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.

Page 12

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

Page 13

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).

"acknowledge" definition in Glossary.)

(See

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.

DV-200 Manual Sheet 12 of 40 Rev. G August 2000

Page 14

Microprocessor Supervision

The Series DV-200 has a watchdog circuit that supervises the processor and resets it (if necessary) or maintains a trouble condition if the processor cannot be restarted. The watchdog circuit constantly monitors the execution of the processor program, and if the processor program fails to function properly, will attempt to reset and restart the processor.

Expansion Module Supervision

If there are any Series DV-EM modules connected to the Series DV-200, the Series DV-200 will automatically detect their presence. It will then monitor these modules. Thereafter, if any module is disconnected, the Series DV-200 will indicate a trouble condition.

Input Line Supervision

All input lines (for contact closure or transistor activation) are supervised for open circuits and ground faults. Input line supervision requires a LISTED 10K end-of-line resistor to be installed on each input including all unused and unsupervised inputs. Internal Series DV-200/DV-EM circuitry is also supervised.

To comply with NFPA requirements for interconnection of fire alarm control equipment, the Series DV-200/DV-EM units must be located in the same room as, and within 20 feet of, a listed compatible fire alarm control panel and a listed compatible audio system, or a listed compatible audio system, with the wiring enclosed in conduit and properly connected to such panel.

WARNING: THE INPUT LINE SUPERVISION DETECTS ONLY OPEN CIRCUITS AND GROUND FAULTS. IF THE

Audio Supervision

The audio circuitry of each output channel is supervised up to the secondary of the output transformer. When a message is playing, a trouble condition is indicated if an audio signal is not detected for more than 3 seconds or a low impedance load (less than 600

)

is connected to the output. An audio signal not detected or low impedance load detected trouble condition will clear

Ohms automatically as soon as audio is detected or the low impedance load is no longer detected, respectively. When no messages are playing, the circuitry is continuously supervised for functionality. If a circuitry failed condition is detected, a trouble condition is indicated.

CAUTION:

Serial Port Supervision

The Series DV-200 can receive instructions over a serial port. The protocol used on the serial port is described in Appendix A. If a second, optional protocol is provided on the serial port, it is described in Appendix B.

The serial port is supervised for communication errors and ground faults. A trouble condition will be indicated if a communication error is detected, the Series DV-200 does not select a file, or the received command is not understood. The trouble condition will return to normal with the next valid command received. See Appendix A (and B, if applicable) for additional serial port information.

The Series DV-200 also provides a response for each command received through the serial port. If so programmed, the control panel can supervise the serial port by receiving and comparing the response of each transmitted command. The control panel can both verify the integrity of the physical connection of the serial communication line and the integrity of the commands received by the Series DV-200.

CAUTION:

Ground Fault Supervision

The Series DV-200 has the ability to supervise for ground fault conditions on field wiring that is not electrically isolated. The supervised wiring includes contact inputs and serial port wiring. All other wiring is electrically isolated. Ground fault supervision may be enabled and disabled by placing the “GROUND FAULT ENABLE/DISABLE” jumper (JP2) on the digital voice module in the desired position. See Figure 8 for the location of the jumper JP2 on the digital voice module.

Memory Retention Battery Supervision

The memory retention battery is supervised for correct placement and functionality. The battery is not supervised for level of charge. The battery is checked by the circuitry once every 5 minutes.

Telephone Line Supervision

When a telephone string file is selected to play out channel 1, channel 1’s line out is supervised for connection to a telephone line. The telephone line is supervised by monitoring the telephone line’s DC voltage and by detecting the proper call progress tones. If either of these two parameters are not correct, the Series DV-200 will indicate a trouble condition.

Telephone string files are also supervised for correct reception by the intended party. If three consecutive call attempts to the same phone number go unanswered and/or unacknowledged, the Series DV-200 will indicate a trouble condition.

INPUT LINE SUPERVISION IS NOT INSTALLED AS INDICATED, THE SERIES DV-200 WILL BE UNABLE TO DETECT OPEN CIRCUITS AND GROUND FAULTS ON THE INPUT LINE WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS. A SHORT ON ANY INPUT LINE WILL BE INTERPRETED AS AN UNINTERRUPTED ACTIVATION OF THAT FILE.

External audio wiring is NOT supervised by the Series DV-200. Wheelock strongly recommends that the control panel be designed to supervise the audio wiring.

