PBUS (485) AV-AMP-80 Wiring
As previously indicated, AV-VB distributed audio boosters can also be configured for use in Axis
AX
PBUS (485)
amplifier installations. When an AV-VB is utilized in this configuration, the amplifier is wired as a PBUS (485) floor
(area) amplifier. As a PBUS (485) floor (area) amplifier the amplifier is connected an Axis
AX
fire alarm control
panel’s AX-CTL base card (PBUS) and all control / operation is done via the associated base card. In addition to
wiring to an AX-CTL base card, the amplifier will also monitor the associated AX-PSU-6 power supply and report its
status to the AX-CTL base card (see figure 5).
Note: For additional information regarding AV-VB distributed audio booster PBUS (RS485) use, refer to the
associated Axis
AX
audio fire alarm control panel manual.
