Overview

The **Federal Signal IS-I-IP15X-R** is a standalone Informer15 hazardous location indicator designed for Class I, Division 2, Groups A-D or Zone 2 environments. Powered via PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus), it eliminates separate power supplies, reducing wiring complexity and maintenance. The bright red LED provides immediate visual status feedback for safety-critical applications. Key specifications include a compact standalone design optimized for tight spaces and retrofit installations. Certified for hazardous locations, it withstands extreme temperatures, humidity, vibrations, and corrosive atmospheres. Typical applications include oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, manufacturing sites, wastewater treatment plants, and mining operations where visual hazard indicators are required. The PoE+ interface enables plug-and-play installation using standard Ethernet infrastructure, compatible with most industrial networks and SCADA systems. Its rugged enclosure meets stringent safety standards for use in flammable gas, vapor, or combustible dust environments. The small footprint allows wall-mounting, pole-mounting, or integration into existing enclosures without compromising space.

How to Install the Informer15 Speaker (Model IS-I-IP15 Series C)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the Informer15 Speaker for effective audible and visual alerts.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Ethernet cable (for PoE model), 24 Vdc power supply (for 24 Vdc model)

  1. Mount the Speaker

    Select a suitable mounting location and secure the speaker to the surface using #10 screws. Ensure the speaker is level and free from obstructions.

  2. Open the Housing

    Loosen the two cover screws on the speaker housing and carefully remove the visual indicator cable to access the internal components.

  3. Connect Power and Network

    For the PoE model, connect the Ethernet cable to the J1 port on the PoE board. For the 24 Vdc model, connect the 24 Vdc power input to JP2 on the power input board.

  4. Wire the Controller Board

    Connect the microSD card to JP13 for tone and message input. Use JP2 for local activations by connecting normally open switches to the inputs.

  5. Close the Housing

    Reattach the visual indicator cable and secure the housing cover by tightening the screws. Ensure all connections are secure.