External wiring to/from the serial port of the Series DV-200 is NOT supervised by the Series DV-200. Wheelock

strongly recommends that the control panel be programmed to use the Series DV-200's serial response capability (described in Appendix A or B if applicable) to verify the integrity of the serial communications link and to record any communication errors for corrective action.

Standby Battery Calculations

To calculate standby battery ampere-hour capacity needed to back-up the Series DV-200 system power based on maximum input current and number of output channels utilized, refer to the "Technical Specifications" section of this manual.

Note the indicated "stand-by" and "alarm" currents for the channel options supplied with your Series DV-200 model. Calculate the battery capacity needed for the Series DV-200 equipment based on the required hours of standby and alarm operation for your control system. Add this Series DV-200 capacity requirement to the capacity required for the rest of your control system.

Access Key and Password Protection

The Series DV-200 incorporates access key and password protection to prevent unauthorized use of the keypad. Passwords may be any number from 0 to 999. The password must be entered correctly to access any system functions.

The initial password is 111. It is strongly recommended that this password be changed. Instructions for changing passwords are given in the "Setup" section of Appendix C.

Once the password is entered correctly, the user has access to all system functions. If at any time the user has accessed a system function, but failed to utilize it for at least five minutes, the accessed system function will cease and the enter password screen will be displayed. The password then must be re-entered and the system function reaccessed.

Note

: The access key and password should only be given to authorized and properly trained personnel who are responsible for

the operation, testing, and maintenance of the Series DV-200.

Memory Retention Battery

The Series DV-200 contains a memory retention battery to power the PSRAM IC's during periods when input power has been disconnected from the Series DV-200. The battery's only function is to prevent the message files stored in the PSRAM IC's from being lost. The memory retention battery powers no other circuitry.

The Series DV-200 contains battery charging circuitry to maintain the battery at full charge. The charging circuitry has two charging rates, fast charge and trickle charge. The fast charge cycle is initiated whenever input power is connected to the Series DV-200 and lasts for 24 hours. After 24 hours the fast charge cycle is terminated and the trickle charge cycle is initiated and will remain on as long as input power remains connected to the Series DV-200.

The memory retention battery duration times for new fully charged batteries during periods of power loss, is shown in Table 1 below.

Note: The memory retention battery in the Series DV-200 is shipped in a completely discharged state.

CAUTION:

WARNING: IF THE INPUT POWER IS DISCONNECTED AND THE MEMORY RETENTION BATTERY IS OR HAS BEEN

If for any reason the input power is disconnected and the memory retention battery is or has been disconnected or discharged and all messages in the PSRAM IC's are erased, all messages will have to be reprogrammed into the Series DV-200 once input power is reconnected.

As batteries age, they lose their ability to charge completely. The memory retention battery should be replaced at least once per year to ensure optimum battery performance.

Message Recording

WARNING: PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE SIGNALING MEANS WHILE REPROGRAMMING MESSAGES TO ASSURE

To aid qualified personnel in performing necessary operational testing procedures, a script, listing all messages programmed in the SAFEPATH panel, must be kept with the SAFEPATH panel.

This chapter describes the message recording procedures for the Series DV-200. Included is information about the following Series DV-200 capabilities:

•

Setting Volume Controls

•

Recording a Voice File

•

Creating a String File

•

Transferring Data

Performing the following procedures requires a knowledge of the display and keypad operation. Operation of the display and keypad is explained in Appendix C. Appendix C must be read and understood before proceeding.

Setting Volume Controls

The Series DV-200’s record circuit has one microphone input volume control and one auxiliary input volume control. The playback circuit contains one volume control for each of the four output channels. The locations of the six volume controls on the Series DV200 are shown in Figure 2. Note that all volume controls can be accessed without removing the printed circuit board cover.

The two input volume controls determine the record level of messages from each of the two sources. If the input volume controls are set too high the Analog-to-Digital converter circuit will be overdriven and/or the input preamps will have clipped outputs. Either of these two conditions will cause distortion. If the input volume controls are set too low the Analog-to-Digital converter circuit will be underdriven. This will cause distortion and louder than normal background noise.

The four output channel volume controls determine the playback level of messages on each of the output channels. If the output channel volume controls are set too high, the output channel amplifiers will have clipped outputs causing distortion. If the output channel volume controls are set too low, the Series DV-200 may not detect the audio level properly.

