Introduction
Thank you for using our products. Use this product according to this instruction manual.
Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
The SP4 –LOC Remote Microphone and Local Operator Console is designed to be used
with the Facility Communications System using the SafePath4 SP40/2 and the SP40S
panels. It contains the SafePath4 SPRM Remote Microphone Module and eight black
Push On /Push Off buttons which provide a contact closure to activate the SP40/2 or the
SP40S digital messages in the Push On position. These buttons change color from black
in the OFF position to green in the ON position. A message name plate holder is located
above the pushbuttons. An optional red mushroom type, cutoff pushbutton is available for
HVAC emergency shutoff.
The Remote Microphone (SPRM) incorporates a Push-To-Talk (PTT) microphone and
system status LED indicators. The SPRM provides a microphone override for any tone
generation, digital voice module prerecorded message, background music, or telephone
paging. It is equipped with a keyed lock that, when activated allows the use of the
module. The key can not be removable in the ON position. The SPRM is fully supervised
from the SP40/2 or SP40S panel and contains front panel LED’s for remote indications of
System Normal, System Trouble and Alarm conditions. Voice frequency response shall
be 275 Hz - -6.5 kHz +/- 2.4 dB. Power requirements shall be 24VDC and will be
supplied by the SP40/2 or SP40S. Input current for standby mode shall be 26mA and
38mA in the alarm mode. Shielded 6-wire cable shall be used. Approvals for the system
shall include; UL Standard 864, UL Standard 1711, FCC Part 15, and CSFM. The panel
shall be OSHA 1910.165 and ADA compliant
The SP4-LOC is available in two models. The flush mount model has a 1/2 inch skirt
around the door section, while the surface mount model door section is flush with the
back box. Both models use the same white 4 inch deep backbox with three 1/2 inch/ 3/4
inch double knockouts, one each in the back center, and top and bottom of the backbox.
The flush mount door section has exterior dimensions of 15-1/2 inches wide and 16-1/4
inches high. The surface mount model has dimensions of 14-1/2 inches wide, 15-1/2
inches high and 4 inches deep. Both models have a pull slam latch to open the continuous
hinged door. Both models are available in white.
The SP4-LOC can be installed up to 2,000 feet from the SP40/2 or SP40S panel using 14-
18 AWG wiring. Shielded wire is only required for the 1Vrms output from the SPRM.

2. Mount the backbox assembly. See Figure 3 for mounting holes. Insure that the
orientation label inside the backbox is pointing “UP” and that the studs for mounting
the terminal block are on the left side.
NOTE: All mounting holes are laser cut as knockouts. Punch out the holes required for
either flush or surface mounting.

3. Connect conduit fittings to the desired cable knockouts, and run the appropriate
pushbutton and SPRM wiring into the backbox.
If the optional HVAC pushbutton is installed, run the HVAC wiring through a separate
conduit away from the push button and remote microphone wiring. This will prevent
electrical interference and false troubles from appearing on the SP40S.
NOTE: If the SP4-LOC is being flush mounted and finish work on the location has to be
completed, stop here and complete the work before connecting and mounting the
inner and outer doors.

Installing and Wiring the Inner Door
4. Place the terminal block with the wire harness pointing down, onto the terminal block
studs.
5. Connect the wire tie around the harness and to the bottom terminal block stud.
6. Using the washers and nuts, fasten the terminal block to the backbox..
7. If applicable, mount and wire the optional HVAC Emergency Shutoff pushbutton.
8. Connect the pushbutton wiring to the terminal block as shown in Figure 4 (SP40/2) and
Figure 5 (SP40S).

NOTE: The SP40S inputs can be supervised by placing a 10K Ohm resistor across each
pair of input terminals on the SP4-LOC terminal block and by switching ON the
DIP switches on switch block SW7 positions 1 through 8.
9. Connect the SPRM to the SP40. Figure 6 shows the proper wiring connections for the
SPRM to the SP40/2. Figure 7 shows the proper wiring connections for the SPRM to
the SP40S.
