Interrogator 200 Audio Verification Module
(AVM) Installation Instructions
Product summary
The Interrogator 200 Audio Verification Module (AVM) (60-677)
gives the central station operator the ability to hear what’s
happening at the premises during an alarm and speak directly
to the system owner. The operator can determine how serious
an alarm is, find out what kind of help is needed, and dispatch
the appropriate assistance.

Installation guidelines
Use the following guidelines when installing the AVM:
•
You can have no more than two AVMs per panel.
•
Wire speakers (voice terminals) in series and the DC
voltage, ground, and microphone wires in parallel.
•
Wiring more than two speakers to the panel voice
terminals or wiring them in parallel can damage the panel.
•
Use separate cables for the speakers and the power,
ground, and microphone wires to prevent cross talk
between the microphone and the speaker.
•
Use 3-conductor, 22-gauge shielded wire from the AVM
power, ground and microphone to the panel. Shielded
cable reduces electrical noise and cross talk.
•
Use 2-conductor, 18-gauge wire from the speakers to the
panel.
•
Use a maximum of 500 feet. of cable for all speakers and
microphones. For example, if you’re using two AVMs and
one is 300 feet from the panel, the other AVM can’t use
more than 200 feet of cable.