Before recording messages the input volume controls and the output channel volume controls should be set according to the procedures set forth below.

Input Volume Control Adjustment Procedure

1. Set output channel volume control to minimum.

2. Set input volume control to maximum.

3. Record a message.

4. Play message. If message sounds distorted, decrease the input volume control. Repeat from step 3.

Output Channel Volume Control Adjustment Procedure

1. Set output channel volume control to minimum.

2. Play a message. If message volume is too low, or if an output channel error is detected, increase the output volume control.

Repeat from step 2.

ADEQUATE PROTECTION OF PEOPLE AND PROPERTY. FAILURE TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE SIGNALING MAY CAUSE PEOPLE TO NOT BE WARNED OF AN EMERGENCY CONDITION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

Transferring Data

The Series DV-200 is capable of downloading files and system configuration data from itself to a Series DV-100 or another Series DV-200. Files may be either voice files or string files. System configuration data includes system pause information.

The Series DV-200 containing the data to be downloaded is referred to as the source Series DV-200. The digital voice panel (Series DV-100 or Series DV-200) that is to receive the downloaded data is referred to as the destination digital voice panel. To download data, the source Series DV-200 and destination digital voice panel must be setup and connected as follows:

1. Connect the J2 (see Figure 8) connectors on both digital voice panels using Wheelock Model Number CAB-P cable (not

supplied with the digital voice panels, must be ordered separately).

2. Place the communication mode jumpers (JP1) on each of the digital voice panels in position A. See Figure 8 for the location of

the jumper (JP1) on the Series DV-200 printed circuit board and Figure 8 in the Series DV-100 VoiceLink Operation and Installation Manual for the location of the jumper JP1 on the Series DV-100 printed circuit board.

Wiring Guidelines

Although the Series DV-200 incorporates signal verification and noise filtering circuitry on its input, induced voltages or noise on the input wiring can cause improper operation. Therefore, use shielded twisted pair wire for all file input wiring. The audio output lines (and the auxiliary music input lines) should also be wired with shielded twisted pair to minimize noise pick-up. For all other connections, twisted pair is recommended to reject common mode noise, but shielding is optional.

The shield of each cable should be connected only at one end. Each shield of each cable that connects to the Series DV-200 is to connect to the grounding points provided near the knockout locations on the chassis (see Figure 3).

WARNING: ALL SERIES DV-200 DRY CONTACT INPUT WIRING AND AUDIO WIRING SHOULD BE ROUTED AWAY

The National Electrical Code defines two types of circuits for protective signaling systems:

Dry Contact Input Wiring The dry contact inputs shall be dry contacts or open collector devices. Dry contacts or open collectors from multiple devices may be connected in parallel as shown in Hook-up A in Figure 4. If multiple inputs are located at the same location, the (-) input leg may be commoned to reduce wiring requirements as shown in Hook-up B in Figure 4. Each input circuit must have a LISTED 10K end-ofline resistor across the last input contact. All unused or unsupervised inputs must have a LISTED 10K end-of-line resistor installed across input terminals. The LISTED 10K end-of-line resistors must have a 1/8W minimum power rating and 5% maximum tolerance.

Series DV-200 dry contact inputs meet the requirements for power limited fire protective signaling circuits as defined in the National Electrical Code. Each input meets Class B, Style B supervision requirements for initiating device circuits.

The gauge of the wire necessary for dry contact input wiring may vary for each dry contact input. The field wiring for each dry contact input shall not exceed 100 ohms of resistance and 0.050 microfarads of capacitance.

Audio Output Wiring One audio output is provided per zone. A detail of the audio output terminal connections is shown in Figure 5. Determination of wire gauge should consider all factors including loop length, audio output level, amplifier input sensitivity, audio output impedance, and amplifier input impedance.

Music Input Wiring One music input is provided per zone. A detail of the music input terminal connections is shown in Figure 5. Determination of wire gauge should consider all factors including music input loop length, audio output loop length, music source output level, amplifier input sensitivity, music source output impedance, and amplifier input impedance.

Channel Playing Contact Wiring One channel play contact is provided per zone. It is normally open and is rated for 0.5 Amps at 24VDC resistive load. A detail of the channel play contact terminal connections is shown in Figure 5. Determination of wire gauge should consider all factors, including loop length, maximum current capacity and maximum voltage drop allowable.

