4.4.2 Hardwired Amplifier As a hardwired (non PBUS) amplifier, the NX-AMP-80 can support two (2) field programmable messages. Each of the NX-AMP-80 amplifiers (two per NX-AMP-80) is activated whenever one of the NX-AMP-80 trigger inputs (trigger input 1, 2 or 3) is activated (see figure 31): Trigger input 1 when activated not only turns on both amplifiers (audio notification appliance circuits) it also activates programmed message/tone #1, and plays this message over the audio notification appliance circuits.
4.4.3 Programming Amplifier 2 as a Backup Amplifier As previously discussed, both amplifiers (AMP 1 and AMP 2) of the NX-AMP-80 amplifier are controlled together. However, based on installation or local code requirements, amplifier 2 (AMP 2) can be configured as a backup amplifier for amplifier 1 (AMP 1).
Note: The NX-ZS audio zone splitter is designed specifically for direct connection to installation speakers, if a need arises for the use of an SHIELD, addressable sounder (NAC) module (S-A4046), the user must limit the number of sounder (NAC) modules to six (6) per audio notification appliance circuit. If more than six (6) sounder (NAC) modules (S-A4046) are utilized on a circuit, during alarm activation, the possibility exists for a short circuit condition which would shut down the circuit to avoid overloading.
4.5.1 NX-ZS Mounting The NX-ZS audio zone splitter module is supplied with three (3) metal hexagon spacers and one (1) nylon spacer. Remove the three (3) lower screws securing the NX-AMP-80 module to its mounting plate and install the three (3) provided metal hexagon spacers.
Note: The NX-ZS audio zone splitter module reports status open circuit, short circuit and grounds via the associated NX-AMP-80 amplifier (audio notification appliance circuit). In addition, a fail-safe trouble relay contact available which opens on any split audio notification appliance circuit trouble condition or on loss of 24 VDC input power, this trouble relay contact can be monitored for individual NX-ZS trouble indication (see figure 35).
4.6 NX-EM-PSU6 Power Supply Charger The NX-EM-PSU6 Power Supply Charger is the power supply charger for the NX-AMP-80 amplifier. In addition, the NX-EM-PSU6 can be utilized as an additional power supply charger for other NEO installation power supply charger requirements (i.e. power for NX-EM-CZM Conventional Zone Module). Note: If two (2) NX-AMP-80 amplifiers are being utilized and amplifier 2 of both NX-AMP-80 amplifiers is programmed as a backup amplifier for amplifier 1 of the NX-AMP-80 amplifiers, a single NX-EM-PSU6 power supply charge can be provided for both NX-AMP-80 amplifiers.

8 Multiple NEO Command Centers As all NEO fire alarm control panels can support the SHIELD network (200 nodes Class X[A] (Style 7) or 32 nodes Class B), installations can have many different command center locations utilizing NX-FACC-1 command centers, NX- CC01-BB/NX-CC02-BB modular command centers and/or other NEO fire alarm control panels.
NFPA 72) will illuminate indicating “Command Center In-Control”, while other command center locations could be programmed with a “Command Center Not In-Control” LED status indication. Note: When utilizing Audio Prioritized Command Centers, NX-ACS-DSP controls (i.e. acknowledge, reset, signal silence, etc.) are still functional at any of the command center locations. Audio prioritized command center control, only blocks additional command center locations use of audio, firefighter phone and/or other switch/LED module controls.
