Safety Messages

It is important to follow all instructions shipped with this product. This device is to be

installed by trained personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the country’s electric

codes and will follow these guidelines as well as local codes and ordinances, including

any state or local noise-control ordinances.

Planning

• If suitable warning equipment is not selected, the installation site for the RF100 is

not selected properly, or the RF100 is not installed properly, it may not produce the

intended optimum audible warning. Follow Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA) recommendations.

• If RF100 are not activated in a timely manner when an emergency condition

exists, they cannot provide the intended audible warning. It is imperative that

knowledgeable people, who are provided with the necessary information, be

available at all times to authorize activation.

• When RF100s are used out of doors, people indoors may not be able to hear the

warning signals. Separate warning devices or procedures may be needed to warn

people indoors eectively.

• The sound output of sirens is capable of causing permanent hearing damage. To

prevent excessive exposure, carefully plan siren placement, post warnings, and

restrict access to areas near sirens. Review and comply with any local or state noise

control ordinances as well as OSHA noise exposure regulations and guidelines.

• Activating the RF100 may not result in people taking the desired actions if those to be

warned are not properly trained about the meaning of warning sounds. Users should

follow FEMA recommendations and instruct those to be warned of corrective actions

to be taken.

After installation, service, or maintenance, test the system to conﬁrm that it is operating

properly. Test the system regularly to conﬁrm that it will be operational in an emergency.

Safety Messages to Installers

People’s lives depend on your safe installation of our products. It is important to follow

all instructions shipped with this product. This device is to be installed by a trained

electrician who is thoroughly familiar with the National Electrical Code and/or Canadian

Electrical Code and will follow the NEC and/or CEC Guidelines as well as all local codes.

This RF100 should be considered a part of the warning system and not the entire warning

system.

The selection of the mounting location for this RF100, its controls, and the routing of the

wiring is to be accomplished under the Facilities Engineer and the Safety Engineer’s

direction. Listed below are some other important safety instructions and precautions you

should follow:

• Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when performing various

installation and service functions such as making electrical connections, drilling

holes, or lifting equipment. Therefore, only experienced electricians should install this

product per national, state, and any other electrical codes having jurisdiction. Perform

all work under the direction of the installation or service crew safety foreman.

Safety Messages

Description, Specications, Conguration, and Installation Manual

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

• Read and understand all instructions before installing, operating, or servicing this

equipment.

• This product shall be mounted at a minimum hearing distance of ten feet per FEMA

guidelines limiting sound level exposure to 123 dBc maximum sound level.

• All eective warning sounds may, in certain circumstances, cause permanent

hearing loss. Take appropriate precautions, such as wearing hearing protection. The

maximum sound level exposure limits speciﬁed in OSHA 29 CFR 1910 should not be

exceeded.

• These devices are intended for permanent installation and operation per Title 46,

Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 110–113, or Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations,

Part 183, Subpart I, Section 183.410, and the applicable requirements of the American

Boat and Yacht Council, Inc., and/or ANSI/NFPA 302, “Fire Protection Standard for

Pleasure and Commercial Motor Craft.”

• For optimum sound distribution, do not install this speaker where objects would block

any portion of the front of the RF100.

• Do not paint the RF100. No ﬁnish or coating is required. Paint may obstruct the sound

output, reducing the eectiveness of the horn.

• Establish a procedure to check the signal system for proper activation and operation

routinely.

• Any maintenance to the unit MUST be performed by a trained electrician per NEC

Guidelines and local codes or a Federal Signal certiﬁed Service Provider.

• Never alter the unit in any manner.

• The nameplate should NOT be obscured, as it contains cautionary and/or other

information of importance to maintenance personnel.

• After installation and completion of the initial system test, provide a copy of these

instructions to all personnel responsible for the operation, periodic testing, and

maintenance of the equipment.

• File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining and/or

reinstalling the device.

Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage,

serious injury, or death.

Installation and Service

• After installation or service, test the system to conﬁrm that it is operating properly.

Test the system regularly to conﬁrm that it will be operational in an emergency.

• If future service and operating personnel do not have these instructions to refer to,

the system may not provide the intended audible warning, and service personnel

may be exposed to death, permanent hearing loss, or other bodily injuries. File

these instructions in a safe place and refer to them periodically. Give a copy of these

instructions to recruits and trainees. Also give a copy to anyone who is going to

service or repair the RF100.

General Description

Introduction

The UltraVoice®Compact Siren/Speaker (model RF100) is an outdoor or indoor

RF-enabled high-powered speaker with an integral controller and radio. The RF100 is part

of Federal Signal’s UltraVoice series of products. Use the RF100 as a warning and alerting

device with both audible and visual indicators. The audible capabilities include locally

stored, high-quality, high-powered tones, pre-recorded voice messages, and live PA. The

visual indicators include the use of strobes and lights. Equip the RF100 with up to four

local initiation devices (switches) to activate the unit locally.

The RF100 is equipped with either a VHF or UHF two-way radio. The two-way radio allows

for conﬁguring the controller, activating the speaker, or polling for supervision. The radio

and controller can accept single tone, two-tone, DTMF, EAS, and Federal Signal MSK

digital for speaker communications. Using Federal Signal MSK digital provides a secure

communications channel.

The RF100 has an internal 100-watt ampliﬁer/driver to deliver tone warnings and

intelligible voice messages from RF100 stored memory. The RF100 has remote volume

control for optimizing sound levels across your alerting area. The remote volume control

also includes an ambient noise monitoring capability to automatically adjust the volume

depending on external noise levels.

The RF100 is powered from either 120/240 Vac or 24 Vdc. When the RF100 is powered

from AC, there are four solid-state relay outputs to activate AC-powered visual alert

devices. When the RF100 is powered from DC, there is a DC solid-state relay output. The

RF100 has a 1/2-inch NPT opening on the top of the speaker for simple installation of

pipe mount devices such as strobes. The bottom of the speaker has three 3/4-inch NPT

openings to allow access to power, relay outputs, and activation inputs. The rear cover

also includes an N-type connection for the external RF antenna. Use the Commander®

software system to conﬁgure the speaker for speciﬁc alerts and the outputs for strobe or

visual devices.

The RF100 comes with an adjustable stainless steel wall mount bracket that allows the

angle of the speaker to be adjusted. Optional pole mount brackets are available for small

and large diameter poles.

Features

The RF100 has the following features; some features require the use of the Commander®

software system:

• Compact, self-contained siren/speaker

• High-powered outdoor or indoor RF-enabled speaker for audible and visual alerts

• Equipped with integrated UHF or VHF two-way radio with an external antenna

connection

• Small size with rugged NEMA4X construction

• Speaker rated at 120 dBa for tones and 114.5 dBa for voice at 10 feet

• Seven standard built-in warning signals: Wail, Steady, Alternate Wail, Alternate Steady,

Pulsed Wail, Pulsed Steady, Auxiliary Chime
