A2300 Series
Security
Overview
The IFS A2300SHR series audio transceivers provide
distribution of balanced line-level (2.2 V peak-to-peak)
audio signals for emergency broadcast applications on two
optical fibers. The modules allow for the configuration of a
highly fault-tolerant emergency audio system. Utilizing a
self-healing ring topology provides a redundant audio path
via a counter rotating transmission on the second optical
fiber which enables the system to provide circuit integrity
in the event of a cable break. Both fault status indicating
LED’s and hard-wired contact outputs are provided for
each individual communication path for supervision of
proper systems performance. Models within this series are
available for use with multimode or single mode optical
fiber. Plug- and-play design ensures ease of installation
requiring no electrical or optical adjustments. The modules
are available in stand-alone only.
