ANS Audio Notification System Installation Sheet
Product description
The Audio Notification System (ANS) is a self-contained
amplifier, tone generator, digital message repeater, and
supervisory interface. It is designed for use with a UL Listed
fire alarm control panel (FACP) to provide a listed voice
evacuation alarm system. See Table 1 for a list of ANS
models.
The FACP provides all initiating circuitry and a notification
appliance circuit (NAC) that connects to the ANS. The ANS
provides its own internal supervision and supervision for its
speaker lines. The ANS reports faults to the FACP by placing
an open on the FACP NAC. Optionally, faults can be reported
to the FACP by connecting a supervisory circuit to the ANS.
The ANS reports internal failures and speaker line faults by
placing an open on the supervisory circuit.
All models of the ANS are powered by a 120 V, 60 Hz supply.
Optionally, the ANS can be powered by 24 Vdc from a UL Listed
fire alarm power supply. Each model provides a different power
level, but all models can be configured for 25 or 70 Vrms
speakers (by jumper). The factory setting is for 25 Vrms.
ANS models
ANS model numbers have the format: ANS999MDC. Each
model is a complete audio notification panel, including a built-in
tone generator, power transformer, and cabinet. The 999
portion represents the output power: 25, 50, 100, 150, or
200 watts. M indicates the inclusion of a microphone. D
indicates the inclusion of a digital message repeater (DMR). C
indicates the cabinet color, either gray (G) or red (R).
Expander model numbers have the format ANS999XC. Each
model is a complete expander panel, including a built-in tone
generator, power transformer, and cabinet. The 999 portion
represents the output power. X indicates an expander module.
Expanders have no microphone and no DMR. C indicates the
cabinet color, either gray (G) or red (R).
Amplifier model numbers have the format AMS999AMD. The
amplifiers include a built-in tone generator, but no transformer
or cabinet. The 999 portion represents the power output. The A
designation indicates an amplifier. M indicates the inclusion of
a microphone. D indicates the inclusion of a digital message
repeater.
An Expander can operate as a slave amplifier when connected
to an ANS999AMD, which supplies source audio to the slave.
Expanders can also operate as stand-alone audio notification
systems with only tone and microphone amplification.

the following standards:
• NFPA 70 National Electrical Code
• NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code
• NFPA 101 Life Safety Code
• Applicable state and local codes
Install this equipment in a clean, dry environment. Avoid
installation where the equipment could be subjected to
vibration. Remove all electronic assemblies from the enclosure
before drilling or punching the enclosure. Where possible,
make all cable entries from the rear or sides. Before making
any modifications to the enclosure, be certain that they will not
interfere with the assemblies or batteries.
Wiring instructions
Refer to Figure 1 for terminal designations, and to diagrams in
the “Applications” section for wiring diagrams.
1. Connect the speaker lines to TB1-5(+) and TB1-6(−).
Be sure to observe polarity and connect all speakers using
the same polarity. For Class A (Style Z) the returns are
TB1-7(−) and TB1-8(+).
Note: When using 70 VRMS speakers, the speaker wiring
must be enclosed in grounded metal conduit.
2. Connect the microphone to connector P2.
If the microphone is not installed, ensure that switch
SN2-8 is in the OFF position.
3. Attach the appropriate EOLR for the FACP to TB3-3 and 4
and for the speaker circuit to TB3-5 and 6.
You must use EOLR value specified for the FACP
notification appliance circuit (NAC). See the FACP
installation instructions provided by the manufacturer.
2 / 12 P/N 3101179 • REV 03 • REB 28FEB13
Use two 12 V batteries connected in series. (See
Figure 4.) If the unit does not have its own batteries and
relies on an external power supply with battery backup,
ensure that switch SN2-7 is in the OFF position.
Note: Wiring for batteries is nonpower-limited. Maintain a
minimum spacing of 1/4 in. between power-limited wiring
and nonpower-limited wiring.
If the batteries must be located in a separate enclosure,
provide a separate conduit run for the battery wiring only.