Input Voltage Wiring A detail of the input voltage terminal connections is shown in Figure 6. Determination of wire gauge for the input voltage wiring should consider all factors, including loop length, power supply voltage, maximum Series DV-200 current consumption, and input voltage range of Series DV-200.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE WIRING USED FOR INPUT VOLTAGE WIRING IS LARGE ENOUGH TO CARRY THE MAXIMUM CURRENT REQUIRED BY THE SERIES DV-200 WITHOUT EXCESSIVE VOLTAGE DROP. IF VOLTAGE DROPS FROM POWER SUPPLY LOADING AND WIRING RESISTANCE ARE NOT WITHIN THE SPECIFIED OPERATING VOLTAGE RANGE, THE SERIES DV200 WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.

Series DV-EM Wiring One Series DV-EM port is provided. This port allows up to eight Series DV-EM’s to be connected to the Series DV-200. Attach the first Series DV-EM (J1, male plug) to the Series DV-200 (J1, female socket) with cable assembly CAB-EM. See Figure 8 for the location of J1 on the Series DV-200 printed circuit board and Figure 1 in the Series DV-EM VoiceLink Operation and Installation Manual for the location of connectors on the Series DV-EM printed circuit board. Connect the cable's male plug to the J1 female socket on the right-side bottom of the Series DV-200. Connect the cable's female socket to the J1 male plug on the left-side of the Series DV-EM. To install additional Series DV-EMs, attach the next Series DV-EM (J1, male plug) to the previous Series DV-EM (J2, female socket). Optionally, the Series DV-EMs can also be interconnected using the CAB-EM cable assembly.

Do not substitute alternate cables or connect field wiring to the eight series DV-200 dry contact inputs when any DV-EM modules are used, as the series DV-200 may fail to operate properly.

RS-232 Port Wiring One RS-232 port is provided. It is a ten wire interface. The pin out of the RS-232 port is shown in Figure 9. The field wiring required will be a function of the protocol implemented. See Figure A (and B, if applicable) for protocol information.

For RS-232 wiring, connect an RS-232 cable (not supplied) from the control panel to the J2 female socket on the left-side bottom of the Series DV-200. See Figure 8 for location of J2 on Series DV-200.

Current RS-232 specifications limit RS-232 communication paths to 50 feet in length. A particular installation may be limited to shorter paths depending on factors such as wire gauge and wire capacitance.

RS-485 Port Wiring One RS-485 port is optional. It is a four wire interface. The pin out of the RS-485 port is shown in Figure 10. The field wiring required will be a function of the protocol implemented. See Appendix B, if applicable, for protocol information.

Field Wiring Checkout

Refer to NFPA for guidelines on testing signaling system wiring.

CAUTION:

Verify that the field wiring is in full agreement with this manual and with the detailed wiring layout prepared for this installation.

Ensure that no unwanted voltages are present on circuit conductors and ground. Test all ungrounded connectors for electrical isolation from ground. Test all wires that are not intentionally connected for electrical isolation from each other. Measure and record the resistance of each circuit pair (this can be done by temporarily short circuiting one end of the circuit).

Do not connect input voltage to any equipment until the field wiring has been inspected and approved.

System Checkout

Refer to NFPA for guidelines on testing signaling systems.

When rated input voltage is applied to the Series DV-200, the unit initializes its program and broadcasts a tone signal through each output channel for several seconds. The green system normal LED indicator should be on to indicate normal operation. If the amber system trouble LED is on, a trouble condition is indicated. Refer to the "Troubleshooting and Servicing" section to diagnose and correct the trouble condition.

The system checkout should include:

1. Testing all inputs and outputs.

2. Testing all connections to equipment that is interconnected with the Series DV-200.

3. Testing all message files for proper audibility, intelligibility, content and priority.

If a malfunction is discovered during testing, the problem should be corrected immediately before continuing with testing.

WARNING: ALL PROTECTIVE SIGNALING SYSTEMS REQUIRE PERIODIC TESTING. ALL PROTECTIVE SIGNALING

SYSTEM EQUIPMENT SHALL BE TESTED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR FOR PROPER OPERATION, OR MORE OFTEN IF REQUIRED BY CODES, REGULATIONS AND LAWS. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN AND TEST PROTECTIVE SIGNALING SYSTEM EQUIPMENT CAN RESULT IN NOT DETECTING EQUIPMENT FAILURE THAT CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

Ground Fault Detection Sensitivity Adjustment

The resistance at which a ground fault will be detectable is adjustable. The Series DV-200 ground fault detection sensitivity can be adjusted between 40K and 500K Ohms. Selecting a high sensitivity (high resistance) will have a fast response to ground fault conditions, but may also cause a high number of false trouble conditions. Selecting a low sensitivity (low resistance) will greatly reduce the susceptibility to false trouble conditions, but will slow the response to ground fault conditions.

