INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX THE INTEGRITY MAINFRAME Mechanical construction The Integrity mainframe comprises a 2U (3.5 inch, 88.9mm) high chassis designed to fit a standard 19 inch rack system. In order to install the necessary input and output cards, it is necessary to disassemble and then reassemble the case.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX Display and controls The display is a 32 character, two line, backlit LCD, Note that, in order to conserve power, the backlight only operates when necessary. There are four control keys (NO, UP, DowN, YES), green LEDs for main and auxiliary power present indication and a yellow LED for general fault indication. The rear panel There are 17 ‘slots’ for audio and control input and output cards. As supplied, only the CPU card is fitted.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX Internal layout Behind the front panel are the circuit boards for the controls, LCD and a fault warning sounder. In the bottom of the case is a motherboard with 17 sockets for cards. CPU Integrity motherboard CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4 CH5 CH6 CH7 CH8 CH9 CH10 CH11 CH12 CH13 CH14 CH15 CH16 Motherboard The motherboard carries eight analogue audio channels, one monitoring tone channel, a data control bus and power distribution.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX INTEGRITY COMPONENTS CPU - Central processor unit card This card is the heart of the system. It receives the d.c. power, it has a serial port for programming and fault reporting and it controls and monitors all the other cards; it drives the display, responds to the front panel controls and logs the faults. See page 23 (Fault Logging) and page 13 (Connecting the mainframe to a PC or printer).
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX The DIP switches are used to select the audio input level to suit the outputs of different classes of audio device and to provide a fixed routing trigger. The connector has an open collector general fault output and allows up to four remote unmonitored switches to be used to route the audio to different zones (subject to configuration). Audio output cards OP2 – Two zone audio output card This card provides the connections for two zones on ‘Weidmüller’ connectors.

INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX CONFIGURATION - INTEGRITY EDITOR Integrity is configured entirely via an easy to use PC program called Integrity Editor. The only functions that can be changed without this program are output levels for paging and music (not emergency messages or announcements), fault reporting/acceptance and local configuration (such as user options on paging panels attached to GPI cards).
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX Options This page is used to select different options that may be required by advanced users. Normally all the option boxes are selected. Simulation This page stores the path to the default sound files, which are in English. If Integrity Editor has been installed using the InstallShield Wizard, this page is not normally used except for selecting the path to custom messages such as non-English.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX Configure the audio output zones Left click on the rectangle to the right of the pre-labelled OP2 card. It will turn blue. Left click the arrow to the right of the ‘Card type’ and select ‘Dual Audio Output’ from the list. This will add two more zones to the system. Add as many OP2 cards as you wish and then select the Zone tabs in turn to configure the zones. Overtype the Description field with the name of that zone. Note that the Fault Text changes to match.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX Configure the audio inputs Left click to the right of the CPU and select an audio input card. In order to provide a fail-safe source in the event of a processor failure, audio inserted via this slot will be routed to all zones. Therefore, this card will normally be used for a life-safety microphone. For an all-call microphone(s), select the 1LS card. For a zonal mic., select the GPI card.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX The SVM card Select the SVM card option and then select the Message 1 tab. Click on Evacuate Message and you will see the tab text change and the Input Image go from a green bell to a red bell. If you select Simulation you will be taken to the default Evacuate message. If you press the green Preview arrow, you will hear the audio file play. If you want to choose a different message, simply select it from the list, and press OK.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX On most Integrity systems, an alert and an evacuate message play at the same time in different zones. This cannot be done with one card so a second SVM card must be configured. This time, select the Alert message as below. Note the Input Image changes to a yellow bell. You have now created a basic six-zone voice alarm system matrix.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX The other tabs on this page have the following functions Slot Properties has the following facilities Politeness Level – This facility is used to prevent a paging console with a higher priority from interrupting a console with a lower priority. For example, a console that has priority level 2 but politeness level 4 will not interrupt units operating at politeness level 3 or 4. In effect, this allows a ‘first come first served’ facility to operate on multiple cards.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX General Configuration The hardware in the PC program is compared with the hardware in the mainframe. Each section of code appears under the relevant heading and is compared. During this process the differences are shown in the left hand column. If the same item appears in both sections that line of code is removed until, eventually, no items related to hardware show.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX General Message slots are of fixed length and if a message overruns the first slot it will run into the next slot. For example, on a 16 kHz unit a wave file recorded at 16 kHz, 16 bit, a 14 second message will fit into message slot 1 and 2, but a 17 second message will fit into slot 1 and 2 and 3, leaving 8 seconds for another message For best results, messages must be recorded in one of the following formats 16 kHz, 16 bit mono .wav 44.1 kHz 16 bit mono .wav 44.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX FAULT LOGGING Overview Integrity does not store time-stamped copies of faults, although it does store a count of all errors that have occurred since the last time they were accepted, up to a count of 99 per fault. However, Integrity does give a time stamped record on the serial port. This section explains how to make use of this to create a time stamped fault log.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX Choose COM1 (or whichever com port your PC uses). When you select a com port rather than a modem other fields are greyed out. Set the baud rate to 19200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control. Click OK and the connection will be made. Click File / Save to make sure that the connection is saved. Saving log to file Having set up the connection, it is normal to save the log directly to file. To do this, select ‘Capture Text’ from the Transfer menu.
INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX Printing directly You can print to the default printer for your PC as events occur. To do this select ‘Capture to Printer’ from the Transfer menu. Note that you can both save and print if you wish. Printing later To print later just open the log you created under item 6 in a suitable editor package such as Notepad, and select ‘Print’ from the file menu.
