Functional Description Carrier Detect Carrier Detect input requires a pull to ground to indicate when carrier is present. Sensors and Sensor Inputs The DCFCB and DCFCTB comes with the following inputs to work with external sensors and 2 built-in sensors to report the following conditions: AC AC (External Sensor Input) Low Battery, 12 VDC Low Battery, 48 VDC Rotation (Proximity Switch) Rotation (Current Sensor) Main Siren Motor Current Intrusion JP22 JP10-1 JP5-11 JP5-9 (only used with 48 V type sirens.
Functional Description Proximity Switch Rotation Sensor Input: JP5-7 is used to connect a proximity switch to detect siren rotation. You may leave this input unconnected if a non-rotating siren is used or if JP10-3 is used to detect rotation. During a normal siren activation (when the siren is rotating), the external rotation sensor, which is usually an open collector proximity device mounted in the siren to detect gear movement, provides active low pulses.
Functional Description #3 is reserved for a 2001AC disconnect option. Relay #4 is reserved for the low voltage cutoff feature. Speaker Output You can use the speaker output at JP2 to monitor received audio, route remote P.A. or provide signal out when the tone generator option is used. You can adjust speaker output up 2.0 Vp-p into an 8-Ohm load using R61. Monitor Received Audio When carrier is present, the received audio is routed to the test speaker output at JP2.
Functional Description JP10 Pin-out Pin #11 FUNCTION #1 Pin #12 common Control Board Power Input The controller has a 115 VAC power input. The DCFCB and DCFCTB may be ordered with the –240B option to enable operation from 208-240 VAC. The AC selection switch (S7) on the control board must always be set to the 110 VAC position. When the proper voltage is applied, the “POWER” LED is lit. Refer to the Installation section on page 48 for installation details.
Theory of Operation Theory of Operation Control Board Theory of Operation Description of DCFCTB Block Diagram Power Supply Section You can power the unit by either 110 VAC or 220 VAC (on JP22). The unit is protected by MOVs V5, V6 and V7, resistors R147 and R148 and by fuse F2. These absorb spikes and limit over-voltages. The power is stepped down by the transformer, rectified by D59 and filtered by C99. The voltage at this point is about 24 Volts DC.
Theory of Operation The unit contains an eight-position dipswitch for setting the unit’s site address. Remote Activation, Sensor and Battery Back-up Voltage Input Section The remote activation inputs are available on connector JP10. Grounding any one of these pins activates the function associated with it. The inputs are protected by limiting diodes and optical-isolator IC U21. There is also a push-button on the board for each of these functions that activate the associated input.
Theory of Operation If the "INT" side is jumpered then the on-board receiver has priority. When it asserts carrier detect the low passes through D2 and R9 turning on Q2. This allows the received audio to pass through Q2, C8 and R39 to the decoder circuits. The low also passes through R11 to Q3 which forces Q4 off preventing audio from the external transceiver from coming through. If both sides of JP4 are jumpered then the two receive audio signals are mixed together.
Theory of Operation POCSAG Decode All POCSAG messages contain a Receiver Identity Code (RIC) or CAP code. This indicates which unit or group of units a message is intended for. The unit must have its RIC configured before it responds to a message. The Standard Format for Federal Signal POSAG codes consists of a five (5) character numeric message preceded by a bracket “[“ and followed by a bracket “]” for a total of seven (7) characters. The first three (3) numbers are the unit number.
Theory of Operation are all normally open with contact ratings up to 5 Amps and 240 Volts AC RMS. K3 and K4 outputs have selectable No or NC contacts. Speaker Output Section The microprocessor (U13) generates warning sounds on pin 17, which are routed out thru amplifier U10 to the speaker output JP2. Serial and I2C Ports Transmit serial data from pin 3 of the micro (U15) goes to U11 - pin 7, which converts the TTL level to +/- 12 volts RS232 levels and passes the transmit data to serial port JP8.

