Product Details
The ANS series of products from Edwards are high-performance audio notification systems that provide voice evacuation capability, complying with the emergency voice alarm requirements of NFPA 72 for UL listed fire alarm applications. The ANS panels come in 25, 50, or 70 watt models and include an amplifier, tone generator, digital message repeater (DMR), and supervisory interface. These self-contained systems feature robust field-configurable options and are compatible with accessory equipment, which extends their application flexibility and performance for both new and retrofit installations. Expander panels and modules meet the needs of demanding audio applications, while additional equipment such as zone switchers and remote microphones enhance the sophistication of the systems. The ANS systems are particularly effective when used with Edwards QuickStart and FireShield fire alarm control panels for emergency voice alarm service. They integrate seamlessly with Edwards signaling's Genesis line of field-configurable speakers and speaker-strobes, offering a clean and attractive design for any audio application. Key features include compliance with NFPA 72 requirements, clean dead-front construction, an integrated digital message repeater with a four-minute message capacity, field selection for either 25 or 70 VRMS speakers, a 120 VAC power supply with a battery charger, paging microphone capabilities that override messages and tones, high reliability with low maintenance, full supervision, easy installation and configuration, built-in alarm and alert signals, and 24-hour backup provided by two 12 V, 7 AH batteries.
