For specific configuration information, see the PAGASYS GEN II SYSTEM MANAGER
Software (Model P-SYSMGR-G) manual document number 25500459.
To install the GENII-RC Remote Amplifier, connect the wiring as follows, and then
configure the Remote Amplifier using the PAGASYS GEN II System Manager.
• Connect AC power cable to the AC Power In port on the rear of the Remote Amplifier.
AC Power connection uses a standard IEC C13 terminated power cable. The wall plug
should be of a type used in the location the chassis is deployed. Federal Signal offers
cables compatible with the Remote Amplifier with UK, EU, or US wall plugs. This cable
is not included with the Remote Amplifier, as it differs on which wall plug is needed.
• Connect beacon relay output as needed on the rear panel of the Remote Amplifier.
The beacon relay output uses six pins for the beacon relay output, three for input,
Line (L), Common, and Neutral (N), and the same signals for output. The wire gauge
used to connect to the digital outputs should support a maximum of 8 A. Typically,
12 gauge wire is used or per local electrical codes.
• Connect wires to the Fault Relay port on the rear panel of the Remote Amplifier.
Terminate the wires to the monitoring terminal.
• Connect digital relay outputs as needed on the rear panel of the Remote Amplifier.
Two digital outputs use three pins for each relay output, NO (normally open),
C (common), and NC (normally closed), and are dry relay contact only (circuit is only
open or closed to pass current). Wire gauge used to connect to the digital outputs
should support current and voltage in “Table 14 GENII-RA700 Inputs and Outputs” on
• Connect digital inputs as needed on the rear panel of the Remote Amplifier. Four
digital inputs use +/- pins for each input and are programmable as dry contact only
(circuit is only open or closed to pass current) or 24 Vdc input. Wire gauge used to
connect to the digital inputs should support current and voltage in “Table 14 GENII-
RA700 Inputs and Outputs” on page 21.
• Connect the Remote Amplifier to speaker runs using wiring that can support up to
350 W (70 or 100 V
RMS
depending on model). There are two different channels that
can support independent speaker runs or zones on each Remote Amplifier model.
• The hot standby connections on the Remote Amplifier are used for standby audio,
with two channels for audio input and two channels for output.
• If using standard PAGASYS GEN II I/O cards, connect a CAT5/6 cable to the Remote
Amplifier I/O expansion port, connecting the other end of the cable to one of the
RJ45 comm ports on the I/O cards needed.
• Connect audio input wiring if local external audio is needed with the Remote
Amplifier. Two channels are available to be used with the two 350 audio channels in
the Remote Amplifier.
• Connect a CAT5/6 cable to one of two Dante®-enabled RJ45 ports to enable
communications with other networked PAGASYS GEN II equipment and allow the RC
controller to send/receive Dante® digital audio.
