Edwards Audio Notification System Data Sheet

Fire Alarm Audio System Series ANS series of products from EDWARDS is a collection of audio notification systems that provide voice capability which meets the emergency voice alarm of NFPA 72 for UL listed fire alarm applications ANS are available in 25 50 or 100 Watt models and include a amplifier tone generator digital message repeater and supervisory interface self contained systems offer robust field configurable fea and are supported by a wide range of accessory equipment provides application flexibility and reliable performance for and retrofit installations alike panels and modules extend the range of the ANS sys to meet the needs of demanding audio applications Acces equipment such as zone switchers and remote microphones the sophistication of high end systems for a relatively low systems are ideal for use with EDWARDS fire alarm control when emergency voice alarm service is required Genesis and speaker strobes may be used with ANS audio sys to provide a clean and attractive appearance for voice audio Features Meets NFPA 72 Emergency Voice Alarm requirements Easy to use custom configuration software Clean dead front construction Integrated field recordable digital message player Twenty minute message capacity 25 50 or 100 Watt models available Field selectable for either 25 or 70 Vrms speakers 120 VAC power supply and battery charger included Paging microphone overrides message and tone High reliability low maintenance Fully supervised UL listed Easy installation operation and configuration Built in alarm and alert signals 24 hour backup capability 1 of 8 D A T A S H E E T S85001 0587 to be used for installation purposes Issue 2 Signaling Catalog u Audiofirealarmresources com fire codes generally require voice evacuation systems in of assembly with over 300 person occupancy in theatres more than one screen and in buildings seven stories or ANS Series Audio Notification Systems represent an effec and efficient solution for meeting these requirements systems are ideal for new applications with fire control panels do not provide integrated audio functions These audio also provide the opportunity to add voice evacuation ca to existing fire alarm applications without replacing existing alarm control equipment fire alarm control panel works in concert with the ANS audio providing all initiating circuitry and a signaling circuit that to the ANS The ANS provides its own internal supervi as well as supervision for its speaker lines are reported back to the fire alarm control panel by means a supervisory circuit which is connected to a matching EOLR the ANS Internal failures and speaker line faults open a con which the fire alarm control panel reports as an open fault on supervisory circuit digital message repeater DMR is built into all ANS systems ordered without the DMR Up to 20 minutes of custom can be uploaded in the field with the use of a laptop the ANSCONFSOFT1 configuration software In addition the from eight available alarm tones automatic message AC fault report delay and connected equipment settings all field configurable paging microphone is an integral component of the audio system Removal of the microphone from the panel cause a Trouble condition This is reported locally as well as the fire alarm control panel ANS panels include a 120 V 60 Hz supply standby batter are required Optionally ANS panels can be powered with from the fire alarm control panel or a booster power supply speaker strobes are used strobe power is provided by the alarm control panel or a booster power supply Wiring
