Series, the Crown®CTs Series offers new flexi-  
bility and value for installed sound. The Com-  
Tech Series was the first to offer independent  
selection of high- and low-impedance opera-  
tion for a specific channel, and CTs Series  
amplifiers continue that tradition, with power  
levels and features carefully chosen to perfectly  
integrate into fixed install design requirements.  
(70V/100V/140V/200V) or low-impedance  
(2/4/8 ohm) operation. No switch  
required.  
Input sensitivity is independently select-  
able for each channel. Choose low-imped-  
ance (4/8 ohm), constant-voltage (70V/  
100V/140V/200V), or 26 dB.  
TLC protection circuitry protects the  
amplifier from long-term excessive heat by  
subtly and dynamically reducing the gain  
only when necessary.

3.1 Unpack Your Amplifier  
3.2 Install Your Amplifier  
3.3 Ensure Proper Cooling  
Please unpack and inspect your amplifier for  
any damage that may have occurred during  
transit. If damage is found, notify the transpor-  
tation company immediately. Only you can ini-  
tiate a claim for shipping damage. Crown will  
be happy to help as needed. Save the shipping  
carton as evidence of damage for the shipper’s  
inspection.  
CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure  
your amplifier is disconnected from the  
power source, with power switch in the  
“off” position and all level controls  
turned completely down (counterclock-  
wise).  
When using an equipment rack, mount units  
directly on top of each other. Close any open  
spaces in rack with blank panels. DO NOT  
block front or rear air vents. The side walls of  
the rack should be a minimum of two inches  
(5.1 cm) away from the amplifier sides, and the  
back of the rack should be a minimum of four  
inches (10.2 cm) from the amplifier back panel.  
Use a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment  
rack. See Figure 3.1 for amplifier dimensions.  
We also recommend that you save all packing  
materials so you will have them if you ever  
need to transport the unit. Never ship the  
unit without the factory pack.  
Figure 3.2 illustrates standard amplifier airflow.  
You may also stack amps without using a cabi-  
net.  
NOTE: When transporting, amplifiers should be  
supported at both front and back.  
YOU WILL NEED (not supplied):  
Input wiring cables  
Output wiring cables  
Rack for mounting amplifier (or a stable surface  
for stacking)  
WARNING: Before you start to set up  
your amplifier, make sure you read and  
observe the Important Safety Instruc-  
tions found at the beginning of this

Unbalanced Input  
Connector Wiring  
1. Loosen screws inside top and bottom holes of  
cover (see Figure 3.6).  
2. Slide cover to left or right, then pull it off away  
from the amplifier.  
Crown recommends using professionally con-  
structed, high-quality, two- or four-conductor,  
heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors. You  
may use terminal forks up to 10 AWG or bare  
wire for your output connectors (see Figure 3.5).  
To prevent the possibility of short-circuits, wrap  
or otherwise insulate exposed loudspeaker cable  
connectors. For best results, Crown recom-  
mends Panduit part #PV10-10LF-L or equivalent  
terminal fork. Screw spacing is shown in Figure  
3.5.  
Using the guidelines below, select the appropri-  
ate size of wire based on the distance from  
amplifier to speaker (low-impedance loads only).

4 Operation  
4.1 Precautions  
Your amplifier is protected from internal and external  
faults, but you should still take the following precautions  
for optimum performance and safety:  
On the back panel, check whether your amplifier is labeled  
for 120V or 220-240V AC mains. Connect your amplifier  
to the corresponding AC mains power source (power out-  
let) with the supplied AC power cordset. First, connect the  
IEC end of the cordset to the IEC connector on the ampli-  
fier. Then, with the amplifier in the OFF position, plug the  
other end of the cordset into the AC mains.  
1. Before use, your amplifier first must be configured for  
proper operation, including input and output wiring  
hookup. Improper wiring can result in serious operat-  
ing difficulties. For information on wiring and config-  
uration, please consult the Setup section of this  
manual or, for advanced setup techniques, consult  
Crown’s Amplifier Application Guide available online  
at www.crownaudio.com.  
WARNING: The third prong of this connector  
(ground) is an important safety feature. Do not  
attempt to disable this ground connection by  
using an adapter or other methods.  
Amplifiers don’t create energy. The AC mains voltage and  
current must be sufficient to deliver the power you expect.  
Check the amplifier’s back-panel label which specifies the  
required AC mains voltage and frequency. The AC mains  
voltage must be no more than 15% above the required  
voltage, and no less than 25% below the required voltage.  
The AC mains frequency must be within the required fre-  
quency range. If you are unsure of the output voltage of  
your AC mains, please consult your electrician.  
2. Use care when making connections, selecting signal  
sources and controlling the output level. The load you  
save may be your own!  
3. Do not short the ground lead of an output cable to the  
input signal ground. This may form a ground loop  
and cause oscillations.  
4. Never connect the output to a power supply,  
battery or power main. Electrical shock may  
result.  
3.8 Startup Procedure  
Use the following procedure when first turning on your  
amplifier:  
5. Tampering with the circuitry, or making unauthorized  
circuit changes may be hazardous and invalidates all  
agency listings.  
1. Turn down the level of your audio source.  
2. Turn down the level controls of the amplifier.  
6. Do not operate the amplifier with the red Clip LEDs  
constantly flashing.  
3. Turn on the “Power” switch. The Power indicator  
should glow. Wait for the “Ready” LED to illuminate.  
7. Do not overdrive the mixer, which will cause clipped  
signal to be sent to the amplifier. Such signals will be  
reproduced with extreme accuracy, and loudspeaker  
damage may result.  
4. Turn up the level of your audio source to an optimum  
level.  
5. Turn up the Level controls on the amplifier until the  
desired loudness or power level is achieved. Verify  
that the Signal LED is flashing.  
8. Do not operate the amplifier with less than the rated  
load impedance. Due to the amplifier’s output protec-  
tion, such a configuration may result in premature  
clipping and speaker damage.  
6. Turn down the level of your audio source to its normal  
range.  
If you ever need to make any wiring or installation  
changes, don’t forget to turn off the amplifier and discon-  
nect the power cord.  
Remember: Crown is not liable for damage that results  
from overdriving other system components.

