ANS Audio Notification System Installation Sheet

Product description Table 1: ANS models

Model number Description Amplifier Audio
The Audio Notification System (ANS) is a self-contained modules circuits
amplifier, tone generator, digital message repeater, and
supervisory interface. It is designed for use with a UL Listed ANS25MD(G/R) 25 W ANS ANS25AMD 1
fire alarm control panel (FACP) to provide a listed voice ANS50MD(G/R) 50 W ANS ANS50AMD 1
evacuation alarm system. See Table 1 for a list of ANS ANS100MD(G/R) 100 W ANS ANS100AMD 1
models.
ANS150MD(G/R) 150 W ANS ANS100AMD 2
The FACP provides all initiating circuitry and a notification ANS50A
appliance circuit (NAC) that connects to the ANS. The ANS ANS200MD(G/R) 200 W ANS ANS100AMD 2
provides its own internal supervision and supervision for its ANS100A
speaker lines. The ANS reports faults to the FACP by placing
ANS25X(G/R) 25 W Expander ANS25A 1
an open on the FACP NAC. Optionally, faults can be reported
to the FACP by connecting a supervisory circuit to the ANS. ANS50X(G/R) 50 W Expander ANS50A 1
The ANS reports internal failures and speaker line faults by ANS100X(G/R) 100 W Expander ANS100A 1
placing an open on the supervisory circuit.
ANS150X(G/R) 150 W Expander ANS100A 2
All models of the ANS are powered by a 120 V, 60 Hz supply. ANS50A
Optionally, the ANS can be powered by 24 Vdc from a UL Listed ANS200X(G/R) 200 W Expander ANS100A 2
fire alarm power supply. Each model provides a different power ANS100A
level, but all models can be configured for 25 or 70 Vrms
speakers (by jumper). The factory setting is for 25 Vrms.
