IP Communications
Benefits to IP Communication
Only one means of communication is required
Keeps the digital signal from the FACP digital. Dialers are
analog so when using a dialer message has to be
converted to analog to be properly transmitted.
The cloud provides multiple paths for information to move.
There is no signal point of failure once inside the cloud.
The error detection and correction process ensures the right
message is received at the monitoring station.
The speed of the internet allows the signal to be delivered almost
instantly.
Loss of communication between FACP and supervising station is
known within 90 seconds.

For Configuring a system the main required is the
operation of the system:
System configuration
Single Channel vs. Dual Channel Operation
Single Channel:
A specific signal or page to a
predetermined area or areas
Dual Channel
Simultaneously broadcast two different
audio signals (tones or messages) to different
areas or floors

Operating Parameters
Type of Circuit Supervision:
Class A, Class B, A/B circuits
Load per circuit
Determines the DP amplifier size
If not evenly distributed, individually specified
Recommendations:
small rooms .25 watt speaker, larger rooms .5 to 1W
open areas 1 watt per 2000 Sq.. ft.
corridor speakers 1/2 to 1 Watts per speaker
System configuration
Operating Parameters
Amplifier Load:
The speaker wattage and number of speaker circuits
determine the amplifier size.
Distribute the load evenly (50w max/ckt).
Recommendation:
Design a system at 80% to 90% of the amplifier capacity
only. This allows for future expansion.
Some projects specify % capacity of amplifiers.
50 watt @ 80% = 40 watts
Amplifiers can be used at 100%

Average load on floors 1-8 is 12W, with basement at 2W and penthouse

The 20 circuits mandate 32 switch points. Because of the total load requirement, (1) 100W and (1)
