Using T-Gen 50 with 4100U-S1, Continued

Fitting an EvacuationControl

An optional three-position control ME0460 (see part numbers in Chapter 1) allows T- GEN 50s to be switched from the front panel between automatic operation, being Isolated, or producing Evacuation tone, regardless of the state of other control inputs.

With the control in the ISOLATE position, the T-GEN 50 will not respond to the ALM- input, or activate its FAULT output if a fault is present.

With the control in the EVAC position, the T-GEN 50 will immediately produce Evacuation tone.

Figure 5-6 shows how to connect an Evacuation Control to a T-GEN 50.

The control can be fitted to an FP0935 or FP0937 4U Brigade Interface door as used in 4100U-S1, or fitted to a 4100-1279 blank display module (requires a 9.5mm hole to be drilled in the display module – the ME0460 includes an installation guide with drilling details). See Figure 5-7 for examples.

Fitting a PA Microphone

The T-GEN 50 can be fitted with a compatible PA microphone, to allow voice announcements via the warning system. ME0490 is a suitable part for the 4100U-S1 (see part numbers in Chapter 1)

A suitable recess or cavity is required for storing the microphone while not in use. The FP0935 and FP0937 4U Brigade doors have a suitable recess. See Figure 5-7 to see how the microphone fits and how its lead is routed inside the cabinet.
