Voice Module Installation Guide

Introducing the Voice Module

The Voice module provides audible information about the status of your ProSys system, and enables any remote, touch-tone (DTMF) telephone to act as a keypad for the system. Upon event occurrence, such as alarm activation, the Voice module informs you of a security situation, for example intrusion or fire, by calling you and playing a pre-recorded Event announcement. You can then acknowledge the event and remotely operate the system, as described in the Voice Module Programming and Operations Manual. Remote operation of the system includes a Listen and Talk option that enables you to listen in to your property and talk back, if necessary. It also includes the option to remotely activate or deactivate up to eight home appliances such as heating, lighting, sprinkler systems and garage doors. This guide discusses the tasks involved in installing the Voice module.

Voice Module Components

The following diagram shows the layout of components in the Voice module:

The following is a list of components in the Voice module: Channels, described on page 10. LED Indicators, described on page 11. Jumpers and Connectors, described on page 13.

Voice Module Installation Guide

Channels
The Voice module contains the following three channels, which are located on the voice module PC board: Audio Channel: Used for recording and announcing messages. When recording messages for UOs, zones, partitions and common message it is recommended to connect to a Message Box Unit (MBU) that has buttons to this channel. When the recording or message announcement is performed, all MBUs work in parallel and all microphones connected to this channel are activated.
NOTES:

Both internal and external microphones can be used for recording. In order to ensure the quality of the recording, connect the AUDIO channel to a single MBU only and speak the message into that MBU's microphone. (For more information about messages recording refer to the Voice Module Programming and Operations user manual) When you have finished recording approximately ten MBUs can be connected in parallel.

Listen-in Audio Channel: Used to listen and talk into the premises when using the Listen and Talk option, as well as for announcing messages. It is recommended to connect the MBUs without buttons to this channel. When the Listen and Talk option is used, all MBUs connected to this channel work in parallel (Approximately ten units)

Voice Module Installation Guide

Voice Channel: Used for communication between the Main Panel and the Voice Module. Connect the supplied cable from the Main Panel to the JP2 (See page 13).
NOTE:

The Voice terminals (IN COM OUT) are identical to the voice JP2 connector.

LED Indicators
The Voice module includes two LEDs that provide power and communication indications.

Power LED
The Power LED indicates the status of communication between the Voice module and the Main Panel. Condition Off On Slow Flash Description No voltage power from the main panel There is normal communication with the Bus. The LED starts to flash 15 seconds after communication with the Bus is interrupted, or during installation mode the voice module is not defined in the system.

Jumpers and Connectors

This section describes the jumpers and connectors contained on the Voice module board.

Jumpers
The Voice module board contains the following three jumpers: Jumper 1, described below. Jumper 2, for future use. Jumper 3, for future use.

Jumper 1 Jumper 1 is used to select an external or internal microphone for recording messages. The following diagram shows the placement of the of the selector on jumper 1 when recording messages externally and internally:

EXT.

INT.

External: Place the selector on the (EXT.) pins as shown in the picture when recording messages from a microphone located on an MBU.

Internal: Place the selector on the (INT.) pins as shown in the picture when recording messages from the microphone located on the Voice module board.
NOTE:

The Jumper 1 selector must always be placed in either the EXT or the INT position.

14

Voice Module Installation Guide

Connectors
The Voice module board contains the following two connectors: BUS: Connects the Voice module to the 4-wire Bus. The AUX (RED), COM (BLK), BUS (YEL) and BUS (GRN) terminals are identical to the BUS connector and can be used for the same purpose. VOICE: Connects the Voice module to the VOICE connector on the ProSys Main Panel via the supplied cable. This connector transmits signals from the Voice module to the telephone line during remote communication, and is essential for normal operation of the Voice module.

NOTE:

An independently shielded cable can be used for a distance of up to 5 meters instead of the supplied cable.

Wiring
The Voice module is connected to the following two components: Main Panel, described on page 16. MBU, described on page 17. (Optional)

Main Panel Wiring

The Bus connector connects the Voice module to the Main Panel. Connect the wires in a form of terminal to terminal connection, from the appropriate terminals in the Voice module, to the appropriate connector on the panels BUS terminals, as follows: EXPANSION BUS TERMINALS AUX Color COM BUS BUS

RED

BLK (Black)

YEL (Yellow)

GRN (Green)

Voice Module Installation Guide

MBU Wiring
When connecting the MBU to the Voice module it is recommended to use one of the two wires for the IN and OUT connections (For both Audio and Listen In channels): Independently shielded wires: Used for Electro-magnetically Noisy Environment/Long Distance. The shield should be grounded. Independently twisted pared wires: Used for Electro-magnetically Unquiet Environment/Middle Distance. The second wire should be grounded to COM.

Other wires can be used for Electro-magnetically Silent Environment/Short Distance.

NOTES:

Do not run wires close to power (110/230 VAC), high-voltage wiring or any communication lines. Do not wrap or roll wires. All unused wires should be grounded by connecting them to the COM terminal. The maximum distance between each MBU and the Voice Module should not exceed 150 meter.
