2 System Overview

The Plena Voice Alarm System is a public address and voice alarm system in which all the necessary features for compliance to evacuation standards such as

IEC60849, NEN2575 and BS5839/8 are integrated.

2.4.1

Praesideo

It is possible to combine the Plena Voice Alarm System with a Praesideo digital public address and emergency sound system. When an audio output of Praesideo is connected to a VOX audio input of the Plena Voice

Alarm System, calls that are made by the Praesideo system overrule the calls that are made with the Plena

Voice Alarm System.

Typically, the Plena Voice Alarm System is used to create small systems that must comply to evacuation standards, medium-sized systems in which one call channel is enough and large systems that consist of many small zones.

2.5.1

Introduction

The LBB1990/00 Voice Alarm Controller is the heart of the Plena Voice Alarm System. The voice alarm controller distributes emergency calls, business calls as well as background music (BGM) to up to 6 loudspeaker zones.

The application areas of the Plena Voice Alarm System include:

• Supermarkets, shops

• Factories

• High-rise buildings

• Office buildings

• Schools

• Recreational facilities

• Hotels

• Small airports

2.4 Plena

The Plena Voice Alarm System is part of the Plena product range. Plena provides public address solutions for places where people gather to work, worship, trade or simply enjoy themselves. It is a family of system elements that are combined to create public address systems tailored for virtually any application. The range includes mixer, pre, system and power amplifiers, a source unit, digital message manager, feedback suppressor, conventional and PC call stations, an ‘All-in-

One’ system and a voice alarm system. Each element is designed to complement all others thanks to matched acoustical, electrical and mechanical specifications. figure 2.1: Voice Alarm Controller

Note

When the voice alarm controller has been purchased in the Asian-Pacific Region, the emergency button has a different cover.

Plena Voice Alarm System | Installation and User Instructions | Introduction en | 13

2.5.2

Hand-held microphone

The voice alarm controller is equipped with a hand-held microphone, which can be used to make emergency calls.

2.6.1

Introduction

With the LBB1992/00 Voice Alarm Router, the number of loudspeaker zones and trigger inputs in the system can be increased.

2.5.3

Internal power amplifier

The voice alarm controller has a 240 W internal power amplifier, which can be used in 1-channel or 2-channel mode. In the 1-channel mode, all calls and BGM are amplified by the internal power amplifier. If desired, an external power amplifier can be connected for spare switching. In the 2-channel mode, the BGM is amplified by the internal power amplifier, whereas the calls are amplified by an external power amplifier.

2.5.4

Internal message manager

The voice alarm controller has an internal message manager, which maps wave files (.wav) to messages that can be played by the Plena Voice Alarm System.

2.5.5

Supervision

All necessary supervision features for compliance to evacuation standards are integrated into the voice alarm controller. If supervision is enabled and a fault is detected, the voice alarm controller lights a LED on its front panel that indicates the cause of the fault.

figure 2.2: Voice alarm router

2.6.2

Loudspeaker zones

A voice alarm controller can serve and manage 6 loudspeaker zones. To increase the number of zones in the system, one or more LBB1992/00 Voice Alarm

Routers can be connected to the voice alarm controller.

Each router adds a maximum of 6 zones to the system.

As the maximum number of voice alarm routers that can be connected in a system is 9, the maximum number of zones in a Plena Voice Alarm System is 60.

2.5.6

Trigger inputs

The voice alarm controller has a terminal block to which 6 emergency (EMG) and 6 business trigger inputs can be connected. Third party systems can use the trigger inputs to start emergency and business calls in the Plena Voice Alarm System.

2.5.7

Remote control

With the LBB1996/00 Voice Alarm Remote Control, it is possible to control the voice alarm controller from another site. The remote control is also available as kit

(LBB1998/00 Voice Alarm Remote Control Kit) for creating customized solutions. The maximum number of remote controls that can be connected to the voice alarm controller is 2. A special type of remote control is the LBB1995/00 Fireman’s Panel.

2.6.3

Trigger inputs

A voice alarm controller can manage 6 emergency

(EMG) and 6 business trigger inputs. To increase the number of EMG and trigger inputs, one or more

LBB1992/00 Voice Alarm Routers can be connected to the voice alarm controller. Each router adds a maximum of 6 EMG trigger inputs and 6 business trigger inputs to the system. As the maximum number of voice alarm routers that can be connected in a system is 9, the maximum number of EMG trigger inputs in a

Plena Voice Alarm System is 60. The maximum number of business trigger inputs in a Plena Voice

Alarm System is also 60.

