Installation
UltraVoice Indoor Controller (UVIC)
2. Open the fastener kit provided in the UVIC cabinet containing the plastic battery
terminal knobs and spacer nuts. Replace the battery terminal bolts provided with the
battery with the terminal knobs and nuts provided in the fastener kit. The kit also
contains rubber bumpers that are placed under the battery holding brackets to better
secure shorter batteries.
3. Connect the wires to the batteries connecting the short black 8 AWG wire between
batteries 1 and 2 last. Use an anti-oxidant compound to protect the terminals.
4. Verify the battery connections are tightened securely to make proper electrical
connections.
Installing the Antenna
Determine type of antenna to be installed:
• Cabinet Mounted Magnetic Base
• Remote Mounted Magnetic Base
• Yagi external antenna type
• Omni external antenna type
For installation instructions on the Yagi and Omni Antennas go to the Federal Signal’s
website.
Installing the Cabinet Mounted Magnetic Base Antenna
If the UVIC is being installed in a very good RF coverage area, you may use a cabinet
Mounted Magnetic Base antenna.
1. Connect the antenna cable to the antenna connector on the top of the UVIC cabinet.
2. Mount the magnetic antenna base on the top of the UVIC cabinet.
Installing the Remote Mounted Magnetic Base Antenna
The Remote Magnetic Base antenna allows for additional antenna height to improve
reception.
1. Locate a suitable location for the antenna that is away from any electrical devices,
high voltage and computer wiring. Locate as high as possible to enable the antenna
mast to be at least 2 feet away from any grounded metal objects.
2. Mount the antenna to a flat, secure metal structure with at least 225 square inches
(1.5 square foot area) that the Magnetic Mount will securely stick to.
Speaker Connections
The speaker connections are located on the bottom right hand side of the motherboard.
There are two 12 position removable connectors for each of the amplifiers enabling up to
12 pairs of wires to be connected to each amplifier.
The connectors for Amplifier 1 are located under the card cage. The connectors for
Amplifier 2 are located under the cover plate immediately to the right of the amplifiers.
