8.5.2 Signal/Speech Generator
The 302-491B is designed to produce the alert and evacuation tones and speech messages required
for an evacuation system to Australian Standards AS1670.4 or NZS4512. Tones are digitally
produced by microcontrollers for high stability and accuracy. Speech messages, which may be
installed on either or both tones, are microprocessor controlled but stored using the Information
Storage Devices (ISD) Direct Analogue Storage Technology (DAST). Outputs from the card are low
impedance to allow the card to drive 100 AMPAC EV3000 amplifiers (i.e. 40W and 120/240W).
