SP40S Multi-Function Facility Communication System Manual, Revision L

This TESAN (Technical Engineering Support Application Notice) is available from the Cooper

Notification website (www.coopernotification.com) and is found under the Technical Support

tab.

NOTE: This SP40S Multi-Function Facility Communication System will not work without power.

The SP40S Multi-Function Facility Communication System is powered by 120 or 240 VAC,

depending on model. 24VDC re-chargeable batteries provide backup power, should be purchased

separately. If both sources of power are cut off for any reason, the SP40S Multi-Function

Facility Communication System will not operate.

1. DO NOT assume any installation, operation, and testing details not shown in this

manual.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the SP40S Multi-Function Facility Communication

System without the dead front panel being properly in place.

2.2.1 Expected Equipment Lifecycle

Notification equipment cannot last forever. Even though the SP40S Multi-Function Facility

Communication System is expected to last up to ten years, any of its parts or components could

fail before then.

2.2.2 Periodic Testing

1. Cooper Notification recommends testing of the entire protective signaling system,

including the SP40S Multi-Function Facility Communication System, all notification

equipment, as well as all messages and their output channel, and priority assignment, at

least twice each year, or more often as required by local, state and federal codes,

regulations and laws, by qualified personnel.

2. If the notification equipment is not working properly, immediately contact the

installer and have all/any problems corrected immediately.

3. Replace any malfunctioning components immediately; do not attempt to repair

malfunctioning components. Return malfunctioning components for factory repair or

replacement. In the event you cannot contact the installer, contact the manufacturer.

WARNING: For proper operation in life safety applications,

perform the following: (a) Connect the SP40S Multi-Function Facility

Communication System to a listed compatible and properly operating

control panel, which controls its activation. (b) Ensure that all

equipment is properly interconnected and operating. (c) Make sure

the installer checks the compatibility of all equipment prior to

installation; otherwise, the SP40S Multi-Function Facility

Communication System and/or the control panel may be damaged

and/or fail to operate in an emergency situation.

WARNING: Certain hardware functions on the SP40S Multi-

Function Facility Communication System are not supervised. If any

such hardware functions fail, the SP40S Multi-Function Facility

Communication System may not provide the intended warning and/or

not indicate a trouble condition.