I. Power Indicator  
4.2 Front Panel Controls  
and Indicators  
Signal Indicators  
Blue LED indicates AC power has been  
applied and is within the safe operating  
range of the power supply. The LED will  
flash when the AC line voltage is approxi-  
mately 15% above or 25% below the nom-  
inal rated value.  
Three green LEDS per channel indicate the  
amplifier’s input and output signal levels.  
From bottom to top the LEDs are:  
A. Fault Indicator  
Red LED, one per channel, flashes when  
the amplifier output channel has stopped  
operating. Usually this means that the  
amplifier must be serviced.  
D. Signal: input signal is above –40 dBu.  
E. –20 dB: amplifier output is within 20 dB of  
clipping.  
J. Data Indicator  
Yellow LED indicates IQ Loop data activity  
This LED is driven by the IQ-PIP2 module  
via the PIP2 interface. Note: Data indicator  
flashes only when the installed PIP module  
is polled for data, or is polled to see  
whether it is online.  
F. 10 dB: amplifier output is within 10 dB of

5 Advanced Features  
and Options  
NOTE: For detailed information about  
5.1.9 Inrush Limiting  
5.1.3 Fault  
these Crown amplifier features, please  
consult the Crown Amplifier Application  
Guide, available on the Crown website  
at www.crownaudio.com  
A soft-start circuit in the power supply mini-  
mizes the amplifier’s current draw during  
power-on.  
The amplifier will light the Fault LED if the  
amplifier output stage stops operating. If this  
happens, see Section 8 for servicing informa-  
tion.  
5.1.10 Variable-speed Fans  
5.1 Protection Systems  
5.1.4 High-Pass Filters  
Two continuously variable speed fans direct the  
airflow through the amplifier for cooling.  
Your Crown amplifier provides extensive pro-  
tection and diagnostic capabilities, including  
thermal level control, fault indicators, high-  
pass filtering, DC protect, AC under/over volt-  
age protection, inrush limiting, and variable-  
speed fans.  
Very low frequency signals contain no useful  
musical energy, waste valuable amplifier power  
and headroom, and can be damaging to your  
speakers. Your Crown amplifier provides high-  
pass filters to remove these signals from each  
channel’s output.  
5.2 Advanced Features  
5.2.1 Switching Power Supply  
Crown’s Switching Power Supply minimizes  
the amplifier’s weight.  
5.1.1 Thermal Level Control (TLC)  
On the back panel are two 3-position 3rd-order  
high-pass filter switches (one per channel) with  
selections of Off, 35Hz and 70 Hz.  
Typical non-switching power supplies require  
large, heavy transformers in order to produce  
the required power at the output stage. These  
transformers must be large to operate at 50 to  
60 Hz (standard AC supplied by the power  
company).  
If the amplifier becomes too hot for safe opera-  
tion, the light will shine brightly and TLC will  
engage the input compressor. By compressing  
the input, the amplifier will not generate as  
much heat and will have a chance to cool down.  
The degree of compression is proportional to  
the amount of overheating. This feature allows  
the show to go on, rather than having the  
amplifier shut down.  
5.1.5 Low-Pass Filters  
Gaussian-approximation ultrasonic filters pre-  
vent ultrasonic feedback and HF burnout in  
drivers. This type of filter preserves transient  
reponse better than a Butterworth filter.  
By contrast, switching power supplies can  
operate with a much smaller (and lighter) trans-  
former because they first convert the AC up to a  
much higher frequency, thereby reducing  
waste.  
5.1.6 AC Under/Over Voltage  
Protection  
5.1.2 Junction Temperature Simu-  
lation (JTS) (CTs 600/1200 only)  
If the AC line voltage drops below 25% or rises  
above 15% of the nominal operating voltage of  
the amplifier, the amplifier’s power supply turns  
off and the blue Power LED flashes. The ampli-  
fier will turn back on when the AC line voltage  
returns to safe operating levels (within +15% /  
-25%).  
The power supply is voltage-specific, allowing  
use in regions using 120V or 240V.  
JTS circuitry simulates the operation of the  
amplifier’s output transistors, and compares it  
against the transistors known Safe Operation  
Area (SOA). If JTS sees that more power is  
about to be asked of the output devices than  
they are capable of delivering under the present  
conditions, JTS immediately limits the drive  
level until it falls within the SOA. Limiting is  
proportional and kept to an absolute minimum-  
only what is required to prevent the possibility  
of output transistor damage.  
5.2.2 Input Compressor  
Prevent input/output overload.  
5.2.3 Sleep Circuit  
5.1.7 Circuit Breaker  
Lowers standby power consumption by shut-  
ting down the high-voltage supplies during idle  
periods.  
A circuit breaker located near the IEC power  
inlet protects the amplifier from excessive AC  
current draw.  
NOTE: By default, the sleep circuit is not active  
on the CTs 600/1200, but may be activated as a  
service option.  
This level of protection enables Crown to  
increase output transistor utilization while also  
greatly increasing amplifier reliability.  
5.1.8 DC Output Servo  
The output servo circuit protects your drivers  
by eliminating DC offset, even in the presence  
of very large asymmetrical signals.

5.2.4 Input Sensitivity Switches  
T-170V: See Figure 5.3. This is an autoformer that  
allows 100V output from the CTs 600/1200, and  
allows other amplifiers without direct constant voltage  
output to be easily integrated into distributed systems.  
To access the Input Sensitivity Switches, turn off the amplifier and remove the  
PIP2-BBY Input Panel. The switches are in the top surface of the cavity behind the  
Input Panel. One 3-position switch per channel selects among these settings: CTs  
600/1200: 1.4V (8/4 ohms), 26 dB gain, and 1.4V (70V operation). CTs 2000/  
3000: 1.4V (8/4 ohms), 26 dB gain, and 1.4V (70V) / 2V (100V). The Specifications  
chapter lists the input sensitivity for the 26 dB gain setting.  
TP-170V: See Figure 5.4. This is a rack-mountable  
panel with four autoformers as described above.  
Figure 5.3 170V  
PIP Modules  
Versatile PIP (Programmable Input Processor) mod-  
ules provide flexible expansion features that can be  
added to customize the amplifier. PIP modules plug  
into the connector inside the back panel of the ampli-  
fier. PIP modules are available with features ranging  
from error-driven compressor/limiters to crossovers to  
IQ control. Your amplifier is a PIP2 amplifier, which  
means it can take advantage of the many advanced fea-  
tures found in PIP2 modules. The CTs Series 2-chan-  
nel models do not accept earlier PIP modules.  
Visit the Crown website at www.crownaudio.com, or  
contact Crown Customer Service, for descriptions of  
available PIP and PIP2 modules.