Theory of Operation through which C4 is charged to 4.0 Volts, and this voltage is applied to the noninverting input of IC2B and the inverting input of IC2A. The output of the current sensor is linearly scaled such that a change of 100 Amps in sensed current results in a change of 1.0 Volt at the output, and a change of 1.0 Amp results in a change of 0.01 Volts at the output. Using this calibration, POT1 and POT2 can be adjusted to set upper and lower current thresholds, respectively.
Theory of Operation results in an active high applied to J1-2, indicating that the sensed current is outside the acceptable range. Miscellaneous Capacitors C1 and C3 are power supply bypass capacitors that act to absorb power supply line transients. Capacitors C2 and C5 dampen any transient voltages on the inputs of the op-amps.

Theory of Operation Figure 7 Rotator Motor Current Sensor Board Schematic 2005221B Battery Charger Theory of Operation Overview The charger features a switch mode voltage and current regulator to improve efficiency and reduce heat. It switches on each 60 Hz AC cycle, one at a time, as needed, to control voltage and current. The charger incorporates a three-stage charge algorithm to charge the battery without gassing and to maintain the batteries at the optimum charge level.
Theory of Operation Circuit Description The charger implements a three-stage charging algorithm. The three stages are trickle charge, bulk charge, and float charge. The stages operate as follows. The charger supplies a steady 2 Amp current to the battery until the battery voltage reaches a predetermined threshold value. The purpose behind trickle charging is to prevent a potentially hazardous condition caused by continuously pumping bulk charge current into a damaged battery.
Theory of Operation above the 10 Volt threshold. Current is applied until the battery voltage rises to 13.5 Volts. Float Charge The float charge is entered when the battery voltages reaches 13.5 Volts. The battery voltage is held at 13.5 Volts. While in the float state, the charger supplies up to 4 Amps to a load and the battery. The charger remains in the float/bulk charge state until the battery voltage drops below 9 Volts.

Installation Siren Connections The complete system wiring diagrams are shown in Figure 10 DCFCTB Wiring Diagram, Figure 11 DCB Wiring Diagram, Figure 12 DCFCB Wiring Diagram. All interconnections between the Siren and Control Unit are accomplished using three wires. Two 2 AWG wires provide operating power to the siren motor. A single 12 AWG wire provides operating power to the rotator motor.
Installation AC Power Connections TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL UNIT, DO NOT CONNECT 240VAC POWER WITHOUT A MODEL –240B STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER. 1. As shipped from the factory, the Control Unit is configured for 120 VAC operation. The AC selector switch, S7 on the siren control board, must be set to the 120 VAC position (refer to -240B Wiring on page 80 for operation at 240 VAC or 2001TRB Wiring on page 74 if the 2001TRB option is used). 2.
Installation HTR4 (Battery Warmers) section on page 81 and Figure 21 HTR2 and HTR4 Wiring Diagram). 2. There are several wires entering the battery cabinet: a red 4 AWG, a black 4 AWG, and a multiple conductor cable. The red and black 4 AWG wires provide 48 VDC operating power to the siren. The multiple conductor cable provides the charge current for the batteries. Several white wires with lugs on each end are also packaged with the batteries. These white wires are used to connect the batteries in series.
Installation Land Line Control You may activate the controller by applying contact closures to the remote activation inputs. Refer to the Landline and Local Pushbutton Activation section on page 28 for a functional description and details on interfacing and wiring connections. Antenna Installation TO PREVENT ELECTROCUTION OR SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY; INSTALL ANTENNA AWAY FROM POWER LINES AND INSTALL WITH PROPER GROUNDING. Refer to section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NAPA No. 70.
Installation 3. Insert the elements into their respective locations through the boom, starting with R1 (the reflective element) in the hole closest to the mounting holes. Then insert Dr, D1 etc. in that order. Note A: Shortest element is furthest away from the mount and increases in size as it gets closer to the mount. Note B: Be very careful to line up the holes and not cross thread when securing the elements in the next step. The bolts must tighten all the way down upon the lock washers. 4.
Installation D. Return to the dimensions shown in table 1 if there is any trouble achieving a good match. If the element dimensions are incorrect for the frequency being used, low VSWR may be unattainable. If the VSWR specification is still unattainable, replace the cable (A simple ohm meter check of the cable does not guarantee that the antenna cable is good, due to the DMM not having the ability to check the cable at high frequencies. If that does not take care of the problem, replace the antenna.

