INX
Description
Intelligent Network Transponder
The Gamewell-FCI, INX Intelligent Network Transponder
serves as the point of distribution for the system’s audio
and fire fighter telephone risers. It is a component of the
following systems.

E3 Series® Expandable Emergency Evacuation System
E3 Series Combined Fire and Mass Notification System
E3 Series Broadband Audio Evacuation System
The INX occupies a single node on the E3 Broadband net-
work 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 net-
work up to a maximum distance of 3,000 feet (914.4 m) or up
to an 8 dB loss using a fiber-optic cable. Built-in isolation at
each node permits Style 4, Style 6, and Style 7 network
configurations.

Listed under UL® Standard 864, 9th Edition.
Listed under UL Standard UL2572 for Mass Notification.
The E3 Broadband Audio Evacuation System is a peer-to-
peer, self-regenerating, token ring network comprised of up
to 64 individual nodes. In addition, the Addressable Node
Expander (ANX) board expands the network to 122 nodes.
Offers all communication signals and control-by-event
sequences over two wires or fiber-optic cable including:
audio evacuation, voice paging, fire fighter intercom,
and building control signals.
Integrates with INCC command centers and additional
INX transponders to create a complete audio
evacuation system with up to 122 nodes.
Distributed architecture, including Style 7 wiring config-
urations, allow system components to continue normal
operation with NO loss of function during single line
fault conditions.
Uses state-of-the-art digital signal processor (DSP)
technology for efficient audio compression and filtering.
Software-programmable multi-channel digital audio
applications.
The E3 Broadband employs proven technology and
extends it to accomplish emergency voice evacuation, 2-
way fire fighter communications, and building control appli-
cations. It is unique in the industry since it requires 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 sig-
nals. This system provides a 16 message capacity with up
to a 3 minute duration per INX. Messages are easily field-
configurable with a laptop computer

A typical INX assembly consists of the following:
•
an Intelligent Network Interface-Voice Gateway
•
One Style 4 signaling line circuit (SLC) supporting up to
32 addressable speaker circuits (AOM-2SF used for sin-
gle channel circuits and 16 addressable phones circuits
AOM-TELF).
(INI-VGX) module
a PM-9/PM-9G power supply
up to 4 AM-50 Series amplifiers including a minimum of
one backup amplifier
•
•
•
•
Up to 150 watts of audio power provided by the AM-50
Series amplifiers with an 50 watts of standby amplifier
enclosed in a single, compact wall-mounted cabinet.
Each AM-50 Series amplifier provides two individually
activated speaker circuits supplying 50 watts total.
It is enclosed in a compact 19” enclosure capable of
accommodating up to 12 A/H size batteries. The modular
approach of the E3 Broadband greatly simplifies the design
and the installation and allows the complete flexibility in ret-
rofit or add-on situations. This system is ideal for a wide
range of complex system applications including high-rise or
campus installations.
