Kidde | 50W Audio Notification Expander Panel for Voice Evacuation, Gray Cabinet | ANS50XG

The ANS50XG adds 50 watts of audio power to an existing Kidde ANS2 Series voice evacuation system without duplicating the microphone, digital message repeater, or configuration already on the main panel. Drop it in the same cabinet or an adjacent enclosure, connect with the factory-supplied ribbon cable, and the system gains a full additional supervised speaker circuit.

Built for the commercial fire alarm installer

The expander panel includes its own 120 VAC power supply, battery charger, and space for two 12V gel cell batteries - so it operates independently of the main panel's power budget. Speaker output is field-selectable between 25 and 70 Vrms, and the circuit is power-limited with open and short circuit protection. UL listed (S6610) and FDNY accepted (COA 6235) for NFPA 72 emergency voice alarm applications.

System requirements

Requires a Kidde ANS2 Series main panel (ANS25, ANS50, or ANS100) as the master. The expander connects via a 14-pin ribbon cable or hardwired connections. All expander units must be mounted in the same cabinet or within the same room, with connecting wires run in conduit. Compatible with Genesis speakers and speaker-strobes.
