Description, Specifications, Installation, Operation, and Service Manual
Opening the Housing
Tools required:
Phillips head screwdriver
To open the housing, loosen the two cover screws while supporting the cover so it does
not fall. (The cover screws are retained in the housing.) Carefully remove the visual
indicator cable to allow the cover to be removed.
Wiring to the Control Board
To wire the Control Board:
1. If networking the Informer15 to Commander, use the LAN interface to provide both
IP communication and PoE from the switch.
The Informer15 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 and provides PoE to the Informer15 Speaker.
2. JP13 is used to provide tone/messages into the IP15 via microSD memory card.
3. If local activations are required, use JP2.
The Alarm Initiation Inputs are activated by shorting the input to the ISO-GND next
to it, usually through an normally open switch or normally open dry relay contact.
NOTE
: Momentary mode: contact closure sounds alarm for typical programmed
duration. Continuous mode: sounds alarm for duration of closure. The system can
also be configured to allow activation from normally closed contacts.

4. The visual indicator is wired to JP3 for activation and powering.
5. If controlling an external device, use JP6 to control an external relay to control the
device.
The Informer15 Speaker has one independently programmable open collector output
that can be used to control an external relay. The open collector/relay output timing is
configured and programmed into the Informer15 Speaker from the Commander user
interface.
