Notifier XPIQ User Manual

Overview Product Description
XPIQ PN 51013:C 7/01/03 9
1.1 Overview
Designed for flexibility, future enhancements and expansion, the XPIQ utilizes modular plug-in
boards, which simplify installation and maintenance in a cost-effective manner.
The XPIQ transponder consists of the chassis mounted XPIQ-MB motherboard which provides
connectors for an audio interface board, a signaling line interface board, a microphone interface
board, up to four audio amplifier boards and a Class A speaker zone converter board. A power
supply/battery charger, which connects via cables to the motherboard, is also part of the basic
system.
The transponder, when utilizing an XPIQ-AIB1/4 Audio Interface Board, accepts low-level analog
audio signals as generated by the Notifier
®
Audio Message Generator (AMG-1/E). The XPIQ-MB
provides up to four telephone zones connected to FFT-7 Firefighter Telephones. As an alternative,
these four zone circuits can be utilized as NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits) powered from a
separate power supply.
The configuration of the XPIQ system is accomplished with the help of PK-XPIQ software
installed on a user supplied PC. The configuration data is then downloaded to the motherboard via
the serial communication port (EIA-232) and programming cable.
