EVX-25E / EVX-50E
EXPANDER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The EVX-25E/ EVX-50E is a self contained amplifier, tone generator, power supply and supervisory
interface. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the EVAX 25/ 50 to provide additional speaker
output power. It may also be used stand-alone in conjunction with a Fire Alarm Control Panel to
provide voice evacuation where an automatic message is not desired.
Installation and operation is identical to the EVAX 25/ 50 (see Installation Instructions P/N 1-5001 Rev.
D). With the exception that no digital message is present. When used in conjunction with the EVAX
25/ 50 the Expander will act as a slave reproducing the tone and message generated by the master.
When used as a stand-alone, the Expander will connect to the FACP exactly as the EVAX 25/ 50 does
to provide automatic tone in alarm and voice override capability.
All terminal designations and volume controls are identical to the EVAX 25/ 50. One exception is that
on the Expander SN1 determines Tone, Master/Slave, Battery and Mic. There is no SN2.
Factory defaults are:
Expander as Slave
1 = OFF Temporal Whoop Signal
2 = OFF
3 = OFF
4 = OFF
5 = OFF
6 = OFF Slave (ON = Master setting)
7 = ON Battery connected (OFF = No Batteries)
8 = OFF No Mic (ON = Mic connected)

1 = OFF Temporal Whoop Signal
2 = OFF
3 = OFF
4 = OFF
5 = OFF
6 = ON Master setting
7 = ON Battery connected (OFF = No Batteries)
8 = ON Mic connected