Pre-operational System Testing Pre-operational System Testing The output sound level of a siren is capable of causing severe hearing discomfort or permanent hearing damage. Therefore, ALWAYS wear adequate hearing protection and minimize exposure time when performing any testing or maintenance on the siren. Failure to properly test the siren system before placing into service may prevent the siren from operating in an emergency.
Pre-operational System Testing Activate a siren function by momentarily depressing one of the function pushbuttons on the controller board. Verify that input #4 indicator (D14) on the controller board turns on for the duration of the siren function. AC Power Sensor Verify that the AC power indicator (D17) on the controller board is on while AC power is active. Measure across F1 TB5-1 and TB5-5 for 120 VAC.
Pre-operational System Testing indicated, follow up by load testing each battery with an automotive type battery load tester (180 Amp load recommended). 6. Turn AC power on by connecting F1 and F2 and turning on the service disconnect switch. Battery Charger Voltage Measurement To measure the output voltage of each charger, it must be connected to a battery. Since the battery’s state of charge affects the output voltage of the charger, the measured voltages varies.
Pre-operational System Testing DTMF Transmit Level Adjustments (DTMF versions of DCFCTB only) 1. To Transmit and generate a DTMF test tone, apply a jumper across the JP15 on the FCT controller board, (refer to Figure 3 Communications/Controller Board Layout on page 24 for details). 2. Confirm the deviation level is at 3.0 kHz (or 1.5 kHz for a 12.5 kHz spaced channel). This level has been pre-set at the factory, however if adjustment is required, set R71 on the controller board for the required deviation.
Pre-operational System Testing *Note: Deviation levels are cut in half on 12.5 kHz spaced channels. 3. Encode the appropriate DTMF strings and or 2-tone tones required to activate the desired siren function. Confirm reliable decoding of at least 10 of 10 tries. 4. Plug JP21 back in. Confirming Controller Auto-Reporting By toggling one of the following sensor inputs, confirm that the controller sends a correct report to the SS2000 base controller.
Service and Maintenance Service and Maintenance The siren has moving parts, high operating current, explosive gases, corrosive materials, and high output sound levels which could cause severe personal injury, electrocution, or death. Service or maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with the siren, associated controls, and power sources being used.
Service and Maintenance 3. Poll the system for siren status reports. 4. Examine each site report for any failed condition. If you detect a failure condition, notify designated service personnel. Annual Inspection Perform the pre-operational system test procedure on an annual basis. Refer to the Pre-operational System Testing section on page 67 for details.
Options Options Model 2001TRB This option uses a transformer/rectifier for primary system power with battery back-up and allows the siren to operate from a 208, 220 or 240 VAC power source without the use of the batteries. During a power failure, an automatic switch to battery operation occurs to maintain the siren’s normal operation. Specify the AC line voltage when ordering. The 2001TRB has a 115 VAC secondary tap to provide power to the siren control cabinet.

Push a small screwdriver into the square opening in the terminal block to open the contacts of this block. 4. Follow the instructions included with the lightning protector (supplied) and install in the service disconnect. 5. Size the fuse or circuit breaker in the service disconnect to 15 Amps maximum.
Options Model 2001HR (Holding Relay) This option enables the control of both of the siren motors from a single contact closure on one-way models. This feature is typically required for telephone line control systems and is only required if an FC is not purchased. The 2001HR is a holding relay, which holds the rotator motor on for 15 seconds after the control contact is released, keeping siren rotation active during Wail signals. The control contact is wired between K2-C1 and ground.
