Product Details
The ANS series from Edwards represents high-performance audio notification systems designed to deliver voice evacuation capabilities that satisfy the emergency voice alarm requirements outlined in NFPA 72 for UL-listed fire alarm applications. Available in 25, 50, or 70 watt models, ANS panels consist of an amplifier, tone generator, digital message repeater (DMR), and supervisory interface. These self-contained systems provide robust field-configurable features and are complemented by a wide range of accessory equipment, ensuring flexibility and reliable performance for both new and retrofit installations. Expander panels and modules enhance the ANS system's capacity to accommodate demanding audio applications, while accessory options, including zone switchers and remote microphones, offer advanced functionalities at a cost-effective price point. ANS systems are particularly well-suited for integration with Edwards QuickStart and FireShield fire alarm control panels when emergency voice alarm service is necessary. Notably, all ANS systems are compatible with Edwards signaling's Genesis line, which features field-configurable speakers and speaker-strobes for a polished look in any voice audio application. Key features include compliance with NFPA 72 emergency voice alarm requirements, clean dead-front construction, integrated digital message repeater with a four-minute message capacity, field-selectable options for either 25 or 70 VRMS speakers, a 120 VAC power supply along with a battery charger, paging microphone that overrides messages and tones, high reliability with low maintenance needs, full supervision, UL listing, straightforward installation and operation, built-in alarm and alert signals, and a 24-hour backup supported by two 12 V, 7 AH batteries.
