2.5 Installing the A 4573 optional Alert/Evac Module

The A 4573 module provides a means of adding Alert, Evacuation and chime tones to the amplifier. A voice-over mes-
sage can also be recorded and played back during the evacuation tone cycle. All alert and evacuation tones comform to 
Australian standard AS1607.4.

NOTE: If the Alert/Evac Tone Module (A 4573) is fitted its VOX will always be enabled.

 

 It will override inputs 2 to 6 when activated.

To install the tone generator follow these steps.

1. 

Remove the lid from unit 

2. 

Unscrew the tone generator cover plate from the rear panel 

3. 

Locate tone generator 10 way header on board (this is located at the rear of the main board) 

4. 

Connect ribbon cable header to the 10 way header on the rear board of mixer (see fig 2.5A). 

5. 

The tone generator is held in by way of 2 screws (supplied) through the rear panel (via the same holes that the  

 

tone generator cover plate was attached). 

6. 

Refit lid and secure with screws. 

NOTE: Tones are operated by closing contacts and remain operating whilst contacts are closed. 

Fig 2.5B shows the volume controls and the triggers.

2  

Chime Volume

 

Use this trimpot adjustment to change the output level of the chime volume.

3  

Alert and Evacuation Volume

 

Use this trimpot adjustment to change the output level of the alert and evacuation tone. 

Alert, Evacuation, chime and cancel contacts 

 

Use these contacts to trigger the chime tones, the alert tone, the evacuation tone and to cancel any 

 

of the tones once triggered. All tones & cancel function are operated by a closing contact to ground. 

 

This could be triggered via building fire indicator board, break glass alarm etc.