6 Troubleshooting  
CONDITION: Power indicator is  
off.  
CONDITION: Fault indicator is  
flashing.  
POSSIBLE REASON  
POSSIBLE REASON:  
The amplifier has lost AC power.  
The amplifier’s Power switch is off.  
The amplifier channel has stopped operat-  
ing. Refer the unit to an authorized Crown  
Service Center.  
The amplifier is not plugged into the  
power receptacle.  
The amplifier output level is so high that  
the power supply circuit breaker has  
tripped. Allow the unit to cool. Turn down  
the Level controls. Press the Reset Switch  
on the back panel.  
CONDITION: Distorted sound.  
POSSIBLE REASON:  
Load is wired incorrectly or Stereo/Mono  
mode switch is set incorrectly. Check both.  
Input is overlaoded by a signal level that is  
too high. Turn down your amplifier level  
controls, or turn down the input signal, until  
the clip light goes out.  
CONDITION: Power indicator is  
flashing.  
POSSIBLE REASON:  
Note: If the signal sounds distorted even though  
the Clip LED is off, the input signal may be dis-  
torted before it reaches the amplifier input. Check  
gain staging and output levels of the mixer or  
preamp.  
The AC line voltage has dropped below  
25% or has risen above 15% of the nomi-  
nal line voltage of the power supply.  
CONDITION: Thermal indicator is  
on.  
POSSIBLE REASON:  
The amplifier is becoming too hot for safe  
operation. Allow amplifier to cool. Check  
for loads less than 2 ohms, and for  
excessive input levels. Check for proper  
ventilation and proper mode-switch set-  
ting.  
“Off/Flashing/On” above means that  
the LED can be off, or flashing, or on.

“peanuts.” Damage caused by poor packing  
cannot be covered under warranty.  
For warranty service, we will pay for ground ship-  
ping both ways in the United States. Contact Crown  
Factory Service to obtain prepaid shipping labels  
prior to sending the unit. Or, if you prefer, you may  
prepay the cost of shipping, and Crown will reim-  
burse you. Send copies of the shipping receipts to  
Crown to receive reimbursement.  
4. Do not ship the unit in any kind of cabinet  
(wood or metal). Ignoring this warning may  
result in extensive damage to the unit and the  
cabinet. Accessories are not needed—do not  
send the product documentation, cables and  
other hardware.  
This unit has very sophisticated circuitry which  
should only be serviced by a fully trained techni-  
cian. This is one reason why each unit bears the fol-  
lowing label:  
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not  
remove covers. No user serviceable parts  
inside. Refer servicing to a qualified techni-  
cian.  
Your repaired unit will be returned via UPS ground.  
Please contact us if other arrangements are  
required.  
If you have any questions, please contact Crown

8.2.3 Factory Service Shipping  
Instructions:  
Service may be obtained from an authorized service  
center. (Contact your local Crown/Amcron repre-  
sentative or our office for a list of authorized service  
centers.) To obtain service, simply present the bill of  
sale as proof of purchase along with the defective  
unit to an authorized service center. They will handle  
the necessary paperwork and repair.  
1. Before sending a Crown product to the factory  
for service, first call the Crown Service Depart-  
ment for a return authorization (RA) number.  
Telephone: 574-294-8200  
800-342-6939 (North America,  
Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands only)  
2. Be sure to fill out the service information form  
that follows and enclose it with your shipment,  
either inside the box or in a packing slip enve-  
lope securely attached to the outside of the  
shipping carton. Do not send the service infor-  
mation form separately. If you are sending the  
unit from a Shipping Center, we recommend  
taping the form to the product. We also recom-  
mend recording the serial number and model  
before shipping for your reference.

8.2.4 Crown’s Profit Protection Plan  
Service may be obtained in one of two ways: from  
an authorized service center or from the factory. You  
may choose either. It is important that you have your  
copy of the bill of sale as your proof of purchase.  
In the United States, your CTs series amplifier is  
also covered by Crown’s advance-replacement  
Profit Protection Plan, an enhancement to Crown’s  
exceptional Three-Year, No-Fault, Full Warranty.  
Crown’s Profit Protection Plan guarantees replace-  
ment of your covered amplifier should it fail at any  
time during the original three-year warranty period  
following the date of original purchase.  
3. Keep a copy of the serial number and model.  
8.2.1 Service at a US or Canada Ser-  
vice Center  
To ensure the safe transportation of your unit to  
the factory, ship it in an original factory packing  
container. If you don’t have the original carton,  
you may obtain a product service foam-in-  
place shipping pack from Crown Factory Ser-  
vice at the number listed below. For non-war-  
ranty service, you may also provide your own  
shipping pack, however we still recommend  
using a Crown Supplied Shipping Container.  
Minimum recommended requirements for  
materials are as follows: 275 P.S.I. burst test  
Double-Wall carton that allows for 2-inch solid  
Styrofoam on all six sides of unit or 3 inches of  
plastic bubble wrap on all six sides of unit;  
securely seal the package with an adequate car-  
This method usually saves the most time and effort.  
Simply present your bill of sale along with the  
defective unit to an authorized service center to  
obtain service. They will handle the necessary  
paperwork and repair. Remember to transport the  
unit in the original factory pack. A list of authorized  
service centers in your area can be obtained from  
the Crown website at www.crownaudio.com, or by  
calling Crown Factory Service.  
Simply contact your local Crown dealer or distribu-  
tor with model and serial number information to ini-  
tiate a claim. Your dealer will supply full details on  
return procedures for the defective unit as well as  
standard and optional delivery times and methods  
for the replacement amplifier. Before any claim will  
be honored, Crown Factory Service will verify that  
there is a problem with the unit.

