Evacuation Controller Emergency Alarm Panel

This easy to install controller features Auto, Manual, and Isolate modes, selectable via the key switch. When the Auto position is selected the panel will respond to any signal received from the buildings Fire Indicator Board(FIB) or fire alarm. This signal then activates the alert tone.

If after a pre-set time this condition has not been attended to, the panel will change to the evacuation mode. The emergency evacuation tone will continue to sound until the panel has been reset. In the manual position any of the functions may be initiated from the front panel controls. This also isolates the unit so that the alert, evacuation and bell tones will stop. Provisions have been made for BGM source to be played through the controller. BGM is automatically muted when any other function is operated. A microphone input has been included on the front panel. This can be used for either general or emergency paging via our T-521c microphone.

The Voice Message can be simply recorded by setting the rear panel Mic Record switch to ON, and the message can be any length from 1 to 20 seconds. It also provides the 24V DC output to operate 24V amplifiers and control the override relays in our 100v volume controls (T652F) For New Zealand Fire Alarm standards for Evacuation Control Panels it meets the code as follows: With regard to NZS4512-2010 our panel complies with section 207 regarding the operation, control, testing labeling and operation, but has no facility to monitor for defects in other equipment (i.e. open/closed circuit on speaker lines, backup battery charge state etc) as detailed in section 208. It complies with section 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217 and 218 (212 ~ 218 have more to do with your installation than the unit itself and a lot of those refer to other auxiliary devices). 219 and 220 are also met, but the other standards seem to be less relevant to this device than they are to other things attached to the alarm, or dependant on your installation.
