Remote SAFEPATH Manual Sheet 4 of 50
Rev. C December 1998
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation
of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
Request that the local authority having jurisdiction inspect the proposed placement of the notification appliances and receive their
approval.
The output of the audio system may not be heard in all cases. Sound can be blocked or reduced by walls, doors, carpeting, wall
covering, furniture, insulation, bed coverings, and other obstacles that may temporarily or permanently impede the output of the
audio system. Sound is also reduced by distance and masked by background noise. The output of the audio system may not be
sufficient to alert all occupants, especially those who are asleep, those who are hearing-impaired, those who are wearing devices
that plug or cover the ears, and those who have recently used drugs or alcohol. The output of the audio system may not be heard
by an alert person if the output device is placed in an area which is isolated by a closed door, or is located on a different floor from
the person in a hazardous situation or is placed too far away to be heard over ambient noise such as, but not limited to, running
water, traffic, air conditioners, machinery or musical appliances.
WARNING: AUDIBLE SIGNALS MAY MASK MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MONITORING ALARMS. WHERE MEDICAL
EQUIPMENT MONITORING ALARMS ARE IN USE, DO NOT USE AUDIBLE SIGNALS; PROVIDE VISUAL
NOTIFICATION APPLIANCES IN HIGHLY VISIBLE LOCATIONS.
If audible tones and/or voice messages cannot be readily heard and understood clearly within the protected areas as intended, it is
necessary to increase the number and/or sound output intensity of speakers within those areas so that they are heard and
understood clearly when activated.
Notification equipment cannot last forever. Even though this panel 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 this 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 THIS SAFEPATH PANEL ARE NOT SUPERVISED. IF ANY SUCH
HARDWARE FUNCTIONS FAIL, THE REMOTE SAFEPATH PANEL MAY NOT PROVIDE THE INTENDED
WARNING AND/OR NOT INDICATE A TROUBLE CONDITION.
THE FOLLOWING HARDWARE FAILURES WOULD PREVENT THE REMOTE SAFEPATH PANEL FROM
PROVIDING THE INTENDED WARNING:
1. THE POLARITY DETECTION CIRCUITRY FOR THE LINE LEVEL INPUT.
2. THE ALARM CONTACT.
THE FOLLOWING HARDWARE FAILURES WOULD PREVENT THE REMOTE SAFEPATH PANEL FROM
INDICATING A TROUBLE CONDITION.
1. THE "OPEN CIRCUIT" AND "SHORT CIRCUIT" DETECTION CIRCUITRY FOR ANY ONE OR ALL OF
THE NOTIFICATION APPLIANCE OUTPUT CIRCUITS.
2. THE AMPLIFIER SUPERVISION CIRCUITRY FOR ANY ONE OR ALL OF THE AMPLIFIERS.
3. THE STATUS CONTACT.
THESE HARDWARE FUNCTIONS MUST BE PERIODICALLY CHECKED FOR PROPER OPERATION.
Additional copies of this manual may be obtained from the manufacturer.
