Wiring Multiple Audio Amplifiers Amplifying Audio Messages
Typical wiring of two primary AA-100 audio amplifiers without using a backup amplifier:
3.8.3 Two Primary Amplifiers With Backup
Use an AA-30, AA-100 or AA-120 audio amplifier to back up one or more amplifiers. If an amplifier fails, backup amplifier switching
is automatic.
Connect P6 on the backup amplifier to P4 on the first primary amplifier as shown in Figure 3.15. If there are multiple primary amplifiers,
use P5 to feed the P4 connector on successive amplifiers.
Figure 3.15 shows a typical wiring configuration using an AA-120 as a backup amplifier, Figure 3.16 below shows the use of two AA-
30s where one serves as a backup, and Table 3.6 lists the wiring components used.
• This wiring diagram applies to AA-30, AA-100, and AA-120 audio amplifiers. Connections to plugs P1, P2, P4, P5, P6, P9, and
P10 are identical.
