The Simplex 2001-6030 Microphone and Enclosure Module is a crucial component of the 2001 Voice Communications System, designed to facilitate the transmission of voice messages through the system's speakers. This module integrates a microphone, an enclosure, and provisions for two daughter cards: the oscillator control module and the trouble control module.
Function Description:
The primary function of the 2001-6030 module is to enable voice communication within a fire alarm system. When the microphone's "Push-to-Talk" switch is activated, it temporarily deactivates other audio sources like the tape player and music, as well as all oscillators. This action allows the output signals from the microphone's voice coil cartridge to be transmitted to the 6055 Mike Interface Module, which is located at the system's main panel. This ensures that live voice messages take precedence during an emergency or for general announcements.
The module's operation is governed by specific conditions:
- Normal Condition: When the microphone switch is in its released (off) position, any output signals from the voice coil cartridge are shunted through the S1 contacts of the switch. This prevents unintended audio transmission.
- Transmit Condition (Microphone Operation): To transmit a voice message in normal system conditions, the user must first remove the microphone from the panel. Then, the OSC STOP switch needs to be set to the "up" position, which inhibits all oscillators and music. Next, either the ALL CIRCUITS switch or specific SPKR CKT switches must be set to the "up" position to activate all or selected system speakers. Finally, pressing the microphone switch initiates voice transmission. This action closes switch S2, sending a -OV signal to Pin P2-1, which energizes relay K1 on the mike interface, causing its contacts (K1A and K1B) to transfer. A +V signal is then sent from TB1-5 (on the mike interface) to the 6053 Supervised Remote Interface Module. Simultaneously, switch S1 opens, allowing the voice coil cartridge's output signals to be fed to TB1-1 and TB1-2 (on the mike interface) via the K1A and K1B Interface Module at the control panel. The procedure is reversed to end transmission. In an alarm condition, steps 2 and 3 (inhibiting oscillators and selecting speakers) can be omitted as the system is already in an alert state.
The 2001-6037 Remote Microphone and Enclosure Module functions similarly, providing remote voice message transmission. It also includes positions for a remote oscillator control module and a remote trouble control module. In its normal state, the microphone switch is released, and voice coil cartridge signals are shunted through S1. Relay K1 on the mike interface is de-energized, while the supervisory relay K1 on the remote enclosure module is energized.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Electrical Hazard: The device operates with electrical power, and caution is advised. Disconnect electrical power before making any internal adjustments or repairs. Installation and servicing must be performed by qualified Simplex Representatives.
- Microphone Interface: The microphone connects to the system via a voice coil cartridge and a "Push-to-Talk" switch.
- Relay K1: This relay plays a critical role in both local and remote microphone modules. In the 2001-6030, when the microphone switch is pressed, S2 closes, sending -OV to P2-1, energizing K1 on the mike interface, and causing K1A and K1B contacts to transfer. A +V signal is then sent from TB1-5 to the 6053 Supervised Remote Interface Module. In the 2001-6037, K1 on the mike interface is de-energized in normal conditions, while the supervisory relay K1 on the remote enclosure module is energized.
- Supervisory Function: The system incorporates supervisory features. In the 2001-6037, if power is lost, relay K1 on the remote enclosure module de-energizes, and its contacts transfer to shunt out a supervisory resistor. This action illuminates the 6053 Supervised Remote Interface Module TBL LED, indicating a trouble condition at the system panel.

Tone Oscillator Modules Description:
The 2001 Voice Communications System also utilizes tone oscillator modules to generate audio-frequency signals. These modules produce specific tones that are amplified and fed to the system's speakers. The available tone oscillator modules include:
- 2001-6032: Slow Whoop (tone ascends from 200 to 830 Hz in 2.5 seconds).
- 2001-6033: Wail (tone ascends and descends from 600 to 900 Hz).
- 2001-6034: Beep (470-Hz tone).
- 2001-6035: Horn (continuous 470-Hz tone).
- 2001-6036: Stutter (470-Hz tone, .001 seconds on and .001 seconds off).
- 2001-6051: Chime (700-Hz tone with a 1.5-second delay time).
- 2001-6052: Coded Horn (pulsing 470-Hz tone).
- 2001-6057: Hi/Lo (554-Hz hi tone and 550-Hz lo tone. Hi tone on 100 ms and lo tone on 400 ms).
These positions on the audio control module are dedicated to the oscillator modules. The system supports two alarm oscillators (required) and two auxiliary oscillators (optional).
Tone Oscillator Module Function:
- Normal Condition: Under normal conditions, the alarm oscillators run continuously, and the auxiliary oscillators are off. All oscillators are automatically controlled by the audio control module or manually by switches on the oscillator control switch module.
- Power Supply: The operating voltage for the tone oscillators is fed to pins PC1 (+12V) and PC3 (-0V). The oscillator's circuitry generates an audio frequency signal and sends it out PC2 for preamplification. When -0V is fed to pin PC1, the oscillator stops generating its frequency (OSC stop).
- Interconnection: When two oscillator modules are interconnected at pin PC7 (as is the case with alarm oscillators 1 and 2 when no tape player is used), their tone signals are synchronized, or a trouble condition will occur.
