addition or deletion of system components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that
other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50
devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified.
Introduction The 4100-1340 TFX Audio Interface module converts 10 Vrms 4100U or 4100ES analog outputs
into 0.77 Vrms signals compatible with the AUTOCALL® AMP-96 audio riser. During a TFX-
500 or TFX-800 to 4100U or 4100ES master panel migration, the TFX Audio Interface module
provides a means to retain existing AMP-96 speaker circuits.
This publication covers the installation procedure of the TFX Audio Interface module into a
4100U or 4100ES Master control panel.

Overview The 4100-1340 TFX Audio Interface Module interfaces the 4100U/4100ES Analog Audio
Controller to existing AUTOCALL TFX AMP-96 amplifiers. It provides an AMP-96 compatible
audio riser by converting the 10 Vrms audio signal from the 4100U/4100ES PDI to a 0.77 Vrms
signal. It provides a transformer coupled output that is trim pot adjustable to 0 dBm +/- 6dB. (This
module is similar to the TFX Riser Driver 2 board).

Wiring Notes
1. All wiring to be in accordance with NEC (National Electronic Code), local authorities and
applicable notes.
2. All wiring in the audio system is Power Limited.
3. Disconnect power before servicing the system.
4. All conductors must be free of grounds.
5. The Audio Riser should be terminated at the source of the Audio Riser at the Audio Riser
Interface Card.
6. Audio Riser: Twisted shielded pair, 75 ohms maximum.
7. All wiring is supervised by the Amp96
8. Ground detection: 10 Kohm, note this is detected and reported by the AMP-96/RPS424
9. Maximum circuit voltage is 0.84Vrms

Field Wiring, Ground Fault Detection of Audio Riser
Continued The output of the riser driver transformer is referenced to DC common of the power supply that is
used to power the amplifier system. Because the riser is referenced to DC common, ground fault
detection of the audio riser is possible.
Only one power supply used in the system with same DC common should have ground fault
monitoring enabled. If the other power supplies are used in a system with the same DC common
wired together, their ground fault circuits should be disabled for proper ground fault detection.
Audio Level Calibration
The Audio Riser requires calibration so that the level of the audio signal at the end of the Audio
Riser is 0dBm (0.77Vrms). To achieve this, follow the following steps:
1. At the originating point of the Audio Riser, place the calibration potentiometer to midrange.
2. Make sure the 4100U/4100ES Analog Audio controller is playing the 1KHz supervision tone.
3. Ensure that the Audio Riser is properly terminated. Measure the audio.
4. The end of the Audio Riser is the last AMP-96 Amplifier connected to the riser.
• For 1-10 AMP-96 Amplifiers connected to the riser, use the 750 Ohm (P/N 976448)
termination resistor.
• For 11-20 AMP-96 Amplifiers connected to the riser, use the 4.7k Ohm (P/N 976449)
termination resistor.
• For 21-25 AMP-96 Amplifiers connected to the riser, no termination resistor is required.
5. Measure the riser signal level at the end of the riser (or riser subsection) by measuring the AC
voltage at terminals TB2-1 and TB2-2 of the AMP-96 Amplifier or at the TB1-1 and TB1-2 or
TB2-1 and TB2-2 of the CS2 Channel Select Board.
6. Adjust the RISER GAIN potentiometer R1, on the Audio Interface board so that the voltage
measured at the end of the riser is 0.77VRMS (+/- 0.07V).
