Radio Informer
Alerting the public of an emergency situation is now easier and more reliable than ever with Federal Signal’s Informer I-HIO and I-UIO radio receivers. Informer units are designed for one-way radio alerting applications.
Informer Radio receivers come in either VHF or UHF-band models. Standard units decode DTMF, single-tone, and two-tone sequential signals (optionally available are units for decoding EAS/SAME or Federal Signal digital protocols). The Informer is capable of generating four separate alarm sounds that can be accompanied by a live voice message.
Informer units include an LED panel that flashes to immediately indicate transmission of an emergency alert. Other features include a 600-Ohm audio output, dual (N.C./N.O.) relay for external control, built-in diagnostics, and an LED test indicator. The receiver can be programmed to disable the"monitor" button in order to prevent end-users or unauthorized persons from listening to local-channel activity.
The Informer I-HIO and I-UIO desktop versions feature an external AC transformer for power, as well as built-in battery backup. All wiring is routed to connectors located on the back of the unit for convenient access.
Informer I-HIOW and I-UIOW receivers are designed to be wall mounted or recessed into the wall. All wiring is contained within the aluminum case, and five pre-punched, easy-to-remove conduit holes are available to facilitate wiring connections into and out of the unit. Informer I-HIOW and I-UIOW receivers include an 115/230VAC power supply pre-wired to internal terminal blocks and a built-in battery backup. These models feature mounting holes for easy top mounting of an optional Federal Signal LP1 Strobe light. Units are pre-wired to accommodate the LP1 Strobe which operates off the Informer’s internal power supply.

Informer-IP
Federal Signal’s longstanding Informer is now IP-enabled. The Informer-IP can be used as a warning device, a two-way intercom and an alarm initiation point that connects to an Ethernet network on the SmartMsg platform.
The Informer-IP’s internal speaker and microphone provide clear two-way intercom voice communications. Incoming warnings and alerts can be live voice, text-to-speech, pre-recorded messages or tone files. Up to six different predefined alert events can be triggered from the Informer-IP — two from the device and four from the key FOB. Alert messages initiated from the Informer-IP or key FOB can be sent to emergency personnel via email, SMS, computer pop-up, phone, handheld radios; and can also be used to activate other Informer units and sirens.
The Informer-IP features an audio output for connecting public address systems, two relay outputs for controlling strobes or other devices, and an RD232 port for driving a scrolling message display in order for the same message that is heard over the speaker to simultaneously be viewed on the display. The Informer-IP provides the same tone and voice alerts available with Federal Signal’s UltraVoice™ outdoor siren controllers for seamless indoor and outdoor mass notification.
The Informer-IP I-IP-IO model is designed for desktop use. Power options include an external AC transformer or PoE (Power over Ethernet). All wiring runs to accessible connectors on the back of the unit for quick and easy installation. Also available is the Informer-IPW, which is designed to be wall mounted or recessed into the wall. All wiring is contained within the aluminum case and five pre-punched, easy-to-remove conduit holes are available to facilitate wiring connections into and out of the unit. The case has top mounting holes and is pre-wired for the LP1 strobe option.
Schools, hospitals, police and fire stations, government facilities and industrial plants will find that the Informer-IP provides an unmatched value for their indoor alerting and notification needs.

UVIC UltraVoice® Indoor Controller
The Federal Signal UltraVoice® Indoor Controller (UVIC) is a remote terminal unit (RTU) specifically engineered for indoor mass notification. The combination of microprocessor based system control with highly efficient amplifiers enables the delivery of optimized tones and voice to distributed speakers, or to existing public address (PA) systems.
The UVIC has been uniquely designed for high quality live or voice recorded reproduction. The UVIC also offers the unique capability for an operator to record and broadcast urgent message notifications. Unlike any controller available today, the sound output levels can be easily regulated using our distinctive PC-based Dynamic Volume Control feature, helping to optimize indoor audible alerts and notifications. A digital voice option can be added by plugging in a single mini SD card which can store up to 250 messages with 17 hours of audio.
Applications
- Status monitoring
- Siren and Informer activation
- In-home alert

UVRI Ultravoice® Remote Interface
The Federal Signal UltraVoice Remote Interface (UVRI) unit is a remote terminal unit (RTU), specifically designed to provide remote control and status monitoring of an individual building's fire alarm panel, mass notification panel, or public address system. The UVRI establishes a communication link between an isolated building unit and its mass notification system into our Federal Commander Digital Control System, creating a fully integrated indoor and outdoor mass notification system.
The UVRI's primary application is to provide a communication bridge to allow a public safety official or anti-terrorism officer the ability to expand their alerting and notification capabilities into a municipal wide, campus, wide, or base wide notification system solution. In addition, the UVRI also provides the added flexible capability to interface self-amplified speakers and create additional notification directly from the UVRI unit itself.
The UVRI design is based on the field-proven UltraVoice product line, which includes our UltraVoice Controller and UVIC products. As with all of our UltraVoice products, the UVRI includes as a standard feature an eight-minute digital voice chip. The UVRI also offers the unique capability for a remote operator to record and broadcast urgent message notifications. When local control and activations are required the UVRI provides an easy to use local user interface with local push button control for 7 control functions and a local microphone input for live voice announcements. The UVRI is housed in a non-metallic indoor/outdoor NEMA 4X/UL50 rated enclosure.
The UVRI is a two-way digital communication unit, which in its standard configuration includes a Motorola® CDM750 transceiver for wireless communication back to the Federal Commander Digital System. However, the UVRI all supports a variety of other communication mediums including: landline, ethernet, and satellite. The UVRI utilizes secure digital data transfer methods via 128 bit encryption to ensure no malicious or accidental operation of the system. Our two-way status monitoring provides information on the following conditions: AC power, battery voltage, enclosure intrusion, charger, local activation, and remote system operation.
Applications
- Campus
- Military
- Healthcare
- Industrial
- Government buildings
