4.3 System Overview
The Ampac EV3000 Emergency Warning and Intercommunication System is a microprocessor-based
EWIS system that complies with Australian Standards AS2220.1 and produces Alert and Evacuation
signals compliant with AS1670.4
The EWIS comprises of two sub-systems,
1.
Emergency Warning System (EWS)
The prime function of an EWS is to transmit via speakers in evacuation zones, alert signals, evacuation
signals and public address clearly and reliably.
The EWS can automatically initiate evacuation procedures or be manually operated as well being used
for non-emergency functions, e.g. background music and general PA facilities.
2.
Emergency Intercommunication System (EIS).
The EIS is a totally independent intercommunication system provided to communicate on a one to
one basis from the Master Emergency Control Panel (MECP) to the individual Warden
Intercommunication Points (WIP's) within the evacuation zones.
The EWS and EIS are collectively referred to as the Emergency Warning and Intercommunication
System (EWIS).
