Operating Instructions
Receiving a Test Message
If the Informer was programmed with a Test function, the yellow Test LED lights
steady when a Test message is received. This light remains on until you press the
RESET/TEST button. The Alert LED does not light for any function that is
programmed to light the Test LED.
Tone-Alert Radio Failure
In the event of unit failure, the yellow Test LED light flashes once per second and the
Informer beeps every 30 seconds. Investigate this failure with the local emergency
management control station authorities or the local service center.
Dual Relay and 600 ohm Audio Output
Relay Outputs
The Informer comes with a pair of relay outputs capable of controlling external
devices. The outputs are located at pins 3 - 8 of the removable output connector.
Refer to the “Input/Output Definitions” section for parts locations.
Do not exceed the voltage and current ratings listed in the specifications section of
this manual. When using this option, the relay outputs turn on when the following
occurs:
Until the programmed default timeout occurs
RESET/TEST button is pressed
CANCEL or RESET command is received
You can individually configure the relay outputs to open, close, and cycle based on a
pre-programmed sequence. Refer to the
Commander Software Reference Manual
for
additional information.
NOTE
: The relay outputs close for 5-10 ms. during initial power-up.
Relay two has been pre-wired to allow 12 VDC to power an optional LP1 strobe.
Power is supplied from the internal power supply to COM2. The strobe is connected
to NO2 and to ground. Federal Signal provides cables to wire the LP1 strobe.
600 Ohm Audio Output
The 600-ohm audio output is useful for tying the Informer into existing PA systems
or other externally amplified speaker systems. An adjustable balanced audio output is
available at pins 1 and 2 of the output connector. The output level is adjustable
through a potentiometer located near the input/output connector on the inside of the
unit. Refer to the “Input/Output Definitions” section for parts locations.
