Page 11: Vigil3 Module Connections
2.1 VIGIL3 M ODULE ONNECTIONS The VIGIL3 Voice Alarm system is completely modular in nature. Audio Input and Output modules are connected together in a large Ethernet based loop (no switches required) to form a single Voice Alarm Control and Indicating (VACIE) system. -

VIGIL3 Voice Alarm Overview, Architecture and Configuration Please see a typical single rack VIGIL3 Voice Alarm System Block Diagram below. Figure 2.1 — Typical single rack VIGIL3 system 2.2 C ENTRALISED VS ISTRIBUTED ETWORKED YSTEMS VIGIL3 systems can be realised as centralised (single rack) or decentralised (networked systems). - Page 13 Please see the VIGIL3 Networking Installation Manual for more information regarding these modules. Regardless of the type of system all VIGIL3 Audio modules are connected in a single fault tolerant Ethernet loop. : It is important to maintain the Network Out -> Network In convention throughout a VIGIL3 system.

Page 14: Audio Input And Output Numbering
NPUT AND UTPUT UMBERING VIGIL3 systems can be realised up to a maximum of 800 outputs and 400 inputs. Input and output numbering is dependent on the ID of the BV3AOM8 or BV3AIM2/4 module. The following tables illustrate the input and output numbering conventions used in a VIGIL3 system;... - Page 15 BVRDTSM configuration. For BDM/BFM microphones the mapping of button to output is performed in the VIGIL3 Configuration (BDM/BFM Access Profile). The configuration of the physical microphone is identical meaning that Vigil 2 microphones can be replaced without altering any configuration settings.

Page 16: Audio Priorities
2.5 A UDIO RIORITIES VIGIL3 systems support a total of 254 priorities that can be allocated to audio inputs and DVA messages. Priority 1 is the highest and 254 is the lowest. A higher priority input will override a lower priority input. -

2.7 F ANEL NPUTS Fire panel inputs in a VIGIL3 system can be connected to either BVRDFPI CAN bus Fire Panel Interface modules or to BV3FPI Fire Panel Interface Modules. Facilities are provided for the connection of Fire Panel specific EOL resistors to enable the fire panel to monitor the connection to the VIGIL3 System. - Page 18 Cause and Effect rules should be created in order to push “Effects” out to other BV3AOM8 modules. This will ensure that in the event of catastrophic system failure (i.e. due to fire damage) the remaining system will continue to function as expected.

Page 19: Power Distribution
Overview, Architecture and Configuration 2.9 P OWER ISTRIBUTION VIGIL3 implements a propriety Power Over Ethernet (POE) mechanism in order to simplify cabling during rack design and build. Power is carried on spare conductors of the Ethernet cable meaning that not all modules require a separate power connection. -
Page 20: Real Time Clock
Figure 2.2 — VIGIL3 Power Distribution : If a BV3AOM8 is to have a VIGIL3 fan controller connected to it via CAN Bus then this unit must also be connected to a BVMBC due to the power demands of the fans. -
Page 21: Fault Indication
Overview, Architecture and Configuration 3 Fault Indication Faults in a VIGIL3 system are global, each BV3AOM8 module maintains both a fault log and a list of active faults. Assuming there are no “islanded” modules (due to 2 x network cabling failures) all fault logs / lists should be identical. - Page 22 VIGIL3 Voice Alarm Overview, Architecture and Configuration Faults in a VIGIL3 System are self describing and contain several elements as shown in the screen shot from the Live Faults Display in the VIGIL3 configuration software below; Figure 3.1 — VIGIL3 Configuration Live Faults View The elements shown are described below;...
