Preface

The Series DV-EM provides additional dry contact inputs for a Series DV-100 or a Series DV-200. The Series DV-EM does not sense an emergency
condition or hazardous fires, but is only a part of a system that does sense such conditions. When used as part of a protective signaling system, the
Series DV-EM 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.

PERSONNEL PROPERLY QUALIFIED IN THE APPLICATION AND USE OF LIFE SAFETY EQUIPMENT ("QUALIFIED PERSONNEL") MUST READ THIS
MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE PROPERLY PERFORMING ACTIONS TO SPECIFY, APPLY, INSTALL, MAINTAIN AND OPERATIONALLY TEST SERIES
DV-100 PRODUCTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.

THE SERIES DV-EM IS PART OF A SYSTEM CONTROLLED BY A SERIES DV-100 OR SERIES DV-200. PROPERLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL MUST
READ THE SERIES DV-100 OR SERIES DV-200 MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE PROPERLY PERFORMING ACTIONS TO SPECIFY, APPLY, INSTALL,
MAINTAIN, AND OPERATIONALLY TEST SERIES DV-EM PRODUCTS. INSTRUCTIONS, PROCEDURES, CAUTIONS, AND WARNINGS FOR THE SERIES
DV-100 OR SERIES DV-200, MUST BE FOLLOWED WHEN APPLICABLE TO THE SPECIFYING, APPLYING, INSTALLING, MAINTAINING, AND
OPERATIONALLY TESTING OF SERIES DV-EM PRODUCTS.

WARNING: IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, INSTALLATION AND TES TING INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT PERFORMED PROPERLY, THE SERIES

DV-EM MAY NOT OPERATE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

• DO NOT assume any installation, operation and testing details not shown in this manual.

• The Series DV-EM should only be operated with covers properly in place.

• KEEP this manual WITH THE SERIES DV-EM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE for the life of the system and make it available to all people who operate,

test, maintain, or service the Series DV-EM. We strongly recommend that such personnel read and understand the entire manual
The Series DV-EM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT POWER. The Series DV-EM is powered by the Series DV-100 or Series DV-200 to which it is

connected. If power is cut off for any reason, the Series DV-EM will not provide the additional dry contact inputs. Backup power supplies are
recommended for protective signaling systems.

WARNING: THE SERIES DV-EM PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS ARE SENSITIVE TO STATIC ELECTRICITY AND MAY BE DAMAGED BY

MISHANDLING OR STATIC DISCHARGE. TO PREVENT DAMAGE FROM STATIC ELECTRICITY, THE USER SHALL
PROPERLY ATTACH GROUNDED WRIST STRAPS BEFORE TOUCHING THE SERIES DV-EM PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS. SEE
"INSTALLATION" SECTION FOR DETAILS.

COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE LATEST APPLICABLE CODES, REGULATIONS, LAWS, STANDARDS, GUIDELINES:

For emergency, hazardous, security, life safety and fire protective signaling system applications, the Series DV-EM must be used within their
published specifications and only with a LISTED compatible control panel and LISTED compatible audio system in accordance with sound engineering
judgment and the instructions of the manufacturer and in accordance with local, state and federal codes, regulations and laws. The Series DV-EM
must be PROPERLY specified, applied, installed, operated, maintained and operationally tested in accordance with these instructions at the time of
installation and at least twice a year or more often as required by local, state and federal codes, regulations and laws. Installation, testing and
maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel for proper operation in accordance with all of the latest National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), Underwriters' Laboratories (UL), National Electrical Code (NEC), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), local, state, county,
province, district, federal and other applicable building and fire standards, guidelines, regulations, laws and codes including, but not limited to, all
appendices and amendments and the requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

WARNING: IF THE PROTECTIVE SIGNALING SYSTEM SOUNDS AND/OR FLASHES, IT IS A WARNING OF A POSSIBLY SERIOUS

SITUATION AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

The Series DV-EM is not a substitute for insurance. All users should have adequate levels of life and property insurance.

WARNING: WHEELOCK EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR THE CONTENT, CLARITY AND LANGUAGES OF, AND OUTPUT

CHANNEL AND PRIORITY LEVEL ASSIGNED TO, ANY AND ALL MESSAGES. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU HAVE MESSAGE
CONTENT AND LANGUAGE, SEQUENCE, OUTPUT CHANNEL AND PRIORITY ASSIGNMENTS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY
QUALIFIED LEGAL AND SAFETY ADVISORS, QUALIFIED REPRESENTATIVE(S) OF OWNER(S) AND USER(S), AND
AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION.

