The capacitor and transformer are provided when purchasing speakers from Honeywell. Check that the tapping of the speaker is set for your required output level and the total loading does not exceed the power rating of the amplifier. To comply with AS 4428.16, the speaker lines must be connected to the speaker interfaces of SAM-4 module.
DA Series BOWS Section 3 Installation 3.5. SAM-4 4-Way Speaker Distribution Module The four-way speaker distribution module is used to distribute the speaker line to up to 4 areas of a building. It does not amplify the signal. It provides separate monitoring to each output line and indicates their fault condition via on board LEDs and fault relays.
Page 20
DA Series BOWS Section 3 Installation The supervision of all speaker lines is enabled by default. To disable any speaker line supervision, use a tool to change the DIP switch (SW3) to ON position. Connect the speaker output lines to the distributed speakers as required. Fit a 47kΩ 1W EOL resistor for each line, even if there are no speakers connected to the line.
DA Series BOWS Section 3 Installation 3.6. Connecting multiple SAM-4 Modules Up to 8 SAM-4 modules can be connected to an amplifier module, so that the amplifier may drive more speaker lines. Please refer to figure 3-25 and follow below steps to connect the modules: Connect 100V output of previous module to 100V input of next module, connect all the modules as a chain;...

DA Series BOWS Section 3 Installation 3.7. DA Controller NOTE: While the DA2-Series BOWS is backwards compatible with previously used controllers. To maintain compliance of an AS4428.16 system any controller used must be certified. NOTE: When using the DA2-Series BOWS with a retrofitted system, that in the DA2- Series BOWS the PA has a lower priority than the Emergency tones.
DA Series BOWS Section 3 Installation 3.8. DA – Pre-Amp Controller (DA-DISPF) Figure 3-14 – DA Pre-Amp Controller Board Mounting To remotely activate the false alarm message, connect an external button across the false alarm message jumper pins on the display board as per Figure 3-15. To remotely activate the test message, connect an external button across the test message jumper pins on the display board as per Figure 3-15.
DA Series BOWS Section 3 Installation 3.9. Alternate Microphone An alternate microphone can be connected to the microphone terminal on the CPU board of the amplifier. A Push to Talk (PTT) switch to activate the microphone must be placed across the terminals as shown in Figure 3-16.
DA Series BOWS Section 3 Installation 3.10. Custom Message Module (CMM-2) Install a custom message module (CMM-2) for an additional 2 messages. Ensure the amplifier is powered down. Insert the CMM-2 into the amplifier as shown in Figure 3-17. The CMM-2 must have the white corner indicator furthest away from the seven-segment display.
DA Series BOWS Section 3 Installation 3.12. Chime and Lockdown Activation Connection Connect a normally open momentary push button across the terminals as shown in Figure 3-19. A momentary push button is recommended as you do not need to have the button down for the duration of the message, only to activate it.
DA Series BOWS Section 3 Installation 3.14. Connecting a pre-amplifier to the Microphone Selector NOTE: While the DA2-Series BOWS is backwards compatible with previously used controllers. To maintain compliance of an AS4428.16 system any controller used must be certified. Figure 3-21 shows how to connect the pre-amplifier to the microphone selector. The microphone selector can be used to page single zones or all zones from the one microphone.
Page 29
DA Series BOWS Section 3 Installation Use two 12mm M3 standoffs to fasten the microphone selector to the standoffs on the metalwork. Screw the nut onto the shaft of the switch to help secure it to the metalwork. Fit the knob of the switch to the shaft. Check that it indicates the right position and can be turned to the available options.

DA Series BOWS Section 4 Operation Section 4 Operation 4.1. Using the DA Controller/DA-PAC The DA controller is used to manually override the automatic function of the amplifier. There are four settings: a. Off This will turn the amplifier off, including background music and microphone paging, even if it has an alarm from the panel or on its network.
DA Series BOWS Section 4 Operation 4.5. Activating the Chime Tone To play the message programmed as the chime message, short the terminal ‘CHIME IN’ to 0V. This can be done via a relay or normally open switch. If the terminal is constantly held down, the amplifier will play the message repeatedly.
DA Series BOWS Section 4 Operation Figure 4-1 - Amplifier Level Adjustment Pots NOTE: The amplifier connector to zone 1 of the microphone selector provides power for the pre-amplifier. The connection for Zone 1 must be connected to a front display card connected to a pre-amplifier.
DA Series BOWS Section 4 Operation 4.11. Adjusting the Background Music (BGM) Level When setting the volume for the first time on the system the main amplifier gain should be set before adjusting the BGM LEVEL. Using some background music to test, Set the pot labelled ‘BGM LEVEL’ (Figure 4-1) to the lowest level (furthest point counter clockwise).
