AUDIO CONTROL AND TONE (ACT) MODULE
Introduction
The Audio Control and Tone (ACT) module (V155AE/FLN3851A) serves as a player of
recorded voice and alarm sounds in ACE3600 based alert systems. The ACT module also
routes low-level sound signals to high-level amplifiers. The high-level sound can be directed to
specified alert speakers in a set of six speakers, mounted in different locations.
The ACT module contains an internal audio memory that allows custom tones or audio sounds
to be recorded and stored in the ACT module. Recording of audio may be done directly from a
low-level output source (tape recorder, laptop or radio output).
Front Panel Description
The ACT module is enclosed in a compact plastic accessory box. See the ACT module below.
High-level Audio Inputs (amplified audio from a power
amplifier) - Normally Open and Normally Closed (C).
High-level Audio Outputs 1-6 (Speakers 1-6).
LEDs - Indicate the number of signals that are manually
recorded (up to eight).
Record pushbutton - Used for manual recording.
Low-level Audio Output - Marked as SIG OUT and GND.
Low-level Audio Input - Marked as SIG IN and GND.
COM OUT port - an extension of the COM IN RS232 port and
can be routed to any serial interfaced device (For example,
serial dot matrix printer).
COM IN port - an RS232 communication interface port to the
ACE3600 CPU. This line is used by the RTU for controlling
the unit.
Power inlet - Connected to a DC supply voltage source of 9 to
16 VDC (the AUX port on the ACE3600 power supply).
