Chapter 1 Application Information 1.1 Description The SP4 Telephone Zone Controller (SP4-TZC) controls the zone paging capability of the SAFEPATH®4 Multi-Function Facility Communications System. It is used in conjunction with the SP40 and the SP4-APS (SP4 Addressable Paging Splitter). Audio Boosters SPB-80/4, SPB-160, and SPB-320 can be used in conjunction with the SP40. Each audio booster can use additional SP4-APS splitters, increasing the number of possible paging zones.
Table 1 Dialing Scheme Zone Code 00 01 - 68 71 - 87 91 - 99 Dialing Scheme Zones All Call Individual Zones Fixed Zone Groups Logical Zone Groups Note: Zone Code is the splitter zone DTMF tone. All splitters must use the same CLASS of wiring (CLASS “A” or “B”) for the audio output zones. See the SP4APS Installation Instructions (P84577) for proper wiring. Individual Zone and Fixed Zone Group Zone Codes are controlled by the placement of the splitters in the RS485 digital communication circuit.
If the paging zones are set for CLASS “B” then the warehouse Individual Zone Codes will be “01” through “04”, and the front office Individual Zone Codes will be “05” through “08”. The Fixed Zone Group Code for the warehouse will still be “71”, and the front office Fixed Zone Group Code will still be “72”. See Figure 2 for a CLASS “B” example. SP4-TZC RS485 CONNECT THE SP4-TZC RS485 CONNECTION TO THE SP40 SP4-APS FIRST.
1.2 Connections Figure 3 shows the layout of the SP4-TZC PC Board.
NOTE: The Microprocessor PC Board should not be removed from the main PC board. If it has been removed, install it by using the Microprocessor alignment marker shown in Figure 3. Make sure that all pins on the PC board are properly aligned. 1.2.1 Power The SP4-TZC is powered by a separate 24VDC filtered and regulated power supply which can provide a minimum of 150mA of current. The Wheelock RPS-2406 is a good choice. 1.2.

Chapter 2 Installation Procedures 2.1 Notes, Cautions, and Warnings NOTE: All CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are identified by the symbol capital letters. . All warnings are printed in bold WARNING: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
COVER 6.00" 3/4" KNOCKOUTS SHEET METAL SCREW PHILLIPS 1/4" x 3/8" BLACK (4) 11.00" 3/4" KNOCKOUTS Figure 4 Mounting diagram STEP 4 Leave the cover off until all wiring and testing has been completed. STEP 5 Mount the external 24VDC Power Supply near the SP4-TZC. Do not connect the wiring to the SP4-TZC at this time.
2.4 Wiring the SP4-TZC Zone Controller This Section describes the wiring of the SP4-TZC Zone Controller. Following the sequence of Section numbers will ensure a proper installation. 2.4.1 Removable Terminal Block The terminal blocks on the SP4-TZC are removable. To remove a terminal block, pull the block horizontally from the circuit board as shown in Figure 5. Attach each wire to its proper connections, and plug the terminal block back on the board being careful to match and align the pins.
2.4.3 Wiring the Paging Telephone to the SP4-TZC STEP 6 Connect to the PHONE IN terminal using either Section 2.4.3.1 “Stand-Alone Telephone or Unused CO Port Wiring” or Section 2.4.3.2 “Audio Page Port Wiring”. 2.4.3.1 Stand-Alone Telephone or Unused CO Port Wiring If a stand-alone telephone or an unused CO port on a telephone system is used, wire the Tip and Ring wires directly to the PHONE IN terminals. The Tip wire is usually green and the Ring wire is usually red.
2.4.4 Wiring the Background Music Input STEP 7 Connect the Background Music source to the BGM INPUT terminals. See Figure 8. NOTE: The Background Music Input shall be a Line Level Signal 2.5V P-P or 300mVrms at 600 Ohms signal. Background Music Source Figure 8 Connecting the Background Music 2.4.5 Connecting the AUDIO OUT Output STEP 8 Connect the AUDIO OUT from the SP4-TZC to the BGM terminals on the SP40. See Figure 9.

2.5 Powering, Adjusting, and Testing the SAFEPATH® 4 Multi-Function Facility Communications System When all wiring is completed it is time to apply power to the SAFEPATH®4 Multi-Function Facility Communications System. Adjust and test the SP4-TZC Zone Controller and the SP4-APS splitters. 2.5.1 Alert Page Tone Selection Jumper Setting STEP 1 If no alert tone is desired, place the jumper on pins 2 and 3 of JP1. (Factory Default is Alert Tone enabled, with the jumper between pins 1 and 2).
24VDC Power Supply Figure 11 24VDC Connection to the SP4-TZC STEP 2 Apply power to the 24VDC Power Supply. The “POWER” LED indicator will turn ON. The “RS485 COM1 ACTIVE” LED indicator should be BLINKING. The “STANDBY/RUN” LED will BLINK for a maximum of 1 minute before becoming solid ON. See Figure 12 for LED indicator locations. NOTE: If an SP4-APS splitter is not energized during this process, the SP4-TZC will not “see” it and will go on to the next splitter.
2.5.3 Adjustments on the SP4-TZC Zone Controller The SP4-TZC has two adjustments described in Table 3. Table 4 SP4-TZC Adjustments Adjustment Results BGM Volume Adjust (R17) Clockwise for Volume Increase Page Volume Adjust (R7) Clockwise for Volume Increase The page level is set using the "Page Volume" control on the SP4-TZC. Ideal signal level (during a page) occurs when green/yellow Page Level LED's are constantly lit with an occasional flicker of the red Page Level LED.
STEP 1 Calculate the number of Individual Zones available. The number of Individual CLASS “B” Zones available equals the number of SP4-APS splitters times 4. The number of Individual CLASS “A” Zones equals the number of SP4-APS splitters times 2. CLASS x (# of SP4-APS splitters) = # of Individual Zones Available Where Class Equals Class “A” = 2 Class “B” = 4 Examples: If I had 12 SP4-APS splitters, in order to calculate the number of CLASS “B” zones I would multiply the number of splitters by 4.
Chapter 3 SP4 Telzone Programmer 2 Software 3.1 About the SP4 Telzone Programmer 2 Software The SP4 Telzone Programmer 2 software is the second major release of the software, that is designed to operate with an SP4-TZC having firmware version 2.xx. It is NOT backwards compatible with an SP4-TZC having firmware version 1.xx. For SP4-TZC's having firmware version 1.xx, version 1.x.x.x of the SP4 Telzone Programmer software must be used to ensure proper operation.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting 5.1 System Reset Switch The system reset switch is located above the RS485 COM1 port. The location is shown in Figure 16. It is used to reset the network configuration. System Reset Switch Figure 16 Reset Switch Location 5.1.1 Resetting the Network Configuration (Not SP4 Telzone Programmer 2 Programmed) Resetting the network configuration is done when it appears that the paging system is corrupt or an SP4APS splitter has been added, removed or replaced.
5.1.2 Resetting the Network Configuration (SP4 Telzone Programmer 2 Programmed) Resetting the network configuration is done when it appears that the paging system is corrupt or an SP4APS splitter has been added, removed or replaced. Should one of these conditions occur, and the SP4-TZC has been programmed using the SP4 Telzone Programmer 2 software (“USB CONFIG” LED indicator is BLINKING), perform one of these procedures.
STEP 6 NOTE: Launch the SP4 Telzone Programmer 2 software. The Setup file will appear on the main screen. If you want to download and edit the current SP4-TZC configuration, continue on to Step 7.
