4.0 REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

Fig 2

DC Input

Power is supplied to the unit via a 2.1mm (tip to positive) DC socket. The input voltage must be between 
12-30V DC.

RCA Stereo Line Output

Connect these outputs to the output amplifier. Output level is nominal 500mV but is related to the recorded 
level of the MP3. 

Pluggable 12-30VDC switched output

Connects via Euroblock screw terminals. Please observe correct polarity when connecting. 
The switched output terminal is triggered when any message or tone is activated. The output voltage is the  
same as the power supplied to the unit. ie if the A 1741 is powered by 12V DC, the switched output voltage 
will be 12V DC.

Cancel Trigger

The cancel trigger is activated by closing contacts on the rear of the unit whether by a normally open switch 
or a timer or controller. The trigger can be set to Momentary or Alternate triggering. See DIP SW settings.

Alert and Evac Triggers

The Alert and Evac triggers are activated by closing contacts on the rear of the unit whether by a normally  
open switch or a timer or controller. The triggers can be set to Momentary or Alternate triggering. See DIP SW 
settings. (Note: These triggers have a common ground).

Message 1-8 Triggers

The message triggers are activated by closing contacts on the rear of the unit whether by a normally   
open switch or a timer or controller. The triggers can be set to Momentary or Alternate triggering. See DIP SW 
settings. (Note: These triggers have a common ground).

DIP Switches

These DIP switches are used to:
Set the triggers as either momentary or alternate action. (Refer to Fig 3)
Set the Alert and Evacuation tones to either “ON” or “OFF”. (Refer to Fig 3)
Disable or Enable the front switches for use. (Refer to Fig 3)
Set the delay between the Alert and Evacuation tones. (Refer to Fig 4)
