INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FOUR ZONE SPLITTER

(FOR MULTI CIRCUIT SAFEPATH PANELS)

Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.

MODEL NUMBER: SPL Four Zone Splitter

GENERAL:

The Four Zone Splitter is designed to be used with Wheelock’s multi circuit SAFEPATH panels and it provides a means for expanding a supervised audio output zone from one to four sub zones. The Four Zone Splitters are UL Listed under Standard 864, Control Units for Fire Protective Signaling Systems. They are listed for indoor use only. Only 1 Four Zone Splitter can be connected to each SAFEPATH channel. They are to be mounted inside the SAFEPATH panel enclosure onto the power supply printed circuit board (PCB) cover. The splitter works with all of the Wheelock amplifier modules. If the splitter is used with a power amplifier, the maximum power per sub zone cannot exceed what is listed in Table 1.

NOTE: All CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are identified by the symbol

. All warnings are printed in bold capital letters.

SPECIFICATIONS: (Per UL 864)

Power Input Voltage: 24VDC Audio Input/Output Voltage: 25.0VRMS, 70.7VRMS, 100.0VRMS, or 0.5VRMS Input Current: 40mA Standby with no zones selected 190mA with all zones selected Audio Power In: 100.0 Watts Maximum Audio Power Out: 100.0 Watts Maximum (See Table 1 for maximum watts per zone)

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Four Circuit SAFEPATH

1. Attach the 4 PCB standoffs to the 4 mounting holes in the SAFEPATH Power Supply PCB cover (see Figure 1) by pushing standoff into the hole until it locks into place as shown in Figure 2.

2. Attach the Four Zone Splitter PCB on to the PCB standoffs so that the standoffs mate with the mounting holes on the PCB as shown in Figure 2. Push the PCB until the board locks into the 4 standoffs

3. Remove the old hole cover on the SAFEPATH Panel’s Dead Front Panel that corresponds to the location of the new splitter module by removing the 4 hole plugs on the cover. Save the 4 plugs to attach the new cover. (See Figure 3)

4. Attach the Four Zone Splitter cover to the Dead Front Panel using the 4 hole plugs.

BEFORE REMOVING THIS PANEL:

CAUTION

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR REPLACE MODULAR PC BOARDS INSIDE WITHOUT DISCONNECTING ALL POWER SOURCES TO THIS UNIT FIRST. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PC BOARDS.

DISCONNECTING

- FIRST DISCONNECT BATTERY POWER AT THE BATTERY TERMINALS, THEN DISCONNECT AC POWER AT THE POWER SOURCE.

RECONNECTING

- FIRST RECONNECT AC POWER AT THE POWER SOURCE, THEN RECONNECT BATTERY POWER AT THE BATTERY TERMINALS.

When the GREEN "NORMAL" LED is ON, the system

is functioning properly.

When the YELLOW "TROUBLE" LED is ON there is a

FAULT in the system which MUST BE CORRECTED.

WARNING

IF THE YELLOW "TROUBLE" LIGHT IS ON, THIS UNIT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT CAPABILITIES AND COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS. IN THE EVENT THE "TROUBLE" LIGHT IS ON, YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE IMMEDIATELY.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

To Acknowledge a Trouble Condition:

1. Momentarily depress the TROUBLE ACKNOWLEDGE button.

This will only silence the internal sounder and any external

trouble signaling devices. The system will remain in the

trouble condition with the yellow "TROUBLE" LED on and

the system trouble contact will remain in the trouble

position until all trouble conditions have been corrected.

MANUAL OPERATION

To Sound Evacuation Tone:

1. Slide the AUTOMATIC/MANUAL switch DOWN to the

MANUAL position.

MICROPHONE OPERATION

1. Hold the microphone within 2 inches of mouth and

press the push-to-talk switch on microphone.

2. Deliver message. Activation of the microphone will

deliver the message to all circuits.

ZONE DISARRANGEMENT

1. Slide the zone disarrangement switch down to the

DISARRANGEMENT position.

2. To override zone disarrangement, slide the

ZONE SELECT/ALL-CALL switch to ALL-CALL

WARNING

ANY ZONE DISARRANGEMENT WILL SILENCE IT'S RESPECTIVE Z ONE.

IT WILL ALSO PUT THE UNIT INTO A TROUBLE CONDITION.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

When making a live emergency announcement from the SAFEPATH panel, use the Four Zone Splitter’s four zone ON/OFF switches to select the zones to which the audio will be broadcast or use the panel’s ALL CALL switch to select all of the zones. To select a zone, slide the zone ON/OFF switch up to the on position (Figure 6). The ZONE SELECT LED associated with the zone switch will be lit if the zone is selected. The ZONE ALARM LED’s indicate to which zones audio is currently being broadcast. The splitter will allow zone selection of live announcements only. Automatic or manual alarm operation will be through all zones.

The splitter detects audio wiring faults (opens and shorts) in the non-alarm mode only. During alarm paging the splitter allows the selection of any or all zone outputs. The ALL CALL switch overrides all zone selections. To initiate ALL CALL, slide the ALL CALL switch up to the on position. If there is a trouble in the output wiring or a trouble in the four zone splitter circuit, the trouble condition will be reported to the respective amplifier card as a speaker wiring trouble and the SPK LED will be lit.

TROUBLE SHOOTING PROCEDURES:

1. Be sure the unit is in the standby (non-alarm) mode.

2. Verify all wiring is correct.

3. To verify the system trouble is caused by the splitter or output audio wiring: Measure the DC voltage at audio ±. If it is -12VDC ±1V, the trouble is caused by something else in the system. (See

appropriate SAFEPATH instruction manual for additional troubleshooting procedures.) If it is -4VDC ±1V, the trouble is caused by the audio output wiring from the splitter.

4. Measure the DC voltage at the zone outputs ± of the four zones of the splitter. If it is -12VDC ±1V, the zone does not have a wiring fault. If it is -24VDC ±1V, the trouble is an open in the audio wiring or a missing end-of-line resistor. If it is 0VDC, the trouble is a short in the audio wiring.
