 Descriptions
Audio Message Generator (AMG-1 & AMG-E)  Provides a variety of tones and a built-in 
microphone allows for paging through speaker circuits. Optionally, you can install up to four 
digitally-recorded voice messages into the AMG-1: two factory prerecorded voice messages, two 
user-defined messages. You can create both user-defined messages through the AMG-1 built-in 
microphone, or download messages from a standard audio cassette recorder.
The AMG-E is an AMG-1 without a microphone. It is used for applications that require multiple 
Audio Message Generators.
Fire Fighters Telephone (FFT-7 and FFT-7S)  Provides the Voice Alarm System with fire 
fighter's telephone capability. With these units, up to seven telephones can be used to hold a 
simultaneous conversation. The FFT-7S does not provide paging capability. 
Voice Control Module (VCM-4RK)  Provides the system with up to four (4) Style Y (Class B) 
or Style Z (Class A) speaker circuits, or up to four Style Y (Class B) telephone circuits. Moving a 
jumper on the module configures it for driving FFT-7 circuits. When configured for telephone 
circuits, the VCM-4RK accepts its signal directly from a Fire Fighters Telephone. Add an optional 
Voice Control Expander (VCE-4) to the back of the module to provide four additional telephone or 
speaker circuits.
Dual Channel Module (DCM-4RK)  Provides the system with the capability to select one of 
two types of audio sources for switching to a specified speaker circuit. The module provides up to 
four circuits.
Audio Amplifiers  The control panel uses three types of audio amplifiers with an installed Voice 
Alarm System:
• AA-30 – Provides up to 30 watts of audio power for driving 25 Vrms speaker circuits. 
• AA-100 – Provides 100 watts of audio power for driving 25 Vrms and 70.7 Vrms speaker 
circuits.
