The Audio Input Card
Overview The 4100-1240 Audio Input Card is an adjunct card to both versions of the audio controller card.
It provides the audio controller with the following:
• Four additional input channels for live audio (analog signals).
• Two sets of four analog multiplexers for selection between any one of the card’s four inputs.
Up to two of these four signals can be routed from the input card to the controller at any
given time.
The audio input card does not have any on-board intelligence, but instead is controlled by the
audio controller card. Up to two audio input cards can be controlled by the audio controller card.

Configuring the Audio Input Card
Jumpers P1 through P10 are used to configure the input levels and/or input type for each of the
four audio inputs. Default settings have all jumpers set to positions 1-2, which configure the card
as follows:
• Inputs 1 and 2 set for 70 VRMS
• Inputs 3 and 4 set for Line level inputs (All jumpers set for 1-2).
Refer to Table 2, below, to change any of the jumper settings. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of
each jumper.

Notes:
• N/A indicates that the input voltage level or input type shown is not supported by that
input.
• The jumpers for inputs 3 and 4 should be treated as sets. For example, P3, 5, 6 and
9 should always be in the same position as each other (P4, 7, 8 and 10 also act as a
set).

Installing the Audio Input Card into an Expansion Bay
The audio input card is designed to be mounted on the PDI in an expansion bay. The card should
be mounted to the immediate right of the audio controller card. If there are two audio input cards,
mount them to the two PDI connectors to the immediate right of the audio controller.

Audio Card Connections
Overview This section describes how the audio controller card should be connected via a harness to the
audio controller. Refer to Fire Alarm System Digital/Analog Audio Controller Installation
Instructions (579-159) for field wiring.
Connecting to the The audio input card must connect to the audio controller using the 734-048 Harness.
Audio Controller
Connect the harness from P11 on the audio input card to one of two inputs on the audio controller,
depending on which is free:
• P9 or P10 on the analog audio controller
• P6 or P4 on the digital audio controller
