WARNINGSSpecific warnings used in this manual are summarized below. These warnings appear throughout the manual.

• Do not wear jewelry while installing the HPSAs, HPSA batteries, or the HPSA horn arrays. It may get caught on equipment resulting in physical injury.

• To avoid the risk of physical harm or battery short circuit when disconnecting a battery, remove the terminal from the negative post before removing the terminal from the positive post.

• To avoid the risk of physical harm or battery short circuit when connecting batteries, connect the terminal to the RED positive post before the black negative post.

• Before connecting electronics cables, make sure the power switch on the PDB is toggled to the off position. Failure to set the switch may result in shock or possible equipment damage.

• To avoid hearing damage wear ear protection when issuing alarms/tones locally. • Perform all maintenance as directed. Failure to follow directions may result bodily injury and/or damage to

the unit. • Do not smoke or use an open flame when working on the battery. An accidental spark could result in battery

explosion. • Do not attempt to reinstall the HPSA batteries without referring to Chapter 5, “Connecting Cables to

Electronics Components”and Chapter 6, “Installing the Batteries” for instructions. Failure to follow instruction may result in bodily injury and/or damage to the unit.

CAUTIONSSpecific cautions used in this manual are summarized below and pages referenced. These cautions appear throughout the manual.

• Turn the horn driver until tight and the drain hole is at the bottom. Failure to properly position the drain hole may result in water build up and equipment damage.

• Adequately tighten the hex head bolts securing the horns to their mount. If not tightened, horns may loosen and cause damage to equipment.

• To minimize possible equipment damage from electrical surges caused by lightning, all cables entering the electronics enclosure should be properly grounded according to local electrical codes. Enclose all cables inside metallic pipes, ground the pipes (observing low RF impedance), connect all cables to surge suppressors (MOV to ground), and use a ground mat in sandy areas.

• If using a USB RS-232 dongle, ensure it is not bumped during the firmware download process. If the cable is disconnected or the dongle is bumped, the connection may be lost, and it will not be possible to download firmware using HyperTerminal. It will be necessary to re-program the DC board.

FIGURE 1.1 HPSA Components

The HPSA-8100-R Series is controlled by an Integrated Base Station (IBS) using the WAVES 8 software. The HPSA includes an IP Communicator (IPC) which sends and receives audio and data via an RTP multicast stream over a direct or wireless (using the optional RADIO-900M) Ethernet communications network.The HPSA is powered by a universal 100 - 240 VAC source and converts the AC to 36 VDC, 12.6 A, which is then fed to the Power Distribution Board (PDB) for additional conversion and distribution. The PDB converts and distributes the voltages as follows:

• Steps the 36 VDC up to +48 VDC and distributes as follows: +48 VDC to the Fan Assembly, +48VDC to the Amplifier Board to power the Amplifier circuitry and AMP

Drivers +48VDC Battery Charge voltage to the four 12VDC Back-up Batteries

• Steps the 36 VDC down to +15 VDC and distributes as follows: +15VDC to the IPC, Amplifier Board and PM1

In the event of AC power loss to the HPSA, the PDB receives +48VDC from the batteries for distribution of back-up power to the HPSA components.

System Components

The Audio Amp receives analog pre-amp signal from the PM1 and provides an amplified output audio signal that drives the external speakers/horns.The IPC receives command/control information over Ethernet from the IBS (or optional RADIO-900M),converts the information to serial RS232 and sends it to the Device Controller (DC, part of the Control Panel Assembly). The IPC also receives serial RS232 from the DC and converts it to Ethernet for transmission to the IBS (or optional RADIO-900M). Additionally, the IPC has the ability to receive an audio stream over Ethernet and provides an analog preamp signal to the PM1.The PM1 converts the pre-amp audio and digitized audio from the IPC and DC respectively for processing. The DC Board processes command/control messages.

1.4 SYSTEM COMPONENTS1.4.1 Speaker Type - Horn Array

The HPSA supports 2, 4, 6 or 8 Horn speaker arrays. All electrical cabling is run from the Horn Speakers to the electronics housed in the HPSA enclosure. The HPSA Horn arrays are designed to provide maximum efficiency for sound generation and distribution. Depending on the number of horns, the array can provide 200–1600 watts of output and 108–120 dBA sound pressure level (SPL) at 30m on-axis.