Addendum To Operation Manual  
Note: This addendum pertains to  
Section 3 - Setup  
Section 5 - Advanced Features and Options  
Section 9 - Service  
It is important that you review this addendum before reviewing the Operation  
Manual.  
Section 3  
With reference to the DUAL/MONO mode switch:  
Dual mode allows each amplifier channel to operate independently like a stereo amplifier.  
Installation is intuitive - input Channel 1 feeds output Channel 1 and input Channel 2 feeds  
output Channel 2. To put the amplifier into the Dual mode, turn it off, slide the DUAL/  
MONO switch to DUAL, and properly connect the output wiring.  
The MONO switch setting is the BRIDGE-MONO mode and is used to drive loads with a  
total impedance of at least 4 ohms. For distributed loudspeaker systems, 140 volts (twice the  
normal 70- volt output) is produced. To put the amplifier into the Bridge-Mono mode, turn it  
off, and slide the DUAL/MONO switch to MONO. Both outputs will receive the signal from  
Channel 1 with the output of Channel 2 inverted so it can be bridged with the Channel 1  
output. Please note that there is no provision for paralleling the outputs to obtain a  
single high-powered 70-volt constant voltage output.  
Section 5  
Federal Signal will not offer the T- 170V, TP- 170V, or PIP Modules as indicated in Section  
5.3 -Options.  
Section 9  
For any service related issues, please contact Crown Technical Support. Return the unit to  
Crown Factory Service, or to a Crown authorized service center if repairs need to be made.

phone. The unit can also be used to play background  
music generated from an external source over the  
Audio Router system.  
People’s safety depends on your safe installation  
of our products. It is important to read, understand  
and follow all instructions shipped with this product.  
The Model AR2000-M is an audio multiplexing  
device. It is capable of handling two inputs from any  
of three different selected source voltages of 1, 25 or  
70 volts. The unit has 8 selectable zones which either  
the A or the B source is routed to. There is an all call  
button that selects all zones. There are also 8 pro-  
grammable presets on the unit. The presets are  
initiated by the front panel buttons or by remote  
contacts wired to the back panel. The front panel  
also has a monitor speaker jack. A microphone jack  
is also available for use with a MSB-1. The micro-  
phone has priority over the two user supplied  
sources. The telephone feature is protected by an 8  
key password. Options available allow changing the  
password and recording a message for broadcasting.  
Commands entered via the telephone key pad allow  
the user to send a message to specified zones. The  
microphone and the telephone interface have the  
same priority. If the microphone is in use, the tele-  
phone interface is disabled. If the phone message  
system is in use, the microphone is disabled.  
Selection of mounting location for this device, its  
controls and routing of wiring should be made by the  
Facilities Engineer and the Safety Engineer. Listed  
below are other important safety instructions and  
precautions you should follow.  
This unit must be installed and maintained  
by a qualified electrician in accordance with  
the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) or  
other national or local codes, under the  
direction of the local authority having juris-  
diction.  
Do not connect this unit to system wiring  
when circuits are energized.  
For optimum sound distribution do not  
overload the output lines.  
All audio devices produce loud sounds which,  
in certain circumstances, may cause perma-  
nent hearing loss. Take appropriate precau-  
tions such as wearing hearing protection.  
Recommendations in OSHA Sound Level  
Standard (29 CFR 1910) should not be ex-  
ceeded.  
If more than eight zones or eight presets are  
needed by the user, a separate AR2000-Z (See Figure  
1-2), zone unit, or AR2000-P (See Figure 1-3), preset  
unit is available. Each AR2000-Z or AR2000-P unit  
will add an additional eight zone or preset controls  
respectively. Up to seven additional Preset or Zone  
units may be added for a total of 64 zones and 64  
presets.  
After installation and completion of initial  
system test, provide a copy of this instruction  
sheet to all personnel responsible for opera-  
tion, periodic testing and maintenance of this  
equipment.  
The Model MNC-1 microphone is a hand held,  
noise canceling microphone that is ideal for use as a  
local microphone. The Model MSB-1 microphone (See  
Figure 1-4) is a base station type microphone de-  
signed for desktop operation.

The Model AR2000-M may be installed in indoor  
installations only as a rack mounted device.  
The Model AR2000-M is a rack mount unit that  
will fit any standard 19" rack mount cabinet. The  
Model AR2000-M can be used for a variety of priori-  
tized signaling purposes, such as playing background  
music, paging, start and dismissal, phone messaging  
and other communication applications. Additional  
advantages of the Model AR2000-M include economi-  
cal system expansion and long term system flexibil-  
ity.  
The Model AR2000-M (see figure 1-1) Audio  
Router, is a UL listed and cUL certified central  
control device that is capable of routing a selected  
audio input to specific zones. It can control signals to  
speakers designed for 25Vrms line operation or  
70Vrms line operation. It can also control 1Vrms  
signals intended to be amplified with a separate  
amplification device. The AR2000-M has a public  
address (PA) function so voice messages or instruc-  
tions can be announced over the Audio Router system  
through an optional Model MSB-1 or MNC-1 Micro-  
The Model AR2000-M routes audio signals and  
applies them through zone outputs to the devices in

AM70CK Connector Kit is required in each Selectone  
device to connect it to the signal line. The Audio  
Router device supplies 15W at either 25Vrms or

microphone will allow Channel A or B operation to  
resume.  
Keying the Microphone button will allow the  
user to direct audio to specific zones (default is All-  
Call). The user may select zones using either indi-  
vidual speaker or preset buttons; Channel A or B  
operation will not be interrupted until the micro-  
phone is actually keyed. Releasing the microphone  
will allow Channel A or B to resume operation on its  
selected speakers.  
Each preset can be manually activated locally  
with its associated push button switch on the front  
panel or with a contact closure at the associated  
preset control input on the back panel. Whenever a  
preset is activated, either locally or remotely, its  
associated front panel push button LED illuminates  
to indicate that the preset has been activated. The  
LED remains lit until the preset is deactivated or the  
remote contact closure is removed. As an added  
feature, when a preset is remotely activated, the  
associated LED illuminates and flashes until the  
remote contact closure is removed. All AR2000-M  
controls are located on the front panel except gain  
adjustments which are made on the back panel  
during installation.  
Pressing the All Call button (whether the unit is  
in Microphone mode or Channel A/B mode) will cause  
all zones to be selected. Pressing any individual zone  
when All Call is lit, however, will cancel all the zones  
except that one.  
Pressing All Call will perform the following  
function:  
If all of the zones are not selected, “All Call” will  
select all 64 zones. Otherwise, pressing “All Call” will  
cancel all of the zones.

