AMS-8 units to create a system up to 80 audio zones
Optional Audio Link Cards are required. The number of required Audio Link Cable sets depends on the total
number of connected sources (incl. paging panels and internal tuner cards). One Audio Link Cable set is required
to link up to four analogue sources.
For each added rack frame, also add a piece of communication cable (2 wires + shielding) to link the ‘Racklink
1 or 2’ connection of the added rack to a free racklink connection on the previous installed rack. Make sure that
the termination jumpers are only placed on the RS485 communication cards of the first and last AMS-8 system.
NOTE 1: To link the digital signal of a Message Storage Card, Digital Input Card or the digital signal (instead
of analogue) of the Twin Tuner Card, one should add a Digital Input Card and Digital Coaxial Cable
(RCA-RCA) per added rack frame.
NOTE 2: Only 1 Ethernet port can be used within 1 physical netwerk. The use of VLANS or other virtual
networks is not allowed!
