A DFSM microphone subsystem allows the master microphone’s audio output to be directly
routed to all audio system amplifiers in the event of an audio controller or master controller
failure. Activation of the DFSM subsystem is controlled via key switch.
There is no software control of the DFSM subsystem. Programming is limited to defining custom
control equations that annunciate DFSM trouble conditions on the LCD and setting a system
option that indicates the DFSM is installed.
The DFSM subsystem consists of the following components.
A Master DFSM card (standard 4 x 5 card with PDI), located in the audio head end. The
master card amplifies and distributes the master microphone signal to the slave DFSM cards.
(If amplifiers are located in the cabinet in which the DFSM master resides, the master
distributes the microphone signal to those amplifiers as well.)
A DFSM Slave card (standard 4 x 5 card with PDI), located in each transponder cabinet. The
slave is responsible for receiving the amplified microphone signal and distributing it to the
audio amplifier located in the transponder cabinet. Note that a slave card is only used in
systems with more than one node/transponder.
A security key switch (Simplex “B” key), used to activate the DFSM subsystem.
Supervised IAMs, which are used in combination with Custom Control (SMPL) programming
to monitor trouble conditions on the DFSM master and slave cards.
Standard Microphone wired to DFSM card. When the audio system is functioning properly,
microphone input passes through the DFSM card to the audio controller. But in the event a
problem occurs with either the audio controller or master controller, the DFSM system takes
control of the audio amplifiers and microphone output is routed from the DFSM master to the
DFSM slaves. The microphone signal is then distributed to each node’s amplifiers for
distribution to the speakers.
Important Note: The DFSM subsystem uses the PDI’s Audio Riser 2 as its signal path. PDI
bays where the DFSM or DFSM signal is located must not carry any other signal on Riser 2. This
includes Analog Audio Riser 2 and non-alarm audio from a digital audio riser interface card.

Both the master and slave DFSM cards are 4” X 5” cards with a Power Distribution Interface
(PDI) connector on the rear of the card. This section describes mounting these cards in an FACP
bay.
Use the following instructions and the figure below to mount the master DFSM card in an FACP
bay. The master card should be located in a position within the bay that positions the module
directly behind the key switch, which mounts to enclosure as shown in Figure 3 below.
1. Screw two standoffs and washers to the appropriate holes in the back of the cabinet.
These holes must line up with the screw holes in the 4” X 5” card. See Figure 3. The
card can be mounted with the wiring terminals at the top (top PDI row), or with the
terminals at the bottom (bottom PDI row).
2. Plug the 4” X 5” card into the PDI connector.
3. Secure the top of the card to the standoffs with two #6 torx screws and washers.

When set up as a master, the Primary wiring is used to send the DFSM signal to slave DFSM
boards. The Secondary wiring is used as a return if the wiring circuit is Class A. (When in alarm,
the return sends out the same signal as the primary, which allows one open in the wire while
allowing all slaves to function). Earth faults on the wiring are always detected at the master side
cabinet by the local SPS (or RPS). Earth Fault isolation is not supported.

The trouble output is a normally open contact coupled with a supervision resistor that allows the
panel to signal when a DFSM trouble conditions occurs. The contact is wired to a supervised
IAM, located on the back of the key switch, that can sense contact closure.
1. Set the IDNet address for the IAM as described in 574-331.
2. Wire the trouble output (TB2) to the IAM as shown in the figure below. Leave the 6.8K EOL
on TB2.
3. Mount the IAM to the mounting bracket on the master or slave card. The IAM snaps into the
bracket.

DO NOT install a 4100-1265 or 4100-1269 DFSM module in the same bay with an Analog Audio
Controller Module (or any module that would control Channel 2 of the PDI). Both modules would
unsuccessfully try to control the PDI’s Channel 2.
If the modules must co-exist in the same box, then they must reside in separate bays, and have an
audio harness connecting them without Channel 2 connections being made. The connecting audio
harness may be a modified harness (734-167) available from the factory or a standard audio
harness (734-052) that you modify as shown in Figure 9. Figure 9 shows two wires on the left that
are cut close to the connector and discarded. The two cut wires were formerly connected to Pins 3
& 6 of the PDI audio connector. After cutting the wires, the remaining stubs must be insulated
with UL-listed electrical tape.

Custom Control equations (SMPL) are used to monitor the state of the IAM contact and generate a
trouble condition on the front panel annunciator if the contact is closed (i.e., a trouble exists).
The DFSM monitors for the following trouble conditions. Each condition corresponds to an LED
indicator on the card.
DFSM Switch Input. An open circuit on the wiring between TB3 and the key switch causes
a trouble. A short on this circuit is interpreted as switch closure and activates the DFSM.
NAC. An open circuit or a short circuit on the primary or secondary wiring connecting the
master with the slaves causes a trouble.
Power Stage. The entire audio path is supplied a constant AC signal that allows the DFSM
to monitor the audio path and ensure that all components of the audio path are working
correctly.
DFSM ON. Indicates the DFSM is active, and does not indicate a problem with the card.
1. In the FACP programmer, open the job for the panel containing the DFSM card. Locate the
IDNet point associated with the hardware address set on the IAM. Assign the point a Device
Type of IAM and a Point Type of UTILITY.
In the Custom Label field, enter a descriptive label that will indicate that a problem has
occurred with either the IAM or the wiring running between the IAM and the DFSM Trouble
contacts. For example “DFSM IAM or IAM Wiring Trouble”. This label appears on the
front panel LCD and the panel’s trouble LED illuminates only if the IAM fails or an Open
occurs on the wiring running between the IAM and the DFSM trouble contacts.
2. Select a user-defined pseudo point (P512 or higher), and assign it a Trouble Point Type. In the
Custom Label field, enter a descriptive label that will indicate that a DFSM-specific trouble
has occurred. For example, “DFSM -- NAC, Power Stage, or Switch Trouble.” (If this
trouble is displayed on the front panel, check the LED on the DFSM to determine the specific
trouble that has occurred.)
3. Create Custom Control to monitor the state of the IAM and track on the trouble pseudo point
if the IAM turns on (i.e., the Trouble Contacts close). In the following example, M-1-1-0
represents the address configured for the IAM. The actual IDNet point name will reflect the
physical address set on the IAM. In the OUT portion of the equation, P512 is the example
trouble pseudo defined in Step 2 above.
IN:
M1-1-0 ON
OUT:
TRACK P512 ON PRI=9,9 ; Turn on trouble pseudo