Pressing the Channel A or Channel B button  
will immediately switch the input to that channel;  
the speaker indicator lights will indicate what  
speakers are connected. Pushing a speaker button  
will turn that speaker on or off; pushing a preset  
button will select speakers per that preset, and may  
also select Channel A or B (if that preset was config-  
ured for a specific channel). Keying the microphone  
while in this mode will cause the microphone signal  
When the line attached to the Router is called,  
the router will answer with the Message “ENTER

“GOODBYE” and the system hangs up the phone  
line.  
Preset operation  
The preset optos are a combination of edge and  
level-tripped. If the system sees an active edge on an  
opto, it will set the input and output relays for the  
corresponding preset. The relays will remain set  
until the input goes away.  
Setting a Preset:  
To set a preset, select the zones desired for the  
preset by pressing and releasing the appropriate zone  
button. The LED corresponding to that zone will  
illuminate. Select the input source (Channel A or  
Channel B) for that preset. Press and hold the  
appropriate preset button until it begins to flash.  
The preset is now set.  
If the caller presses the 6 key, the message  
“RECORD MESSAGE, PRESS # KEY TO BROAD-  
CAST YOUR MESSAGE” prompts the caller to start  
speaking. The message can be up to 90 seconds long.  
If the user exceeds 90 second duration, the message  
will not play back.  
To recall a preset simply select the preset by  
pressing and releasing the associated preset button.  
At any time during the call, the caller can enter  
the # key or hang-up the phone to exit. Also, when a  
key input is necessary, the caller has 5 seconds to  
enter a key or the system hangs up automatically.  
1-2. CHASSIS DESCRIPTION.  
The Model AR2000-M is assembled in a black,  
sprayed aluminum 3-piece housing approximately  
17.5” wide by 14.25" deep by 3.5" high. It is intended  
to be rack mounted in a standard 19” rack mount  
cabinet.  
The password can be returned to the default  
“12345678” by opening the cover of the Router and  
setting switch SW1 position #4 to the “ON” position  
for 5 seconds with the power “ON”.  
The housing is held together with eighteen  
screws, eight on the front panel, six on the rear panel  
and four securing the top to the sides.  
The main printed circuit board is attached to the  
lower housing with seven screws. Separate wiring  
harnesses connect the front and rear boards to the  
main printed circuit board. The front panel switches  
are designated as CH A, CH B, ALL CALL, CANCEL  
ZONE 1 through ZONE 8 and PRESET 1 through  
PRESET 8.  
The Model AR2000-P is assembled in a black,  
sprayed aluminum 3-piece housing approximately  
17.5” wide by 10.125" deep by 1.75" high. It is in-  
tended to be rack mounted in a standard 19” rack  
mount cabinet. The housing is held together with

twelve screws, four on the front panel, four on the  
rear panel and four securing the top to the sides. The  
front panel switches are designated as PRESET 1  
through PRESET 8.  
1-4. POWER.  
WARNING  
In order to prevent power to the AR2000-M  
from being accidentally turned off, the unit  
has a power switch located on the back of the  
unit. Before performing any installation or  
maintenance, ensure that power is discon-  
nected.  
The Model AR2000-Z is assembled in a black,  
sprayed aluminum 3-piece housing approximately  
17.5” wide by 10.125" deep by 1.75" high. It is in-  
tended to be rack mounted in a standard 19” rack  
mount cabinet. The housing is held together with  
twelve screws, four on the front panel, four on the  
rear panel and four securing the top to the sides. The  
front panel switches are designated as ZONE 1  
through ZONE 8.  
The front panel has a green LED to indicate the  
presence of primary power. It also has a red LED to  
indicate the presence of secondary power in use. The  
AR2000-M can be operated from either a 120VAC,  
240VAC or a 24VDC power source. The AC power is  
connected via the power cord, which requires manual  
switching in order to operate. 24VDC Backup con-  
nects via the rear terminals directly underneath the  
4-Amp, Bussman-type GMT indicating fuse.  
1-3. CONTROL CIRCUITRY.  
A. Control Circuitry.  
The control circuitry in the AR2000-M has a  
built-in priority level feature. The local microphone  
has the highest priority level when activated. If a  
preset is initiated by contact closure, the AR2000-M  
will grant that preset priority. The Audio Router will  
store the current selection first, then activate the  
preset. Once the contact closure is removed, the  
AR2000-M will return the system to the previous  
condition. Pressing cancel will deactivate any cur-  
rently active selections.  
WARNING  
If this unit is to be connected to a non-power  
limited 24 volt dc supply, the National Electri-  
cal Code (NFPA 70) requires that those leads  
be separated from other classes of wiring  
connected to this unit.  
The AR2000-P and the AR2000-Z obtain power  
directly from the AR2000-M.  
1-5. AUDIO INPUTS.  
B. All CALL Pushbutton.  
Channel A and Channel B inputs are provided  
in the back of the unit to couple standard 1 volt audio  
signal from a background music source such as a  
radio receiver, CD player or a tape player. The inputs  
can also be selected to accept a 25Vrms or 70Vrms  
input source. The Channel A input is selectable from  
the front panel by depressing the Channel A selection  
button. To select the Channel B input, depress the  
Channel B selection button on the front panel. Only  
Channel A or Channel B may be activated at one  
time. It is not possible to activate both Channel A  
and Channel B audio sources simultaneously.  
The ALL CALL pushbutton switch selects  
and connects all zones to the currently selected input  
source. Pressing the ALL CALL again returns the  
system to the previous condition.  
C. CANCEL Pushbutton.  
The CANCEL pushbutton when pressed will  
reset all the manually activated signaling functions