Plena Voice Alarm System | Installation and User Instructions | Introduction en | 14

2.6.4

External power amplifiers

The voice alarm router does not have an internal power amplifier. When the power that is supplied by the voice alarm controller is insufficient, to each voice alarm router two external power amplifiers can be connected.

In a multi-router system, multiple power amplifiers can be connected to amplify calls and background music

(BGM) or just for backup purposes.

2.7.2

Buttons

Each call station has zone select buttons and a push-to-talk (PTT) button. The zone select buttons can be configured for selecting zones and zone groups in the system. To the PTT button, a pre- and post chime can be assigned that is played at the start or at the end of the business call.

2.6.5

Remote control

With the LBB1997/00 Voice Alarm Remote Control

Extension, it is possible to control the voice alarm router from another location. The remote control extension is also available as a kit (LBB1999/00 Voice Alarm

Remote Extension Kit) for creating customized solutions.

2.7.3

Supervision

The call station is not supervised. For compliance to evacuation standards, the Plena Voice Alarm System disables the call station during emergency calls.

2.7.4

Keypad

Each voice alarm router can add 6 extra loudspeaker zones to the system. To be able to distribute calls to the extra zones, it is possible to connect LBB1957/00 to the call station. The maximum number of keypads that can be connected to a call station is 8.

2.7.1

Introduction

The LBB1956/00 Call Station can be connected to the

Plena Voice Alarm System to make business calls. The maximum number of call stations in a Plena Voice

Alarm System is 8.

3 Application examples

3.1 Schools

3.1.1

Introduction

Schools are typical example of applications with a large number of zones each with a relatively low output power requirement per zone. The main priorities are speech intelligibility and compliance with IEC60849 standard (or equivalent). In addition to mandatory voice alarm functionality for evacuating staff and students,

EVAC systems for schools should also include chime tones for notifying the start/finish of lessons, plus public address functionality for individually calling classrooms or public area. BGM is not essential. Since a classroom has a low ambient noise level, 1 loudspeaker is usually sufficient, keeping the total power requirement relatively low. Outside areas such as playgrounds and sports fields will require weatherproof horn loudspeakers.

3.1.2

3.1.3

Summary of requirements

• Typically 20 to 60 zones (in high schools)

• Speech intelligibility is the main priority

• Low power requirement (1 loudspeaker) per classroom

• Fireman’s panel by main entrance

• Call station in main office

• Additional public address functions such as chime tones desirable

• BGM in recreation areas is optional

Solution for a 30-zone system

The Plena Voice Alarm System Controller handles message routing to 6 zones, the remaining 24 zones require four additional 6-zone routers. The office is equipped with a call station plus keypads for individually addressing zones, while a fireman’s panel

(with overall priority) is built in by the main entrance.

3.1.4

Power requirements

The system controller features a built-in 240 W power amplifier, making it possible to drive up to 40 loudspeakers with a power handling capacity of 6 W each. This is sufficient for a medium-sized high school with 24 classrooms, 4 toilets/changing rooms, a staff meeting room and 2 offices, each requiring a single loudspeaker. The canteen, assembly hall, playing fields and corridors typically require more loudspeakers per zone. An additional Plena Power Amplifier is used as a spare amplifier.

3.2.1

Introduction

Swimming pools and other indoor sports and recreational facilities are typical examples of smaller applications with few zones. The main priorities are excellent speech intelligibility and compliance with

IEC60849 standard (and its national equivalents), although music in different areas is optional. An EVAC system for a swimming pool requires voice alarm functionality with public address functionality for regular announcements and background music

(optional). To ensure that all visitors in the relatively noisy pool area hear emergency messages, the power output for that zone is relatively high. Other areas, such as the changing rooms and offices, have lower power requirements.

3.2.2

Summary of requirements

• Typically up to 6 zones

• Speech intelligibility is the main priority

• High power requirement in the noisy pool area

• Fireman’s panel by fire exit

• Call station in office/reception

• Additional public address functions for announcements

• BGM

3.2.3

Solution for a 5-zone system

The Plena Voice Alarm System controller handles routing to up to 6 zones, so no additional routers are required. The office/reception is equipped with a call station plus keypad for individually addressing zones, while a fireman’s panel (with overall priority) is built in by the emergency exit. The Plena Voice Alarm System is a two-channel system, so BGM can still be provided in zones not receiving a call.