Before the following adjustment procedure is performed, all trouble conditions must be corrected (cleared) and the "GROUND FAULT ENABLE ("EN")/DISABLE ("DIS") jumper placed in the enable position.

NOTE

: The ground fault detection sensitivity setpoint must be approved by the authorities having jurisdiction.

Adjustment Procedure

1. Disconnect the wire between the earth ground terminal on the printed circuit board (see Figure 8) and earth ground.

2. Rotate the shaft of the Ground Fault Detection Sensitivity potentiometer (R123) fully counter clockwise (See Figure 8). The potentiometer is a twelve turn device, so the shaft will probably have to be rotated a number of times. The potentiometer will make a clicking sound as it is rotated past its end point.

3. Place a resistor with the desired setpoint value between the positive side of the input voltage and the earth ground terminal on the printed circuit board.

4. Slowly rotate the shaft of the Ground Fault Detection Sensitivity potentiometer clockwise. When a ground fault is indicated by the trouble LED's, the sensitivity setpoint is set correctly.

5. Disconnect the resistor used to set the sensitivity level.

6. Reconnect the wire between the earth ground terminal on the printed circuit board and earth ground.

DV-200 Manual Sheet 30 of 40 Rev. G August 2000

Page 32

Procedure A

If the green system normal LED, the amber system trouble LED, and the amber trouble indicator LED are off, the Series DV-200 may be completely inoperative due to power loss. This condition is caused by:

1. Input voltage is not within proper range or polarity is incorrect.

2. Blown fuse (F2) on Series DV-200.

3. One or more LED's are broken.

Perform the following:

1. Verify that input voltage is within proper range and that polarity is correct.

2. Check fuse (F2) on Series DV-200.

If, after the above procedure is completed, the trouble condition persists, the trouble condition is caused by broken LED's on the Series DV-200. The LED's on the Series DV-200 are not field replaceable. Series DV-200's with broken LED's shall be replaced immediately, following the Replacement Procedure, set forth previously in this section.

Procedure B

If the green system normal LED is off, the amber system trouble LED is on, and the amber trouble indicator LED is off, the Series DV-200 may be completely inoperative. This condition is caused by:

1. Too low input voltage on the Series DV-200.

2. Missing or improperly inserted program memory EPROM.

3. Broken amber trouble indicator LED (Series DV-200 is operative if this is the cause).

4. Failed circuitry on the Series DV-200.

Perform the following:

1. Verify that the input voltage exceeds the minimum operating voltage.

2. Verify that the program memory EPROM is present and inserted into S46 properly.

3. Attempt to play a message file. If the file plays then the amber trouble indicator LED is broken.

If, after the above procedure is completed, the trouble condition persists, the trouble condition is caused by failed circuitry on the Series DV-200. There are no field correctable failed circuitry problems on the Series DV-200. Series DV-200's with failed circuitry shall be replaced immediately, following the Replacement Procedure, set forth previously in this section.

Procedure C

If the green system normal LED is off, the amber system trouble LED is on, and the amber trouble indicator LED is steady on, the Series DV-200 is partially or completely inoperative. The Series DV-200 can be rendered inoperative by:

1. Too low input voltage on the Series DV-200.

2. Failed audio channel on the Series DV-200.

3. Other failed circuitry on the Series DV-200.

If the error was either due to the first or third cause, the Series DV-200 will not play messages. If the error was due to the third cause, the serial port might be functioning properly, depending on what circuitry failed. If the error was due to the second cause, the Series DV-200 might play messages and the serial port will function properly.

When the Series DV-200 is rendered inoperative, perform the following:

1. Verify that the input voltage exceeds the minimum operating voltage.

2. Attempt to play messages on all installed audio channels.

DV-200 Manual Sheet 31 of 40 Rev. G August 2000

Page 33

Procedure D

If the green system normal LED is off, the amber system trouble LED is on, and the amber trouble indicator LED flashes a 2-blink pattern, a message memory PSRAM error has occurred. A message memory PSRAM error may be caused by:

1. No messages programmed into message memory PSRAM's.

2. Missing or improperly installed message memory PSRAM's

3. One or more of the messages were not programmed completely.

4. Failed circuitry on the Series DV-200.

If the error was due to one of the first three causes, the trouble will clear automatically when the cause is corrected. The first three causes should only occur when power is first turned on to the Series DV-200.

