SECTION I
1.1 General Description
The UltraVoice Indoor Controller (UVIC) is designed to fulfill the need for an indoor
electronic controller that is smaller and less expensive than the full size UltraVoice
outdoor warning siren controller. It shares the same control board and amplifiers as the
standard UltraVoice but is limited to 800 total Watts of amplifier power, and uses a
single, wall-mountable NEMA1 / UL Type 1 rated enclosure that has a built-in lock.
The use of smaller, sealed VRLA AGM type batteries minimizes battery out-gassing and
makes the controller better suited for indoor operation.
Model UVARM: The UVIC supports an optional Audio and Relay Output Module (model
UVARM) that provides three audio outputs and four relay outputs to enable the UVIC to
be connected to existing PA systems or other auxiliary devices.
Model UVLOC: An optional Local Operation Console (model UVLOC) enables users to
control the UVIC from an easy to use pushbutton control panel. The panel is connected
to the UVIC with a standard CAT5 network cable and may be located up to ½ mile away
from the UVIC controller. The UVLOC is remotely powered from the UVIC and requires
no local power source of it’s own. The panel measures only 10” x 4.75” x 3” (L x W x D)
and is easily wall mounted. The UVLOC provides control for 7 digital recordings: Live
P.A., P.A. Recording from an integrated microphone, Recorded P.A. Playback, and two
Auxiliary user programmable functions.
Model UVIC25ST: An optional 25 volt step-down transformer may be required to
convert 70 volts to 25 volts, depending on location and installation.
Model UVIC25SD: An optional 25 volt step-down transformer may be required to
convert 70 volts to 25 volts, depending on location and installation. The UVIC25SD
includes two step-down transformers in a NEMA 4X fiberglass enclosure.
Model UVIC: The amplifiers and optional equipment are all modularly constructed to
ease removal without disconnecting a large number of wires. In most instances, field
service is limited to replacement of a slide out module, which can be performed by non-
technical personal with only a screwdriver.
Activation codes, command sequences, and operating parameters are uploaded from
an IBM compatible computer through the RS232 port located on the front panel or over
the radio channel with the Federal Commander Digital System. All user information is
stored in non-volatile FLASH memory, immune to power and battery failure.
Refer to Figures 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 for reference.