Options
Aux +24 Vdc output
Terminals TB2-4, -8, -9, and -10 provide a maximum of 200 mA
of regulated 24 Vdc power for auxiliary functions. Do not
exceed a combined load of 200 mA on these terminals. These
terminals are for connection to ANS accessory modules and
listed general signal devices only and are not for use with fire
protective signaling applications. Terminal TB2-4 activation is
programmed in the U6 EPROM chip. Standard chips are
programmed for TB2-4 to go active (+24 Vdc) under the
following conditions:
• Aux signal active
• Aux audio enable
• Bell circuit active
• RSI active
Reprogramming of these functions must be done at the factory
and requires replacing the EPROM U6.
Aux audio source connection
Terminals TB2-1 and -2 allow connection of an aux audio
source from additional paging equipment to augment an
existing paging system. This option is not intended for
continuous signal input, but may be used for paging
applications. For such an operation the aux audio enable input,
TB2-6, must be powered from the interrupted V+, TB2-9. This
ensures that in the event of an alarm, the aux audio will not
override the evacuation signal. See Figure 9 for connection
details. Use of an ANSAUX Audio Transponder Module may
be required for some audio sources (to match the auxiliary
audio line signal.)
Optional supervisory circuit
Terminals TB3-1 and -2 can be used to connect a supervisory
circuit from the FACP to the ANS. In place of normal
supervision via the notification appliance circuit, an alternate
method may be employed using any supervisory circuit from
the FACP. TB3-1 and -2 provide a normally closed connection
to the EOLR on TB3-3 and -4. The relay contact in the circuit
opens on any trouble condition and reports an open circuit
trouble to the FACP.
Note: To use this option, you must remove jumper shorting

blocks A and B from J1. See Figure 7 for connection details.
Expander installation
The Expander is a self-contained amplifier, tone generator,
power supply, and supervisory interface. It is designed to be
used in conjunction with the ANS to provide additional speaker
output power. An Expander can also be used as a stand-alone
audio notification system, in conjunction with a fire alarm
control panel, to provide voice evacuation where an automatic
message is not desired. See Table 1 for a list of Expander
model numbers and descriptions.
Installation and operation of the Expander is identical to the
ANS with the exception that no digital message is present.
When used in conjunction with an ANS, the expander acts as a
slave, reproducing the tone and message generated by the
master. When used as a stand-alone system, the expander
connects to the FACP exactly as the ANS does, to provide
automatic tone in alarm and voice override capability with the
microphone.
Expander terminal designations and volume controls are
identical to those for the ANS, but DIP switch configuration
differs. The Expander has only one DIP switch, SN1. This
determines tone, master/slave, battery, and microphone
settings.
The following table shows the settings and descriptions for
switch SN1. Note that the factory settings are for slave
configuration.

Alarm audio: Alarm signal 5 seconds - digital message plays alarm signal 5 seconds - digital message plays - alarm signal
5 seconds - digital message plays - unit reverts to alarm signal
until the alarm condition is cleared. If the microphone is keyed
it will override both the tone and the message so a direct
broadcast can be made. If this occurs during the initial
sequence the digital message will be reset and will not play.
When the microphone is keyed or when the message is
played, the green LED dims. The intensity of the green LED
varies with the level of the broadcast audio. This is true in
alarm state as well.
When the ANS is in a fault state, the yellow LED turns on and
stays on. The green LED flashes. The flashes are coded so as
to indicate the specific type of fault. When there is a fault
condition, the contact connecting the FACP signal circuit to the
EOLR opens, indicating the fault to the panel, which then
provides annunciation.
During a ground fault condition, the second yellow LED (LED4)
turns on.
Trouble codes
When the ANS enters the trouble state, the yellow LED turns
on and stays on until the trouble is cleared.
The green LED flashes, using a code to indicate the specific
type of fault. This code repeats with a pause between
repetitions. When multiple trouble conditions occur at the same
time, the codes are added together.
The number of flashes and the associated trouble conditions
are listed below.

Operation
When the ANS is in normal (standby) state, the green LED
stays on.
When the ANS is in an alarm state, the red LED turns on and
stays on as long as the unit is in alarm. The green LED also
stays on in the alarm state.
When using the factory settings, operation is as follows.
