The visual indicator is wired to JP3 for activation and powering.

If controlling an external device, use JP6 to control an external relay to control the
device.
The Informer15 Speaker has one independently programmable open collector output
that can be used to control a suitably listed external relay. The open collector/relay
output timing is configured and programmed into the Informer15 Speaker from the
Commander user interface.
The open collector/relay output is capable of controlling an external device. The open
collector and +24 Vdc are located at pins 1 and 2 of the removable output connector
JP6 on the PC board.
The output for controlling an external relay is limited to 30 Vdc and 100 mA maximum.
The speaker provides a 24 Vdc source to power relays or devices that require a
current draw of less than 20 mA. If a relay is used, which requires up to 100 mA, an
external 24 Vdc supply is required. Do not exceed the voltage and current ratings
listed in the Specifications section of this manual. When using this feature, the open
collector/relay outputs turn on until one of the following occurs:
• The programmed default timeout occurs
• The CANCEL or RESET command is received
You can configure the open collector/relay output to open, close, and cycle based on
a pre-programmed sequence. The open collector/relay output can also be configured
to turn on when PA VOIP is active. See the Programming section on page 18 to
learn how to set up, configure, program, and use Informer-IP devices.
5.
If using a scrolling message board, use JP11.
6.
If using in standalone mode (not connected to Ethernet network), install a shorting
jumper on JP8. See the following instructions.
Standalone mode allows the Informer15 Speaker to be activated from the Alarm
Initiation Inputs without being connected to a network. The Informer15 requires setup
before placing it into standalone mode. Perform all configurations prior to installing.
Once the unit is configured and tested, place a shorting jumper across pins 1 and 2
of JP8, OPTION 1. To configure the Informer15 Speaker, use Commander software
version 15.4 or later. See the Programming section on page 18 to learn how to set
up, configure, program, and use Informer-IP devices.