ing in a standard rack. It utilizes a space of 1U.  
The AR2000-Z provides four (4) holes for mount-  
ing in a standard rack. It utilizes a space of 1U.  
Peoples lives depend on proper installation of  
our products. It is important to follow all instructions  
shipped with these products. These devices are to be  
installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with  
the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), or other  
national or local codes, under the direction of the  
local authority having jurisdiction.  
3-3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.  
DANGER  
To avoid electrical shock and damage to the  
device, do not attempt to connect wires when  
power is on.  
The selection of the mounting location for the  
device, its controls and routing of the wiring is to be  
accomplished under the direction of the Facilities  
Engineer and the Safety Engineer. In addition, listed  
below are some other important safety instructions  
and precautions you should follow:  
Terminal blocks are supplied on the AR2000-M  
for field wiring. Strip 1/2" of insulation from the  
wiring leads. Attach the appropriate wires to the  
corresponding terminals. Tighten the screws to  
insure that the wires are firmly held in place. The  
terminals will accept conductor sizes 23 AWG to 13  
AWG.  
Read and understand all instructions before  
installing or operating this equipment.  
Do not connect this unit to the system when  
power is on.  
3-4. SIGNAL LINES.  
Speakers connected to this system can pro-  
duce loud sounds which may cause, in certain  
situations, permanent hearing loss. You  
should take appropriate precautions such as  
wearing hearing protection.  
A. The signal lines transfer the tone signals  
and verbal messages from the AR2000-M to the  
selected zones and their devices. In order to reduce  
the possibility of cross talk, hum and static noise  
pick-up, the signal lines must be twisted pair,  
shielded audio cable. Although the majority of sys-  
tems use AWG 18 shielded twisted pair audio cables,  
the size of the audio cable should be adjusted to  
correspond to the level of audio being routed in your  
application.  
After installation, test the Audio Router  
sound system to ensure proper operation.  
Show these instructions to your Safety  
Engineer and then file them in a safe place  
and refer to them when maintaining and/or  
reinstalling the unit.  
CAUTION  
Establish a procedure to routinely check the  
sound system for proper activation and  
operation.  
If too small a wire gauge is used, unaccept-  
able signal voltage drop in the signal line will  
cause reduced sound output from the remote  
signal device. Only use a cable having wire  
gauge greater than 22AWG.  
Consult the authority having jurisdiction in  
your area regarding the proper use and  
installation of this product.  
B. Federal does not recommend that new or  
existing telephone lines be used as signal lines in an  
Audio Router system for the following reasons:  
3-1. UNPACKING.  
After unpacking the unit, examine it for damage  
that may have occurred in transit. If equipment has  
been damaged, do not attempt to install or operate it.  
File a claim immediately with the carrier stating the  
extent of the damage. Carefully check all envelopes,  
shipping labels and tags before removing or destroy-  
ing them.  
1. Interference from other services or  
systems, or interference from the system to other  
services.  
2. Cross talk, interference or hum induced  
by other telephone lines.  
3. Extended downtime because of the second  
party involvement required to service the lines.  
4. The additional cost of installation, inter-  
facing devices and monthly charges as opposed to a  
one-time cost of performing the installation.  
3-2. MOUNTING ARRANGEMENTS.  
The AR2000-M provides four (4) holes for  
mounting in a standard rack. It utilizes a space of 2U.

3-5. MODEL AR2000-M SIGNAL  
CONNECTIONS.  
AR2000-M to the 70 Vrms position. The output audio  
must be connected using 16GA wire from AUDIO  
OUT to AUDIO IN FROM EXTERNAL AMP. The  
Gain may be adjusted using the AUDIO OUT VOL-  
UME control knob.  
CAUTION  
Crosstalk can occur between signal lines and  
power lines, causing confusing messages,  
which interfere with the capability of this  
equipment.  
C. 25 Vrms Signal Line Application.  
The AR2000-M has provision for connecting  
25 Vrms line operated speakers to its output. Connect  
the 25 Vrms line at the terminals of Zone 1 – Zone 8  
terminal block(s). Connect the speakers in parallel to  
this line using 25 Vrms line tap. This output is  
selected by setting the switch on the back of the  
AR2000-M to the 25 Vrms position. The output audio  
must be connected using 16GA wire from AUDIO  
OUT to AUDIO IN FROM EXTERNAL AMP. The  
Gain may be adjusted using the AUDIO OUT VOL-  
UME control knob.  
Do not install signal lines in the same conduit  
with power lines. Avoid routing signal lines on  
cable trays with high voltage power lines.  
To connect the signal lines of the system to the  
AR2000-M, connect a color-coded shielded twisted  
pair of audio cables having conductors no smaller  
than 18 AWG to + and - of each zone output being  
utilized to the appropriate remote device(s). (See  
figure 3-1.) Every remote signaling device in the  
system will be connected in parallel to these lines.  
When connecting the remote devices in parallel to the  
signal lines, observe the correct polarity and install  
wire nuts over the connections.  
D. Low Level Audio Output.  
The AR2000-M also has provision for 1 volt  
audio output that can be switched to each zone for  
individual external amplification. This low level  
output is available at the same terminals as in B and  
C above. This output is selected by setting the  
switch on the back of the AR2000-M to the 1 Vrms  
position. The output audio must also be connected  
using 18-20GA wire from AUDIO OUT to AUDIO IN  
FROM EXTERNAL AMP. The Gain may be adjusted  
using the AUDIO OUT VOLUME control knob. It  
can also be connected to an analog fiber optic trans-  
mitter so that audio can be transmitted over a fiber  
optic link in an electrically noisy environment.  
NOTE: If using the supplied amplifier or an external  
amplifier, the output audio must be connected using  
appropriate wire from AUDIO OUT to AUDIO IN  
FROM EXTERNAL AMP. If using the on-board  
amplifier, directly connect the AUDIO IN FROM  
EXTERNAL AMP to the AUDIO OUT terminals on  
the back of the AR2000-M. See section 3-4 for recom-  
mended wire sizes.  
3-6. CONNECTION TO REMOTE DEVICES.  
Physically install the remote device(s); follow the  
installation instructions packed with the device.  
E. External Amplifier Connection for Alternate  
Power Audio Output.  
A. 300GC, 300GCX, 300X, 302GC, 302GCX,  
302X, 50GC, and 50GCB.  
The AR2000-M also has provision to connect  
an external amplifier, such as the Federal Signal  
HP440,to be switched to the corresponding zones.  
Set the Audio Router up as listed in D above. Con-  
nect the 1 volt AUDIO OUT to the audio input of  
another amplifier. The output audio must be con-  
nected using appropriate wire gauge for the applica-  
tion to the AUDIO IN FROM EXTERNAL AMP (See  
figure 3-2.) The Gain may be adjusted using the  
AUDIO OUT VOLUME control knob.  
To connect these models to a 25Vrms or  
70Vrms signal line, a Model AM25CK or AM70CK  
connector card must be used. See figure 3-1 and  
instructions below for the appropriate signal line  
voltage.  
B. 70 Vrms Signal Line Application.  
The AR2000-M has provision for connecting  
70 Vrms line operated speakers to its output. Connect  
the 70 Vrms line at the terminals of Zone 1 – Zone 8  
terminal block(s). Connect the speakers in parallel to

