ECC-125DA Remote Amplifier Installation
2.1.4 Speaker Wiring
Each ECC-125DA supplies four NAC (Notification Appliance Circuit) for speaker connection. The
speaker circuit can be supervised and wired Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z). Speaker circuit
1 is capable of 100 watts of power at 25 Vrms. Speaker circuit 2-4 are capable of 50 watts (each) at
25 Vrms.