1.4.2 Enclosure The HPSA-8100-R Series enclosure is designed for indoor or outdoor installation. The cabinet enclosure houses the electronics and the batteries.The HPSA-8100-R electronics are delivered as a modular design. The boards and components are mounted to an aluminum back-panel housed in the electronics enclosure.

1.4.2.1 Amplifier ModulesHPSA-8100-R power amplifiers feed up to 800 W of audio signal power per module to the speakers.The amplifiers are capable of operating from four 12 V batteries.

1.4.2.2 Control Panel AssemblyThe Local Interface device (LID), Device Controller (DC) and Personality Module (PM1) Boards are all part of the Control Panel Assembly. The LID includes the LCD Display and Keypad, providing the User an interface for configuring Volume Control and displaying HPSA information. The Device Controller (DC) is located under the LCD Control Panel; it is the processing unit for the system and contains the system firmware. The DC retains its configuration in a non-volatile EEPROM.The Personality Module (PM1) provides peripheral interface between the DC and the IPC required for application-specific use. The PM1 accepts processed audio signals from the DC, converts the signal to analog, and passes it to the Audio Amplifier. The PM1 accepts the pre-amp audio output from the IPC, digitizes it and sends it to the DC for processing. Additionally, the PM1 also stores local audio messages for the HPSA.



1.4.2.3 Power Distribution BoardAs previously discussed, the PDB accepts voltages from the power supply and steps them up or down to provide appropriate housekeeping and rail voltages for distribution within the system. The PDB includes the following:

• Input voltage 100 - 240 VAC auto switch (Universal AC)• Over current protection• Firmware protection against overcharging• Firmware protection against deep discharge [Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD)]

1.4.2.3.1 Battery Charger CircuitWhen the AC input fails, the HPSA is powered by four heavy-duty, deep drain 12VDC Back-up Batteries. The HPSA Battery Charger circuit is designed to output a maximum of 56 V (14 V/battery, 2.33 V/cell) to a bank of four series-connected lead-acid batteries. It operates in a constant current mode limited to a total of four amps.Battery monitoring consists of the following:

• No Battery• Battery Low• Battery OK• Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD)

The battery string voltage is queried periodically using a two-stage test. The first stage applies a constant current of 4A, the second stage applies a constant voltage of 54.6 V. If the battery string voltage is between 43–44 V a low voltage indication is activated, and in an effort to preserve the batteries from deep discharge, the system will be shut down by the controller in approximately three minutes if a message is not in progress. If a message is in progress, the system will remain active until the message is complete.If a low voltage discharge (LVD) event occurs, the low voltage indication will not change state nor will the system power be restored until the battery string voltage is between 47–48 V. When correct voltage conditions are met, the supply-voltage automatically turns back on within minutes after the mains charging voltage returns to an acceptable level.

1.4.2.4 Local Messaging The HPSA's locally stored message capability is used in conjunction with the IPC to provide local control of broadcast messages. Local messages are activated through the local control panel on the HPSA.

1.4.2.5 Intrusion DetectionA mechanical detector is positioned inside the electronics enclosure that detects when the enclosure door is open or ajar. If the door is opened, the control panel back-light (BL) automatically illuminates until the door is closed. In addition, the door-open-trouble-output is activated to inform the WAVES software of the event.

“Door Open” results in LCD back-light On (feature is always enabled.)


System Components

1.4.2.6 Electronics Grounding and Lightning ProtectionThe HPSA-8100-R has the following transient lightning protection features:

• Speaker protection • AC surge protection

Additionally, an RF Lightning Protection Module (LPM) is provided with the (optional) RADIO-900M.In addition to the standard AC power source, the HPSA-8100-R can draw power from the four maintenance-free batteries. Battery capacity enables standby operation for up to 72 hours without mains power, dependent upon intermittent and continuous load conditions.


Acoustic Considerations

CHAPTER 2

Site Design

Prior to installing the HPSA-8100-R, survey the site and make note of pertinent factors that can impact successful communications. This chapter presents configuration and installation elements to consider when planning an effective installation.The following sections are included in this chapter.

• Acoustic Considerations• Grounding and Lightning Considerations• Temperature Considerations• Wind Load Considerations

2.1 ACOUSTIC CONSIDERATIONSWhen preparing a site’s installation design, consideration should be given to obstructions in the sound path, natural and normally occurring ambient noise, distances between HPSA and Speakers, height of HPSA and Speakers, as well as reflections (and latency) off of buildings. For example, an HPSA located in an open area has approximately twice the range of an HPSA in a city.

