Product Details
The ANS series of products from Edwards are high-performance audio notification systems that provide voice evacuation capability meeting the emergency voice alarm requirements of NFPA 72 for UL listed fire alarm applications. The ANS panels are available in 25, 50, or 70 watt models and include an amplifier, tone generator, digital message repeater (DMR), and supervisory interface. These self-contained systems offer robust field-configurable features and are supported by a wide range of accessory equipment that provides application flexibility and reliable performance for both new and retrofit installations. Expander panels and modules extend the range of the ANS system, catering to even the most demanding audio applications, while accessory equipment such as zone switchers and remote microphones enhance system sophistication. ANS systems are specifically designed for compatibility with Edwards QuickStart and Fireshield fire alarm control panels when emergency voice alarm service is required. All ANS systems are compatible with Edwards signaling's award-winning Genesis line of field-configurable speakers and speaker-strobes, ensuring a clean, attractive appearance for any voice audio application. Standard features include compliance with NFPA 72 emergency voice alarm requirements, clean dead-front construction, an integrated digital message repeater with a four-minute message capacity, and field selectability for either 25 or 70 VRMS speakers. The systems come with a 120 VAC power supply and battery charger, a paging microphone that overrides the message and tone, high reliability with low maintenance, and full supervision with UL listing. They are designed for easy installation, operation, and configuration, and include built-in alarm and alert signals. Additionally, a 24-hour backup is provided with two 12 V, 7 AH batteries.
