UltraVoice Manual - Alerting & Notification

4.0 Control Unit
The information in this section provides
the user with guidelines necessary for
installation.
Control Unit mounting location must first
be considered. The Control Unit can be
mounted indoors as well as outdoors. In
order to avoid losses in speaker power, it
is recommended that the speaker array
and Control Unit be installed without
lengthening the 40-foot interconnecting
cable supplied. If it is necessary to make
a longer cable run, increasing the wire
size of the entire cable to 12 AWG or
larger is recommended.
Whether the Control Unit is installed
indoors or outdoors, it should be located
out of the reach of vandals. Additionally,
control and battery enclosures are both
supplied with hasps for padlocking
securely.
The Control system requires a 120
VAC or 240 VAC 50-60 Hz power
source (model dependent).
Several methods can be used to activate
the Control Unit. The Manual activation
switches can be used to activate the
Control Unit locally. Landline control can
be used through normally open contact
switches. Connections should be made
directly to the motherboard terminal
block. The control can also be remotely
activated via the optional radio receiver or
an external 600 ohm audio source.

series speaker arrays is capable of
causing permanent hearing damage.
Do not install speaker arrays where
persons may come within 150 feet of
