Interrogator 200 Audio Verification Module
(AVM) Installation Instructions

Product summary

The Interrogator 200 Audio Verification Module (AVM) (60-677)
gives the central station operator the ability to hear what’s
happening at the premises during an alarm and speak directly
to the system owner. The operator can determine how serious
an alarm is, find out what kind of help is needed, and dispatch
the appropriate assistance.

Installation guidelines

Use the following guidelines when installing the AVM:

• You can have no more than two AVMs per panel.

one is 300 feet from the panel, the other AVM can’t use
more than 200 feet of cable.

Tools needed

• Phillips screwdriver

• Mounting screws and anchors (included)

• Drill and bits

• 3-conductor, 22-gauge shielded stranded wire

• 2-conductor, 18-gauge stranded wire

Installation

To mount the AVM:

1. Route both 2 and 3-conductor wire cables from the
module to the panel.

2. Remove the cover screws from the module cover and
rotate it away from the base. Set the cover and screws
aside.

3. Remove the speaker plate screws and lift the speaker
plate off the back box (Figure 2 below).

• Wire speakers (voice terminals) in series and the DC
voltage, ground, and microphone wires in parallel.

• Wiring more than two speakers to the panel voice
terminals or wiring them in parallel can damage the panel.

• Use separate cables for the speakers and the power,
ground, and microphone wires to prevent cross talk
between the microphone and the speaker.

• Use 3-conductor, 22-gauge shielded wire from the AVM
power, ground and microphone to the panel. Shielded
cable reduces electrical noise and cross talk.

• Use 2-conductor, 18-gauge wire from the speakers to the
panel.

• Use a maximum of 500 feet. of cable for all speakers and
microphones. For example, if you’re using two AVMs and

4. Splice the yellow wire to the microphone cable.

5. Connect the black speaker wires on the module to the two
center terminals.

7. Align the back box mounting screw key holes with the two
mounting screws and slide down.

8. Level the back box and tighten the mounting screws.

9. Feed the cable through the large hole on the speaker
plate.

10. Replace the speaker plate on the back box.

UltraGard wiring

To wire the AVM to an UltraGard panel:

1. Turn off the panel power switch.

2. Strip about ½ in. from cables and module wires.

6. Connect the shielded cable drain wire (bare wire as shown
in Figure 6 below) to ground terminal 19.

7. Replace the AVM cover and screws.

Powering up

To power up the panel:

1. Make sure all wires are connected properly and securely
crimped.

2. Turn the panel power switch on.

3. Connect terminals as shown in Figure 5 below. Use 18­gau

ge wire for speakers and 22-gauge for +12V, ground,

and microphone.