3.2.4

Power requirements

The system controller has a built-in 240 W power amplifier, making it possible to drive up to 40 loudspeakers with a power handling capacity of 6 W each. The pool area requires highpower music horn loudspeakers qualified for use in a high humidity atmosphere. The snack bar uses cabinet loudspeakers for music reproduction. The zones are defined as indicated in the table. An additional Plena Power

Amplifier is used for two-channel operation and as a spare amplifier.

3.3.1

Introduction

Shopping malls are typical example of applications with a large number of zones with varying output power requirements per zone. The priorities are speech intelligibility and compliance with IEC60849 standard

(and its national equivalents). In addition to mandatory voice alarm functionality for evacuating the public and shop personnel, an EVAC system for shopping centers can have BGM for the public areas. It should be possible to individually call each shop or store. During emergency messages, each shop’s BGM volume control is automatically overridden. Additional public address functionality for making general public announcements is an optional requirement.

3.3.4

Power requirements

Each zone will have varying power requirements, ranging from small shops with a single loudspeaker to department stores with several floors and more loudspeakers. Parking garages and open-air walkways will require weatherproof sound projectors or horn loudspeakers. To facilitate phased evacuation from different levels of the shopping center, public areas are divided into zones. Additional Plena Power Amplifiers are incorporated to provide additional power, two-channel operation and for use as a spare amplifier.

3.3.5

Layout

See figure 3.3, table 3.5 and table 3.6

3.3.2

Summary of requirements

• Typically up to 60 zones

• Speech intelligibility is the main priority

• Variable power requirement per zone

• Call station in security control room

• Additional public address functionality

(non-emergency)

• BGM in public areas

• BGM music with local override in shops

3.3.3

Solution for a 54-zone system

A Plena Voice Alarm System Controller handles routing to 6 zones, the remaining 48 zones require eight

6-zone routers. The security control room is equipped with a remote control panel and call station plus keypads for individually addressing zones and BGM for the public areas, while the controller unit and routers are located in a fire-resistant cabinet or basement.

Fireman’s panel (with overall priority) is built in close to the main entrance or emergency exit (subject to relevant local regulations). The Plena Voice Alarm System is a two-channel system, so BGM can still be provided in zones not receiving a call.

3.4 Hotel

3.4.1

Introduction

Smaller hotels are typical examples of applications with relatively few zones, each with a medium to high output power requirement. The priorities are speech intelligibility and compliance with IEC60849 standard.

In addition to mandatory voice alarm functionality for evacuating guests and staff, an EVAC system for a hotel should also include BGM in the restaurant, bar and lobby, plus public address functionality for general paging. To ensure that all guests hear an emergency message, the power output per zone is relatively high.

Outside areas such as car parking garages, require weatherproof horn loudspeakers.

3.4.4

Power requirements

The system controller features a built-in 240 W power amplifier, able to drive up to 40 loudspeakers (6 W).

Additional Plena Power Amplifiers are incorporated to provide additional power, two-channel operation and spare amplification. To facilitate phased evacuation from different floors of the hotel, guest areas are divided into separate zones, each fitted with 13 ceiling loudspeakers in the corridors. The bar uses cabinet loudspeakers, while the parking garage uses weatherproof horn loudspeakers.

4 Calls and priorities

4.1 Introduction

As the Plena Voice Alarm System is a public address and emergency sound system, it is used to distribute background music, business calls and emergency calls.

A business call is a call that is made when the system is in the normal state. Business calls always have a priority between 2 and 8 and can be started with:

• Business trigger inputs.

• Call stations.

• The mic/line input with VOX functionality of the voice alarm controller.

4.2 Priority

To each call, a priority is assigned. When two or more calls are addressed to the same zone or need shared resources (e.g. the internal message manager of the voice alarm controller), the call with the lower priority is stopped immediately and the call with the higher priority is started. The priority of a call depends on the the part of the system that started the call and must be configured with the configuration software.

An emergency call is a call that is made when the system is in the emergency state. Emergency calls have a priority between 9 and 19 and can be started with:

• Emergency trigger inputs.

• The hand-held emergency microphone of the voice alarm controller.

• The mic/line input with VOX functionality of the voice alarm controller.

Note

See the Configuration Software Manual

(9922 141 1038x) for more information about the configuration software.

