TWISTER EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM USERS MANUAL COPYRIGHT 1996,1997,1998 CADCO SYSTEMS, INC. 2363 MERRITT DRIVE GARLAND, TEXAS, 75041 972-271-3651 Table of Contents Table of Contents 1.0 Description 2.0 Theory of Operation 3.0 Front Panel Menus 4.0 Appendix A Block Diagram 5.0 Appendix B EAS Protocol 10 Description 1.0 Description 1.1 Introduction Cadco Systems' Twister Emergency Alert System (TEAS) is designed to provide the user with a simple, low cost, quality solution to the FCC requirement to monitor two audio sources for local, state, and national emergency messages. Cadco has a long history of developing and marketing alert systems. Cadco played a leading role in developing the previous generation of alerting equipment, called the Civil Emergency Alert System (CEAS). Using the knowledge gained from our experience serving our customers alerting needs, Cadco has designed the TEAS to fulfill CFR 47, Part 11 requirements while giving the user the functionality necessary to meet local and regional needsi 1.1 Overview The TEAS EAS messages may be transmitted through several sources. The TEAS uses a front panel LCD and associated keypad to provide easy to use password protected menus for user/site specific input, alert statusing> message sequencing, and alert activation. The TEAS monitors two assigned audio inputs. Either the internal National Weather Service Receiver and the internal broadcast band FM Receiver may be used for monitoring assignments or any other two audio sources may be connected to the rear panel and used in lieu of the internal receivers. Local and state emergency procedures determine which audio sources to monitor. EAS messages are received through the audio inputs, public switched telephone interface, or serial port. The received audio FSK tones are converted to digital form using a FSK Decoder. The transmitted digital signals representing the EAS codes are converted to analog using a FSK Encoder. When an EAS message is received it is checked for validity. The microprocessor determines the message validity by comparing repetitive messages and looks for a successful two out of three compare ratio. Invalid messages, those that do not match two out of three times, are discarded without further action. The messages are also compared to FCC guidelines for valid messages Valid messages are compared with previously received messages that still have active timer periods. Duplicate messages are discarded New messages are compared with a list of pre~ selected header codes and are either stored for manual processing, automatic delay, or immediately relayed automatically, as determined by the pre-selected header parameters. The audio portion of the EAS message is digitized and stored in an internal digital voice storage. The audio is also available at the front monitor speaker and at the back panel audio out. A baseband video message may be relayed. Internal video sync detector circuitry constantly monitors the back panel video input plug and will automatically up convert to [F and pass on any video messages. Expanded text messages can be compiled and stored internally for automatic relay. Using an internal character generator and [F modulator, text messages are easily transported from the TEAS to a cable headend. Text messages may be compiled using the front panel keypad, LCD, and program menus, the public switched telephone interface, and/or the RS~232 I/O port. When an alert is transmitted, the TEAS places the EAS FSK data tones, two tone attention signal, audio message, expanded text message, and/or the video message to the character generator/lF modulator section. The output of the IF modulator is a properly sequenced EAS alert modulated at 45.75Mhz, ready for up converting for further propagation. Audio sources are either stored or live. Live sources are the front panel microphone, two monitored audio source assignments, or the public switched telephone network interface. There are two Stored sources. One source stores up to two minutes of audio from the public switched telephone network interface. The other stored source is up to two minutes of audio from the two monitored assignments or the microphone. When a message is relayed manually, the user can specify which source the audio will come from. EAS messages are logged using the following ports: - Serial Port (user console) - Internal Printer - Front Panel LCD Assigned audio sources are continuously monitored. Any EAN event will automatically override any other alert. 4.2 User Input User input and control is provided by means of the front panel keypad and associated menus displayed on the front panel LCD display, the public switched telephone interface, and the RS-232 I/O port. All functions are password protected. The password, if forgotten can only be changed by an authorized individual. 4.3 Aural and Visual Indicators The TEAS uses four front panel LED's, internal speaker, LCD display, and dry relay contact closures to signal encoder, decoder, and two tone activation.
