Figure 2 shows the proper mounting requirements for the SPMNS-MIC.
- Install backbox (either flush or surface) adjacent to the SPMNS panel. Be sure that the mounting box is level.
- Attach the 6 wires as shown in the wiring diagram (Figure 1). Be sure to use the specified wire and run the wire through conduit.
- Attach the mounting plate to the box with the 4 screws as shown in Figure 2.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Figure 3 shows the locations of
the switches and LED’s on the SPMNS that require operation during operation
and troubleshooting.
- Set switch SW6 (NAC/CC) to the CC position.
- Set the jumper on J4 to the 1V position.
- Remove the jumper on JP4.
WARNING: IF JP4 JUMPER IS NOT REMOVED THE SPMNS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DETECT ANY MASS NOTIFICATION MIC TROUBLE.
Figure 4:
Figure 4 shows the SPMNS-MIC front panel and the location of the LED’s.
The green LED indicates there are no faults in the SPMNS-MIC. The yellow LED
indicates a trouble condition has occurred in the SPMNS-MIC. The red LED
indicates the SPMNS-MIC is ready to transmit the live voice of the operator.
- With the mouth one to two inches from the microphone, press the microphone push-to-talk button and speak into the microphone and deliver the live audible announcement.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
The yellow “TROUBLE” LED illuminates when there is a problem with the wiring between the SPMNS.
The wiring problems that can occur can be improper wiring (reversed) on the Audio connections and/or CC connections. This will also provide a trouble condition on the SPMNS panel with the system TROUBLE LED illuminated and the “AUX IN” (Auxiliary Input) LED ON. (The SPMNS internal sounder will also sound.) If checking and/or correcting problems do not correct the trouble, then the SPMNS-MIC should be replaced.
