12.4. Connections to the Automatic Fire Alarm Systems

By connecting the emergency PA system to an automatic fire alarm system, voice alarms can be
automatically provided as soon as the PA system receives a fire signal from a fire detector. It must be seen to
that the floor signal lines (EL) are connected to the junction panel terminals of their corresponding floors.
Because fire confirmation signals (EF) are also important to automatic broadcast, connect their cables
properly.

When sounding a zone sound device ("zone bell" herein) simultaneously with the activation of the automatic
fire alarm system, connect the zone bell stop signal (EB1) lines to both the fire alarm system and PA system
in order to stop the zone bell during voice alarm broadcast (except the second signal) or microphone
announcement. Also, when using emergency guidance panels of the type that sounds a guidance tone,
connect the EB terminal (EB2) so that the guidance tone is disabled during voice alarm broadcast or
microphone announcement.

Only the floor signal lines are connected to the Expansion Junction Panel JP-039.

Notes
• Each contact of the automatic fire alarm system must be a no-voltage make contact with a contact capacity

of 30 VDC/200 mA or more.

• EB1 and EB2 are independent contacts and are exactly the same in operation timing.
• The line resistance of wiring between automatic fire alarm system and amplifier must be less than 50

Ω.
