C. HOW TO CONFIGURE SPEAKER CIRCUITS FOR DUAL-CHANNEL OPERATION
The Dual-Channel Speaker Circuit Configuration screen allows you to assign each of the amplifiers speaker
circuits (1 – 4) to one or multiple panel zone(s). It also allows you to set whether the audio source to the
speaker circuit will be supplied by the internal message stored on the amplifier or supplied by the amplifier’s
external audio source input, which is fed by the interconnected amplifier.
L
Note:
This configuration screen is only used if you are using dual-channel amplifiers. Dual-channel
requires two amplifiers to be interconnected together to basically form one amplifier that is capable of
playing the EVAC or ALERT message through any of the eight available speaker circuits (four per amp).
By default, one amplifier is designated as the EVAC amp and the other as the ALERT amp.
From the “Amplifier Menu” screen, press the F3 key to access the “Dual-Channel Speaker Circuit
Configuration” screen, as shown below:

Exhibit 4-51: Dual-Channel Speaker Circuit Configuration Screen
•
Row A (AMP ADR) – This field allows you to select the peripheral bus address of the amplifier. The
address can be changed, but will only change to addresses where the peripheral type is Amplifier.
•
Row A (SPKR) – This field allows you to select the speaker circuit (1-4) to configure.
•
Row B (EVAC/ALERT) – This field is used in conjunction with Row D to select the audio source for
the speaker circuit displayed in Row A. The field can be toggled between “EVAC” (evacuation) or
“ALERT” conditions.
•
Row B (Zones) - This field allows you to select the 20 zone range (Zones 001-254) that is displayed
in Rows C & D.
•
Row C – These numbers act as placeholders and zone number indicators for the range of zones
selected on Row B.
•
Row D – The fields in Row D allow you to select the zones that will activate the speaker circuit
displayed in Row A (SPKR) and allow you to select the source of the audio message for the EVAC
or ALERT state indicated in Row B.
-
= selected speaker circuit is not programmed for this zone
I
= selected speaker circuit is assigned to this zone and will use the amplifier’s internal
message
E
= selected speaker circuit is assigned to this zone and will use the audio message
supplied by the amplifier’s external audio input (interconnected amp)
Example: If the amplifier indicated in Row A is the EVAC amp and the EVAC/ALERT field in Row B
is set to EVAC, then the applicable zone fields in Row D should indicate “I” for internal. If the
EVAC/ALERT field in Row B is set to ALERT, then the applicable zone fields in Row D should
indicate “E” for external.
Use the

arrow keys to position the cursor under the specific field; then use the
+/-
keys to toggle the
status.
