Redback® A 4595A School Lockdown Controller
3.2 AUDIO CONNECTIONS
Audio Output:
This output consists of stereo RCA sockets with an output of 0dBm into a 600Ω input. This is suitable for most PA
amplier auxiliary inputs. The output level is adjusted via the Master volume trimpot on the rear of the unit. The output
level of the MP3 audio les is adjusted via the MP3 level trimpot on the rear of the unit.
Fig 3.2
3.3 24V DC OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
There are seven sets of output terminals for the connection of 24V DC driven devices. E.g School Bell, warning strobes,
override relays in volume controls etc.
Each set of output terminals have a N/O (normally open), N/C (normally closed) and a ground connection. In this
conguration 24V appears between the N/O and ground terminals when this output is activated. When this output is not
active 24V appears between the N/C and ground terminals.
(NOTE: The maximum current draw per output is about 120 milliamps, so it is advisable to run external 24V DC relays
instead of trying to drive a 24V DC device directly from these outputs. See Fig 3.3 for an example of this).
Bell/Pre Bell 24V Out:
These contacts are for operating an external relay used to operate something like a school bell.
Fig 3.3 demonstrates an example of how to connect the A 4595A Lockdown Controller to the Altronics A 1708 timer to
trigger the schools Pre-Bell and Bell .
The Zone 1 closing contact of the timer is used to trigger the school Pre-bell contact and the Zone 2 closing contact is
used to trigger the school Bell. In the example shown the Bell/Pre Bell 24V Output is used to drive a 24V school Bell.
As the current draw of the Bell is more than 120mA a relay board is used to switch an external power supply. The
Altronics S 4444 24V Relay Board as shown below or the S 4455 12/24/48V Din Rail Relay box are inexpensive and easily
installed options designed for this purpose.
Standby 24V Out:
These contacts are for switched 24V outputs whenever the Standby mode is activated. These may be used to run
external systems such as strobes in unusually noisy environments or for hearing impaired students or staff. They may also
be used for the connection of override relays in remote volume controls. An override relay is necessary where
attenuators are used so that the audio is broadcast at full volume regardless of the volume setting on the individual vol-
ume control (attenuator).

Priority or VOX muting is only
functional on inputs 1-3. When
VOX is enabled on input 1 it will
override all other inputs includ-
ing the Alert/Evac Module. VOX
enabled on input 2 will override
inputs 3-6. VOX enabled on input
3 will override inputs 4-6.
If the Alert/Evac module is tted
it will override inputs 2-6.
