4E-FSC (optical fibre interface). Controller The 4EVAC Controller is the head unit of the 19” rack mounted Impact Voice Evacuation System. The controller covers complete EN54-16 certified functionality, as well as a variety of features essential to Public Address applications.
Page 4
Author: IMPACT reference system manual (Typical ) Design revision: The Controller is dedicated to working with 4EVAC DCA2.500 power amplifiers over the 4EVAC proprietary AMP LINK protocol. The Controller can also be easily integrated with any third-party PA/VA power amplifier.
16, DCA2.500 is an ideal component of any voice evacuation system or public address installation, where high reliability and safety is required. The primary application of the DCA2.500, using 4EVAC proprietary AMP LINK protocol, is to work as a native component of the 4EVAC Impact voice evacuation system. However, thanks to the I/O interface and built-in autonomous functions, the DCA2.500 can be easily integrated with any third-party PA/VA matrix...
IMPACT reference system manual (Typical ) Design revision: 4E-SW6 is a DIN-rail mounted 100V audio matrix with 2 inputs and 6 outputs, dedicated to both 4EVAC Compact and Impact systems. The 4E-SW6 has two 100V audio inputs (CHA, CHB) which connect directly to amplifier outputs.

Hacousto Holland bv Industrieweg 87 2651BC Berkel & Rodenrijs Author: IMPACT reference system manual (Typical ) Design revision: Additional electrical safety requirements for the housing The system housing must be equipped with at least one protective earth terminal with a permanent way of fixing, such as nut or bolt.
Mains connection must be connected in a permanent way to the mains network of the building; • The external circuit feeding mains input of the Impact system must be equipped with an automatic • overload protection and automatic earth-leakage protection.
Hacousto Holland bv Industrieweg 87 2651BC Berkel & Rodenrijs Author: IMPACT reference system manual (Typical ) Design revision: 5. Maximum battery capacity of single DCA2.500 is 100Ah. 4.4.3. Battery temperature probe Connect the NTC thermal probe (included with DCA2.500) to the “Battery probe” input of the DCA2.500.
More information about DUAL AUX input module available at 4EVAC on request. In an Impact system, connect the amplifiers to the AMP LINK into a daisy chain, starting from the Controller. Amplifiers will be addressed and managed by the Controller according to the connection order, i.e. the first amplifier connected directly to the Controller receives the address of Amp 1, next the address of Amp 2, etc.

AMP LINK address of the amplifier, according to software configuration settings for Impact amplifiers. Settings and commands will be applied by the controller according to that addressing. Use a straight twisted pair CAT5 (or higher) cable with RJ45 plugs (included with DCA 2.500 amplifier). Any standard Ethernet patch cable may be used.
Author: IMPACT reference system manual (Typical ) Design revision: 4.4.6. Network ports The Impact controller offers 5 ports (RJ-45) for network connections between distributed parts of the 4EVAC Voice Evacuation System: 2 x G-Net ports (global network) • 3 x L-Net ports (local network) •...
4.4.7. L-Net (local network) L-Net daisy-chain topology is dedicated to peripheral devices of the Controller, such as remote microphone stations. The L-Net is used to expand functionality of the Impact system to remote locations. Maximum capacity of L-Net is: Max. 500mA DC continuous power per port Max.
