3.6.3 Selecting the Backup Tone on AA-100/AA-120
The AA-100 and AA-120 Audio Amplifiers automatically produce a backup tone when the low-level audio input is lost. You can select
the backup tone by following these steps.
1. Locate SW1 in the lower right-hand corner of the AA-100 or AA-120 (Figure 3.10).
2. Set SW1 to Hi/Lo or Slow Whoop as the default backup tone as shown below.

3.7 Adjusting the Audio Gain Level

An audio amplifier contains a multi-position rotary switch that lets you adjust the gain of the audio output signal. This adjustment com-
pensates for audio line losses. After correct adjustment, an audio amplifier can produce its maximum rated output power of 25 Vrms
(AA-30, AA-120) or 70.7 Vrms (AA-100).

Lights when
The audio amplifier is adjusted properly and operating correctly during normal (non-alarm) conditions.
The audio amplifier is not sensing low-level audio, or the gain is not adjusted properly.
The battery voltage is below a sufficient level.
The AC power source is below a sufficient level. During a complete loss of AC power, no LEDs will light on the
AA-100/AA-120.
An open circuit condition occurs in the four-wire, high-level output.
A loss of the low-level audio input signal, or an amplifier failure.
A loss of the low-level audio input signal, or an amplifier failure.