When two or more calls with the same priority are addressed to the same zone or need shared resources

(e.g. the internal message manager of the voice alarm controller), the oldest call is stopped immediately and the youngest call is started. An exception to this rule are

mergeable messages (see section 4.3).

When two or more calls are started that are based on the same mergeable message template and have the same priority, the calls are merged. The youngest call will not stop the oldest call in this case. Mergeable message can be created with the configuration software.

If it is necessary to detect the removal or failure of a single loudspeaker, the following is advised:

• Do not connect more than 5 loudspeakers to the same loudspeaker line (line A or line B). Field tests have shown that the impedance of loudspeakers and loudspeaker lines varies with temperature and age.

The limit of 5 loudspeakers is set due to this variation. In a more stable environment, the number of loudspeakers can be higher.

• Make sure that all loudspeakers connected to the same loudspeaker line have the same impedance.

5.3.7

Volume overrides

The voice alarm controller has 6 override outputs; 1 for each zone in the system (see figure 5.9). These are suitable for 4-wire override (24 V) and 3-wire override.

Note

By default, the voice alarm controller is configured for 4-wire (24 V), power-saving override, see situation I in figure 5.11.

Note

The impedance measurement of the Plena Voice

Alarm System has an accuracy better than 2%.

The system only generates a fault if the line impedance difference is greater than the configured accuracy. Use the configuration software to configure the accuracy.

Note

See the Configuration Software Manual

(9922 141 1038x) for more information about the configuration software.

Note

The maximum load for the internal power amplifier of the voice alarm controller is 240 W.

However, if the voice alarm controller is used in

2-channel mode and an external 480 W amplifier is connected to it, the maximum loudspeaker load can be 480 W at 100 V. This is because in 2-channel mode, the internal power amplifier of the voice alarm controller is used for BGM only and distributes BGM at

-3 dB, from which follows that the maximum power output is 240 W at 70 V and that the loading caused by 100 V loudspeakers at 70 V is also 240 W. The external amplifier is used for calls only with 480 W output power and 100 V loudspeaker line voltage.

Normally, when there are no active calls, the Z+ pins are internally connected to the NC contact of the

Volume Override . At the moment a call is started in a zone, the Z+ pin of the zone is internally connected to the NO contact of the Volume Override. So, the NC and the NO contacts determine which voltage is supplied to the positive pins of the override outputs (Z+).

To create a 3-wire volume override, see figure 5.12:

Note

It is not possible to use 3-wire volume override in combination with redundant loudspeaker lines

(line A and B, see figure 5.8) and supervision. If redundant loudspeaker lines are needed, use 4wire volume override (see figure 5.11).

5.3.8

Line output

The voice alarm controller has 1 line output (see figure

5.13). This output has a double cinch socket. Both cinch sockets contain the same, mono signal, which consists of the current BGM and calls. The line output can be used to connect the voice alarm controller to a recording device (e.g. a tape-deck).

• Connect the 100V output of loudspeaker line A to the 100 V input of the volume control.

• Connect the 100 V/0 V (CALL/RTN) of the transformer to the 100V output of loudspeaker line

B .

• Connect the 0 output of loudspeaker line A to the

0 V of the loudspeaker.

• Enable 3-wire volume override in the configuration software.

14 End of line detection

14.1 Introduction

The End Of Line (EOL) detection board makes a continous check of the integrety of the loudspeaker line based on a pilot tone. This check is in addition to the check given by the impedance measurement. The pilot tone is independant of the quantity of the loudspeakers in the system or the load on the speaker cables.

• All inputs to a VAC or router that have an EOL input must be normally closed inputs. The EOL board operates with a normally closed output and the configuration software is set to Action Open. Use another router to receive normally open inputs.

Note

During a call the EOL input is ignored.

14.2 Overview

The EOL is installed in the speaker cabinet at the furthest point on a loudspeaker line. When the EOL detects a pilot tone that is given by the voice alarm system, the loudspeaker lines have no fault. The EOL trigger output is closed and the LED lights up to show that the lines have a pilot tone signal.

If the loudspeaker cable has a fault, the pilot tone stops.

The EOL circuit becomes open, which is detected by the Voice Alarm Controller.

One EOL board can be installed to give a single fault indication per zone or more than one can be installed on a single fault input to check the integrity of a loudspeaker line with several branches. When more than one EOL board is installed, the configuration is called a daisy-chain.

When a fault is detected by the VAC, to find the EOL board that detects the failure, every induvidual boad must be checked.