It is recommended that corrosion resistant conduits be used for housing cables and wires to and from the HPSA, Speakers, and other System equipment.

WHEN DESIGNING AND INSTALLING ELECTRONIC CONNECTIONS AND CABLE RUNS, CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PROPERLY ROUTE AND SEPARATE AC POWER, RF, AND SIGNALING CABLES.

INSTALLATION OF THE HPSA AND SPEAKER/HORN ASSEMBLIES SHOULD BE DESIGNED AND INSPECTED FOR STRUCTURAL SAFETY AND INTEGRITY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. ALL INSTALLATIONS SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH COUNTRY, NATIONAL, OR LOCAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION.


Site Design

2.2 GROUNDING AND LIGHTNING CONSIDERATIONS Lightning protection is important and should always be considered when installing the HPSA-8100-R System. The HPSA has a unique lightning arrestor that protects the amplifiers and controllers from a lightning strike to the drivers. All cables entering the electronics enclosure should be properly grounded according to Country, National, or Local electrical codes. Surge protection should be included in the design and implemented during installation. The following four rules should be designed for and implemented to minimize damage from electrical surges due to lightning strikes:

1. Protect all cable runs by placing them inside corrosion resistant metallic pipes.2. Ground all pipes, observing low RF impedance.3. Connect all cables to surge suppressors (MOV to ground).4. Use a ground mat in sandy areas.

2.3 TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS2.3.1 Horn Arrays

The horn arrays operate within an ambient temperature range of –25°C (–13°F) to +60°C (+140°F).

2.3.2 BatteriesExtreme changes in temperature shorten battery life and decrease performance. Maintenance schedules should be considered when determining battery replacement. Under normal use, in moderate temperatures, the batteries have a useful life of 3–5 years.

2.3.3 AmplifiersAs a safety measure, the amplifiers include a security shutoff at a temperature of approximately 95oC (203oF). The time it takes to reach this temperature will vary depending on the ambient temperature and the starting temperature of the equipment’s heat sink.

2.4 ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONSConsiderations for placement of the HPSA should include access to a standard electrical outlet. A laptop computer will need to be used when configuring the HPSA during initial set up and activation.

2.5 DISTANCES BETWEEN HPSA AND SPEAKERSWhen designing the location of the HPSA and Speakers, care should be taken to consider the distance between the units. Appropriate cables and wires should be selected based on distances between the HPSA and the Speakers, AC Power Source, and other System Equipment.AC voltage and RF signal quality and strength are affected by the following:

• Cable type (material, diameter, loss/attenuation per foot)• Gauge of the wire or size of cable

CHAPTER 3

Installing the Speaker Arrays

After analyzing the site and designing the installation, the HPSA-8100-R installation can begin. This chapter discusses the required steps for installing the Speaker Horn arrays. The following sections are included in this chapter.

• Installation Methodology• Unpacking Equipment• Installing Horn Arrays• Hearing Protection Warnings

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL THE SPEAKERS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAN CAUSE BODILY INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE HPSA.

Any installation material that is cut, such as a strut or bracket, should have the cut end sealed with Zinc Galvanizing paint to protect the exposed area.

INSTALLATION OF THE HPSA AND SPEAKER/HORN ASSEMBLIES SHOULD BE DESIGNED AND INSPECTED FOR PROPER WIND LOAD, STRUCTURAL SAFETY AND INTEGRITY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. ALL INSTALLATIONS SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH COUNTRY, NATIONAL, OR LOCAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION.

When installing the Speakers/Horn Assemblies:• Care should be taken to use corrosion resistant material for

hardware and support structures such as struts, fasteners, straps, banding, etc.

• Consider the use of anti-seize compounds to prevent threaded couplings from binding, corroding, and pitting. Select an appropriate compound based on environmental factors and the type of hardware and materials used during installation.



3.1 INSTALLATION METHODOLOGYHPSA-8100-R horns and speakers are most commonly mounted onto a pole; however, it is not uncommon to encounter a site that presents physical restrictions that dictate an unconventional mounting method. Refer to the Site Design document for placement of Horn Arrays.

