Audio Boosters
The Wheelock SPB-320, SPB-160 and SPB-80/4 Audio Boosters shall be NFPA compliant supervised audio and supervised 24VDC synchronized strobe power
boosters (some models will have supervised 24VDC synchronized strobe booster capability). The booster shall have 24VDC battery backup capabilities. The
booster shall have the capability to be inter-connected to accommodate large installations with supervised audio power and also supervised and synchronized
strobe power requirements. Three versions of the booster shall be made available: SPB-80/4, (80 watts of supervised audio power and 4 amps of supervised
and synchronized strobe power), SPB-160 (160 watts of supervised audio) or SPB-320 (320 watts of supervised audio).
Each booster shall use 1.2 watts of audio input power (The SPB-320 requires 2.4 watts of audio power) to properly operate and provide additional supervised
audio output power. A combination of boosters can be added together to provide for a maximum of 5,280 watts of supervised audio power. Additional strobe
power can be obtained via a combination of boosters. The audio section of the booster shall be connected via a selectable 70V or 25V input from the Cooper
Notication SPMNS. The strobe section of the booster shall be divided into two sections each supplying two Amps of 24VDC, NAC, supervised, synchronizable,
power limited, Class B strobe outputs, with selectable outputs offering Wheelock sync, pass through, or constant DC and can be activated via 8-33VDC NAC
input or contact closure.
The internal battery charger/power supply shall be capable of charging 24 VDC batteries with a maximum capacity of 33 amp hours. The enclosure shall be
capable of housing the correct number of 12 VDC rechargeable batteries (SPB-80/4 (2), SPB-160 (2), SPB-320 (4)) with a maximum capacity of 12 Amp hours.
Batteries with a larger capacity require an external battery enclosure(s) such as the Cooper Notication BATC or equivalent.
The boosters shall have power-limited circuitry and be a class D amplier with an internal battery charger and power supply. The required batteries (purchased
separately) shall t inside the enclosure (two 12VDC, 12 AH for the SPB-80/4 or SPB-160 and four 12 VDC, 12 AH for the SPB-320). The booster shall operate
on 120VAC, 3.8A, 50 – 60 Hz input. E model boosters shall operate on 240 VAC, 2.5A, 50 – 60 Hz input. The SPB-80/4 or SPB-160 standby current draw
shall be 120mA and alarm current draw shall be 9 Amps. The SPB-320 consists of two SPB-160’s. Each SPB-160 shall have its own power supply and battery
charger. The voice frequency response shall be 400 Hz – 6.5 kHz +/- 3 dB. Removable quick connect/disconnect terminals that accept 12 -22 AWG shall be
used. Multiple LED’s for easy indication of system diagnostic conditions shall be present on the PC board. The Signal to Noise Ratio shall be > 70 dB, the
dynamic range shall be > 65 dB, the Total Harmonic Distortion spec shall be 2%.
The booster shall be wall mountable, enclosed in a steel locking enclosure, with a red nish. Approvals for the booster shall include: UL 2572 for MNS, UL
Standard 864, 9th edition, UL Standard 1711, CSFM and MEA. The system shall be OSHA 1910.165, ADA and UFC 04-021-01 2002 (including October 2007
Draft) compliant. The booster shall carry a 1 Year Warranty.
The SPB-80/4 & SPB-160 enclosure dimensions are 21” H x 16” W x 6” D and the SPB-320 enclosure dimensions are 36” H x 24” W x 6” D.
4 Zone Class B Speaker Splitter
The Wheelock SP4Z-A/B shall be UL 2572 for MNS, UL Standard 864, 9th edition, California State Fire Marshal (CSFM) and New York City (MEA) approved,
2-Zone Class A or 4-Zone Class B Speaker Splitter for operation with the SPMNS, SP40/2, SPB-80/4, SPB-160 and SPB-320. The SP4Z-A/B shall enable a
single supervised speaker audio output to drive up to two Class A supervised speaker audio outputs or four Class B supervised speaker audio outputs. Each
Class A zone shall be capable of accepting up to 40 watts and operate on either 25 or 70.7V RMS of audio input. Each Class B zone shall be capable of
accepting up to 40 watts of audio and operate on either 25 or 70.7V RMS of audio input. The SP4Z-A/B shall be capable of supporting live microphone and
prerecorded emergency voice evacuation messages.
The SP4Z-A/B shall mount inside the enclosure of the SPMNS, SP40/2, SPB-80/4, SPB-160 and SPB-320 and shall have power and trouble LED with individual
zone short and open LED indication. The SP4Z-A/B shall be capable of detecting wiring faults. The SP4Z-A/B shall be powered by 24VDC, which is to be
supplied by the SPMNS, SP40/2, SPB-80/4, SPB-160 or SPB-320. Standby and Alarm current at 24VDC shall be 15mA. Removable wiring terminals for
quick connect/disconnect accepting 12–22 AWG shall be incorporated. All output circuitry shall be power limited. Space shall be provided to allow for naming
of the zones.
