Description and Operation
Edwards remote amplifiers are designed to accept tones, voice,
or music inputs from 5541 System control units or tones from
5540 Series Tone Generators. The amplifiers convert the input
signals to 70V line output (up to 15 watts) to sound on speakers
in remote locations. The remote amplifiers are UL listed and
CSA certified as audible signal appliances for general signaling
(non-fire alarm) use.
