1. DESCRIPTION
The LOC-1000 is a local operator console which is utilized to locally control the system, generate live voice and ECS.
The LOC-1000 communicates in conjunction with the IPA-4000V using a RS-485 connection via P-Link. It also provides
common indication of Alarms, Supervisory, Trouble and other system status and control functions. A maximum of thirty-
one (31) LOC-1000 can be employed.
The LOC-1000 is equipped with three (3) modules ; LOC-RA6500R, SB-8 and VM-1000.
The LOC-RA6500R is a remote annunciator that provides common indication for Alarms, Supervisory, Trouble and
other system status and control functions. The board connects in conjunction with the IPA-4000V using a 4-wire RS-485
connection via P-Link. Alternatively, the LOC-RA6500R can communicate and receive power from a PSN-1000. The LOC-
1000 is equipped with a bracket to securely mount an optional PSN-1000 power supply.
The SB-8 is the user interface for ECS control and events. It provides 8 programmable buttons, an All Call button and an
ECS Reset and Control button. The SB-8 also includes LED indicators for Ready to Page, Trouble, Control Requested,
Remotely Controlled and Locally Controlled. Each of the 8 programmable buttons have two corresponding LEDs to
indicate activity and trouble conditions.
The VM-1000 is the voice module that generates live voice and ECS to remote amplifiers. The VM-1000 connects to the
LOC-RA6500R using a 4-wire RS-485 connection via P-Link.
