Product Details
The ANS series of products from Edwards are high-performance audio notification systems designed to provide voice evacuation capability that meets the emergency voice alarm requirements of NFPA 72 for UL listed fire alarm applications. The ANS panels, available in 25, 50, or 70 watt models, include an amplifier, tone generator, digital message repeater (DMR), and supervisory interface. These self-contained systems feature robust field-configurable attributes and are supported by a wide range of accessory equipment, providing application flexibility and reliable performance for both new and retrofit installations. Expander panels and modules extend the range of the ANS system to accommodate demanding audio applications, while accessories such as zone switchers and remote microphones offer sophisticated capabilities typical of high-end systems. The ANS systems are particularly suited for use with Edwards QuickStart and Fireshield fire alarm control panels when emergency voice alarm service is required. Key features include clean dead-front construction, an integrated digital message repeater with a four-minute message capacity, field selectable for either 25 or 70 VRMS speakers, and a built-in power supply with a battery charger. The systems also allow for paging microphone overrides for messages and tones, are characterized by high reliability and low maintenance, fully supervised, UL listed, and offer easy installation, operation, and configuration. Additionally, they include built-in alarm and alert signals and provide 24-hour backup with two 12 V, 7 AH batteries.
