VOCALISER INSTALLATION MANUAL
Page: 2 RINS119-5
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how the Vocaliser is connected to a control panel, how to change the
polarities of both inputs and outputs, NVM reset information and other set up functions.
The Vocaliser provides a means of relaying appropriate speech messages to a set of telephone
numbers on specific alarm activations which correspond to the four inputs on the printed circuit
board.

CHAPTER 3: CONNECTIONS / POWERING UP
3.1 Connecting the Vocaliser to an Alarm panel
The below example shows the Vocaliser being connected to a Sterling 10 control panel – using
the digital communicator outputs: ALM (alarm), PA (Personal Attack), FIRE, and ABT (Abort).
The default input trigger on the Vocaliser is negative applied, but this may need to be changed
depending on the control panel. Please see page: 12.
3.1.1 Power Supply
The Vocaliser requires a supply of 9-16 volts DC. The installer must make certain that the
alarm system power supply is rated to provide adequate power for this apparatus and for other
auxiliary apparatus drawing power from the alarm system power supply.

VOCALISER INSTALLATION MANUAL
Page: 6 RINS119-5
3.2 Initial Power Up
On initial power up the GREEN and ORANGE LEDs will be illuminated, and “Please Wait” will
be heard though the speaker (if connected). After ten seconds both LED’s will flash for a further
three seconds and “On” will be heard through the speaker (if connected).
The ORANGE LED will then flash quickly for another twenty seconds after which you may
access the engineers menu.
If the ORANGE LED stays illuminated the Vocaliser has recognised a line fault. Programming
can still take place at this point though.
3.3 Status LEDs
The Vocaliser has three status LEDs:
There is also a RED LED near the battery terminals, this will only illuminate if a battery is
connected.
RED LED: Indicates that the Vocaliser is dialling a programmed telephone number
GREEN LED: Indicates that a dialling in procedure is being made (remote dial in)
ORANGE LED: Indicates that there is a line fault

3.4 Connecting Microphones
The Vocaliser may have up to 3 number of microphones connected, which will monitor the
premises. This is used when the listening in function is enabled (see the user manual).

3.5 Connecting Speakers
The Vocaliser can have any number of speakers connected, providing it doesn’t exceed
16ohms. This enables the user to speak into the premises and is used in the ‘Talking in’
function (see user manual).

3.6 Connecting The Battery
If the mains power is lost on the Vocaliser, all alarm messages will be erased from memory,
therefore it is useful to connect a battery to the Vocaliser stop this from happening, the battery
will store the messages in the memory for approximately one hour.
A 7.2V NiCad battery is connected to the Vocaliser via the terminals +BAT- as shown below:

3.8 Hand – Over Relay Version
If hand-over relay version is to be installed, it should be wired in series connection method as
shown in the diagram below. A & B may be connected either way round to the 2 core telephone
cable supplied.
Series connection provides a way of cutting off the main apparatus (i.e. other telephones
sharing the same phone line via the secondary jack) whenever the Vocaliser needs to dial out.

NOTE: If the Vocaliser is ever removed from the installation, ensure that the telephone service
continues to be provided to the main apparatus by linking the two wires which were connected
to terminals A and A1, and by separately linking the two wires which were connected to B and
B1.
