Section 1.0 Description
1.1 Introduction
This manual contains information on the AA36-100 Digital ICS Tie Line Adapter. Information in this
section consists of purpose of equipment, features and specifications, and unit nomenclature.
1.2
Purpose of Equipment
The AA36-100 will allow any AEM audio intercom product with an ICS tie line or SuperNAT tie line to be
interfaced to other proprietary bi-directional and uni-directional ICS tie lines.
Typically, the AA36-100 is used to add AEM intercom/audio systems to an existing system that is not
manufactured by AEM.
The AA36-100 can be set to work in a number of installation configurations. The typical application would have
an NAT ICS tie line (or SuperNAT
tie line) being interfaced to another ‘universal’ bi
-directional tie line (e.g. dB
Systems, Gemelli, Andrea, etc). Alternatively, the NAT
tie line can be interfaced with the ‘universal’ uni
-
directional tie line (e.g. mic and phones).
1.3
Features
The AA36-100 is designed to be easy to install and set up.
The AA36-100 accepts intercom bi-directional audio from NAT standard ICS tie line (340 mVrms into 2
kOhms), and can accommodate up to three NAT loads in parallel. In NAT Super tie mode (1.2 Vrms into
2 kOhms), up to 3 NAT Super tie loads are allowed.
At installation or service, the following functions can be adjusted to suit the user:
the universal microphone output levels (but not impedances)
the universal bi-directional ICS tie line output levels and impedances
the attenuation of the analog audio signal arriving on the universal ICS tie line or microphone
input
the attenuation of the analog audio signal arriving on the NAT ICS tie line
the output level of the NAT bi-directional ICS tie line
the universal bi-directional tie line can be configured to one of 4 possible proprietary tie lines
On power up, a burst of white noise is generated on each bi-directional ICS tie line, along with a short tie
line identification message.