Rev. B August 2000

WARNING: FOR THE SERIES DV-EM TO PROPERLY OPERATE, IT MUST BE PROPERLY CONNECTED TO A SERIES DV-100 OR SERIES

DV-200, A LISTED COMPATIBLE AND PROPERLY OPERATING CONTROL PANEL AND AUDIO SYSTEM, OR TO A LISTED
COMPATIBLE AND PROPERLY OPERATING AUDIO SYSTEM, THAT CONTROLS ITS ACTIVATION AND PROVIDES PROPER
VOLTAGE AND CURRENT. THE OPERATION AND ELECTRICAL RATINGS OF SUCH CONTROL PANEL AND AUDIO SYSTEM,
OR SUCH AUDIO SYSTEM, MUST BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SERIES DV-EM, AND ALL EQUIPMENT MUST BE PROPERLY
INTERCONNECTED AND OPERATING. THE INSTALLER MUST CHECK COMPATIBILITY BEFORE INSTALLATION;
OTHERWISE, THE SERIES DV-EM AND/OR THE CONTROL PANEL AND/OR THE AUDIO SYSTEM MAY BE DAMAGED. THIS
COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS.

Each manufacturer's fire alarm control panel, audio system, and notification appliance operates differently and has different features. Before
specifying, installing, operating, testing, maintaining or servicing a system, carefully read the installation, operation and testing manual for each piece
of equipment and applicable codes.

Request that the local authority having jurisdiction inspect the proposed placement of the notification appliances and receive their approval.

WARNING: THE OUTPUT OF THE AUDIO SYSTEM MAY NOT BE HEARD IN ALL CASES . SOUND CAN BE BLOCKED OR REDUCED BY

WALLS, DOORS, CARPETING, WALL COVERING, FURNITURE, INSULATION, BED COVERINGS, AND OTHER OBSTACLES
THAT MAY TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY IMPEDE THE OUTPUT OF THE AUDIO SYSTEM. SOUND IS ALSO REDUCED
BY DISTANCE AND MASKED BY BACKGROUND NOISE. THE OUTPUT OF THE AUDIO SYSTEM MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO
ALERT ALL OCCUPANTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE ASLEEP, THOSE WHO ARE HEARING-IMPAIRED, THOSE WHO
ARE WEARING DEVICES THAT PLUG OR COVER THE EARS, AND THOSE WHO HAVE RECENTLY USED DRUGS OR
ALCOHOL. THE OUTPUT OF THE AUDIO SYSTEM MAY NOT BE HEARD BY AN ALERT PERSON IF THE OUTPUT DEVICE IS
PLACED IN AN AREA WHICH IS ISOLATED BY A CLOSED DOOR, OR IS LOCATED ON A DIFFERENT FLOOR FROM THE
PERSON IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR IS PLACED TOO FAR AWAY TO BE HEARD OVER AMBIENT NOISE SUCH AS, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, RUNNING WATER, TRAFFIC, AIR CONDITIONERS, MACHINERY OR MUSICAL APPLIANCES.

WARNING: AUDIBLE SIGNALS MAY MASK MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MONITORING ALARMS. AUDIBLE TONES AND/0R VOICE

MESSAGES ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN AREAS WHERE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MONITORING ALARMS ARE IN
USE. SUCH MEDICAL ALARMS MAY NOT BE HEARD DURING PERIODS WHEN AUDIBLE NOTIFICATION APPLIANCES HAVE
BEEN ACTIVATED. WHERE MEDICAL ALARMS ARE IN USE, THE INSTALLATION OF VISUAL NOTIFICATION APPLIANCES
IN HIGHLY VISIBLE LOCATIONS IS RECOMMENDED.

WARNING: IF AUDIBLE TONES AND/0R VOICE MESSAGES CANNOT BE READILY HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD CLEARLY WITHIN THE

PROTECTED AREAS AS INTENDED, IT IS NECESSARY TO INCREASE THE NUMBER AND/OR SOUND OUTPUT INTENSITY OF
SPEAKERS WITHIN THOSE AREAS SO THAT THEY ARE HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD CLEARLY WHEN ACTIVATED.

NOTIFICATION EQUIPMENT CANNOT LAST FOREVER. EVEN THOUGH NOTIFICATION EQUIPMENT SUCH AS THE SERIES DV-EM PRODUCTS ARE
MADE TO LAST UP TO TEN YEARS, THE EXPECTED LIFE OF THE PROTECTIVE SIGNALING SYSTEM, ANY OF THESE PARTS OR COMPONENTS
THEREOF COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME AND MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE TEN YEARS.

SYSTEM TESTING, INCLUDING ALL NOTIFICATION EQUIPMENT, MUST BE CONDUCTED FREQUENTLY, AT LEAST TWICE EACH YEAR, OR MORE
OFTEN AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL CODES, REGULATIONS AND LAWS, BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TO ENSURE PROPER
OPERATION OF ALL EQUIPMENT. If the notification equipment is not working properly, immediately contact the installer and have all/any problems
corrected immediately. Malfunctioning units should be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair malfunctioning units. Malfunctioning units should
be returned for factory repair or replacement. In the event you cannot contact the installer, contact the manufacturer.
