Information About 3-ZA20B
The 3-ZA20B is part of the EST3 amplifier series, available in both 20 W and 40 W versions, engineered for fire alarm and mass notification applications. This module supports up to eight multiplexed digital audio channels, with integrated de-multiplexing circuitry allowing selection of live paging or stored messages via system software. Mounted in the EST3 cabinet rail chassis, it requires only one LRM space and uses removable terminal blocks for simplified field wiring. In addition to its audio output, the amplifier includes an independently controlled, supervised, and power-limited 24 VDC NAC rated at 3.5 A for strobes or other visual signaling devices. Its advanced digital processing ensures high intelligibility and compliance with life safety standards.
Key Features:
- 20-Watt Output: Provides 20 W audio at selectable 25 VRMS or 70 VRMS.
- Integrated NAC Circuit: Built-in 24 VDC power-limited NAC, 3.5 A, Class B or Class A.
- Multi-Channel Support: Handles up to eight multiplexed digital audio channels.
- Digital Demultiplexing: Built-in circuitry ensures accurate channel selection via software.
- Notification Redundancy: Includes 1 kHz evacuation tone and 20 SPM alert tone backup signals.
- Compact Installation: Occupies one LRM rail space within EST3 cabinets.
- Software Controlled: Audio channel selection and supervision managed via EST3 system software.
- Field Wiring Simplicity: Removable terminal blocks for easier installation and service.
- Fault Supervision: Monitors opens, shorts, and grounds on audio and NAC circuits.
- UL/ULC Approved: Listed for fire alarm and emergency communication applications.
The 3-ZA20B provides dependable, digitally controlled audio distribution for life safety systems.
