For non-regulatory applications, the tones and voice message can be customised Local PA facility via a built-in electret microphone. Only PA-1 remote desk top microphone can be connected to the standard series of Brooks OWS, PA-8 requires the addition of 4 zone splitter boards.
OWS Standalone Manual MA380 - Rev. 2.4 Speaker output can be split into a max of 48 individual speaker circuits . Each circuit is individually supervised for short and open-circuit faults. Note: Check space availability in the OWS enclosure to mount the 4 Zone Splitter Boards, it may require larger enclosure.
Buzzer To Talk To Talk Figure 2 Main Display Layouts of Brooks Standalone OWS Mode of Operation The OWS has 3 modes of operation as shown in Figure 2: isolate, automatic and manual mode. Only one of these modes can be selected at any one time. A mode is selected by pressing the mode selection button on the display and is indicated by a LED next to the button.

3.6.4 Battery Calculations Brooks BOWS020W, BOWS060W and BOWS120W are fitted with 150 Watt switch mode power supply (BOWS020W can be fitted with 70W or 50W), batteries may vary. The battery capacity is determined by the following: Standby time, the system in quiescent condition and running on batteries only.
OWS Standalone Manual MA380 - Rev. 2.4 Activation time, system in active condition and running on batteries only. Maximum speaker load. Size of audio amplifier in system. The quiescent and activation current consumptions of individual system components. The OWS quiescent current, full load current and the recommended batteries for each system are shown in Table 13 below.
PC via RS232 connection to CON12 on the OWS main control board. If special tones or messages are required, please contact Brooks office to organise the engineering department to upload the required files into the main OWS control board.
OWS Standalone Manual MA380 - Rev. 2.4 INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING The installation and commissioning of Brooks OWS must follow all the relevant standard requirements, such as AS1670.1, AS3000 and AS/NZS3100, and the additional requirements below. Battery Check Check the battery voltage before connecting the batteries. The voltage of each battery should be measured using a certified and calibrated multimeter.
