Non-Alarm Audio
How to Properly Set Up a System for Non-alarm Audio
There are some conditions under which non-alarm audio (music, paging announcements) may not be broadcast at the full amplifier capacity of 100
watts. To do so may cause the amplifier to cut out with an over-current fault. This is not a potential problem in alarm-only non-alarm audio.
30% of the capacity of an amplifier is reserved for the 20kHz supervision tone which is broadcast along with the desired non-alarm audio. Amplifiers
with a speaker load of 70% or less of the amplifier capacity (70 watts) may broadcast NAA at full volume.
Amplifiers with a speaker load of more than 70% of amp capacity must operate at a reduced NAA level by reducing the input voltage level so that the
power stage current draw does not exceed 100% of the amp capacity. That level is:
• 25V Amp: 4.0A
• 70V Amp: 1.43A
Current should be monitored by broadcasting NAA and observing the real time current reading in the appropriate section of the card status for the
applicable amplifier. Adjust the input level (external music source, microphone adjustment, etc.) for the proper peak current.
Note: The "peak current" reading in the amplifier card status page should not be used because it is affected by inrush on power-up and is never reset.
The reading may be higher than the NAA peak.
