Introduction What is an Emergency Voice Communication System? An Emergency Voice Communication System, or EVCS, is a system that allows voice communication in either direction between a central control point and several other points throughout a building or building complex, particularly in a fire or emergency. The control points, or outstations by which they are more commonly referred, generally comprise of a Type A outstation, a Type B outstation, or a Type C Combined Type outstation.
Important Safety Information This Equipment must only be installed and maintained by a suitably skilled and competent person. This Equipment is defined as Class 1 in EN IEC62368-1:2020+A11:2020 (Low Voltage Directive) and must be EARTHED. Caution Indoor Use Only Shock Hazard- Warning Isolate Before Opening TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC...

Installation EVC line Mains Connections Supply Relay Contacts Figure 2 Prior to mounting the HC-228S Master Station, it should be decided if the field wiring is to be run on the surface or concealed. There are 14 knockouts on the top and 2 slotted entries with a dedicated mains supply entry at the rear.
The HC-228S Master Station weighs 6kg with batteries, so care should be taken to securely mount the Station on stud walling. Connecting the HC-228S Master Station To comply with EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) regulations and to reduce the risk of electrical interference in the system wiring, the use of fire-resistant screened cables is recommended throughout the installation.
5.3.6 HC-228S Master Station Wiring The wiring for a HC-228S Master Station is shown in the schematic below. Figure 4 Mains Connection Figure 5 Each HC-228S Master Station requires local isolation with verification as per the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, returning to a B6A breaker clearly marked “EMERGENCY VOICE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM.
Safety Information: Sealed Lead Acid batteries contain sulphuric acid which can cause burns if exposed to the skin. The low internal resistance of these batteries mean large currents will flow if they are accidentally short-circuited causing burns and a risk of fire. Exercise caution when handling batteries.
5.6.1 Type A outstation Figure 6 Note: The Earth screen should be sleeved and connected to the terminal block in the controller, and the earth stud in the Type A outstation. 5.6.2 Type B outstation Figure 7 Note: The Earth screen should be sleeved and connected to the terminal block in the controller, and the earth connection in the metal back box (if a plastic back-box is used cut the earth back and insulate at the outstation.)

5.6.3 ACA Accessible Toilet Kit Figure 8 The ACA kit comprises an Over door Indicator, a pull cord and a cancel plate and they can be wired in any order, the above is typically as installed, and runs Overdoor Plate, ceiling Pull and then the Cancel plate, the EOL resistor goes in the free terminals of the last plate.
Figure 13 Adding a Line Card The HC-228S Master Station is supplied with at least one number Line Card. There are 2 lines per Line Card. Before adding a Line Card, ensure that the HC-228S Master Station is not powered. If the HC-228S Master Station is powered, then power down the HC-228S Master Station (see 5.9).
Panel Indicator Test To test the panel indicators, enter either the access level 2 (code: 1664) or access level 3 (code: 1812) menu, then press zone button 2. All LEDs will illuminate in a predefined sequence, and the buzzer will sound. Press zone button 8 to stop the panel indicator test and to return to the menu options.
Button Relay Option Not Used EVCS & Assist Call EVCS only Assist Call Only Relay activates on any call, Relay de-energises on master handset pickup Relay operates when call not answered /acknowledged (EVCS and Assist Call) Exit Operation All conversations are under the command of the HC-228S Master Station. Receiving a call One of the eight zone LEDs and the mode LED will flash red to indicate an incoming call.
Accepting Faults Before accepting faults, the fault must be noted in the log book, along with the time the fault was reported. To accept the fault, enter either the access level 2 (code: 1664) or access level 3 (code: 1812) menu, then press zone button 1.
