The SP4 –LOC Remote Microphone and Local Operator Console is designed to be used
with the Facility Communications System using the SafePath4 SP40/2 and the SP40S
panels. It contains the SafePath4 SPRM Remote Microphone Module and eight black
Push On /Push Off buttons which provide a contact closure to activate the SP40/2 or the
SP40S digital messages in the Push On position. These buttons change color from black
in the OFF position to green in the ON position. A message name plate holder is located
above the pushbuttons. An optional red mushroom type, cutoff pushbutton is available for
HVAC emergency shutoff.

The Remote Microphone (SPRM) incorporates a Push-To-Talk (PTT) microphone and
system status LED indicators. The SPRM provides a microphone override for any tone
generation, digital voice module prerecorded message, background music, or telephone
paging. It is equipped with a keyed lock that, when activated allows the use of the
module. The key can not be removable in the ON position. The SPRM is fully supervised
from the SP40/2 or SP40S panel and contains front panel LED’s for remote indications of
System Normal, System Trouble and Alarm conditions. Voice frequency response shall
be 275 Hz - -6.5 kHz +/- 2.4 dB. Power requirements shall be 24VDC and will be
supplied by the SP40/2 or SP40S. Input current for standby mode shall be 26mA and
38mA in the alarm mode. Shielded 6-wire cable shall be used. Approvals for the system
shall include; UL Standard 864, UL Standard 1711, FCC Part 15, and CSFM. The panel
shall be OSHA 1910.165 and ADA compliant

The SP4-LOC is available in two models. The flush mount model has a 1/2 inch skirt
around the door section, while the surface mount model door section is flush with the
back box. Both models use the same white 4 inch deep backbox with three 1/2 inch/ 3/4
inch double knockouts, one each in the back center, and top and bottom of the backbox.

The flush mount door section has exterior dimensions of 15-1/2 inches wide and 16-1/4
inches high. The surface mount model has dimensions of 14-1/2 inches wide, 15-1/2
inches high and 4 inches deep. Both models have a pull slam latch to open the continuous
hinged door. Both models are available in white.

The SP4-LOC can be installed up to 2,000 feet from the SP40/2 or SP40S panel using 14­18 AWG wiring. Shielded wire is only required for the 1Vrms output from the SPRM.
