated:
File 1: ADD 100, ADD 101, ADD 104, END
File 2: ADD 100, ADD 102, ADD 104, END
File 3: ADD 100, ADD 103, ADD 104, END
When file number 1 is selected to play, “There is a fire on the first floor” will be played. When file number 2 is selected to play,
“There is a fire on the second floor” will be played. When file number 3 is selected to play, “There is a fire on the third floor” will be
played.
The following is an example of creating string files using the ADD command and the PAUSE command.
The following voice messages are recorded into the indicated file numbers:
“Welcome to Herbie’s” into file number 100
“Our fish are the freshest in town” into file number 101
Create a string file as follows:
File 1: ADD 100, PAUSE 10 seconds, ADD 101, END
When file number 1 is selected to play, “Welcome to Herbie’s”......(10 seconds of silence)......”Our fish are the freshest in town” will
be played.
The following is an example of creating string files using the ADD command and the COMMON REPEAT command.
The following voice messages are recorded into the indicated file numbers:
“Run” into file number 100
“to the nearest salesman” into file number 101
Create a string file as follows:
File 1: COMMON REPEAT 3 times, file number 100, ADD 101, END
When file number 1 is selected to play, “Run, Run, Run to the nearest salesman” will be played.
The following is an example of creating string files using the ADD command and the FILE REPEAT command.
The following voice message is recorded into the indicated file number:
“Thank you for buying Wheelock voice products” into file number 100
Create a string file as follows:
File 1: ADD 100, FILE REPEAT 3 times
When file number 1 is selected to play, “Thank you for buying Wheelock voice products” will be played. The file will play
continuously as long as the file is activated. After the file is de-activated, the file will play three additional times. A momentary
activation will play the message four times. The FILE REPEAT command must be the last item in the string.
The following is an example of creating string files using the ADD command and the TELEPHONE command.
The following voice message is recorded into the indicated file number:
“A fire has been detected at 101 Main Street” into file number 100
Create a string file as follows:
DV-200 Manual Sheet 10 of 40
Rev. G August 2000
DURING PROGRAMMING OR THE MESSAGE WILL NOT BE PLAYED WHEN AND WHERE REQUIRED.
THIS COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR
OTHERS.
File 1: TELEPHONE 555-0100, TELEPHONE 555-1212
TELEPHONE 555-4949, ADD 100, END
When file number 1 is selected to play, the phone number 555-0100 is called. If the line is busy or the call is unanswered, the
phone number will be tried two more times. After the third attempt, the next number in the string file is called. If three attempts to
that number fail, the next number in the string file is called, and so on. If the last phone number in the string file also fails three
times, the process starts over with the first phone number.
If at any point the called phone number is answered, the message “A fire has been detected at 101 Main Street” is played. Within
30 seconds of the end of the message, the digital voice module expects to hear an acknowledge code from the person receiving the
message. If the acknowledge code is not received, the digital voice module treats the call the same as a line busy or an
unanswered call. The acknowledge code expected is a “1-2-3” dialed from a touch-tone phone. When the acknowledge code is
received, the digital voice terminates the file, and no other calls are made.
The TELEPHONE command is only available to use in string files programmed for channel 1 with no secondary channels.
TELEPHONE commands must be the first commands entered into the string. Once any other command has been selected when
creating a string file, the TELEPHONE command is prohibited from being used.
Output Channels
The Series DV-200 may be configured with between one and four output channels. Installed output channels are labeled
consecutively 1 to 4, as necessary. Message files may be programmed to play out any combination of the four output channels.
When a message file is programmed to play out multiple output channels, the message will not necessarily play simultaneously on
all selected output channels.
File Priority
The priority of a file playing on one channel will not affect the priority of files playing on any other channel. Priority levels are 1 thru
5, 1 being highest, 5 being lowest.
Priority 1 and Priority 2 files WILL interrupt any file with a lower priority that is playing through the same output channel. Priority 3
and Priority 4 files will NOT interrupt lower priority files but will begin playing immediately upon completion of any lower priority file.
Any file that is interrupted by a higher priority file before it has completed playing will remain on the channel queue until it is allowed
to replay completely.
If two or more files of equal priority are activated, the files will play sequentially as long as the files are activated.
Priority 4 and Priority 5 files may be acknowledged. Files are acknowledged by the reception of an acknowledge command on the
serial port or activation of the acknowledge input. Acknowledged files will play one more time and then be removed from the queue.
Dry contact activated files must have their input released and then reactivated to play again. Serial command activated files must
have another serial start command transmitted to play again.
Files of all priority levels may be reset. Files are reset by the reception of a reset command on the serial port or activation of the
reset input. Reset files will stop immediately and are removed from the queue. Dry contact activated files must have their input
released and then reactivated to play again. Serial command activated files must have another serial start command transmitted to
play again.
Note: In the United States the latest NFPA guidelines and standards provide that life safety/fire notification alarm tone(s) and voice
message(s) are the only alarm tone(s) and message(s) that shall be assigned priority 1 for all Series DV-200 output
channel(s) assigned to either a dedicated life safety/fire alarm protective signaling system or the life safety/fire alarm system
portion of an integrated multi-function system.
