PRODUCT INFORMATION COVER INSTALLATION
The 3-ASU Audio Source is the primary audio component of the fire
command center. The 3-ASU provides the master paging microphone,
audio signal database, and the digital message unit. The 3-ASU is the
source of all audio signals distributed by the network. Audio sources 3-RCIC Rail Chassis Interface Card
include local and remote voice paging, firefighter's telephone paging, and
an auxiliary audio input for non-emergency paging, etc. The 3-ASU
features an integral digital voice message playback unit that can 3-ASU Audio Source Unit Cover Assembly
simultaneously provide up to 8 different audio signals. An integral audio
signal database is provided for the evacuation, alert and other functions.
3-ASU Audio Source Unit
Onboard memory is adequate for a total of 2 minutes of messages. With
Controller Board
the optional memory installed, up to 32 minutes of messages can be
stored. The audio source unit is comprised of the audio source electronics
package mounted in a chassis assembly and a cover assembly. The 3-
ASU has room to install an optional 4-space rail assembly, model 3-
CHAS4 or 3-FTCU Firefighter's Telephone Control Unit.
The 3-ASU converts and compresses the real-time audio signals to a

digital format. The eight digital signals are then combined together as a
single digital multiplex signal and distributed throughout the network. An
integral signal database may be configured with a wide selection of tones
and messages: steady, 3-3-3, electronic bell, 120 beats-per-minute, and
slow whoop. All tones are stored as digital signals within the 3-ASU. The
internal digital message/signal unit can simultanously play back up to
eight signals, as required by the system designer.

The 3-CAB series of equipment enclosure backboxes are made of
14-gauge steel and finished with a textured baked grey enamel. The
backboxes are designed for semi-flush or surface mounting. Conduit
and nail knockouts, keyhole style mounting holes, and wide wiring
troughs facilitate quick installation.
Chassis assembly design facilitates separation of power-limited and
nonpower-limited circuits inside the backbox by locating power-limited
wiring towards the front of the cabinet and nonpower-limited wiring
towards the rear.

The 3-BPS/M(-230) power supply booster module is used to provide TB1
additional power over and above the primary power supply. Up to three
additional 24 Vdc, 7.0 A power boosters may be added in each enclosure,
making a total of 28A available for both internal and external applications.
The power supply booster is comprised of two major components: the

sink assembly, which mounts on the rear of the rail chassis. Each booster
provides filtered, regulated power to power all modules connected to the
rail chassis as well as 24 Vdc for auxiliary applications. Each booster is
rated at 24 Vdc @ 7.0 A for all outputs. Two independent, power limited,
