    7200. This module is “DIP" switch programmed and can house 1 or 2 amplifiers, each capable of supplying 25 Watts. These amplifiers (FCI-AAM-25) are activated either by hardwired input or, in the case of a distributed amplification system, via the AAI unit. Recorded messages are held in EEPROM memory on the FCI-MB.
  • Page 33 DO NOT INSTALL FOR REMOTE AMPLIFIER WITH FCI-PSM POWER SUPPLY. MICROPHONE CONNECTOR Figure 2-13 Mother Board (FCI-MB) CAUTION: Disconnect all sources of power before servicing, removing, or inserting any circuit boards. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.
  • Page 34 25-watt amplifier module can also be mounted on the FCI-MB for an additional 25 Watt output. Primary amplifier operation is determined by the settings of DIP Switches S1 and S5 on the FCI-MB. DIP Switch S1 selects the tone that the amplifier broadcasts, determines whether the tone is broadcast before and after a recorded message, and sets the number of tone and/or message repetitions.

  • Page 35: Audio Amplifier Module, 25-Watt (Fci-Aam-25)

    The Audio Amplifier Module provides 25 watts at 25 VRMS for powering speakers, AOMs and AAIs that are mounted in distributed amplifiers. It attaches to connector P4 on the FCI-MB. See Figure 2-16. A second Audio Amplifier Module can be attached to Connector P3 and used to back up the primary 25-watt amplifier supply or for an additional 25 watts of power from the FCI-MB.
