    VIGIL BVR20 MICRODRIVE The BVR20 (Microdrive) is the heart of the Voice Alarm system that accepts all of the audio inputs and provides the outputs for the whole voice alarm system. Up to 20 audio inputs can be routed through to up to 20 outputs (zones) in any configuration. The inputs range from any microphone or line level source to the emergency messages and background music.

    FAULT REPORTING AND STATUS PAGES (Available in “normal” mode i.e. without turning the “system configuration” key.) In normal operation mode this unit indicates the condition of the system via the front panel display. Under normal - i.e. non-fault - conditions the green healthy indicator will illuminate, the fault relay will be energised and the sounder will be silent.

  • Page 13 Note: Surveillance for inputs 1-9 is sampled from output 1 and therefore associated inputs on output 1 must be set to a value greater than 05 to prevent input audio faults. Surveillance for inputs 10-16 is sampled from outputs 2-8 respectfully, i.e. input 10 from output 2, input 16 from output 8 and therefore the associated inputs on the relevant outputs must be set to a value greater than 05 to prevent input audio faults.

  • Page 18 The maximum input sensitivity without attenuation is 80mV (-20dBM). However the gain may be reduced using a fine and coarse attenuator. The fine provides 15dB of attenuation in approximately 1dB steps and the coarse provides 30 dB in 2dB steps. Setting the attenuator correctly will prevent overloading the input stage and easier adjustment of the system.

  • Page 38 BVR20 Microdrive General Description The Baldwin Boxall Ambient Noise System is based around the BVR20 Microdrive. BVRAMB ambient noise sensors are connected to the BVR20 via BVRCI interface cards. The BVRCI cards connect via ribbon cable assemblies to BVRIO40 cards located in the BVR20.
  • Page 39 BVRAMB Ambient Noise Sensors Care should be taken in the positioning of the BVRAMB ambient noise sensors, they need to be as close to the ambient noise source as possible, and as far away from the loudspeakers as possible. Do not position them in the dispersion angle of the loudspeakers, or close to a permanent noise source (air conditioning, fruit machines etc) In high ceiling rooms position the sensor so that it closer to the floor than the ceiling Cables should be 3-core fire rated, with a conductor cross sectional area of 1.0mm or...
  • Page 40 Setting Up The Ambient Noise Sensing function is controlled either from the BVR20 front panel, or a Laptop Computer if the Configuration software is fitted. The following identifies the BVR20 LCD screens, and assumes that the user has access authority. With the System Configuration Keyswitch in the ON position, press the PAGE DOWN key, the first page will identify the software version of the BVR20.
  • Page 41 The right hand of the screen displays the two ambient noise sections. ANS displays the returned signal from the sensor; this is a dynamic figure and will vary between -00 and -12 with the ambient noise. The figure –00 represents no attenuation, whereas –12 represents the maximum (20dB) of attenuation.
  • Page 42 Software Versions BVR8-30. Released 25-10-2001 Faster response time from ANS sensors. BVR8-43. Released 21-07-2003 Under high reverberation conditions it is possible that the level increase inhibit detector is not effective and the echo is sensed as ambient noise during pauses in the broadcast message. This run away is made more apparent if the sensor sensitivity is set too high and in a tunnel environment.
