Functions
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. Inputs are typically configured to activate tones
and/or speech messages, mute audio playback, or reset alarms. Outputs are typically used to activate
external signaling devices, interface to automated control systems, or interface to paging system
equipment.
An I/O control module can be added to the system if the standard eight inputs and outputs are not
sufficient for an application. The I/O control module provides an additional 32 inputs and 32 digital
outputs expanding the total possible inputs and outputs to 40 of each.
Timed Events
The AMI has the capability to perform several functions based on the time of day. Events can be
scheduled to occur at any interval (hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly, etc.). Scheduled events are
configured using the ACT software.

Optional Telephone Operation (Model 10959-208 only)
The Model 10959-208 AMI can provide passcode-protected telephone access to the system 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. Callers must enter the correct
security code to gain access to the system if the system is configured to use a security code. Day and
night modes can have different security codes.
The telephone interface has multiple operational modes. Configure the appropriate mode using the ACT
software application.
The operational modes of operation are as follows:
Page/Party®—Delivers live voice pages (not pre-recorded) to the page line output.—The party line is
held open following the page.
Record Page—Records each page before delivery 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—Plays a preconfigured message on the page line to signal an 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 temporal modes of operation: day mode and night mode. The day mode and
night mode can be configured independently of each other. As an example of different day and night
modes; the day mode may be configured to allow callers to page and wait for a subsequent party line
communication, while the night mode is configured to play a tone over the paging system alerting
personnel of an incoming call. The call can be answered at any Page/Party® station in this mode.
Page/Party® Operation
Page/Party® operation allows the AMI to play messages/alarms and connect phone calls (Model 10959-
208) to a Page/Party® system.
Page/Party® operation has the ability to generate the VLC tone during a message/alarm that gives
Page/Party® stations a signal to change the volume of the message/alarm being played.
The operation of the Model 10959-209 telephone interface works as described above when the AMI is
interfaced to a Page/Party® system. The party line used for telephone operation in a Page/Party® system
is hardwired in the system, and cannot be changed by the caller or the AMI configuration.
A user on a Page/Party® system can also initiate a call using a feature called party hot dial. Party hot dial
is configure with the ACT tool and allows the AMI to recognize when a station has gone off-hook on a
designated party line. The AMI then connects that party line to the telephone interface and automatically
dials a preprogrammed telephone number. The call is terminated after a hang-up delay when the station is
placed back on-hook.
Optional ADVANCE Operation
Page/Party® operation allows an AMI to play messages/alarms and connect phone calls to an ADVANCE
system. The operation of the telephone interface includes all page modes as described above when the
Model 10959-209 AMI is interfaced to an ADVANCE system.

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.
NOTE: Party lines one and two must be used in an ADVANCE system, and cannot be changed by the
caller or the AMI configuration.
Refer to the Jumper Settings section when the AMI is used in an ADVANCE system.
Optional Zone Operation
The optional zone interface module allows the AMI to route audio to eight individually controlled zones.
Each zone provides a 0 dBm/600-ohm output. Use the ACT tool to assign zones to zone groups. A zone
group is assigned a unique description and can consist of any combination of zones. A maximum of 60
zone groups can be created. Use the ACT tool to assign various events and messages to each zone group.
Telephone callers can use DTMF signaling to select the zone group prior to making a page.
Optional AMI Redundancy
The optional ARC (AMI Redundant Controller) 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 the 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

Field Wiring
Figure 3. Back of rack with connections labeled
Digital Outputs
Terminal block TB1, labeled DIGITAL
OUTPUTS, is located on the rear of the AMI. It provides eight
digital common ground outputs. The outputs are open collector active low. The controlled circuit must
use the same voltage used to power the AMI. The ground or dc common terminals for the controlled
circuits must be tied to GND on the terminal block. Each output can supply 100 mA maximum current.
