Configurations

Alarms

The ACT tool includes pre-recorded tones suitable for almost any application. The tones include typical emergency tones (i.e., a siren, slow whoop, etc.) and signaling or process tones (i.e., a gong, steady tone, etc.). All of the tones and speech messages broadcast by the AMI are stored in MP3 file format. For applications where a required tone is not supplied, any tone recorded or stored in an MP3 file format can be used with the AMI.

Inputs/Outputs

The AMI includes eight configurable inputs and outputs. Typically, the inputs are configured to activate tones and/or speech messages, mute audio playback, or reset alarms. The outputs are typically used to activate external signaling devices, interface to automated control systems or interface to paging system equipment.
If the standard eight inputs and outputs are not sufficient for an application, an I/O Control Module can be added to the system. The I/O control module provides an additional 32 inputs and 32 digital outputs expanding the total I/O to 40 each.

Timed Events

The AMI has the capability to perform several functions based on the time of day. With the ACT software, events can be scheduled to occur at any interval (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, etc.).

Optional Telephone Operation

The Telephone Interface has multiple operational modes. The appropriate mode is configurable by the AMI Configuration Tool software application.
The AMI can provide passcode-protected telephone access to the system. The AMI can be configured to allow telephone access only if the correct Remote Access Security Code is entered. The remote access code is used to prevent unwanted callers from directly accessing the system. If the system is configured to use a security code, callers are required to enter the correct code to gain access to the system. Day and Night modes can have different security codes.
The modes of operation are as follows:
®
Page/Party
- Delivers a live voice page (not pre-recorded) to the page line output. The party line is
held open following the page.
Record Page - Records a page, and delivers it to the page line output. Mixed Mode - Records a page, delivers it to the page line output, and holds the party line open
following the page.
Live Page Mode - Delivers a live voice page (not pre-recorded) to the page line output. The party
line is not open following the page.
Ring Mode – Does not deliver a page, but instead plays a configured message on the page line to
signal the incoming call.
Manual/Disabled – The Telephone Interface does not automatically answer a phone call. However,
an input can be configured for “Manual Access” to allow an attendant to manually answer the phone, and transfer calls to a party line.
The AMI can support two modes of operation: Day and Night Mode. The day and night modes can be
configured independently of each other.
As an example of the Day and Night modes, day mode may be configured to allow callers the ability of paging and subsequent party line communications. The night mode may be configured to play a tone over the paging system alerting personnel of an incoming call. In this mode, the call can be answered at any Page/Party

Page/Party® Operation

system, the operation of the telephone interface is as described above, and includes all page modes. The selected party line is hardwired in the system, and cannot be changed by the caller or the AMI configuration.
®
In addition to the telephone operation described above, a user on the Page/Party
system can initiate a call by using Party Hot Dial. When configured via the ACT tool, the AMI recognizes when a station goes off­hook on the designated party line, and automatically dials the preprogrammed telephone number. When the station goes on-hook, the call is terminated after the hang-up delay expires.

Optional ADVANCE Operation

The Page/Party® operation allows for the AMI to play messages/alarms and connect phone calls to an ADVANCE system.
When the AMI is interfaced to an ADVANCE system, the operation of the telephone interface is as described above, and includes all page modes. Party lines 1 and 2 must be used in an ADVANCE system, and cannot be changed by the caller or the AMI configuration.
Scheduled events and live pages can be played through the ADVANCE system to a specified zone group. Zone groups are configured using the ACT tool and the ADVANCE system configuration software. Configured zone groups can be assigned to individual events, messages, or the AMI auxiliary microphone jack.
Refer to the required “Jumper Settings” section on page 11 when the AMI is used with an ADVANCE system.

Optional Zone Operation

The optional Zone Interface Modules provide the capability for the AMI to route audio to eight individually controlled zones. Each zone provides a 0 dBm/600-ohm output. Zones are assigned to zone groups via the ACT tool. A maximum of 60 zone groups may be created. Each zone group has a unique description, and can consist of any combination of zones. The ACT tool provides configuration of zone groups, which can then be assigned to various events and messages. Telephone callers can use DTMF signaling to select the zone group prior to making a page.

Optional AMI Redundancy

The optional AMI Redundant Controller (ARC) provides the capability to increase system reliability by using two AMI units, one as the primary and one as a backup. The ARC module(s) control which AMI is active and which is backup.
During normal alarm operation, input contacts are applied simultaneously to both the active and back-up AMIs. The ARC module(s) allow only the active generator to play the tone/speech message over the system speakers. The backup AMI is held in standby mode to prevent audio mixing of the two AMI tone/speech messages.
In the event of a failure of the active AMI, the backup AMI becomes active and plays its tone/speech message over the system speakers.

Installation

Power Disconnect. The power cord is the main power disconnect for all units.
Disjontion de l’alimentation. Le cordon d’alimentation est la disjonction d’alimentation principale tous les appareils.
Para Desconectar la Alimentación: El cable de alimentación es el medio principal de desconexión del equipo.
Netzanschluß. Wenn man das Netzkabel aus der Steckdose zieht, dann ist die Spannungszuführung zum Gerät vollkommen
unterbrochen.
CAUTION To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
ATTENTION Pour réduire le risque d’incendie, utiliser uniquement des conducteurs de télécommunications 26 AWG ou
de section supérieure.
PRECAUCIÓN Para aminorar la posibilidad de incendios, utilice solamente cable de telecomunicacio nes de calibre 26
(sistema AWG americano) o mayor.
VORSICHT Um die Brandgefahr zu verringern, verwenden Sie bitte nur Fernmeldekabel der Stärke Nr. 26 AWG oder
höher.

Mounting

1. Loosen the four screws on the front cover. Open the front cover of the enclosure to the left.
2. Remove the cable connections between the front panel and rear enclosure.
3. Pull on the left side of the enclosure until the hinge pins pull loose to separate the front and rear
sections. Set the front half of the enclosure aside.
4. Determine the conduit or cable gland location on the rear enclosure. Drill spots have been provided
on top and bottom for use with either a chassis punch or hole saw. Cut or punch the appropriate size hole(s) in the enclosure.
5. Use Myers ST-4 (1.25 inches) Scru-Tite hubs or equivalent. Reducers must be used for smaller
conduit sizes to ensure proper contact with the supplied grounding plates. The hub(s) must be connected to the conduit before being connected to the enclosure.
6. Each mounting hole in the enclosure is 0.280 inch in diameter. Secure the rear enclosure on the wall
with screws or appropriate fasteners.
7. Route the dc power, audio, input/output control, and phone line through the conduit and into the
enclosure allowing adequate cable length to access terminal blocks.
8. Re-install the hinged front cover and re-connect the cables to the front panel.