When a message memory error is indicated, perform the following:

1. Verify that there is at least one message programmed into the message memory PSRAM's.

2. Verify that all message memory PSRAM's are inserted into their sockets properly.

3. Verify that new blank PSRAM's were installed into the Series DV-200 in the correct order. Example: A PSRAM must be installed in S64 before a PSRAM can be installed in S65; PSRAM's must be installed in S64 and S65 before a PSRAM can be installed in S66, etc. Note that a PSRAM must always be installed in S63.

4. Verify that there are no partially programmed messages on the message memory PSRAM's. This must be done using commands on the serial port.

Procedure E

If the green system normal LED is off, the amber system trouble LED is on, and the amber trouble indicator LED flashes 3-blink pattern, an input error has occurred. An input error may be caused by:

1. Open field wiring.

2. No end-of-line resistor on an input line.

3. Inputs on Series DV-200 are also being used when Series DV-EM's are being used.

4. Previously installed Series DV-EM is no longer detected by Series DV-200.

5. Failed circuitry on Series DV-200 or Series DV-EM.

If the error was due to one of the first four causes, the trouble will clear automatically when the cause is corrected.

When an input error is indicated, perform the following:

1. Check all input wiring for open circuits.

2. Verify that all supervised input wiring has a 10K end-of-line resistor across last input device.

3. Verify that all unsupervised inputs or unused inputs have 10K resistors mounted at terminal blocks. (If Series DV-EM's are used, the eight unused Series DV-200 inputs shall not mounted on the printed circuit board.)

4. If Series DV-EM's are installed, remove any field wiring from eight Series DV-200 inputs.

5. A previously installed Series DV-EM is no longer detected. Note that once a Series DV-EM has been installed, the Series DV200 will always check for it and give a trouble condition if it doesn't detect it.

have 10K resistors installed. Note that DV-EM's have these 10K resistors

DV-200 Manual Sheet 32 of 40 Rev. G August 2000

Page 34

Procedure F

If the green system normal LED is off, the amber system trouble LED is on, and the amber trouble indicator LED flashes a 4-blink pattern, an audio channel error has occurred. An audio channel error may be caused by:

1. Too low audio level while playing a message.

2. Pause in message while playing a message.

3. The audio output is loaded down by a low impedance input device.

4. Additional output channel IC(s) not installed in sequence.

5. Missing or improperly replaced audio channel.

6. Failed audio channel on Series DV-200.

If the error occurs while playing a file, the error was due to one of the first three possible causes. If the error occurs immediately after turning on power to the Series DV-200, the error was due to one of the last three possible causes.

If the error was due to too low of an audio level or a pause while playing a message, the trouble will clear automatically when audio is again detected while a message is playing. If the error was due to the audio output being loaded down, the trouble will clear automatically when the output is no longer loaded down while a message is playing. If the error was due to a missing or improperly replaced output channel IC, the trouble will clear automatically when the IC is correctly in place and input power is cycled off and on.

When an audio channel error is indicated, perform the following:

1. Turn up volume on Series DV-200.

2. Re-record message, shortening duration of the pause.

3. Check impedance of line output wiring and impedance of input device.

4. Verify that output channel IC's were installed in proper sequence. Example: IC’s must be installed in S21 and S4 before IC’s can be installed in S22 and S6; IC's must be installed in S21, S4, S22, and S6 before ICs can be installed in S23 and S9.

5. Check for properly inserted output channel IC's (in sockets S21, S4, S22, S6, S23, and S9). Note that once an IC has been inserted into sockets S21, S22, and S23 the Series DV-200 will always check for it and give a trouble condition if it doesn't see it.

Procedure G

If the green system normal LED is off, the amber system trouble LED is on, and the amber trouble indicator LED flashes a 5-blink pattern, a serial port communication error has occurred. A serial port communication error may be part caused by:

1. Invalid command received.

2. Incorrect baud rate.

3. Incorrect data format.

4. Parity error.

5. Framing error.

If the error was due to an invalid command received, the trouble will clear automatically on the next valid command received. If the error was due to an incorrect baud rate or data format, the trouble will clear automatically after first valid data byte is received with correct baud rate and data format. If the error was due to a parity or framing error, the trouble will clear automatically after the next valid data byte is received.

