INI-VG Series Description The INI-VG Series (Intelligent Network Interface-Voice Gateway) is an audio network interface that provides the connection for the remote microphone, fire fighter telephone, one signaling line circuit. In addition, it supports the connection for one NGA, and includes the following subassemblies: • INI-VGC • INI-VGE • INI-VGX The INI-VG Series is used in the following E3 Series Systems. • E3 Series® Expandable Emergency Evacuation System • E3 Series Combined Fire and Mass Notification System • E3 Broadband Audio Evacuation System INI-VG Series Command Center Voice Gateway INI-VG Series Features The INI-VG Series include the following features: INI-VGC The INI-VGC Voice Gateway Module provides command and control functions for the INCC Command Center. The INCC serves as the point of interface between an operator and the system’s audio evacuation, fire fighter intercom, and building control circuits. A typical INCC assembly consists of an Intelligent Network Interface-Voice Gateway (INI-VGC) Module and one or more Addressable Switch Modules (ASM-16). Each INIVGC can support up to 16 ANU-48 LED Driver Modules or ASM-16s for a total of 256 fully programmable switches and 768 LEDs (red, yellow, and green). The INI-VGC occupies a single node on the E3 Broadband network and it is connected by a single pair of twisted, unshielded wire, fiber-optic cable or any combination of the two. The INI-VGC-UTP is not equipped with fiber-optic connectors. The INCC Command Center’s INI-VGC module also provides connections for an optional emergency voice page microphone and a fire fighter telephone handset. • Listed under UL® Standard 864, 9th Edition • Listed under UL Standard UL2572 for Mass Notification • All communication signals and control-by-event sequences over twisted, unshielded pair of wires or fiber-optic cable • Distributed architecture, including Style 7 wiring configuration, allows system components to continue normal operation with NO loss of function during single line fault conditions • Each INI-VGC or INI-VGE supports up to six ANU-48 LED drivers or ASM-16 switch modules for a total of 256 switches • INI-VGC connects to a voice page microphone and fire fighter’s handset • Redundant command centers with microphone and fire fighter’s handset easily configured by adding INCCs • Uses advanced digital signal processor (DSP) technology for efficient audio compression and filtering • Network data transfer rate at 625K baud • The INI-VGX includes the following features: The INI-VGC is a fully digital voice/tone generator using state-of-the-art Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology to produce the clearest, most audible signal possible. The INI-VGC provides an output to a local speaker for message verification and testing. 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. Each E3 Broadband node can be spaced on the network at a maximum distance of 3,000 feet (914.4 m) or up to an 8dB loss using fiber-optic cable. Built-in isolation at each node supports Style 4, 6, and 7 network configurations. - Software-programmable multi-channel digital audio applications - One Style 4 Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) supporting up to 32 addressable speaker circuits - AOM-2SF used for single channel and 16 address able phone circuits (AOM-TELF) - Supports up to 150 watts of audio power (using the AM-50 Series amplifiers operating at 50 watts of power @ either 25VRMS or 70.7VRMS output) installed in a single, wall-mounted cabinet - 16 message capacity with up to 3 minute duration per INX and messages are easily field-configured via a laptop computer SIGNALING FM ® E3 Series is a registered trademark of Honeywell International Inc.

Description (Continued) Specifications INI-VGE INI-VGC, INI-VGE and INI-VGX The INI-VGE Voice Gateway Module provides command and control functions for the INCC Command Center. It provides bulk amplification. A typical INCC assembly consists of an Intelligent Network Interface-Voice Gateway (INI-VGE) Module and one or more Addressable Switch Modules (ASM-16). Each INI-VGE can support up to six ASM-16s for a total of 96 fully programmable switches and 288 LEDs (red, yellow, and green). The INI-VGE occupies a single node on the E3 Classic network and is connected by a single pair of twisted, unshielded wire, fiber-optic cable or any combination of the two. The INI-VGE-UTP is not equipped with the fiber-optic connectors. The INCC Command Center’s INI-VGE Module also provides connections for an optional emergency voice paging microphone as well as a fire fighter telephone handset. The INI-VGE is a fully digital voice/tone generator using state-of-the-art Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology to produce the clearest, most audible signal possible. The INI-VGE provides an output capable of driving up to 20 Model AA-100 or AA-120 amplifiers. INI-VGX The INI-VGX Transponder Voice Gateway is a component of the E3 Broadband Audio Evacuation System and an optional component of the E3 Series Expandable Emergency Evacuation System. It is a multi-function module that incorporates: Operating Voltage: 24 VDC (nominal) from the PM-9/PM9G Power Supply Operating Current: 0.150 amp. supervisory and alarm Operating 32° to 120° F (0 to 49° C) Temperature: Relative Humidity: 0 to 93% (non-condensing) Supervised Class 2 Power-Limited Protocol: Asynchronous with half-duplex data flow Speed: RS-232 up to 64 KBps RS-485 up to 128 KBps Wiring Specifications (INI-VG Series & INI-VG-UTP Series): Copper Wire: 16 to 18 AWG twisted-pair, unshielded. Up to 3,000 ft. (914.4 m) between each node. Fiber-Optic Cable Up to 200 microns (optimized for 62.5/125 microns). Up to 8 dB loss (INI-VG Series): between each node. Ordering Information Part Number • 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 INI-VGC INI-VGC-UTP 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.) fiber-optic cable, or a combination of the two. The INI-VGX-UTP is not equipped with fiber-optic connectors. INI-VGE The INI-VGX provides command and control for up to four AM-50 Series amplifiers, operating at 50 watts of power @ either 25VRMS or 70.7VRMS audio output. The amplifiers are installed in a single cabinet. The INI-VGX uses advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology for audio compression and filtering. This feature allows the E3 Broadband System to produce superior clarity for intelligible LIVE voice paging. The background noise is automatically filtered during voice paging and fire fighter communications which increases the audibility and eliminates the need for Push-to-Talk devices.
