Chapter 2: Safety Precautions
NOTE: In areas prone to lighting strikes, using a surge protection device is recommended.
Reference TESAN number S002-99 for recommended manufacturers of surge protection
equipment.
This TESAN (Technical Engineering Support Application Notice) is available from the Cooper
Wheelock website (www.cooperwheelock.com) and is found under the Technical Support tab.
NOTE: This SP40S Multi-Function Facility Communication System
will not work without power.
The SP40S Multi-Function Facility Communication System is powered by 120VAC. 24VDC re-
chargeable batteries provide backup power, should be purchased separately. If both sources of
power are cut off for any reason, the SP40S Multi-Function Facility Communication System
will
not operate.
1. DO NOT assume any installation, operation, and testing details not shown in this
manual.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the SP40S Multi-Function Facility Communication
System without the dead front panel being properly in place.
2.2.1 Expected Equipment Lifecycle
Notification equipment cannot last forever. Even though the SP40S Multi-Function Facility
Communication System is expected to last up to ten years, any of its parts or components could
fail before then.
2.2.2 Periodic Testing
1. Cooper Wheelock recommends testing of the entire protective signaling system,
including the SP40S Multi-Function Facility Communication System, all notification
equipment, as well as all messages and their output channel, and priority assignment, at
least twice each year, or more often as required by local, state and federal codes,
regulations and laws, by qualified personnel.
2. If the notification equipment is not working properly, immediately contact the
installer and have all/any problems corrected immediately.
3. Replace any malfunctioning components immediately; do not attempt to repair
malfunctioning components. Return malfunctioning components for factory repair or
replacement. In the event you cannot contact the installer, contact the manufacturer.
WARNING: For proper operation in life safety applications,
perform the following: (a) Connect the SP40S Multi-Function Facility
Communication System to a listed compatible and properly operating
control panel, which controls its activation. (b) Ensure that all
equipment is properly interconnected and operating. (c) Make sure
the installer checks the compatibility of all equipment prior to
installation; otherwise, the SP40S Multi-Function Facility
Communication System and/or the control panel may be damaged
and/or fail to operate in an emergency situation.
