Installation manual

SAFEPATH Manual Sheet 6 of 78
Rev. C April 1999
Notification equipment cannot last forever. Even though SAFEPATH is expected to last up to ten years, any of its parts or
components could fail before then. Therefore testing of the entire protective signaling system, including the SAFEPATH panel, all
notification equipment, as well as all messages and their output channel, and priority assignment, must be conducted at least twice
each year, or more often as required by local, state and federal codes, regulations and laws, by qualified personnel. If the
notification equipment is not working properly, immediately contact the installer and have all/any problems corrected immediately.
Malfunctioning components should be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair malfunctioning components. Malfunctioning
components should be returned for factory repair or replacement. In the event you cannot contact the installer, contact the
manufacturer.
WARNING: CERTAIN HARDWARE FUNCTIONS ON THE SAFEPATH PANEL ARE NOT SUPERVISED. IF ANY SUCH
HARDWARE FUNCTIONS FAIL, THE SAFEPATH PANEL MAY NOT PROVIDE THE INTENDED WARNING
AND/OR NOT INDICATE A TROUBLE CONDITION.
THE FOLLOWING HARDWARE FAILURES WOULD PREVENT THE SAFEPATH PANEL FROM PROVIDING
THE INTENDED WARNING:
1. THE "SHORT CIRCUIT" DETECTION CIRCUITRY FOR ANY ONE OR ALL OF THE EIGHT CONTACT
INPUTS.
2. THE SERIAL PORT RECEIVER.
3. THE PLAY
CONTACT FOR EACH OF THE FOUR OUTPUT CHANNELS.
THE FOLLOWING HARDWARE FAILURES WOULD PREVENT THE SAFEPATH PANEL FROM
INDICATING A TROUBLE CONDITION.
1. THE "OPEN CIRCUIT" DETECTION CIRCUITRY FOR ANY ONE OR ALL OF THE EIGHT CONTACT
INPUTS.
2. THE AUDIO SUPERVISION CIRCUITRY FOR EACH OF THE FOUR OUTPUT CHANNELS.
3. THE STATUS CONTACT.
THESE HARDWARE FUNCTIONS MUST BE PERIODICALLY CHECKED FOR PROPER OPERATION.