3.2 UNPACKING EQUIPMENT

1. Before unpacking an equipment container, inspect the container for damage. If you notice any damage, immediately report it to Cooper Notification Customer Satisfaction.

2. Place the container on a flat surface, open the carton and inventory the items as they are removed from the carton.

3. Place the items on a clean surface as they are removed from the carton.4. Inspect each item. If you notice any physical damage to a component, or if any

component is missing, immediately report it to Cooper Notification Customer Satisfaction.

3.3 INSTALLING HORN ARRAYS

1. Gather the horns, drivers, and mounting hardware. a. The following items are included in an HPSA-8102-R system; HPSA-8104 -

8106, and 8108 will have additional items accordingly.2 horn speakers (1 set)2 drivers per horn set and 2 driver covers per horn setHardware kit and other hardware as determined by the installer

b. The following items are sold separately and ordered based on the number of Horn Assemblies and their location with respect to the HPSA Electronics cabinet:

Do not throw away any manufacturer instructions or maintenance sheets. These may be called out in steps outlined in this manual.

The installation crew is responsible for procuring all installation equipment and hardware not included with the Cooper Notification equipment.

Rather than try to present every possible method of installing the horns, the steps outlined in this section describe how to mount the horns onto a pole.

Refer to the site design to determine the number of horns that will be installed (2–8). Horns are installed as a pair.


Installing Horn Arrays

2 Cable runs per horn set (when installing more than one set of horns) Sold Separately):

2 Extension cables per horn set (Sold Separately): Cable connectors (Sold Separately)

2. The Hardware Kit includes crimp-on quick connects that must be installed on the speaker cables. Follow the directions below to install the crimp-on quick connects.a. Strip the back outer sheath approximately 4 inches (10 cm) to allow for

connection to both driver pins.b. Strip approximately.25 inch (60 mm) of each lead.

Insert the wire into the provided quick connects and crimp in place with a high-quality crimp tool.

3. Thread the connector end of the extension cable through the opening inside the speaker horn recess to the driver area (see Figure 3.1).

Ensure the wire is fully inserted prior to crimping and that no loose wire strands are present. Test each connection by pulling on the connector to ensure the crimping procedure what done correctly.

The mounting bolts must be installed before the drivers are mounted.




DO NOT WEAR JEWELRY WHILE INSTALLING THE HPSA HORN ARRAYS; IT MAY GET CAUGHT ON EQUIPMENT RESULTING IN PHYSICAL INJURY.



FIGURE 3.1 Thread cable through Horn recess

4. Insert a rubber O-ring into the threaded Driver opening on the Horn. (Refer to Figure 3.2).

FIGURE 3.2 Attach the Driver to the Horn

5. Carefully screw the Horn Driver into the Horn until hand -tight. Make sure that the drain hole on the driver is at the bottom and the quick connects are extruded, not crimped.

The speaker kit includes two O-Rings, each of difference thickness. The installer might have to install either of the O-Rings or combine them both to “snuggly” tighten the Horn while at the same time properly placing the drain hole at the bottom.

It is difficult to see the drain hole while connecting the Horn; therefore, it is helpful to notice the placement of the drain hole compared to a spot on the Driver label or place a mark on the Driver label indicating the drain hole’s position. Additionally, to prevent removal the cover, place a mark on the outside of the horn at the edge, just below where the drain is located on the driver.

Turn the Horn Driver until hand-tight (snug - do not over tighten) and the drain hole is at the bottom. Failure to properly position the drain hole may result in water build-up and equipment damage.

11. Repeat steps 3–10 for all Horns.12. Refer to the site design to determine which Horn configuration to use: omni-

directional (facing opposite directions) or uni-directional (facing the same direction).For Omni-Directional Mounting:a. Position the Horns facing opposite directions around the pole, wrap the

speaker cable around the driver 2 - 3 times (to provide extra cable for future modifications if needed), and then route the extension cable through the siren recess (hanging down).

b. Secure the Horns to each other using hex head bolts, hex nuts, flat washers, and split-lock washers.

It is necessary to ensure the polarity of all drivers are identical. The driver is marked as Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Terminal 1 must be connected to Horn # positive (+).

Attach Driver cover to Driver assembly on Horn.



FIGURE 3.4 Positioning Omni-Directional Horns

For Uni-Directional Mounting:a. Position the Horns facing the same direction around the pole, wrap the

speaker cable around the driver 2 - 3 times (to provide extra cable for future modifications if needed), and then route the extension cable through the siren recess (hanging down).

b. Secure the Horns to each other using hex head bolts, hex nuts, flat washers, and split-lock washers.

