amplifier or the amplifier output can run as a audio riser to signa-

fier has a built in 1kHz tone generator and provision for a back up
amplifier. Should an amplifier lose its input signal the output will
switch to a back up amplifier. If there is no back up amplifier or
the output from the back up is unavailable the output will receive
the internal 1kHz tone as the evacuation signal. On board status
