2. Cautions and Warnings
The following are specific Cautions and Warnings that must be followed when installing or
operating equipment.
Please read all instructions before attempting to install any equipment. Failure to
follow directions can cause bodily injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Ensure that precautionary measures are employed to prevent applying power to
equipment at any time maintenance work is in progress.
Do not make any unauthorized alterations to equipment or components. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Cooper Notification can result in damage
to the equipment and will void the warranty.
When working near electricity do not use metal rules, flashlights, metallic pencils, or
any other object having exposed conducting material.

3. Introduction
The IPC-8000 is an IP based node utilizing inputs, and outputs. The IPC-8000 sends and
receives IP streamed audio to end nodes and provides inputs, outputs, and serial RS-232
connections to external devices. Additionally, the IPC-8000 has the ability to interface with
the (optional) RADIO-900M to enable wireless IP functionality within the network.
It is recommended that an (optional) UPS-901 be connected to the IPC-8000 to provide
battery backup during an AC power failure for all applications except the ACU-8411
configuration.
4. Requirements
IPC-8000 Enclosure, including:
Enclosure Assembly and associated hardware
IP Communicator (IPC); pre-installed in the IPC-8000 enclosure
IPC to TB1 AC Power Cable Assembly, PN S40-00267
IPC to TB2 Cable Assembly, PN S40-00299
Additional required equipment and hardware for installation of the IPC-8000 shall be
determined by the Installer based on the placement of the Unit and the construction of
the wall material.
Appropriate Installation Instructions and Manuals as listed in Table 1.
(Optional) UPS-901 Battery Backup
(Optional) RADIO-900M
(Optional) ACU-8411

must be configured with either a UPS-901 or an external Backup Generator.
When the IPC-8000 is configured in an ACU-8411 configuration, the
maximum distance between the IPC-8000 enclosure and the ACU-8411 is 24
ft. (7.32 m); a 25 ft. cable is provided with the ACU-8411.
When the IPC-8000 is configured in an ACU-8411 configuration, DC backup
power for the IPC in the IPC-8000 is supplied from the SP40S; therefore an
optional UPS is not necessary.

6.2.1 Enclosure Penetrations
All fittings, conduit hubs, and wiring glands must be UL, CSA, or EU approved/listed.
Pre-cut penetration holes are available on the IPC-8000. However, when routing cables or cutting
alternate penetration holes, take care to consider any optional equipment to be installed into the IPC-
8000 enclosure. Optional equipment may cover or impair the routing of cables.
Refer to Figure 3 for the location of available penetration hole locations on the left-side, right-side
and top of the enclosure. The inner diameter of all penetration holes is 0.88 inches (22.35 mm).
Refer to Table 3 for conduit hole size and flat surface area requirements.

Follow the steps below to install and connect the AC Power cable.
1. Ensure the AC power source is off.
2. Route the external AC power cable into the IPC-8000 enclosure. Allow ample slack
in the cable to properly route and terminate all wires to the AC Terminal Board.
3. Terminate the external AC power cord to TB1 inside of the enclosure as shown in
Figure 4, as follows:
Line
Neutral
Ground
4. Connect the other end of the AC power cable to an AC power source.
BEFORE CONNECTING AC POWER, ENSURE THE POWER SWITCH IS IN
THE OFF POSITION AND THE AC POWER SOURCE HAS BEEN POWERED
DOWN. FAILURE TO TURN OFF THE POWER MAY RESULT IN SHOCK TO
PERSONNEL AND POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

EXTERNAL SOURCE CONTROL
Connecting an External Source to an IPC-8000
WAVES 8 can interface with external audio systems (such as a local PA system or FACP)
and allow the external source to broadcast its message thru the WAVES system. The External
Source’s audio is converted to digital audio by the associated External Audio Source IP,
located in the IPC-8000, and sent out to the IPC network. Refer to the WAVES 8
Administrator Manual for configuration of the IPC and details regarding the operation and
sequence of events for connecting to an External Source.
The connectivity path between the External Source and the designated WAVES IPC-8000 IPC is
shown below in Error! Reference source not found..

The connections listed below must be made between the External Source and the IPC located
inside the IPC-8000. Refer to the IPC-8000 Installation Instructions, P10-00059 for additional
details.
For External Source control operations,the IPC J2 pin 8 wire must be connected inside the
IPC-8000 as follows:
1. Inside the IPC-8000, locate W-4, the single -wire cable connected on one end to TB-2 and
the other end is tied back, not connected.
2. Insert the wire into the IPC J2 connector, Pin 8.
Request/PTTInput - the External Source is required to provide a “Request” to WAVES
by sending a contact closure to the designated External Source IPC as follows:
oPTT Input, J3 pin 5 (In)
oPTT Ground, J3 pin 4 (Ground)
oDigital Input #1, J2 pin 8 (In)
oDigital Input #1, J2 pin 3 (Common)
Line Level Audio - a connection from the External Source providing Line Level Audio; 1.4
VRMS Input to the IPC will provide maximum output power to the network:
oLine Level (-), J3 pin 23
oLine Level (+), J3 pin 24
Grant - a contact closure from WAVES back to the External Source indicating that
control has been granted
oIPC Relay 1, pin 3 (NO)
oIPC Relay 1, pin 4 (Common)
Server Connection - a contact closure from WAVES, indicating the IPC has a
connection to the Server

VOICE OPERATING SWITCH (VOX)
VOX Connections to the IPC-8000
The IPC located inside the IPC-8000 can be connected to an external system (such as an FACP or
paging system) intended to receive audio from WAVES, are available for configuration using the
VOX Operating mode. Associated scripts for VOX IPCs will include the “Play”, “PlayAudioSource”
commands. Refer to the WAVES 8 Administrator Manual for configuration of the IPC and
details regarding the operation and sequence of events for connecting the VOX feature.
When an IPC is configured for the VOX Operating mode, Relay #1 is automatically dedicated for
PTT operation. In VOX Mode, Relay #1 will activate when audio is playing and deactivate when
audio is not playing to the Node. If audio from WAVES to the VOX IPC is lost, PTT Relay #1 will
automatically return to the normal state.
Connectivity between the IPC-8000 VOX IPC and the External System is shown in Figure 9.
