Application: Hotel

2.5.1

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.
2.5.2

Requirements

In addition to mandatory voice alarm functionality for
evacuating guests and staff, an Econtroller 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.

2.5.3

Solution

A Plena voice alarm controller handles routing to up to
6 zones, the additional 6 zones require a router. Both
the reception and office are equipped with call stations
plus keypads 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.

Power requirements

The system controller features a built-in 240 W booster
amplifier, able to drive up to 40 loudspeakers (6 W).
Additional Plena booster 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. The zones are defined
as shown in the table opposite.
