This chapter describes the operating characteristics of the remote SAFEPATH panel. Included is information about the following
features:
•
Operator's Console
•
Input and Output Options
•
Supervision
•
Operators Instructions
•
Back-up Battery Requirements
Operator's Console
An operator's console, which allows for manual override of the automatic message playing, is provided. The operator's console
includes a microphone, an "ACKNOWLEDGE" push-button, a "MANUAL/AUTOMATIC " switch, “ALL-CALL” switch, four “ZONE
DISARRANGEMENT” switches, and "NORMAL" and "TROUBLE" indicators. The operator's console is accessed by opening the
enclosure door. See Figure 2.
Input and Output Options
One line level input is provided for connecting to the central SAFEPATH panel.
Up to four audio outputs are available. Each output may be either a 15 Ohm line level output or a 25V, 70.7V or 100V amplifier
output. The 15 Ohm line level output can drive up to twenty 600 Ohm line level input appliances. The 25V, 70.7V or 100V amplifier
can drive up to 10, 40 or 80 Watts of speaker notification appliances.
Up to four visual appliance outputs are available. These outputs are rated for 24VDC and can each supply up to 2 amps of current.
Total current for all four outputs may not exceed 6 amps.
Up to four amplified speaker notification appliance power outputs are available. Each output is rated for 24VDC and can supply up
to 2 amps of current. Total current for all four outputs may not exceed 8 amps.
Supervision
A trouble condition indicates that the supervision functions have detected a malfunction in this panel. When a trouble condition is
detected, the panel may not be capable of playing emergency announcements.
If a trouble condition is detected by any of the supervision functions, the Form C status relay (normally energized) will change state,
the green system normal LED will turn off, and the amber trouble LED will turn on. The status relay contact closure must be properly
connected to and used by the control panel to indicate a system trouble. At the same time, an amber trouble location LED will
identify the location of the trouble condition. If a trouble condition is indicated, follow the procedures in the "Troubleshooting and
Servicing" section.
WARNING:
DO NOT LEAVE THIS SAFEPATH PANEL IN A TROUBLE CONDITION AS, IT MAY NOT PLAY WARNING
MESSAGES WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU
AND/OR OTHERS. IF SAFEPATH INDICATES A TROUBLE CONDITION: (1) PROVIDE UL REQUIRED
ALTERNATIVE SIGNALING AND (2) HAVE QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONS IMMEDIATELY REPLACE UNIT(S)
THAT HAVE MALFUNCTIONED.
WARNING:
MESSAGES MADE BEFORE AND DURING A TROUBLE CONDITION MAY NOT BE HEARD, WHICH COULD
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS. IF MESSAGES
MADE BEFORE AND DURING A TROUBLE CONDITION ARE STILL NECESSARY, THEY SHOULD BE REPEATED
WHEN THIS SAFEPATH PANEL IS RETURNED TO NORMAL.
Input Voltage Supervision
Input voltage is supervised, and if the input voltage drops below the operating minimum voltage, this panel will transfer to battery
back-up power and indicate a trouble condition.