• The Short circuit check must be set in the configuration software.

Note

The EOL board detects a short circuit, but the

EOL cannot detect where the short circuit is.

Note

It is possible for the LED will to turn off before the contact is opened or vice versa. This level difference is typically less that 500 mV.

14.3 Installation

To install an EOL, use these general notes.

• An EOL board can only be installed in a 2-channel system. The EOL board needs the second amplifier to produce the pilot tone for the zones that are

not in use. Refer to 17.5.3.

• The volume control on the VAC must be set to

-6dB or higher. The recommended setting is 0dB. A lower dB setting attenuates the pilot tone.

Caution

Do not connect the EOL board to the secondary side of a volume control. The secondary side of a volume control can attenuate the pilot tone.

14.3.1 Installation of a single EOL

1 Connect the two cables at the end of the 100 V loudspeaker line to the Input 100V LS on the EOL board.

2 Connect the two cables from an Emergency Trigger

Input on the Voice Alarm Controller to TRGA on the EOL.

3 Connect the jumpers JP1 on the EOL as shown.

14.3.2 Installation of multiple EOLs in a daisy-chain

1 Connect the two cables from the 100 V loudspeaker line to the Input 100V LS on the EOL board.

2 Connect one cable from an Emergency Trigger

Input on the Voice Alarm Controller to the FIRST

BOARD input on the EOL board.

3 Connect the output LAST BOARD to the input

FIRST BOARD on the subsequent EOL board.

4 Repeat step 3 for every EOL board in the system.

5 Connect the jumpers JP1 on each EOL as shown.

15 Dummy load

15.1 Introduction

The Dummy Load has these functions:

• Increases the percentage of impedance (with respect to the cable impedance) present at the end of the line.

• Allows more loudspeakers to be fitted.

• Allows longer cable lengths.

Fault detection of the loudspeaker lines with impedance measurement is triggered by a change in excess of 20%.

The impedance at the end of the loudspeaker line must be more than 20% of the total impedance to make sure that an open circuit is detected.

The Dummy Load has a jumper to set the load at 20 kHz to 8, 20 and 60 W.

15.2 Set the jumper JP1 on the

Dummy load

Note

You can find the Dummyload calculator.xls on the Plena Voice Alarm CD.

1 Use the Dummy Load Calculator to calculate the jumper setting of JP1 on the Dummy load.

2 Select the Excel sheet Dummyload calculator. Click on Enable Macros when the dialog box appears. The worksheet opens.

3 Type the load per loudspeaker in Step 1. The maximum number of loudspeakers is automatically calculated and appears in Step 2.

4 Type the number of loudspeakers in the line in

Step 2. The result automatically appears in Step 3.

5 Type the capacitance of the 100 V cable in Step 4.

6 Type the length of the cable in Step 5.

7 Click Display jumper JP1 settings. The configuration of the jumper settings appears.

8 Set the jumper JP1 on the Dummy load to the shown in the calculator.

15.3 Installation

To install the Dummy load do as follows:

1 Connect the two leads onto the connection terminals of the last loudspeaker in a line.

2 Attach the Dummy Load circuit board in the loudspeaker cabinet to the mouting studs.

Bosch Security Systems | 2005-10 | 9922 141 10377 en en | 69

Note

If the APR mode switch (see figure 17.1) is in the ON

position, the system is in the Asian-Pacific Region (APR) mode. In APR mode, the system operates according to the emergency standards of the Asian-Pacific Region. In the APR mode:

• The priority level of the emergency trigger inputs is always 14.

• Emergency and business trigger inputs of the same zone form pairs. The settings of the emergency trigger input (software configurable) apply to both.

• The emergency trigger inputs are never supervised.

• When an emergency trigger input is activated, the system enters the emergency state. The voice alarm controller also automatically starts a pre-emergency announcement and alarm message (software configurable).

• When a business trigger input is activated, the system enters the emergency state. The voice alarm controller does not automatically start a preemergency announcement and alarm message.

• The red LED, which during normal operation indicates that the zone is selected for an emergency

call (see figure 5.1, no. 5), indicates that an

emergency trigger input is active.

• The green LED, which during normal operation indicates that a business call is running in the zone

(see figure 5.1, no. 5), indicates that an emergency

call is running in the zone.

• The priority level of the emergency microphone of the voice alarm controller is always 16.

When the emergency button (see figure 5.1, no. 12)

is pushed on the front of the voice alarm controller, an alarm message is automatically started. This message is automatically repeated.

