INX Network Audio Transponder

INX
Description
Intelligent Network Transponder
The Gamewell-FCI, INX Intelligent Network Transponder
serves as the point of distribution for the system’s audio
and fire fighter telephone risers. It is a component of the
following systems.
• E3 Series® Expandable Emergency Evacuation System
• E3 Series Combined Fire and Mass Notification System
• E3 Series Broadband Audio Evacuation System
The INX occupies a single node on the E3 Broadband network and is connected by a single pair of unshielded,
twisted wires, fiber-optic cable or any combination of the
two. Each E3 Broadband node can be spaced on the network up to a maximum distance of 3,000 feet (914.4 m) or up
to an 8 dB loss using a fiber-optic cable. Built-in isolation at
each node permits Style 4, Style 6, and Style 7 network
configurations.
The E3 Broadband Audio Evacuation System is a peer-topeer, self-regenerating, token ring network comprised of up
to 64 individual nodes. In addition, the Addressable Node
Expander (ANX) board expands the network to 122 nodes.
The E3 Broadband employs proven technology and
extends it to accomplish emergency voice evacuation, 2way fire fighter communications, and building control applications. It is unique in the industry since it requires only a
single pair of wires or fiber-optic cable connections
between nodes to convey all fire alarm, digital voice, fire
fighter communications, paging, and building control signals. This system provides a 16 message capacity with up
to a 3 minute duration per INX. Messages are easily fieldconfigurable with a laptop computer
A typical INX assembly consists of the following:
• an Intelligent Network Interface-Voice Gateway
(INI-VGX) module
• a PM-9/PM-9G power supply
• up to 4 AM-50 Series amplifiers including a minimum of
one backup amplifier
It is enclosed in a compact 19” enclosure capable of
accommodating up to 12 A/H size batteries. The modular
approach of the E3 Broadband greatly simplifies the design
and the installation and allows the complete flexibility in retrofit or add-on situations. This system is ideal for a wide
range of complex system applications including high-rise or
campus installations.

Figure 1 INI-VGX
INI-VGX
The INI-VGX is a multi-function module which incorporates
the following:
• Network interface using twisted, unshielded wire or
fiber-optic cable.
• Fully digital message generator.
• One signaling line circuit for local peripheral devices.
• Local fire fighter phone riser.
It occupies a single DIP switch selectable address on the
network and provides termination points for the network
connection using either a pair of twisted, non-shielded wire
(12 AWG max.) or fiber-optic cable.
The INI-VGX uses advanced Digital Signal Processing
(DSP) technology for audio compression and filtering
allowing E3 Broadband to produce the clearest audio possible. Background noise is automatically filtered during
voice paging and fire fighter communications which
increase audibility and eliminates the need for the Push-toTalk devices.
The INI-VGX can accommodate up to 16 different messages with a total combined duration of three minutes.
Each message can be field installed via a laptop computer
and the messages can be in the form of a voice message
or an evacuation tone. The INI-VGX provides a fire fighter
phone riser that would connect to phone jacks or warden
stations through AOM-TELF modules.
Figure 2 AM-50 Series Amplifiers
AM-50 Series Amplifiers
The AM-50 Series amplifiers offer 2 types of AM-50 Series
amplifiers:
• AM-50-25 amplifier produces a 25VRMS audio output
• AM-50-70 amplifier produces a 70.7VRMS audio output
The AM-50 Series amplifiers are a component of the following systems.
• E3 Series, Expandable Emergency Evacuation System
• E3 Series Combined Fire and Mass Notification System
• E3 Broadband Audio Evacuation System
Both AM-50 Series amplifiers produce 50 watt, digital,
switching power. As many as four AM-50 Series amplifier
modules can be installed in each INX CAB-B cabinet and
are supervised and controlled by an INI-VGX Voice Gateway.
Each AM-50 Series amplifier provides two speaker circuits
that can be wired Style Y (Class “B”) or Style Z (Class “A”).
The terminal connections can accommodate up to 12
AWG, twisted-pair, shielded wire. Both speaker circuits can
produce a combined 50 watt power that can be divided
between the two integral Class A/B speaker circuits. The 2
speaker circuits may be individually activated and supervised by an INI-VGX Voice Gateway.
The AM-50 Series amplifiers may be installed in an INX
CAB-B cabinet or an INCC command center using the
expander plates whenever the E3 control panel is used in
conjunction with the E3 Series®, Expandable Emergency
Evacuation System.
The INI-VGX provides one Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) to
control and supervise Addressable Output Modules (AOM)
serving as speaker circuits and fire fighter telephone circuits. The INI-VGX SLC can support up to 32 speaker circuits using the AOM-2SF for single channel applications. In
addition, each INI-VGX SLC can support up to 16 fire
fighter intercom circuits using the AOM-TELF.
