Description
Designed for Department of Defense (DoD) facilities, the
SP40S-D is a Multi-Function Supervised Personnel Alerting,
Paging, Background Music delivery and Emergency Voice
Evacuation System with 24 VDC battery backup. The
SP40S-D integrates with re alarm systems and provides full
control of building audible and visual notication appliances.
This single channel system is capable of delivering 40 watts of
supervised high delity audio power and 2 amps of supervised
24 VDC synchronized strobe power. It comes standard with
an on-board digital voice messaging system with 8 standard
messages, a hand-held microphone, power supply/battery
charger and numerous additional features. The SP40S-D
system is expandable to 5280 watts utilizing the SPB-80/4 (80
watts and 4 amps of strobe power), the SPB-160 (160 watts)
or SPB-320 (320 watts) supervised audio power boosters. All
models are available in 115 VAC or 220 VAC.
To meet the UFC requirement for automatic alarm audible
shutoff after 10 minutes, the SP40S-D includes a 10-minute
time-out feature, which automatically deactivates Fire and
Emergency digital voice (DV) messages inputs 1 - 6 after
10 minutes. Alarm DV messages inputs 7 and 8 do not
automatically time out.