18 Supervision

18.1 Introduction

If the Supervision switch (see figure 17.1) is in the ON

position, supervision is enabled. If it is in the OFF position, supervision is disabled.

If supervision is enabled (see section 18.1), the processor

of the voice alarm controller is supervised by a watchdog. If the watchdog triggers, the Processor reset indicator on the front panel of the voice alarm controller is lit. Then, the program memory is checked and the processor resumes operation within 10 seconds. The indicator remains on until the fault is acknowledged and reset.

Note

Supervision is only necessary for systems that have to comply to the IEC60849 evacuation standard. If the system does not have to comply to this standard, leave the switch in the OFF position.

18.3 Network

If supervision is enabled and network supervision is

switched on (see section 18.1), the connections from the

voice alarm controller to the voice alarm routers and remote controls are supervised. When any voice alarm router or remote control is missing during a network check, a network error is reported.

If the Supervision switch is in the OFF position, the

Disabled indicator on the front panel of the voice alarm

controller is lit (see figure 18.1) to indicate that

supervision is switched off.

supervision is switched on (see section 18.1), the BGM

and spare power amplifiers in the system are supervised.

figure 18.1: Disabled indicator

If the Supervision switch is in the ON position, an indicator is lit when a supervised function fails (see

chapter 28). Use the configuration software to switch

supervised functions on and off.

If supervision is enabled and ground short supervision is

switched on (see section 18.1), the system can

continuously monitor loudspeaker lines in the system for short-to-ground situations. For each loudspeaker line, short-to-ground supervision can be switched on and off with the configuration software.

Note

See the Configuration Software Manual

(9922 141 1038x) for more information about the configuration software.

Note

See the Configuration Software Manual

(9922 141 1038x) for more information about the configuration software.

If a leakage current > 30 + 15 mA is detected in a line, the line is considered faulty.

Plena Voice Alarm System | Installation and User Instructions | Configuration en | 79

If supervision is enabled and input supervision is

switched on (see section 18.1), the system can supervise

the emergency trigger inputs. For each emergency trigger input, supervision can be switched on and off with the configuration software.

18.11.1 Introduction

If supervision is enabled and line supervision (see

section 18.1) is switched on, all loudspeaker lines are

supervised. Line supervision consists of:

Impedance supervision (see section 18.11.2).

Short-to-ground supervision (see section 18.11.3).

Note

See the Configuration Software Manual

(9922 141 1038x) for more information about the configuration software.

If supervision is enabled and mains power supervision is

switched on (see section 18.1), the availability of the

mains power is supervised.

18.11.2 Impedance supervision

If line supervision is switched on, the voice alarm controller measures the impedance of all loudspeaker lines once every 90 seconds (default value). The reference values for impedance supervision are stored in the voice alarm controller during the system calibration

(see section 24.3). If a difference of > 15% (default

value) is detected between the measured line impedance and its reference value, the line is considered faulty.

18.8 Battery

If supervision is enabled and battery supervision is

switched on (see section 18.1), the availability of the

back-up power is supervised.

Note

The default values can be changed with the configuration software.

If supervision is enabled and message supervision is

switched on (see section 18.1), the internal message

manager of the voice alarm controller is supervised.

This message supervision consists of supervision of the wave player using a check-sum and supervision of the audio path using a pilot tone.

Note

See the Configuration Software Manual

(9922 141 1038x) for more information about the configuration software.

18.10 Emergency microphone

If supervision is enabled and emergency microphone

supervision is switched on (see section 18.1), the audio

path and the PTT switch of the emergency microphone are monitored from the capsule to the connection with the voice alarm controller.

18.11.3 Short-circuit supervision

If line supervision is switched on, the voice alarm controller continuously monitors all loudspeaker lines in the system for short-circuits. If a short-circuit is detected, the line output of the short-circuited line is isolated and shut down within 200 ms. The system will remain operational. If the line is dual-redundant connected (A and B), the short-circuited line remains operational as well.

28 Fault state

28.1 Introduction

If a supervised function fails, the system enters the fault state and:

• Starts a beeper. The beeper is switched off when the

fault is acknowledged (see section 28.2).

• Closes the Fault Status NO output contacts. These status output contact is opened again when the fault

is reset (see section 28.3).

• Lights a fault indicator on the front panels that

indicates the source of the fault (see section 28.4).

