Description
The AA series audio amplifiers provide traditional high level audio technology
for use with Notifier’s integrated voice evacuation systems. The AA Series is
compatible with classic audio systems such as the AMG-1 as well as the DVC
(Digital Voice Command Series) when used with the DVC-AO analog audio option.
Three models are available: the AA-30 (30 watts @ 25 Vrms), the AA-120 (120
watts @ 25 Vrms) and the AA-100 (100 watts @ 70.7 Vrms). All use power-
switching technology to reduce production of heat and permit mounting in
either 19″ (48.26 cm) racks or in standard Notifier cabinets (wall mount). All
include power supply, battery switch-over control, amplifier supervision, and
backup amplifier switch-over control.
Features of the AA-30
- Provides up to 30 watts of 25 Vrms audio power.
- Low-power standby mode for low battery drain.
- Includes grouped or one-to-one backup amplifier switching bus.
- Battery input and brownout switch-over control.
- High-efficiency switched regulation.
- Plug-in terminal strips and cable connectors for ease of installation.
- 10-position level adjustment and indicator LEDs.
- High-fidelity sound quality.
- Class A output wire supervision option.
- Power-limited per UL requirements and NFPA as dictated by NEC Article 760.
- Mounts in a standard CAB-3/CAB-4, or EQ Cabinet Series enclosure.
- 240 VAC version option (AA-30E).
Features of the AA-120/AA-100
- AA-120 provides up to 120 watts of 25 Vrms audio power.
- AA-100 provides dual outputs of up to 100 watts of 70.7 Vrms audio power (combined outputs not to exceed 100 watts).
- Low-power standby mode for low battery drain.
- Includes grouped or one-to-one backup amplifier switching bus.
- Battery input and brownout switch-over control.
- High-efficiency switched regulation.
- Plug-in terminal strips and cable connectors for ease of installation.
- 10-position level adjust and indicator LEDs.
- Separate mounting chassis is not required (integral chassis for mounting in a CAB-3/CAB-4 Series or EQ Cabinet Series enclosure).
- Includes a built-in automatic backup tone generator (slow whoop or high/low).
- Power-limited per UL requirements and NFPA as dictated by NEC Article 760.
- 240 VAC option (AA-100E/AA-120E)
