Introduction to Flex amplifiers
Overview
The Flex amplifiers provide audio signals to system speaker circuits. The Flex Amplifier is offered in two versions, the Flex-35 and the Flex-50.
Functionally, both amplifiers behave identically but the Flex-50 is capable of supplying an additional 15W of power over the 35W version. The maximum
available output from the Flex-50 and Flex-35 is 50W and 35W, respectively. The load may be configured in any way so long as the maximum power
output limit is not exceeded. Both amplifiers provide dual-channel capability with internal backup functionality. (All Flex Amplifiers described in this
publication are listed in the next two sections.)

Setting the Baud Rate and Address
Overview
This section describes how to configure the amplifier’s baud rate and address using DIP switch SW1. Configuration is the same for analog and digital
amplifiers.
Using DIP Switch SW1
The device baud rate and address is set via DIP switch SW1, which is a bank of eight switches. From left to right (see Figure 3) these switches are
designated as SW1-1 through SW1-8. The function of these switches is as follows:
• SW1-1. This switch sets the baud rate for the internal communications line running between the card and the CPU. Set this switch to ON.
• SW1-2 through SW1-8. These switches set the card’s address within the FACP. Refer to Figure 4 for a complete list of the switch settings for all
of the possible card addresses.
Note:
• You must set these switches to the value assigned to the card by the Programmer.
• The SW1 setting applies to audio controller slaves, including audio input cards.

Installing the Amplifier onto the PDI
Overview
The Flex amplifier assembly mounts on the PDI in an expansion bay. Up to two Flex Amplifiers may receive power from an ES Power Supply (XPS in
legacy systems). If two Flex Amplifiers receive power from one ES-PS, then the ES-PS is solely dedicated to providing power for the Flex Amplifiers and
cannot be used for supplying any other modules or I/O wiring off of the ES-PS I/O terminals.
If the ES-PS is providing power for one Flex Amplifier, see Figure 5 for mounting placement. If the ES-PS is providing power for two Flex Amplifiers, see
Figure 6 for mounting placement.

Lower the amplifier into the bay by placing the two tabs on the back of the amplifier assembly into the two slots on the bottom of the bay. Then, use
the connector on the backside of the Flex module to connect to the PDI as shown in Figure 7 below.

Amplifier Field Wiring
Overview
This section contains field wiring guidelines and illustrations for the amplifiers. These diagrams apply to both the Flex-35 and Flex-50. Wiring of optional
NAC Expansion, Class A, and Constant Supervision NAC (CSNAC) modules is also covered in this section, as well as speaker circuit wiring distances.
Since the Flex amplifiers allow self-backing operation, no wiring is required for configuring an amplifier for backup operation.
Note: TrueAlert ES speaker appliances have a maximum wire length. Refer to the Speaker Wiring Application. Guidelines in the ES Power Supply IDNAC
Card Installation Instructions, 579-1289 (for legacy EPS installations, see 579-1015 )
Note: “Applied Power” is the total amplifier power available to the speaker circuit. Applied power is consumed by speakers and wiring losses. “Actual
Power” is the speaker power available over the maximum distances designated for each wire size. Complying with the wire sizes and associated
distances specified will ensure no more than a 3dB wiring power loss to the end of the speaker circuit.

Class B Wiring
Note: For guidance regarding proper wiring practice when using TrueAlert ES speaker appliances, refer to the Speaker Wiring Application Guidelines in
the ES-Power supply IDNAC card installation instruction, 579-1289 (for legacy EPS installations, see 579-1015).
• Leave the 10 K, 1/2 W resistors (378-030; brown/black/orange) on the “B+” to “B-” terminals of unused circuits.
• All wiring is between 18 AWG (0.8231 mm2) and 12 AWG (3.309 mm2).
• Field wiring is supervised and power-limited.
• Total available Flex-50 power is 50 W (2A @ 25 VRMS, 0.707A @70.7 VRMS).
• Total available Flex-35 power is 35 W (1.4A @ 25VRMS, 0.5A @70.7 VRMS).
• NACs and power stages can be configured for any combination of circuits as long as the total output power does not exceed the maximum
specified rating.
Flex-35 Examples: 25 W to PS1 + 10 W to PS2, 0 W to PS1 + 35 W to PS2*
Flex-50 Examples: 25 W to PS1 + 25 W to PS2, 40 W to PS1 + 10 W to PS2
*This is an example of a self-backing configuration. PS1 is not loaded, but is saved for backup should PS2 fail.
