Status Monitoring
The UVRI-B uses a variety of sensors to communicate its status back to the Federal
Signal Commander System. This alerts personnel of potential issues at the UVRI-B unit.
The UVRI-B monitors power, battery, door opening, amplifier status and other important
system components. The UVRI-B includes an external fault indicator when any of the
following occur: battery voltage, charger fault, AC power, intrusion, amplifier/line faults,
audio A and B.
Quiet Test
The Federal Signal Commander System can manually or automatically activate Quiet Test
for verification of system operation. Quiet Test uses a 20 kHz tone to test tone generators
and optional amplifiers. To configure the quiet test, see the Federal Signal Commander
Manual. To access the results of the Quiet Test, use the Federal Signal Commander
System.
AC/DC Power System
The UVRI-B includes a 13.5 Vdc power supply. The DC voltage is used to power external
radio equipment or broadband modems. The DC voltage also chargers a battery for
operation during power loss. The battery is also used to power the optional amplifier.
Restoring Configuration to Factory Defaults
If the configuration details are lost or changed incorrectly and it becomes necessary to
restore the Informer to factory default settings, perform the following procedure.
To restore configuration to factory defaults for the UVRI-B:
1. Remove power (AC and battery) from the UVRI-B.
2. Press and hold down the S8 (RESET) button along with S6 the button. (See Figure 10.)
3. Apply power and continue to hold down the S8 and S6 buttons for at least 5 seconds
before releasing.
4. The UVRI-B will reinitialize, which may take several minutes.
You need to re-enter all local configuration settings before placing the UVRI-B into
service.
Applications
Two-Way Radio Controlled System
You can use the UVRI-B as a two-way radio controlled extension of a Federal Signal
outdoor warning system. The ability to replicate the pre-recorded messages/tones and
live PA allows indoor recipients to receive the same alerts indoors as well as outdoors.
Use the UVRI-B to replace Radio Informers with two-way supervised and monitored
capabilities. The UVRI-B can also be equipped with a 100-watt amplifier to drive local
speakers for wide-area notification. Applications include waste water treatment facilities,
campus, military, fire house, and commercial applications.
