Setting the Address

Use the table below to set the desired address on the AMG-1. To set a switch "ON," push the rocker down in
the ON position. When only one AMG is present, use Address 32.

Address 32 Address 31 Address 30 Address 29

or Address 28* or Address 27* or Address 26* or Address 25*

Address Switch ON ON OFF OFF

Address Switch ON OFF ON OFF

*Italics denote setting the address for an AMG-1 with an AMG-X4 EPROM installed.

Selecting Group Functions

Operation of the various tones and messages available in a voice alarm application is dependent upon the type
and number of ROM chips installed and the functional groups selected by DIP switch settings on the AMG-1.
Group selection is accomplished by setting DIP switch positions 6, 7 and 8 on the AMG-1. See the AMG-1 Group
Function Tables (Tables 3-1 and 3-2).

Factory Messages *
With VROM-(n) chips installed, a factory-programmed message can be selected. For example, VROM-101
provides the following message in a male voice.

"MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! THERE HAS BEEN A
FIRE REPORTED ON YOUR FLOOR. THERE HAS BEEN A FIRE REPORTED ON YOUR FLOOR. PLEASE
PROCEED TO THE STAIRWAYS AND EXIT THE BUILDING. DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS."

Custom Messages * (with VRAM chips installed)

Custom user messages can be recorded either through the microphone on the AMG-1 or by downloading the
message from a standard audio cassette recorder through the low-level input connector on the AMG-1. DIP
switch positions 4 and 5 are used for this purpose.

1) Set the respective VRAM Enable switch "ON."

VRAM Enable A (VRAM "A" installed)
2) Record or download the message, up to 24 seconds.
VRAM Enable B (VRAM "B" installed)
3) Set the respective VRAM Enable switch "OFF."

* Note: If a digitally-stored voice message fails, the AMG-1 will automati-

cally switch to the primary evacuation tone, and will generate a trouble condition.

Selecting ALL CALL

Pressing the ALL CALL switch will activate all speaker circuits programmed with software type "SPKR." In dual-
channel systems, the signal generated by the particular AMG-1 on which the ALL CALL button has been pressed
will immediately go out across both channels.

AM2020 AMG Programming

During programming of the AM2020/AFP1010 (and after the installation of any AMG-1s), each AMG-1 must be
programmed as if they were annunciators. The address is set on the AMG-1 (25-32) and must correspond to
the programmed annunciator address. Note: All speaker circuits must be programmed with software type "SPKR." When
an FFT-7 is used, it must be attached to an AMG at Address 32.

AMG-1 and the ACM-16AT
Set the address of the AMG-1 Audio Message Generator via DIP switches 2 and 3. This address can only be
set for 29-32 for a standard AMG-1 or 25-28 for an AMG-1 with an AMG-X4 EPROM installed. The highest
possible address setting is recommended. This allows the AMG-1 functions to assume the first four points on
an ACM-16AT set to address "1." Up to eight AMG-1s may be installed in an AM2020/AFP1010 system.
For AMG-1s set in the address range A29-A32:

The special Boston Code, which appears on the following two pages, will function as follows:
1) Pause.
2) All Call is initiated.
3) One round of Code Four (four pulses of a 900 Hz tone followed by a 1 second pause).
4) VROM B (VROM-109) is played three times.
5) All Call is deactivated.
5) Fifteen second pause.
6) Continuous Temporal.

Note 1: Using the supplied cable, connect the "EARTH" ground terminal of each ACT-1 to terminal P8-10 on the AA-100/AA-100E or AA-
120/AA-120E or to a screw on the upper left corner of the AA-30/AA-30E. The "COM" terminal is intended for optional shielding
of the secondary side of the ACT-1 (the low level audio from the ACT-1 through each of the amplifiers). If this shield is desired,
connect to the common of the local power supply (do not, at any point connect the shield from the primary side of the ACT-1).
Note 2: The secondary side of the ACT-1 (low-level audio) may be daisy chained to a maximum of eight audio amplifiers.
Note 3: Additional low-level audio risers, isolated from the main riser, may be drawn from this point.
Note 4: 3 This symbol denotes a local common, in this case for supply number three.
Note 5: A maximum of seven ACT-1 Audio Coupling Transformers may be connected to the AMG or VTG (primary side). The number of