power the local Audio Router Device. If the PS600 is  
used, it is not necessary to switch the power source if  
a power failure occurs.  
CAUTION  
Improper installation could render this  
system inoperable, interfering with the  
indicating nature of this product. The instal-  
lation must conform to applicable local and/or  
National Electrical codes.  
3. Disadvantages of Backup Power System.  
a. A separate power source for all  
remote devices is required. Heavy power lines are  
required from that power source to the remote  
devices in the system. The size of the power lines is  
dependent upon the number of amplifiers and the  
total distance of the power loop in order to minimize  
the voltage drop while a signal is being routed.  
If an emergency power source is required, a  
backup power system described below should be  
employed.  
WARNING  
b. Future expansion is limited by the  
current capacity of the power source and the power  
lines that were initially installed.  
If the AR2000-M is to be connected to a non-  
power limited 24 volt dc supply, the National  
Electrical Code (NFPA70) requires that those  
leads be separated from other classes of  
wiring connected to this unit.  
c. Central power installations must  
comply with local electrical codes. Most power cir-  
cuits are Class I circuits. Therefore, conduit will  
probably be required. Installation costs are higher  
than a local power system.  
B. Backup Power (See figure 3-3).  
1. General.  
C. AR2000-M System Power Connections.  
In the backup power system all of the  
local power lines are connected in parallel to one  
centrally located power source of 24VDC.  
DANGER  
Installation with the system power on could  
cause serious injury or death. Do not perform  
any installation or maintenance on this  
system when power is on. Ensure that the  
power is disconnected before proceeding.  
2. Advantages of the Backup Power System.  
a. The entire system may be indepen-  
dent of local line voltage.  
b. The entire system can be switched to  
an emergency standby power source in the event of a  
power failure.  
WARNING  
This device is to be installed by a trained  
electrician who is thoroughly familiar with  
the national electrical code (NFPA 70) and  
local codes and will follow the guidelines.  
c. The central power system has the  
added advantage that an auxiliary power supply,  
such as the Federal Model PS600 can be used to

WARNING  
3-8. CONNECTIONS TO REMOTE SWITCHES.  
If this unit is to be connected to a non-power  
limited 24 volt dc supply, the National Electri-  
cal Code (NFPA70) requires that those leads  
be separated from other classes of wiring  
connected to this unit.  
The AR2000-M presets can be activated re-  
motely by any normally open low current switch  
contacts having a current capacity of at least 50 mA  
inductive. Figure 3-6 illustrates the connection of  
switch contacts to the AR2000-M. S1, S2, S3 and S4  
represents remote switch contacts such as those  
found in flow switches, program clocks, heat detec-  
tors, and smoke detectors. The remotely activated  
presets function as long as the activating contacts  
remain closed. A jumper needs to be placed across  
OPTO COMMON and the provided +24V terminal  
next to it on the back of the AR2000-M in order for  
the remotely activated presets to function. A remote  
switch may be connected to the ALL CALL position if  
desired. These are all Normally Open contacts that  
initiate with contact closure and remain active until  
the contact is opened again.  
CAUTION  
Cross talk, interference, or hum can be  
induced in signal lines, causing poor audio  
output or confusing messages, which inter-  
feres with the capability of this equipment.  
Do not install power lines in the same conduit  
as signal lines.  
Operating power is connected to AR2000-M  
by merely inserting the plug end of the line cord into  
any standard 120 volt, 60 Hz outlet. The AR2000-M is  
factory set for 120VAC 50/60Hz operation. If 240 volt  
operation is preferred, the input block provides a  
switch that must be set to this position in order to  
function at 240 VAC operation.  
3-9. INPUT SOURCE CONNECTIONS.  
WARNING  
If it is desired to use 24 VDC either as a  
primary or auxiliary source of power, connect the “+”  
terminal of 24 volt DC power supply to the “+”  
terminal at the 24VDC BACKUP POWER terminal  
on the AR2000-M and “-” terminal of the 24 VDC  
power supply to the “-“ terminal at the 24VDC  
BACKUP POWER terminal on the AR2000-M located  
in the back of the device. (See figure 3-3.)  
Installation or maintenance on AR2000-M  
when power is on can result in serious injury  
or death. Do not perform any installation or  
maintenance to the system when power is on.  
Set selector for CH A to the appropriate input  
voltage, 1Vrms, 25Vrms or 70Vrms. Connect the “+”  
of the source device to the “+” terminal at the Chan-  
nel A input. Connect the “-“ of the source device to  
the “-“ terminal at the Channel A input. Repeat this  
process for the Channel B input. CH A and CH B  
volume controls are available just above each input  
selector to allow the input gain to be adjusted.  
D. AR2000-P and AR2000-Z Power Connections.  
Operating power is connected to AR2000-P  
and AR2000-Z by merely connecting 24 VDC from the  
AR2000-M to each unit. A terminal block is provided  
at the rear-left side of each unit for power connection.  
Observe and maintain proper polarity when wiring  
the power to these units. Connect the “+” terminal of  
the AR2000-M to the “+” terminal of the AR2000-P at  
the “+” terminal located in the back of device. Con-  
nect the “-” terminal of the AR2000-M to the “-”  
terminal of the AR2000-P at the “-” terminal located  
in the back of device. An additional 24VDC power  
outlet is provided on each AR2000-P and AR2000-Z  
for daisy-chaining the power to each sub-unit. Re-  
peat for each AR2000-P and AR2000-Z.  
CAUTION  
Be certain to set the input selector switch to  
the appropriate input voltage to avoid dam-  
age to the unit and the device being con-  
nected.  
3-10. COMMUNICATION CONNECTIONS for  
AR2000-P and AR2000-Z.  
WARNING  
Setup for the AR2000-P presets is done in the  
same way as the AR2000-M presets. (See figure 3-4.)  
It is important that the communication lines  
be properly connected to their respective  
communication port. Failure to connect the  
cables properly will damage the devices and  
possibly render them inoperable.  
Setup for the AR2000-Z zones is done in the  
same way as the AR2000-M. An audio input is  
provided on each unit to be routed to each of the  
zones it selects. This audio should be connected by  
wiring a connection from the master audio output to  
the provided input terminals. (See figure 3-5.) Each  
additional AR2000-Z should obtain audio in the same  
manner from the unit above. (See figure 3-5.)  
The label on the back of each device indicates  
where the communication cable link should be  
connected. See figure 3-6 for appropriate placement.

