     4. DESCRIPTION OF CONNECTIONS AND SYSTEM ASSEMBLY This entire section is dedicated to installer/maintainer only 4.1 Power supply connection The EV PROM5Z master and EV PROS8Z slaves (if present) must be powered by a 24dv power source coming from an certified EN54- 4 power supply and according to the diagram here below.
  • Page 15 4.2 Installation of the line modules inside the Master EV PROM5Z and Slave EV PROS8Z units The Master unit has five vertical slots on the back to be fitted with EV MCL1Z and/or EV MCL2Z line controllers. It is essential that the slots are filled, starting from the left, in the order shown on the figure below.
  • Page 16  APPLICATION NOTE – 8 ZONES SYSTEM An 8 zones system (with lines A only) is a significant case of study since it is possible to configure Proevac in different ways according to the requirements of the voice alarm equipment for a specific building. The requirements may be in favor of the best effort in case of a failure, or look after the best cost/performance ratio.
  • Page 17 In case we want to minimize the risk of rupture of the main amplifiers by providing one spare for each main amplifier, the system should be setup with one master, seven slaves each fitted with one zone controller and a spare amplifier: ...
  • Page 18  4.3 Connection of the EV PROM5Z master unit to one or more EV PROS8Z slaves The wiring between the master and slave units achieved through the pairs of a UTP CAT 5 cable, pin-to-pin wired on RJ45 plugs and without crossing Audio-Link and Data-Link on connection between the units.
  • Page 19 The Slave units will require to close a line termination on the data bus to allow a proper communication. The EV PROS8Z slave units is delivered from the factory with the jumper OPEN. It is required to close the jumper on the last slave unit of the chain, or in other words, the most “distant” from the master, when: ...
  • Page 20  4.4 Spare amplifier wiring on EV PROM5Z master and EV PROS8Z slave unit. If a spare amplifier is used, it shall be connected to the plug on the back-panel labelled “Spare Amplifier Input/Output”. Please refer to section 3.1 and section 3.2 for proper identification. The connection scheme in the figure below is the same for both master and slave unit.
  • Page 21 The system is compatible with power amplifiers having a floating 100V loudspeaker output; i.e. the output is not referred to the input ground. The amplifier input shall be balanced (differential). The system can handle up to 500W power. The line module can monitor loads starting from approximately 30W. The term “approximately” is appropriated since, during the calibration process, the module will first drive the power amplifier so that its output is 100V on the loudspeakers line, then it will measure the load impedance and the nominal power absorbed by the load at 1KHz and at 18KHz so that all other measurements will not be hearable by the residents in the building.
  • Page 22: Wiring The Line A Module

     4.6 Wiring the EV MCL2Z Line B module The EV MCL2Z module allows to configure a system with two redundant loudspeaker lines (line A + B) feeded by the same power amplifier, thus keeping the independency of the load’s parameters monitoring (impedance and absorbed power). Functionally, the EV MCL1Z module will manage the power amplifier, will perform the monitoring of the main amplifier, of the loudspeaker line A and will read the state of the input contacts that will trigger the alarm messages on the zone.
  • Page 23 When configuring the system for a Line A and line B zone, the installer must wire the EV MCL1Z and EV MCL2Z according to the figure below. The 100V output of the amplifier has to be tied to both modules, so that each of them shall perform the monitoring of the loudspeaker line connected to it.
  • Page 24: Wiring And Configuring The Microphone Stations

     4.7 Wiring and configuring the microphone stations Proevac has two separate and independent busses dedicated to the microphone stations. Each bus can accommodate up to 54 stations for a total of 108. The functions of the microphone stations, the assignments to the zones or groups and related broadcasting rules, are configured via software to BEST.

  • Page 27: Replacing The Clock Battery

    Dip Switch n. 7 selects on which bus, 0 or 1, the microphone station is assigned in the BEST project. Set the switch position accordingly. WARNING: A bus assignement that is not coherent to the connection of the microphone station to the master unit, will return a fault warning.

  • Page 33  LINE SHORT TO GROUND / Load disconnected Indicates that a ground fault was detected on the loudspeaker line (impedance between the loudspeaker ground is less than 50 Ohm). Under this condition, the system will disconnect the loudspeakers from the amplifier in order to prevent a damage.
  • Page 34   USE ZONE AMP This command forces the line module to switch to main zone amplifier. This command should be used in case the zone module has previously switched to the backup amplifier (due to a main amplifier fault detection), or it can be used as a reset of the loudspeaker line status after a short circuit or a ground leackege detection.

All operations described herein are mainly about the diagnostics and the reporting of the state of the system. All information about the configuration, design of the system setup and operating rules of the system are performed through the BEST software.
  • Page 41: Background Music Volume

    If a failure is detected on a main power amplifier, the system will switch to the spare amplifier if this is installed and if it is not being used on another line. After the main amplifier has been replaced or serviced, it is necessary to tell the system to switch back to the main amplifier.
  • Page 42  TECH NOTE: calibration and continuous monitoring of loudspeaker line and power amplifier During the design of the Proevac, a great attention was given to the monitoring of the loudspeaker line and power amplifier. The monitoring is performed independently on each line and amplifier inside the EV MCL1Z and EV MCL2Z modules. Their primary function is not only to feed the lines with the audio programs, but keeping under strict control all audio path outside the system.
  • Page 43 When a change of state is identified (fault warning), the system will not report it when the first out of range measurement is detected, but will repeat a series of close readings and the fault warning is validated only if all them are comparable. This makes the system extremely robust and reliable against of any false error and fault reporting.
