For a 225XST/225XL Strobe, the following is recommended (customer supplied): 1/2-inch
NPT Pipe Nipple (3 inches overall length).
Ethernet Port
The Informer100 Speaker has an 8-pin Ethernet port for connecting to the network.
Ethernet wire runs must be less than 328 feet from the nearest network switch. Do not
install in a conduit carrying high voltage. The wired Ethernet port auto-negotiates a
10/100, full or half-duplex connection.
Relay Outputs
The Informer100 Speaker has two independently programmable relay outputs.
Programming for relay output 1 operates the mechanical relay. Programming for relay
output 2 operates both the DC solid-state relay and the AC solid-state relay. Configure the
relay outputs by either using the Informer100 web pages or with the Commander software
application.
The relay outputs are capable of controlling external devices. The outputs are located at
pins 1 and 2, pins 3 and 4, and pins 5 and 6 of the removable output connector JP4 on
the controller board. The outputs can be wired in series with the power wired into the unit
by using the power connections available on JP6 and JP7, providing switched AC or DC
power to activate other devices.
Do not exceed the voltage and current ratings listed in the specifications section of this
manual. When using this feature, the relay outputs turn on until one of the following
occurs:
• Until the programmed default timeout occurs
• Until the CANCEL or RESET command is received
You can individually configure the relay outputs to open, close, and cycle based on a pre-
programmed sequence. Relays can also be configured to turn on when PA VOIP is active.
Perform the Informer100 configuration before installing.
Configuring the Speaker
Perform Informer100 Speaker configuration before installing. See the Informer-IP Series C
Setup, Program, and User Manual (part number 25500395) to learn how to set up,
configure, program, and use Informer-IP devices.
