Product Ove rview
The Model 10959-903 Wall-mount Audio Messenger Interface (AMI) is capable of generating up to 125
pre-recorded tone/speech messages as well as live voice broadcasts.
It is designed to communicate with GAI-Tronics’
Model ACC2500 Audio Control Center Desk Set (via
RS-232) for use in applications for mass notification
and general public address. The Model 10959-903
can also be accessed via a direct telephone line
connection (extension or Central Office) for dial-up,
live voice broadcasts.
The AMI’s 600-ohm, 0-dBm output can be used as a
broadcast input to GAI-Tronics Addressable
Amplified Speakers, Stanchion Broadcast products,
central amplifier, radio base station or to any device
that accepts a telephone line level input.
Prior to installation of the AMI, we recommend
reading the entire manual and inspecting the contents
of the package to ensure the following are included:
• Model 10959-903 Audio Messenger Interface
®
• CompactFlash
• AMI Configuration Tool (ACT) CD
• Padded envelope including:

Configurations
The AMI Configuration Tool (ACT) software is used to define and change configurations for the AMI
and is included with the unit. To retrieve configurations and play audio messages, the AMI accesses a
CompactFlash
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. Additionally, custom speech messages can be recorded and configured for use
with the AMI. Using commercially available audio editing software, custom fragments can be recorded
onto the PC and store in MP3file format.
For example, to play a speech message and alarm tone simultaneously, the speech can be recorded on the
right channel and the tone on the left channel. The broadcasted result will be a speech-over-tone
message.

memory card that is pre-programmed with the 10959-903 product configuration.
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.).
Live Voice Messages
The AMI can broadcast live voice speech messages via the connected Model ACC2500 Audio Control
Center Desk Set. The ACC2500 can be configured to have any level of priority. For example, the
ACC2500’s live speech messages can be configured to perform emergency voice broadcasts by assigning
it the highest priority level of “0” (zero).
Telephone Operation
The telephone interface portion of the AMI provides the ability to broadcast a live speech message from a
telephone. To perform this function, the AMI must be connected to an analog station port of a PBX type
telephone system or directly to the Central Office telephone line on the public switch telephone network
(PSTN).
Accessing the AMI via a telephone requires a Remote Access Security Code to be entered. This code is
used to prevent unwanted callers from directly accessing the system.
Acoustical feedback, or “howling”, can be a problem when broadcasting from a telephone. This occurs
when a telephone microphone is too close to a speaker that is broadcasting the audio created by the
microphone. To prevent feedback, the AMI includes an integral feedback eliminator circuit. If the AMI
is configured to use the feedback eliminator, incoming telephone broadcasts are recorded and stored in the
AMI until the telephone connection is terminated (caller hangs up). After termination of the call, the
AMI will play the saved broadcast. The delay between the actual speech and the recording playback
eliminates any possibility of feedback.

The telephone interface has multiple operational modes that are configurable via the AMI Configuration
Tool software application. The modes of operation are as follows:
Record Message – Records a message and delivers it to the audio line output
Live Message Mode – Delivers a live voice message (not pre-recorded) to the audio line output.
Manual/Disabled – The telephone interface does not automatically answer a telephone call. However, an
input can be configured for “Manual Access” to allow an attendant to manually answer the telephone and
transfer calls.
Radio Operation
The AMI can be used to access a mobile or base radio for wireless broadcasting. This application
requires connection of the AMI’s audio output (TB3-1 and TB3-2) and control output (TB4-7 and TB4-8)
to the transmit audio and PTT inputs of the radio’s accessory connector. This connection allows the
ACC2500 to broadcast live speech and alarm tones/messages over the RF airwaves.
OTE: Radio audio levels can vary greatly between manufacturers. As noted in the “Specification”
N
section of this manual, the AMI audio level output is 1 Vrms. Please contact our Service Department at
1-800-492-1212, prompt no. 2, if this level overdrives the radio input, as an attenuation circuit may be
required.
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.
