Voice Evacuation New Alarm System

History
From Background Music to Automatic Voice Alarms

• For a long time PA systems have been used to
  distribute background music and paging
  announcements into public areas

• Nowadays these PA systems that have evolved
  into Integrated Voice Evacuation systems, are
  used to warn people who face various life
  threatening situations

• In an emergency situation it has become
  essential to have Automatic Voice Alarms in
  conjunction with Alarms. ?

Security

• Voice Alarm Systems
• Clear instructions allow a controlled evacuation
  without panic
• The requirements for a secure Voice Alarm System
  are written in the European standard EN 60849

TOA follows these requirements with its systems
of the
4
Venas Systems

• VM-2000-Series
• The integrated PA System Manager for small to
  medium sized PA systems, 120 or 240 watts
• VX-2000-Series
• The modular System for medium to large PA
  systems
• Fully compatible with EN 60849
• Easy system configuration via PC
• Easy maintenance via PC

Automatic Fire Area Related Alarm (Example)

• Tower Building with Several Fire Areas

• Fire in the 5th floor

• the fire detecting system (FDS) controls the
  VX-2000 specifically

• The VX-2000 starts an Evacuation message for
  the 5th and 6th floor

• It also starts a Warning message for the other
  floors simultaneously

• The fire increases

• The fire detecting system controls further
  control inputs of the VX-2000

VX-2000

• The VX-2000 starts an Evacuation message for
  all floors

Manual Intervention into the Automatic Alarm
(Example)

• The Fireman Operates the Firemans Microphone

• Fire on the 5th floor. The automatic evacuation
  message is broadcast to the 5th and 6th floor,
  and a warning message to the other floors

• The fireman decides to evacuate all upper floors.
  He manually activates the evacuation message for
  these areas on the firemans microphone

• The fire is extinguished. The fireman activates
  the all-clear message on the firemans microphone.

Redundancy, Economy Mode (1)

• Redundancy
• Automatic Switch-Over to Stand-by Amplifier
• Power Supply can be designed redundant
• (at a power supply units loss, another power
  supply unit takes over the supply)
• If the CPU fails, it is still possible to make an
  all-call from the firemans microphone
• Automatic Reset
• Surveillance and automatic Reset of the CPU via
  Watchdog timer

30
Redundancy, Economy Mode (2)

• Economy Mode
• Stand-by Function of Power Amplifiers
• In economy mode, the power consumption of the
  power amplifiers is reduced when not in use
• At battery operation the current consumption is
  extremely reduced, and the batterys capacity can
  be designed lower than usual
• quick readiness of the power amplifiers