Acknowledge Playing Files
All priority 4 and priority 5 files may be acknowledged. Files activated by a dry contact input may be acknowledged by activating the
acknowledge dry contact input. Files activated by a serial command may be acknowledged by the serial acknowledge command.
Files which have been acknowledged will play one more time and then be removed from the queue. String files which have been
programmed with a file repeat will play the number of times selected by the file repeat option and then be removed from the queue.
Dry contact activated files which have been acknowledged must have their input released and then reactivated to play again. Serial
command activated files which have been acknowledged must have another serial start command transmitted to play again.
Any dry contact input may be selected to be the acknowledge input. An input selected to be the acknowledge input may not be used
to activate files to play. The acknowledge input feature may be disabled by selecting input 0 to be the acknowledge input. The
acknowledge input selection is located in the SETUP procedure from the main menu.
DV-200 Manual Sheet 11 of 40
Rev. G August 2000
Reset Playing Files
Files of all priority levels may be reset. Files activated by a dry contact input may be reset by activating the reset dry contact input.
Files activated by a serial command may be reset by the serial reset command. Files which have been reset will stop playing
immediately and be removed from the queue. Dry contact activated files which have been reset must have their input released and
then reactivated to play again. Serial command activated files which have been reset must have another serial start command
transmitted to play again.
Any dry contact input may be selected to be the reset input. An input selected to be the reset input may not be used to activate files
to play or to be the acknowledge input. The reset input feature may be disabled by selecting input 0 to be the reset input. The reset
input selection is located in the SETUP procedure from the main menu.
Note: The reset switch must be located within a locked enclosure.
Playing Files
The Series DV-200 stores message file activation’s in a separate queue (see "queue" definition in glossary) for each output channel.
Files can be added to the queue by a contact activation or a serial port start command. Files in each queue are played in the order
of file priority. Equal priority files are played in the order of activation.
When a contact activation is detected, the programmed message file is placed on the programmed queue. The contact input is then
not checked for activation again until the message file completes playing. Therefore, a momentary contact closure will only play a
message file once and a maintained contact closure will continuously repeat a message file as long as its input is held activated
(unless it is interrupted by a higher priority file, played alternately with other equal priority files, acknowledged, or reset).

When a valid serial port start command is received, the programmed message file is placed on the programmed queue. Each time
the file completes playing, the Series DV-200 checks to see if a valid serial port stop command has been received. If one has been
received, the message file is removed from the queue. As long as the file is on the queue, it will repeat continuously (unless it is
interrupted by a higher priority file, played alternately with other equal priority files, acknowledged, or reset).
System Pause
The ability to have a pause between messages is provided. Having a pause between all playing messages prevents messages
from “running together” and then being misunderstood. The system pause may be any value from 1 to 999 seconds.
Supervision
A trouble condition indicates that the supervision functions have detected a malfunction in the Series DV-200. When a trouble
condition is detected, the Series DV-200 may not be able to receive and/or remember message requests from the control panel.
The installer and/or user must make sure that any message requests to the Series DV-200 during a trouble condition are reactivated
if necessary when the Series DV-200 returns to normal.
If a trouble condition is detected by any of the supervision functions, the Series DV-200 Form C status relay (normally energized)
will change state, the green system normal LED will turn off, and the amber trouble LED will turn on. The status relay contact
closure must be properly connected to and used by the control panel to indicate a system trouble. At the same time, the amber
trouble LED will identify if: (1) The Series DV-200 unit is inoperative (steady light) or (2) Troubleshooting is required (coded blinking
light). If a trouble condition is indicated, follow the procedures in the "Troubleshooting and Servicing" section.
WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE THE SERIES DV-200 IN A TROUBLE CONDITION, AS IT MAY NOT PLAY WARNING
WARNING: MESSAGES REQUESTED BEFORE AND DURING A TROUBLE CONDITION MAY NOT BE HEARD, WHICH
Input Voltage Supervision
Input voltage is supervised, and if the input voltage drops below the operating minimum voltage, the Series DV-200 will stop
operating and indicate a trouble condition. The input voltage is also supervised for ground faults.
Program Memory Supervision
The Series DV-200's program memory is supervised using sumcheck error techniques to detect any changes in EPROM data
storage. If an error is detected, the Series DV-200 will stop operating and indicate a trouble condition.
Message Memory Supervision
The Series DV-200’s message memory is supervised using sumcheck error techniques to detect any changes in PSRAM data
storage. If an error is detected, the Series DV-200 will stop operating and indicate a trouble condition.
MESSAGES WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
YOU AND/OR OTHERS. IF THE SERIES DV-200 INDICATES A TROUBLE CONDITION: (1) PROVIDE UL
REQUIRED ALTERNATIVE SIGNALING AND (2) HAVE QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONS IMMEDIATELY
REPLACE UNIT(S) THAT HAVE MALFUNCTIONED.
COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.
IF MESSAGES REQUESTED BEFORE AND DURING A TROUBLE CONDITION ARE STILL NECESSARY,
THEY SHOULD BE REPEATED WHEN THE SERIES DV-200 IS RETURNED TO NORMAL.
