Page 3: What Is The 4E-Sw6
4E-SW6 module, feeding maximum 6 loudspeaker lines – outputs of 4E-SW6. 4E-SW6 is controlled by the main system controller (Compact 500 or Impact Controller) via L-Net, receiving in real time routing information for each output line in order to connect to channel A, channel B or internal bus C. -
Page 4: What Is The Sw6-Lite
SW6-LITE is a special version of the SW6 that works with LoopDrive LDB ONLY! SW6-LITE has no ability to provide speaker line integrity. The SW6-LITE ‘sits’ in front of LDB and provide audio zoning from amplifier (COMPACT / IMPACT) to LDB. -
Page 5: Configuration Settings
Configuration settings Settings for 4E-SW6 are included in the configuration file located on micro SD memory card installed in the Compact 500 / Impact CONTROLLER unit. Configuration file includes user-defined settings, such as:... -
Page 6: Hardware Installation And Settings
In single channel mode 4E-SW6 works as 1x6 matrix. Only one audio signal can be distributed over 6 output zones. Each output zone of SW6 can be either transmitting signal from input A, or remain silent (internal surveillance bus). In case of multiple sources attempting to occupy channel A, system controller (Compact or Impact) transmits the top priority signal, while the other signals are suspended. -
Page 7: Dual Channel Mode
4E-SW6. Compact 500 is capable to operate with max. 3 x 4E-SW6 in dual channel mode, each fed by 2 of 6 amplifier channels available in Compact. Maximum total load in this case is 3 x 100W (100W per 4E-SW6), maximum number of individual zones is 18. -
Page 8: Eol Module
Once the loudspeaker lines are connected and EOL boards mounted at the end of every line, you can calibrate EOL measurement to currently detected impedance value @20kHz. As result of calibration the reference impedance value is saved for every line to the internal memory of SW6. Page 8 of 26... -
Page 9: Live Monitoring Of Eol Impedance Measurement
1. Check load: measure every loudspeaker line individually with impedance meter and check if the load is as expected. During measurement lines should be disconnected from SW6. 2. Check EOL: make sure that EOL board is properly connected at the end of every loudspeaker line. - Page 10 Live Monitoring feature of the 4EVAC Manager GUI application, where you can observe exact impedance at 20kHz of each loudspeaker line, in real time. (More information on how to use 4EVAC Manager you can find in 4EVAC Manager User Manual).

Page 13: Operation Of Sw6 With Compact
Wait for line fault detection 5.2.5 Operation of SW6 with Compact: If inputs of 4E-SW6 are attached to power amplifier of Compact 500 in system settings (see 4EVAC manager GUI manual), and output lines of 4E-SW6 are attached to zones, then the 4E-SW6 can route each of the outputs to any input, depending on routing command from main controller. -
Page 14: Operation Of Sw6 With Impact
5.2.6 Operation of SW6 with Impact: If inputs of 4E-SW6 are attached to an amplifier in system settings (see 4EVAC manager GUI manual), and its output lines are attached to zones, then the 100V matrix can route each of the outputs to any input, depending on routing command from main controller. -
Page 15: Fault Detection, Backup Amplifier Function
GUIDE V04 5.2.7 Fault detection, backup amplifier function Input fault If input monitoring is enabled, then SW6 will measure of 20 kHz tone coming from this input. If the signal is not detected, input fault is generated. Backup amplifier function When both inputs CHA and CHB are enabled and monitored, 4E-SW6 by default supports automatic backup amplifier function. -
Page 16: Dc Input
L-Net port (see power consumption in specification sheet). If you need to connect more than 2x SW6 modules to the same L-Net bus, then you need to provide additional 24V DC power line via the power connector on all SW6 modules connected to the same L-Net bus. -
Page 17: Indications
4E-SW6: 24V DC input 5.4. Indications SW6 has 2 bi-colour LED indicators per output. Status is given individually per speaker line. Additionally general status of booting mode or calibration mode is also displayed on LEDs. LED indicators show status of each output line, including: a. -

Page 19: Network Ports
GUIDE V04 5.5.1 Network ports 4E-SW6 offers 2 L-Net ports (RJ-45) for network connections to C500 main unit and distributed parts of the 4EVAC Voice Evacuation System. Both L-Net ports are equal, therefore it makes no difference which port is connected to which side of L-Net daisy-chain. -
Page 20: Network Cabling
5.5.3 Network cabling 4EVAC network features full duplex RS-422 data link and 24V DC power to remote devices. If you’re building distributed system using 4EVAC network, you should make physical links between devices using the right cables. Cabling should meet following requirements: 1. -
Page 21: Device Id
5.6. Device ID SW6 needs ID setting in order to be properly recognized in the network and operate. If the device ID is duplicated or set to a wrong value, the device will not receive correct configuration settings from the master Compact 500 main unit. -
