Instruction manual

Perform the following tests:
Strobe Circuit Test (SPB-80/4 Only)
1. Switch SW4 to the CC position (depressed to the left). Short the STB IN terminals. Strobe
Output Circuit should flash. Red LEDs D61 STB1 OUT and D62 STB2 OUT shall be lighted.
Remove short.
Audio Output Test
1. Play a digital message or use the built in microphone on the SP40/2 voice evacuation panel
and test the audio output circuit(s).
WARNING: ALL PROTECTIVE SIGNALING SYSTEMS REQUIRE PERIODIC TESTING.
ALL PROTECTIVE SIGNALING SYSTEM EQUIPMENT SHALL BE TESTED BY QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR FOR PROPER OPERATION, OR MORE OFTEN IF
REQUIRED BY CODES, REGULATIONS AND LAWS. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN AND TEST
PROTECTIVE SIGNALING SYSTEM EQUIPMENT CAN RESULT IN NOT DETECTING
EQUIPMENT FAILURE THAT CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND/OR OTHERS DURING AN EMERGENCY
SITUATION.
Section 3-7 – Ground Fault Detection
Ground fault detection sensitivity is 600K Ohms for Class B, Style Y connections. If ground fault
detection is not desired, remove jumper W6. See Figure 3-19A (SPB-160) and Figure 3-19B
(SPB-80/4) on page 36 for location.
NOTE: The Ground Fault LED D34 may flicker while STB-IN is operated in Wheelock Pass-
Through Mode (W5 removed). This DOES NOT indicate the presence of an actual Ground Fault
Trouble.
Section 3-8 – Battery Care and Backup Battery Calculations
Care of Sealed Lead Acid Batteries
Sealed lead acid batteries are designed to operate in standby service for approximately five
years. This is based upon a normal service condition where there is an ambient temperature of
20 degrees C (68 degrees F) and batteries are completely discharged once every three months.
LENGTH OF SERVICE LIFE WILL BE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THE NUMBER OF
DISCHARGE CYCLES, DEPTH OF DISCHARGE, AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE.
Use Guidelines:
Avoid installation and/or operation in close proximity to heat sources. While the operating
temperature range is 0 to 49 degrees C (32-120 degrees F), battery life will be maximized at an
ambient temperature of 20 degrees C (68 degrees F).
Batteries may generate ignitable gases. Because of this, batteries shall be installed in a well-
ventilated location, away from spark producing equipment.
Batteries shall not be installed in an atmosphere where organic solvents or adhesives may be
present. The batteries shall not be cleaned with oils, thinners, or similar substances. The case
and cover of the batteries are ABS plastic resin, which may suffer damage from these chemicals.
Batteries shall not be installed in a heavy vibration or shock location.
Insulated gloves shall always be worn when handling batteries.
WARNING: BATTERIES SHALL NOT BE CRUSHED, INCINERATED, OR DISMANTLED.
THE ELECTROLYTE CONTAINS SULFURIC ACID, WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE
TO EYES AND SKIN. IF CONTACT DOES OCCUR, FLUSH WITH WATER AND SEEK
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
