INX
Intelligent Network Transponder
Description
The INX Intelligent Network Transponder is a
component of the E3 Series™ Expandable
Emergency Evacuation System and E3 Series™
Broadband Audio Evacuation System. The INX
transponder serves as the point of distribution for
the system’s audio and fire fighter telephone risers.
The INX occupies a single node on the E3 Broad-
band network and is connected by a single pair of
unshielded, twisted wires, fiber-optic cable or any
combination of the two. Each E3 Broadband node
can be spaced on the network a maximum distance
of 3,000 feet (914.4 m) or up to a 8 dB loss using
fiber-optic cable. Built-in isolation at each node
permits Style 4, Style 6, and Style 7 network
configurations.
The E3 Broadband Audio Evacuation System is a
peer-to-peer, self-regenerating, token ring network
comprised of up to sixty-four (64), individual nodes.
E3 Broadband employs proven technology and
extends it to accomplish emergency voice evacua-
tion, 2-way Fire Fighter communications, and build-
ing control applications. It is unique in the industry
in requiring only a single pair of wires or fiber-optic
cable connections between nodes to convey all fire
alarm, digital voice, fire fighter communications,
paging, and building control signals. This system
provides a 16 message capacity with up to a 3 min-
ute duration per INX. Messages are easily field-
configurable with a laptop computer.
A typical INX assembly consists of an Intelligent
Network Interface-Voice Gateway (INI-VGX)
module, a PM-9 power supply, and can
accommodate up to four (4), AM-50 amplifiers
including a minimum of one (1) backup amplifier. It
is enclosed in a compact 19” enclosure capable of
accommodating up to 12 A/H size batteries. The
modular approach of E3 Broadband greatly
simplifies design and installation and allows
complete flexibility in retrofit or add-on situations.
This system is ideal for a wide range of complex

Figure 1 INI-VGX
INI-VGX
The INI-VGX is a multi-function module which
incorporates:
•
Network interface using twisted, unshielded wire
or fiber-optic cable.
•
Fully digital message generator.
•
One signaling line circuit for local peripheral
devices.
•
Local fire fighter phone riser.
It occupies a single DIP switch selectable address
on the network and provides termination points for
the network connection using either a pair of
twisted, non-shielded wire (12 AWG max.) or fiber-
optic cable.
The INI-VGX uses advanced Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) technology for audio
compression and filtering allowing E3 Broadband to
produce the clearest audio possible. Background
noise is automatically filtered during voice paging
and fire fighter communications increasing
audibility and eliminating the need for Push-to-Talk
devices.
The INI-VGX can accommodate up to sixteen (16),
different messages with a total combined duration
of three minutes. Each message can be field
installed via a laptop computer and can be in the
form of a voice message or an evacuation tone.
The INI-VGX provides a fire fighter phone riser that
would connect to phone jacks or warden stations
through AOM-TELF modules.
The INI-VGX provides one (1) Signaling Line
Circuit (SLC) to control and supervise Addressable
Output Modules (AOM) serving as speaker circuits
and fire fighter telephone circuits. The INI-VGX
SLC can support up to thirty-two (32), speaker
circuits using the AOM-MUXF for dual channel
applications. In addition, each INI-VGX SLC can
support up to sixteen (16), fire fighter intercom
circuits using the AOM-MUXF.
Figure 2 AM-50
AM-50
The AM-50 is a 50 watt, digital, switching power
amplifier. As many as four (4), AM-50 amplifier
modules can be installed in each INX cabinet.
Each AM-50 provides two (2) speaker circuits that
can be wired Style Y (Class “B”) or Style Z (Class
“A”). The terminal connections can accommodate
up to 12 AWG, twisted, shielded wire. Each circuit
can provide up to 50 watts of power individually or
divide the total 50 watts available between them in
any combination. Each circuit may be individually
activated.
Each AM-50 can be programmed to respond to any
one of 16 messages generated from its local
INI-VGX or individually selected for network voice
paging.
The four (4) amplifiers that can be installed in the
INX can be configured as three (3) main amplifiers
sharing a common standby amplifier or as two (2),
main amplifiers each with its own backup amplifier.
Figure 3 PM-9
PM-9
The PM-9 is a switching power supply that provides
9 amps of filtered and regulated 24 VDC (nominal)
to power the INX transponder. It has an internal
battery charging circuit capable of accommodating
up to 55 A/H batteries as well as an auxiliary 24
VDC output @ 3 amps max.
