General Information
The Model 10962-001 and 10962-002 AMI Redundant Controllers (ARC) are designed for GAI-Tronics
Page/Party
conjunction with the GAI-Tronics Model 10959-105, -106, -207, and -208 Audio Messenger Interface
(AMI) units. The AMI acts as the alarm tone/speech generator to produce emergency tones and/or prerecorded speech messages. Refer to Pub. 42004-399 for more information on the Model 10959-105 and 106 AMIs and Pub. 42004-404 for Models 10959-207 and -208 AMIs.

or public address systems requiring redundant alarm tone/speech generators. They work in
The ARC and AMI devices can be connected in two different configurations depending on the system
requirements. If both AMIs are to be installed at the same location, one Model 10962-002 ARC Module
can be used to control both AMIs. Refer to Figure 3. If the AMIs are to be installed at separate locations,
one Model 10960-001 ARC Module is required at each location. Each ARC will control its respective
AMI. Refer to Figure 4.
In either configuration, one AMI acts as the “active” alarm generator and the other AMI acts as the “backup.” The ARC module(s) control which AMI is active and which is back-up.
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 back-up 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 back-up AMI becomes active and plays its tone/speech
message over the system speakers.

Hardware Configuration
The Model 10962-001 Single Redundant Controller Module consists of one AMI Redundancy Controller
PCBA mounted to the base and one LCD module mounted to the front of the base. Model 10962-002
Dual Redundant Controller has two 69842-001 AMI Redundancy Controller PCBAs mounted to the base
and has two LCD modules mounted to the front of the base.

Figure 4 shows the equipment block diagram when the ARC modules and AMIs are installed in two
different locations.
OTE: When using a CAT 5 cable to directly connect the two ARC modules (as illustrated), the
N
maximum distance between ARC devices is 100 meters. The distance can be extended by using any
external Ethernet devices such as fiber optic modems, hubs, etc.

Installation
Mounting
The Model 10962-001 and -002 Redundant Controller Modules can be mounted in a standard EIA 19inch electronic equipment rack. Each model requires 1U (1.75 inches) of rack space. Complete the
following steps for mounting in the rack:
1. Attach the mounting brackets with the eight 8-32 × 3/8-inch screws provided.
2. Mount the AMI Redundant Controller into the rack using four 10-32 × ¾-inch screws with plastic
shoulder washers.
Wiring Terminations
The Model 10962-001 AMI Redundant Controller provides three terminal blocks, an RJ11 receptacle
labeled RS-232,
The Model 10962-002 is equipped with two sets of terminal blocks and receptacles since it has two
PCBAs. Refer to Figure 5 below for terminal locations.
and an RJ45 receptacle labeled ETHERNET on the rear panel for wiring connections.