The indicator is switched off when the fault is reset

(see section 28.3).

28.3 Reset the fault state

Reset the fault state by pushing the Fault Reset button on the front of the voice alarm controller or the remote controls (see figure 28.2). The fault state can also be reset by pushing the Fault Reset button on the fireman’s panel. In order to reset the fault state, it first must be

acknowledged (see section 28.2). When the Fault Reset

button is pushed, the fault indicators are switched off and the status of the system is checked.

• If the fault is not resolved, the fault indicators are switched on again. The beeper remains off. It is only switched on if a new fault occurs or if the resolved fault occurs again.

• If the fault is resolved, the fault indicators remain off.

28.2 Acknowledge the fault state

The beeper can be switched off by acknowledging the fault state with the Fault Ack button on the front of the voice alarm controller or the remote controls (see figure

28.1). The fault state can also be acknowledged by pushing the Fault Acknowledge button on the fireman’s panel.

Emergency Sound Systems

Bosch Security Systems has made a great effort for the design and manufacturing of the components and also supplies all documentation that enables the assembly of a safe and high quality emergency unit in accordance with

IEC60849. Bosch Security Systems has made up this list of requirements, based on the standard, which needs to be filled in and subsequently signed off by both parties. The signed paper has the nature of a certificate and can have significant meaning in the case of a legal investigation of the liability issue for personal injuries.

• The safety of the system in accordance with IEC60849 in an alarm and emergency application does not only depend on component safety, but also highly on the installation engineer and the operator. For example, the sound pressure level of the system depends on the installation. Moreover, the system should only be installed and operated by qualified personnel.

• Modifications of the system should only be executed by authorized persons in accordance with the safety concept and need to be registered in the system documentation.

• If third party components (not delivered by Bosch Security Systems) are added to the minimal configuration of

The Plena Voice Alarm System, then the IEC60849 certification becomes expired.

• Only use a UPS compliant to the current standards and legislation in combination with the Plena Voice Alarm

System.

• The end-user must maintain a journal for the system.

• The installer is responsible for security measures to prevent improper use of the system.

• Bosch Security Systems refuses any liability for damage that might result from non-observance of these instructions.

Herewith the undersigned states that he/she has processed for him/her applicable requirements, as specified in this document, in an adequate way and has confirmed this fact by signing the right most column of each applicable requirement.

The noise level (see B.5) at the time of measurement (but in the absence of the test signal) and the test signal level shall be stated with the test result

Responsibility of the installer.

NOTE -

If the persons who are required to understand the messages are, or will be, reasonably familiar with them through regular system tests, the effective intelligibility tends to increase by approximately 0,05 on the CIS if the intelligibility is in the range 0,6 to 0,7. This may apply, for example, in an office building.

However, in a sports ground, for example, most of the messages are likely to be relatively unfamiliar to the majority of persons present and no relaxation of the above requirement should be considered.

The system specification may exclude from the area of coverage, defined areas rarely or never occupied by people.

IEC60849 - 5.5 Interface with emergency detection system table 10: IEC60849 - Interface with emergency detection system

Requirement Compliance

The communication link between the emergency detection system and the sound system shall be continuously monitored for faults. This is normally performed by the control equipment for the emergency detection system, which gives an audible and visual indication of a fault in the link between the two systems.

The emergency detection system shall also be capable of receiving information regarding faults in the sound system and shall include a provision, usually at its control and indicating equipment, for appropriate audible and visual indication of such faults. As a minimum, the sound system shall be capable of transmitting to the emergency detection system one general "Sound system fault" for any of the fault conditions listed in 5.3 that may occur within the sound system.

The link between a fire detection and alarm system and the voice alarm system is of crucial importance in maintaining the integrity of overall operation. It may be desirable on larger systems, where distributed control equipment is used, to provide a link at each control equipment location rather than to rely on a central location. Each link shall be monitored.

The voice alarm system shall be capable of continuing to broadcast alarm messages, which have been initiated by the fire detection and alarm system, even in the event of a subsequent fault in the interconnecting link between the two systems (i.e. the voice alarm system shall "latch" on receipt of a signal from the fire detection and alarm system).

Interruption by higher priority broadcasts shall still be possible.

In complex buildings in which actions, such as initiation of evacuation signals, silencing of alarm signals, etc., can be implemented at remote voice alarm equipment, consideration shall be given to whether there is a need for such actions to be indicated at any central fire detection and alarm control and indicating equipment.
