and optional firefighters’ telephone communication to and from the central lobby location to all remote telephone
handsets. The system consists of an audio cabinet (usually intended for electrical room installation) which
contains a motherboard and card cage which holds up to 7 amplifiers and interface board. The system also
includes a audio power supply, battery charger and batteries all housed in an audio backbox enclosure.
For communication and annunciation there is a microphone for paging, a paging selector panel, firefighters’
telephone and associated selector panels all housed in a lobby enclosure. The paging and telephone modules are
usually intended for installation in a central lobby.
Note that the paging and firefighters’ telephone may be used together or independently, connected to a Fire Alarm
Control Panel.
Overall Features:
• UL and ULC listed
• Supervises signal circuits while in use
• Control of fire management operations (e.g. all-call paging and total evacuation signalling)
• Indications of all required fault conditions
• Microprocessor-based operations with hardware and software watchdog timer to ensure reliable system
operation
• Supervised tone generators
• Up to 144 audio zones with paging controls, or 72 audio zones with both paging & evacuation controls

Installing and Removing QIF-5000B Interface Module and
Amplifier Modules
Installing the QIF-5000B Interface Module and QAA Amplifier Modules
1. Hold the module to be installed by the backplate edges. Do not handle, push or pull any of the components on
the module (especially not the transformer) as this will damage those components.
2. Line up the module being installed with the two plastic runners on the card cage and slide the module back to
the point where the module just about touches the pins on the QMB-5000B motherboard.
3. Make sure that the module is square with the motherboard.
4. Gently push the module forward to line up the module connector with the motherboard pins. Once you have a
sense of feel that the module connector and the motherboard pins are properly lined up, place one thumb on
the top edge of the backplate and the other thumb on the bottom of the backplate and carefully push the
module in. You should hear a slight thud sound when the module is snapped into place.
Removing the QIF-5000B Interface Module
1. Disconnect all cables connected to the module. Do not handle, push or pull any of the components on the
module (especially not the transformer) as this will damage those components.
2. Place one finger of one hand to the top back edge of the backplate behind the card cage frame, and one finger
of the other hand to the bottom edge of the backplate behind the card cage frame.
3. Carefully pull and rock the module forward until the module connector is disconnected from the motherboard
pins.
4. Holding the module firmly by the backplate edges, slide the module forward and completely remove it from the
card cage.
Removing the QAA Amplifier Modules
1. Disconnect all cables connected to the Module. Do not handle, push or pull any of the components on the
module (especially not the transformer) as this will damage those components.
2. Place the forefinger of one hand on the top inside edge of the front heat sink (the heat sinks are the two long
silver channel-like metal covers opposite the backplate) and the forefinger of the other hand on the bottom
edge of the backplate behind the card cage frame.
3. Carefully pull and rock the module forward until the module connector is disconnected from the motherboard
pins.
4. Holding the module firmly by the backplate edges, slide the module forward and completely remove it from the
card cage.
ATTENTION: Improper installation or excessive force will damage the motherboard and modules being
installed or removed.
Note: If the module connector is not properly lined up with the motherboard pins, or if excessive force is
used, the pins on the motherboard can be damaged.
ATTENTION: Power should be disconnected before removing and inserting module.
Multiple Cabinet Connections

Multiple Cabinet Connections
When multiple audio cabinets are used in one installation, each has its own QPS-5000 Power Supply, QMB-5000B
Motherboard, QBC-5000B Battery Charger, and batteries. Only the first audio cabinet requires a QIF-5000B
Interface Module. A total of three audio cabinets may be used by simply interconnecting with Mircom MD-525
Extension Cables from the QMB-5000B "Out" Connector, to the "In" Connector on the next QMB-5000B.
QMB-5000B Motherboards #1, #2, and #3
Multiple QBB-5001 Audio Cabinets may be interconnected up to a total maximum of eight. The first QBB-5001
Audio Cabinet contains a QMB-5000B Motherboard #1 which contains the only QIF-5000B required when
interconnecting multiple QBB-5001 Audio Cabinets. The next two QBB-5001 Audio Cabinets contain QMB-5000B
Motherboards #2 and #3 which are connected with the regular ribbon cable MD-525. The MD-525 cable is
connected to the output connector on motherboard #1 to the input connector on motherboard #2.
Another MD-525 cable is connected from the output connector on motherboard #2 to the input connector on
motherboard #3 (see Figures 6 and 7 for details).
When Connecting Extra QMB-5000B Motherboards #4 and up:
The first MD-525 ribbon cable is connected between Motherboards #3 and #4, and the rest of the other MD-525
cables between subsequent motherboards. The first MD-525 ribbon cable is connected from the Output connector
on Motherboard #3 to the Input connector on Motherboard #4. The next MD-525 ribbon cable is connected from the
Output connector on Motherboard #4 to the Input connector on Motherboard #5, and so on.
From the TS1 terminal block of Motherboard #4, one 18 awg wire is connected to the J3 connector on the QIF-
5000B of Motherboard #1. The sequence and order of connecting to the J3 connector has to be Pin#5 for
Motherboard #4, Pin#4 for Motherboard #5, Pin#3 for Motherboard #6, Pin#2 for Motherboard #7, and Pin#1 for
Motherboard #8. The 8 pin standard molex connector is used to minimize the possibility of connection errors. The
molex connector will allow an easy installation by simply aligning the connector with the top of the QIF-5000B slot
connector on the motherboard. Please note that a misalignment of the molex connector should not cause any
damage, as voltages on top of QIF-5000B connector are low and the driver on the QIF-5000B is well protected.
However, a bad connection may be difficult to troubleshoot.
Note: Jumpers JW1 are removed from all Motherboards #4 to 8.

Figure 6: Interconnecting Extra QMB Motherboards
Notes:
• Jumper JW1 (located in the bottom left-hand corner of the backplane) is installed for cabinets #1 to 3
and removed for cabinets #4 to 8.
• Terminal block TS1 is used for motherboards 4 and beyond (up to 8 total). The two terminals represent
the same electrical point, so either one may be used.
