Overview
SP40S Multi-Function Communications System 23
Table 2 SP40S User Interface Pushbuttons/Indicators
Pushbutton or Indicator Description/Function
Message 1 - 8 (there are 8 messages, 1 through 8) Button manually actives Messages 1- 8. Illuminated
steady means contact closure is on a DV input.
Illuminated blinking means DV is activated via button
push.
POWER ON indicator If illuminated, indicates SP40S is powered by primary or
secondary power.
SYSTEM TROUBLE indicator If illuminated, indicates the SP40S has a trouble.
AC TROUBLE indicator If illuminated, indicates primary power is low or has
failed and SP40S is running on secondary power.
ALARM ACTIVE indicator Indicates PTT MIC (push to talk microphone), AUX
(auxiliary), or DV (digital voice) has been initiated.
STROBE ACTIVE indicator Indicates the strobe circuit has been initiated.
TROUBLE SILENCE button Temporarily silences the audible trouble indicator.
RECORD button and indicator For message recording process, see section 6.3.
3.5.1 Basic Operation of User Interface
When a Message button is pressed, the user interface microcontroller processes the signal
and outputs it to the Digital Voice microcontroller which plays the corresponding message.
The user interface illuminates the corresponding message LED when a button is pressed or a
message activation contact closure is received. The LED blinks if the activation was a button
press and the LED remains ON constantly when a contact closure is present. If a button is
pressed, the message LED remains blinking and the message remains active until the button
is pressed again.
3.5.2 Overview
This section describes the behavior differences of digital voice messages between SP40S
firmware and SP40S-D firmware. The SP40S-D firmware changes are limited to the user
interface section of the SP40S panel (refer to Figure 1). All other behaviors of the SP40S,
such as strobe activation, message prioritization, and AUX input functionality have not
changed.
3.5.2.1 Operation of Digital Voice Messages with SP40S firmware
Digital voice (DV) messages on the SP40S are activated locally via the front panel interface
pushbuttons (PB) or remotely using contact closures (CC) with the SP40S firmware. An
activated DV message will remain active indefinitely until you clear the source of activation.
Activation of a particular DV message appears locally at the front panel interface by LEDs
