AUDIO  FEATURES 
The  NDU  Voice  Communications  option  provides  automatic  alert  and  evacuation  messages  over  pre-programmed 
speaker  circuits  during  an  alarm  condition.  Evacuation  messages  may  also  be  manually  initiated  either  to  all  areas 
of a building  or to  specific  areas  within  the  building.  The  dedicated  system  microphone  provides  live  voice  message 
delivery  to  any  area  within  the  building.  Voice  messages  or voice  codes  can  be  created  with  the  English  language 
(or  a foreign  language).  Two-way  communications  are  available  with  the  Fire  Fighter’s  Phone  System.  The  NDU’s 
phone-to-audio  interface  enables  the  Master  Phone  or  any  remote  Fire  Fighter’s  phone  to  be  patched  through  the 
audio  system  and  operated  as  a microphone. 
SYSTEM OPERATION 
The  NDU  audio  system  is configured  and  programmed  to  meet  individual  customer  and  code  requirements.  Audio 
systems  are  available  as Single  Channel,  Dual  Channel,  and  Triple  Channel  configurations.  Single  Channel  systems 
can  output  one  tone  or  message  at a time.  Dual  Channel  systems  can  output  two  tones  or messages  simultaneously. 
Triple  Channel  systems  can  output  two  tones  or  messages  AND  a talk  output  simultaneously.  Signal  routing  and  the 
purpose  of  each  channel  depends  on  the  number  of  audio  channels  in the  NDU,  as  shown  in Table  3.
