FMIC Overview
The FMIC comprises a wall-mounted red steel case with a glazed door that contains a close-talking
noise-cancelling fist microphone plus ancillary electronics.
It is designed to be used with SigNET’s Integrity voice alarm system and is fully monitored for faults. The
internal electronics comprise two parts, a 1ZPR pre-amplifier and monitoring unit and an FMX fault
monitoring expansion and message control unit.
Up to four FMICs may be connected in a daisy-chain format to one voice alarm input.
When used with the Integrity VA system, it is connected to a one 1LS card and, in most applications, is
required to operate as an all-call microphone, even in case of microprocessor failure. In this case, the
1LS card must be installed in slot 1 of the Integrity mainframe.
The microphone is designed for use in noisy environments and incorporates a lip-guide to help the user
position the microphone close, but not too close, to his mouth.
The FMIC is normally connected to the mainframe via two four-core 1.5mm
2
`fire-rated cables although in
non-life-safety applications, Cat 5 cable may be used.
The front door is normally secured by a cam lock and key, but a ‘T-bar’ handle may be specified if
required.