FIGURE 3.5 Positioning Uni-Directional Horns

13. Label the speaker wires as follows:

Adequately tighten the hex head bolts securing the Horns to their mount. If not tightened, Horns may loosen and cause damage to equipment.

On a 4 1/2 inch diameter pole, the speakers must be mounted with a gap of approximately 1/2-inch (1.25-cm) between each set of speakers. Verify the gap distance is the same on each side of the pole between speakers; if the gap is not equal, additional speakers added to the system will not properly line up.

Wrap Horns around pole and secure them to each other.

Troubleshooting

CHAPTER 9

HPSA-8100-R Troubleshooting

To determine if the HPSA-8100R and all of its components are working successfully, it is important to know how to troubleshoot the system properly. This chapter provides information with respect to troubleshooting the HPSA-8100R system.The following sections are included in this chapter:

• Troubleshooting• HPSA Components, Cabling and Wiring• LED Status and Trouble Indicators• Replacing the IPC

9.1 TROUBLESHOOTING This section provides guidelines for a qualified technician to recognize HPSA trouble symptoms along with the actions and next steps necessary to identify potential causes. The most common cause of trouble symptoms in the HPSA electronics is due to loss of AC Power and a resulting low (or no) Battery Backup Power.Initial troubleshooting should always begin with verifying the HPSA’s AC and Battery Backup Power status on the WAVES Software.The next step is to check power and voltages as indicated below in Section 9.1.1. Once Primary AC Power and Battery Backup Power are verified, the technician should refer to

The information provided in this Chapter works in conjunction with the manuals listed in Table 1.2, “Installation Instructions and Manuals” .Only properly trained personnel should troubleshoot the HPSA-8100-R

TO AVOID PHYSICAL INJURY, DO NOT WEAR JEWELRY WHILE TROUBLESHOOTING, INSTALLING OR UNINSTALLING EQUIPMENT.

TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, ENSURE THE HPSA IS POWERED DOWN BEFORE REMOVING CABLES OR ELECTONIC COMPONENTS.



Table 9.1, “Troubleshooting Checklist and Flow Chart” and the remaining sections of this Chapter to assist with more detailed in-depth troubleshooting guidelines.

9.1.1 Power VerificationThe following power components of the HPSA-8100-R should be verified if the HPSA or any of its sub-assemblies lose power.

9.1.1.1 AC PowerIf the HPSA-8100-R does not have power, check the RED Button located above and to the left of the PDB. The RED Button should be illuminated if AC Power is applied to the HPSA.

• If AC Power is not available the HPSA should be powered by the Backup Batteries. Troubleshoot as follows: Verify 110 - 240 VAC at input to HPSA TB6 C/N/G Verify status of AC circuit breaker and disconnect Verify Backup Battery status and voltages as indicated in Section 9.1.1.2.

9.1.1.2 Battery VoltageWAVES software monitors the batteries. Battery Monitoring consists of three functions: battery low, battery OK, Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD). The battery voltage is queried periodically using a two-stage test. The first stage applies a constant current of 4A, the second stage applies a constant voltage of 54.6 V. If the battery string voltage is less than 54.5 VDC (13.63 V/battery, 2.27 V/cell) then the charger will turn on and charge the batteries.

If the battery string voltage is between 43–44 VDC, a low voltage indication is activated, and in an effort to preserve the batteries from deep discharge, the system will be shut down by the controller in approximately three minutes if a message is not in progress. If a message is in progress, the system will remain active until the message is complete.

If an LVD event occurs, the system power be restored until the battery voltage is between 47-48 VDC (11.87 V/battery,1.98 V/cell). When correct voltage conditions are met, the supply voltage automatically turns back on a few minutes after the mains charging voltage exceeds the under-voltage threshold.If there is no AC Voltage into the HPSA, perform the following:

• Determine the Low or No Battery status as indicated on the Waves software• Measure battery stack voltage on the PDB (A4 Board) TB1 and 2• If no DC voltage is present, verify the Fuse in line with the Battery + voltage is

not blown• If battery stack voltage is less than 48VDC, disconnect and test each battery

individually for proper voltage (12VDC). • Replace batteries as necessary
