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. This series includes ANS panels in 25, 50, or 70 watt models, featuring an amplifier, tone generator, digital message repeater (DMR), and supervisory interface. These self-contained systems boast robust field-configurable attributes and are supported by various accessory equipment for enhanced application flexibility and reliable performance in both new and retrofit installations. Expander panels and modules extend the ANS system's range to accommodate demanding audio applications, while additional accessories such as zone switchers and remote microphones provide sophisticated options at a lower cost. ANS systems are particularly suited for use with Edwards QuickStart and FireShield fire alarm control panels when emergency voice alarm service is necessary. All ANS systems are compatible with Edwards signaling's Genesis line of field-configurable speakers and speaker-strobes, which deliver a clean and attractive appearance for any voice audio application. The standard features include compliance with NFPA 72 requirements, a clean dead-front construction, an integrated digital message repeater with a four-minute message capacity, models available in 25, 50, or 70 watts, field selectable speaker outputs for 25 or 70 VRMS, a 120 VAC power supply and battery charger, a paging microphone that overrides messages and tones, high reliability with low maintenance needs, complete supervision with UL listing, ease of installation and operation, built-in alarm and alert signals, compatibility with QuickStart and FireShield control panels, and 24-hour backup provided by two 12 V, 7 AH batteries.
