8 Audio Line Splitter (ALS)
The Audio Line Splitter allows an amplifier’s 100V line output to be split into four monitored branches.
A single monitored branch can deliver up to 100Watts of audio load.
However, the combined total audio load of the four branches is limited to a maximum of 250Watts.
All four branches of the ALS are associated to the same Emergency Zone, which is determined by the
connected amplifier settings.
Each branch can be configured to have different Paging Zones when a Remote Paging Console is
connected to the system and the ASL is connected over the CAN bus.
A maximum of two ASL’s can be connected to a single Amplifier, with a combined maximum of four per
system when configured using the EvacUwiz and CAN bus communications.
If more than two ASL’s are required per Amplifier then they can not be configured in the EvacUwiz or
connected on the CAN bus.
