Safety Messages
Safety Messages
It is important to follow all instructions shipped with this product. This device is to be installed by trained personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the country electric codes and will follow these guidelines as well as local codes and ordinances, including any state or local noise control ordinances. Listed below are important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
Planning
• If suitable warning equipment is not selected, the installation site for the Informer is not selected properly or the Informer is not installed properly, it may not produce the intended optimum audible warning. If applicable, follow Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) recommendations.
• If the Informer is not activated in a timely manner when an emergency condition exists, it cannot provide the intended audible warning. It is imperative that knowledgeable people, who are provided with the necessary information, be available at all times to authorize activation.
• The sound output of the Informer is capable of causing permanent hearing damage. To prevent excessive exposure, carefully plan placement, post warnings, and restrict access to areas near sirens.
• Activating the Informer may not result in people taking the desired actions if those to be warned are not properly trained about the meaning of warning sounds. Users should follow
FEMA recommendations and instruct those to be warned of correct actions to be taken.
After installation, service, or maintenance, test the system to confirm that it is operating properly.
Test the system regularly to confirm that it will be operational in an emergency.

Informer-PA for Public Address Interface (Model I-IP2 Series C)
Federal Signal www.fedsig.com
General Description
General Description
Introduction
The Informer-PA (model I-IP2) is part of the Federal Signal Intelligent Systems product line designed to interface in-building Public Address (PA) systems. An I-IP2 houses two
Informer-PA PCBs each capable of driving one amplifier channel. Each Informer-PA is an independent device with a LAN interface, digital voice message storage, relays, alarm input, and audio out. Setup is required for each Informer-PA in an I-IP2.
The Informer-PA has an audio output for connecting to existing PA systems and two relay outputs to control external devices. An RS232 port is available for driving an optional scrolling message display. The Informer-PA provides seven standard alert tones and can store up to 4,000 voice or tone messages with 17 hours of total prerecorded tone and voice alerts.
You can rack mount the unit or wall mount using removable brackets. You can power it through Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a network or through local AC power (using external transformer). Using existing network infrastructure significantly lowers installation costs and simplifies wide-scale deployments.
The Informer-PA provides an unmatched value for indoor alert and notification for schools, hospitals, police and fire stations, government facilities, and industrial plants.
See the Informer-IP Series C Setup, Program, and User Manual (part number 25500395 revision C or later) to learn how to set up, configure, program, and use Informer-IP devices.
Features
The Informer-PA has the following features; some features require using the Federal
Signal Commander software system:
• Two independent Informer-PA interfaces.
• 19 inch 1RU rack mount or wall mount.
• Tone and Voice Alert and Notification compatible with Federal Signal Controllers.
• Deliver intelligible voice messages from locally prerecorded files or through the
Commander® system.
• Removable microSD card for custom message generation. Store up to 4000 voice or tone messages that total up to 17 hours of recording time.
• Rear input for external fault input.
• Adjustable volume control and exceptional sound quality.
• Integrated Modbus® TCP industrial PLC interface for control and monitoring.
• Integrated SIP phone interface for live PA, remote wave file, and function control.
• Seven factory-installed siren tones: wail, alternate wail, pulsed wail, steady, alternate steady, pulsed steady, and Westminster chime (auxiliary).

Compliance
Complies with FCC Title 47, Part 15
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) (FCC 15.105)
The Informer-PA was tested and found to comply with the limits for
Class B digital devices pursuant to Part 15 Subpart B of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on.
Try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to a different circuit than the receiver that it is connected to.
Complies with UL 60065 and CAN/CSA Std. C22.2 No. 60065

Installation
Installation
Read and adhere to all safety warnings in this manual before installing the
Informer-PA.
To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the wall per the installation instructions.
SHOCK HAZARD: Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when making electrical connections, drilling holes, or lifting equipment. Therefore, experienced electricians, per national and local electrical codes, acting under the direction of the installation crew safety foreman, should perform the installation.
Determine a Suitable Location
When choosing a location for the Informer-PA, consider the following criteria:
• Place as far as possible from electrically noisy electronic devices to avoid interference. Examples of noisy devices may include microwave ovens, motor-driven devices, light ballasts, and electrical switching devices.
• Requires a connection to a wired Ethernet network. Ethernet wire runs must be less than 328 feet (100 meters) from the nearest network switch.
• Rack or wall mounting is recommended after you have found a suitable location.
• Place within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of an AC power receptacle to eliminate the need for an extension cord unless a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection is available.
Rack Mounting
The Informer-PA is designed for a 19-inch rack mount. Attach the bracket to the
Informer-PA with supplied screws.

Connect each Informer-PA to the LAN using CAT5 cable. If the Wired Ethernet has PoE, no other power connection is required.
If PoE is not available, run the supplied external AC/DC power supply against the wall and plugged into a 120 Vac, 60 Hz outlet. Plug the low-voltage end of the cord into the power jack located at the rear of the Informer-PA. Route the cord to ensure it is protected against walking on, tripping over, or pinching the cord.
Wall Mounting
The Informer-PA can also be wall mounted by moving the mounting brackets. Before mounting the unit, determine a suitable location considering the criteria listed. Ensure the screws are placed into material that can adequately support the weight of the
Informer-PA. The maximum bolt diameter that fits the bracket slot when mounting to drywall is #12. Ensure that the screws are tightened sufficiently to securely fasten the
Informer-PA against the wall.

Memory Card Removal and Installation
The microSD card stores voice and tone messages.
To remove the card:
1. Remove the top of the Informer.
2. Find the microSD card for each of the Informer-PA’s PCB inside the I-IP2.
3. The PCB may require removal from the enclosure for the microSD card to be removed.
4. Gently push the card into the slot. The card can then be removed.
To install the card:
1. Insert and gently push the card until it latches into place. Replace the PCB if removed.
2. Replace cover and tighten screws.

Testing and Training
Testing and Training
After the installation is complete, do the following:
• Test the Informer-PA and all accessories from the control point(s) to ensure it is operating properly.
• Ensure all users are properly trained to use the system before putting the
Informer-PA into service.
• Verify all tone, voice, and text messages contain the correct content per the emergency operating plan. Alerts should exceed the ambient sound levels by at least
10 dB to ensure they can be heard.
• Conduct testing regularly per facility safety plans to ensure the equipment remains in working order, and operators remain familiar with the use of the equipment.