When a serial communication error is indicated, perform the following:

1. Verify that the Series DV-200 is connected to a system which supports the Wheelock serial port protocol and provides the correct data format.

2. Transmit a valid command to the Series DV-200 through the serial port.

DV-200 Manual Sheet 33 of 40 Rev. G August 2000

Page 35

Procedure H

If the green system normal LED is off, the amber system trouble LED is on, and the amber trouble indicator LED flashes a 6-blink pattern, a ground fault has been detected. A ground fault detected error may be caused by:

1. Contact input wiring shorted to earth ground.

2. DV-EM cable wiring shorted to earth ground.

3. RS-232 or RS-485 wiring shorted to earth ground.

4. Input power wiring shorted to earth ground.

5. Ground fault detection sensitivity is set too high.

6. Failed ground fault detection circuitry on Series DV-200.

If the error was due to one of the first five causes, the trouble will clear automatically when the cause is corrected.

When a ground fault detected error is indicated, perform the following:

1. Check all contact input wiring for ground faults.

2. Check all DV-EM cabling for ground faults.

3. Check all RS-232 and RS-485 wiring for ground faults.

4. Check all input power wiring for ground faults.

5. Decrease the ground fault detection sensitivity level, following the adjustment procedure set forth in the Ground Fault Detection

Sensitivity Adjustment section of this manual.

Procedure I

If the green system normal LED is off, the amber system trouble LED is on, and the amber trouble indicator LED flashes a 1-blink pattern, a battery trouble has been detected. A battery trouble error may be caused by:

1. Disconnected memory retention battery.

2. Failed memory retention battery.

3. Failed battery charging or supervision circuitry on the Series DV-200.

If the error was due to one of the first two causes, the trouble will clear the first time the battery is checked after the cause is corrected. Note that the battery is checked by the circuitry once every five minutes.

When a battery trouble error is indicated, perform the following:

1. Check connection of memory retention battery.

2. Replace memory retention battery.

If after the above procedure is completed, the trouble condition persists, the trouble condition is caused by failed circuitry on the Series DV-200. There are no field correctable failed circuitry problems on the Series DV-200. Series DV-200's with failed circuitry shall be replaced immediately, following the Replacement Procedure, set forth previously in this section.

Procedure J

If the green system normal LED is off, the amber system trouble LED is on, and the amber trouble indicator LED flashes a 7-blink pattern, a telephone trouble has been detected. A telephone trouble error may be caused by:

1. Blown Fuse (F1).

2. Incorrect call progress tones on telephone line.

3. Insufficient off hook voltage on telephone line.

4. Disconnect telephone line.

5. Missing or improperly installed Telephone Interface Kit integrated circuits.

6. A telephone message has gone unacknowledged for three consecutive times to one telephone number.

7. Failed circuitry on the digital voice module.

When a telephone trouble error is indicated, perform the following:

1. Check fuse (F1) on digital voice module.

2. Verify that the telephone line is connected properly.

3. Verify that the two Telephone Interface Kit integrated circuits have been installed properly.

4. Verify that all activated telephone messages have been acknowledged and are no longer playing.

5. Verify that there is voltage across the telephone line when a telephone message is selected to play.

6. Verify that the telephone provides a standard dial tone when off hook and a standard ring when dialing.

If after the above procedure is completed, the trouble condition persists, reset the digital voice announcer. Activate one telephone message and verify that it executes correctly. If the telephone message fails to play correctly and there are no problems with the telephone line, the telephone trouble condition is caused by failed circuitry on the digital voice module. There are no field correctable failed circuitry problems on the digital voice module. Digital voice modules with failed circuitry shall be replaced immediately, following the Replacement Procedure, set forth previously in this section.

file.

DV-200 files are created either by storing audio directly into a selected file number or by storing the numbers of other files that contain audio into the selected file number. Every file is assigned an output channel and a priority level. Up to 999 files can be created in the DV-200 model. A file becomes a message file if it is selected to be played by a contact closure or by a command through the serial port. Some files are never intended to become message files; they merely contain words or phrases that can be strung together to create new files that will become message files. The new files will be assigned channel and priority designations that supersede previous channel and priority designations for the individual files in the new string.
