SPMNS

Notification

Description

Cooper Notification’s SPMNS is an In-Building MNS for fire alarm, emergency communications and voice evacuation with 24 VDC battery back up. It provides personnel and building occupants with clear, concise and intelligible voice messages that communicate how people should respond to a variety of emergency situations.

The SPMNS, which meets UL 2572 requirements for MNS, interfaces with a building fire alarm system (FAS) to provide a complete In-Building

MNS. An integral part of the fire system, the SPMNS controls all audio and visual notification appliances for both fire and MNS and reports trouble and supervisory signal through the FAS. Supervised voice speakers controlled by the SPMNS can be used for both fire and emergency communication applications.

The SPMNS single channel system is capable of delivering 40 watts of supervised high fidelity audio power and 2 amps of supervised 24 VDC synchronized strobe power. It comes standard with an on-board digital voice messaging system with 8 standard messages, a hand-held microphone for fire messages, power supply/battery charger and numerous additional features. A dedicated MNS microphone (SPMNS-MIC) will be utilized for live voice messages for emergency communications. The SAFEPATH system is expandable to 5280 watts utilizing the SPB-80/4 (80 watts and 4 amps of strobe power), the SPB-160 (160 watts) or SPB-320 (320 watts) supervised audio power boosters. All models available in 115 VAC or 220 VAC.

Applications for the SPMNS

• Multi-use applications—The system can function as an evacuation system, an emergency messaging system, and an employee notification system

• Fire code applications—The system is listed under UL 2572 for MNS, UL

Standard 864, 9th edition delivering supervised audio and voice messaging with strobes and notification appliance circuits (NAC) for visual alerting

• Economic OSHA applications—The system is OSHA 1910.165 compliant; this means that it does not require reliability inspections every two months, or the required spare parts inventory

• Wide ranging applications—from small to large facilities

System Activation

• Contact closure message activation

Voice Message Priority

The SPMNS will override the FAS with live voice from a separate MNS microphone or manual activation of a high-priority emergency message. After the

SPMNS relinquishes control, the following occurs:

1. Without an active fire alarm signal, the fire alarm system shall automatically restore to normal operation

2. With an active fire alarm signal, the fire alarm shall operate based on the

Emergency Response Plan (ERP)

The fire alarm signal deactivation function occurs only when both the FAS is in alarm condition and an MNS voice message is initiated by the SPMNS. When the fire alarm notification is overridden by the SPMNS priority emergency message, all other features of the FAS remain unaffected.

Priority messaging is as follows:

- Live voice messages from the MNS microphone

- Pre-recorded prioritized mass notification messages

- Live voice messages from the fire microphone

- Pre-recorded fire messages

Description

Cooper Notification’s POWERPATH Power Supplies PS-6 and PS-8 are 24VDC, filtered and regulated, supervised remote power supplies/battery chargers. Used for supervision and expanded power driving capability of Fire Alarm and Mass

Notification Appliance Circuits, PS-6 provides 6 amps of power distributed across

4 outputs, while the PS-8 provides 8 Amps across 4 outputs. In addition, the

PS-8 provides additional room in the chassis for accessories like an Addressable

Control Module, with mounting studs.

The Power Supplies may be connected to any 12V or 24V (FWR or DC) Fire

Alarm Control Panel (FACP) by using a Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) or a “Dry Contact”. Primary applications include NAC expansion (supports ADA requirements) and auxiliary power to support system accessories. This unit provides filtered and regulated 24VDC, up to four (4) Class “B”, two (2) Class

“A”, or two (2) Class “B” and one (1) Class “A” Notification Appliance Circuits.

With the optional plug-in PS-EXP module the unit supports (8) Class “B” or (4)

Class “A” Notification Appliance Circuits. Additionally, an auxiliary power output of 2.5 Amps (disconnected upon AC power loss or an alarm condition) or up to

0.240 A of constant power on the PS-8 .

The Wheelock Power Supply can accommodate 7 or 12 AH batteries inside its lockable chassis. Using an external battery cabinet, it can charge up to 33 AH batteries (pending UL testing). Two FACP NAC circuits or two “Dry” contact initiating circuits can be connected to the inputs. These inputs can then be directed to control supervision and power delivery to any combination of the four (4) outputs. Each output is rated at 3.0 Amps (Class “B”) or (Class “A”) and can be programmed to generate a steady or Code 3 Temporal Horn sound and a strobe output under alarm condition. Total load for PS-8 NAC circuits must not exceed the power supplies rated output.

The Power Supplies under non-alarm condition provides independent supervision for Class “A” and Class “B” FACP NAC circuits. In the event of circuit trouble, the FACP will be notified via the POWERPATH steered input (IN1 or IN2). In addition there are two sets of trouble reporting terminals, one used for AC power loss reporting and the other for all troubles. The AC power loss reporting, on the common trouble terminals and on IN1 or IN2, can be delayed for either 30 seconds or 170 minutes. The AC power loss terminals will always report the trouble within 1 second after loss of AC power.

The PS-6 and PS-8 Power Supplies are UL Listed under UL 2572 for MNS and UL Standard 864, 9th Edition to be used with any 24 volt listed regulated notification appliances. They include the capability to synchronize Wheelock strobes and horns and to silence the horn signal when horn/strobes are operating on two wires.

POWERPATH™ Operating Modes

(refer to Installation Manual):

Normal Mode: Provides constant 24 VDC output upon initiation by a voltage to input IN1 or IN2 or by a contact opening on DRY1 or DRY2. The unit returns to standby mode when the input is deactivated.

Wheelock Sync Mode: Provides signals for synchronization of patented

Wheelock audible and strobe notification appliances. Audibles can also be silenced in this mode while the strobes continue to flash.

In>Out Sync Mode: Accepts a synchronization signal on the input to provide a coded output or synchronized output. This signal may come from a FACP, another POWERPATH or a Wheelock SM or DSM synchronization module.

Caution: Do not use strobes on coded output circuits.

True Input Follower Mode: Accepts a coded signal on the input to provide a coded output with the same timing as the input. The signal may come from a FACP, another POWERPATH or other coded source. Caution: Do not use strobes on coded output circuits.

Temporal Mode: Codes the output voltage in a code-3 temporal pattern to drive audible appliances such as horns, bells or chimes. Caution: Do not use strobes on coded output circuits.
