Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance! An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alarm detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notifica-...

Description Overview AA-100/AA-100E and AA-120/AA-120E Audio Amplifiers Section 1: Description 1.1 Overview AA-100/AA-100E and AA-120/AA-120E Audio Amplifiers 1.1.1 AA-100/AA-100E Audio Amplifier The AA-100/AA-100E audio amplifier provides up to 100 watts of power. There are two outputs provided: • one output at 70.7 V •...
Description Mass Notification System (MNS) 1.1.5 Cabinet Mounting The AA-100/AA-100E and AA-120/AA-120E mounts directly in the FCI-DR-C4B or FCI-DR- D4B cabinet backbox. Primary (AC) and secondary (24V battery) power source connections must be made to each amplifier. The AA-100 and AA-120 amplifiers require 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz pri- mary power and the AA-100E and AA-120E require 220/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz primary power.
Description Standards 1.2.1 Mass Notification System - Documentation The following MNS System information is available in the Gamewell-FCI, Mass Notification System (MNS) Installation/Operation Manual, Part Number:LS10013-000GF-E. • System Configurations • Class 2 Power-Limited Requirements • System Operation • Cabinets Installations •...
Speaker Switching Section 2: Speaker Switching The amplified signal from each audio amplifier must be connected to a control module, which will switch the signal to a speaker circuit when necessary. Figure 2.1 through Figure 2.4 illustrate the wiring configurations for the AA-100 and AA-120 audio amplifiers. NOTE: SURVIVABILITY CLAUSE: Per the National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, all circuits necessary for the operation of the notification appliances shall be protected until they enter the evacuation signaling zone that they...

Section 3: Primary and Secondary Power for the Audio Amplifiers Primary power required the for AA-100, and AA-120 Amplifiers are 120 VAC and primary power required for the AA-100E, and AA-120E are 220/240 VAC. Secondary power (24 VDC battery) connections must be made at the designated terminals shown in Figure 2.2 and Figure 2.4. Second- ary power may be obtained from any source of 24 VDC which is Listed for Fire Alarm Signaling and has sufficient alarm and standby capacity (CHG-120).
Section 4: Installing the Amplifiers The AA-100/AA-100E and AA-120/AA-120E amplifiers mount directly in the FCI-DR-C4B or DR-D4B backbox. Use the two #8 nuts and lock washers provided to secure the amplifier to the PEM studs on the back panel of the backbox. Figure 4.1 illustrates the DR-D4B cabinet installation.

Terminals and Connectors Adjusting the Audio Gain Level 5.1 Adjusting the Audio Gain Level The Installer can use a multi-position rotary switch to adjust the gain of the audio output signal to compensate for audio line losses. After you make the correct adjustment, the audio amplifier pro- duces its maximum rated output power.
Terminals and Connectors Status LEDs 5.2 Status LEDs Figure 5.2.1 lists the Status LEDs. SW1 (see detail below) Battery Trouble LED – The battery Normal Level LED – During normal (non- voltage has fallen below a sufficient alarm) conditions, when this green LED level.
Section 6: Using a Back-up Amplifier Use an audio amplifier to backup one or more amplifiers. In the event of an amplifier failure, the backup amplifier switching is automatic. Figure 6.1 illustrates the back-up amplifiers wiring. AA-100/AA-100E Output Audio input from INI-VGE Voice Gateway AA-100/AA-100E Output AA-120/AA-120E Output Backup Amplifier (AA-100/AA-100E or AA-120/AA-120E)