instructions may result in property damage,  
serious injury, or possible death to you or  
others.  
4-2. Provide a copy of these instructions for the  
Safety Engineer(s), System Operators(s) and Mainte-  
nance personal.  
WARNING  
4-3. TELEPHONE FUNCTION COMMANDS.  
Under certain conditions these devices are  
capable of transferring sound loud enough to  
cause hearing damage. Adequate hearing  
protection should be worn if standing within  
close proximity to the device while testing.  
Recommendations in OSHA Sound Level  
Standard (29CFR 1910) should not be ex-  
ceeded.  
A. Changing the Password.  
When the line attached to the Router is  
called, the Router will answer with the message  
“ENTER PASSWORD”. Enter your 8 digit password.  
Then the caller will hear the message  
“PRESS 9 KEY TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD OR  
6 KEY TO RECORD A MESSAGE”.  
SAFETY MESSAGE TO OPERATORS  
Although your Multiplexing system is operat-  
ing properly it may not be completely effec-  
tive. People may not hear or heed your  
messages. You must recognize this fact and  
ensure that your messages achieve their  
intended effect through proper test and  
training sequences suitable for your specific  
application(s).  
Press the 9 key, the message “ENTER NEW  
PASSWORD” will inform the caller to enter a new  
password. The same new password must be entered  
twice. The caller will hear the message “PASSWORD  
CHANGED” then the message “GOODBYE” and the  
system hangs up the phone line.  
The password can be returned to the default  
“12345678” by opening the cover of the Router and

setting switch SW1 to position #4 to the “ON” posi-  
tion for 5 seconds with the power “ON”.  
message will be sent to Zones 1, 4 and 6 of the Master  
unit (Bank 1).  
B. Recording a Message for Broadcast.  
For example: If there is one AR2000-Z unit  
connected to the AR2000-M, then it is on Bank 2. To  
send a message to only Zone 4 of the AR2000-Z in  
Bank 2, key in the following after recording a mes-  
sage: key in [*], [2], [4], and then press the [#] key  
and hang up. The message will be sent only to Zone 4  
of Bank 2.  
When the line attached to the Router is  
called, the Router will answer with the message  
“ENTER PASSWORD”. Enter your 8 digit password.  
Then the caller will hear the message  
“PRESS 9 KEY TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD OR  
6 KEY TO RECORD A MESSAGE”.  
For example: If there are two AR2000-Z units  
connected to the AR2000-M, then they are on Bank 2  
and on Bank 3. To send a message to Zone 4 of the  
AR2000-Z in Bank 2 and Zone 5 of the AR2000-Z in  
Bank 3, key in the following after recording a mes-  
sage: key in [*], [2], [4] and key in [*], [3], [5] and then  
press the [#] key and hang up. The message will be  
sent to Zone 4 of Bank 2 and Zone 5 of Bank 3.  
Press the 6 key, the message “RECORD  
MESSAGE, PRESS # KEY TO BROADCAST YOUR  
MESSAGE” prompts the caller to start speaking. Say  
your message into the phone. Press [#] and hang up  
the phone. Your message will be sent to all zones  
connected to the Audio Router Device. The message  
can be up to 90 seconds long. If the user exceeds 90  
second duration, the message will not play back. This  
is the procedure for selecting “All Call”.  
For example: To send a message to Zone 6  
from Bank 8 after recording a message, key in [*], [8],  
[6] and then press the [#] key and hang up. The  
message will be sent to Zone 6 of Bank 8.  
C. Abort a Message Without Sending it  
Anywhere.  
Hang up at any time without pressing [#].  
For example: To select Zones 1,3,5 from Bank  
2 and Zones 1, 2 from Bank 3, key in the following  
after recording a message: key in [*], [2 ], [1], [3], [5],  
[*], [3], [1], [2], [#] and hang up. The message will be  
sent to Zones 1, 3 and 5 of Bank 2 and Zones 1 and 2  
of Bank 3.  
D. Send Your Message to a Specific Selected Zone  
or Zones.  
After saying the message, press any keys on  
the telephone keypad from 1-8. These correspond to  
the eight zones which are connected to the master  
AR2000-M unit. Pressing [1] will select Zone 1,  
pressing [5] will select Zone 5 and pressing [8] will  
select Zone 8.  
E. Send Your Message to a Selected Preset.  
After recording a message, first key in [0 ],  
then the associated Bank number(1-8) and then the  
Preset number of that Bank (1-8). The zero indicates  
you are about to select a preset Bank and preset  
number. Only one preset may be selected for a  
message.  
For example: To send a message to only Zone  
3 of the AR2000-M, after recording the message key  
in [3] and then press the [#] key. The message will be  
sent only to Zone 3.  
For example: To send a message to Zone 3  
and Zone 4 of the AR2000-M, after recording the  
message key in [3], key in [4] and then press the [#]  
key. The message will be sent to Zone 3 and to Zone  
4.  
If additional AR2000-P units are connected,  
those Presets may also be individually selected. To  
accomplish this, first key in [0], then key in the Bank  
number which is associated with the additional  
Preset you desire to reference (2 –8) and then key in  
a Preset for that bank. A maximum of seven (7)  
additional Preset Banks may be added to the  
AR2000-M device. The master unit is designated as  
Bank 1.

After unpacking the speaker, examine it carefully for possible damage that may have  
occurred in transit. If equipment has been damaged, immediately file a claim with the carrier  
stating the extent of the damage. Carefully check all shipping labels and tags for special  
instructions before removing or destroying them.  
2. Mounting Arrangements.  
The speaker can be mounted on any relatively flat surface. Conduit connection can be made  
to the 1/2" threaded opening at bottom of the housing (see figure 1).  
WARNING  
Property damage, serious injury, or death could occur if an accumulation of water, snow, dust,  
etc. resides in the speaker projector, severely  
reducing or preventing operation of this device. Mount the unit  
so speaker projector is pointed horizontally  
or slightly downward.
