1. IntroductionVoice Alarm (VA) systems are the quickest way to evacuate the public and staff from a building.

Following fire detection, automated messages control the flow of people in stairwells and corridors allowing an orderly evacuation without panic. These messages are supplemented by spoken announcements from the fire service or management suite confirming the validity and need to leave the building.

This positive confirmation speeds evacuation and avoids the “false alarm” mentality reducing the risk of death from fire.

1.1 System DescriptionThe Emergency Evacuation System DAU (Distributed Ampli-fier Unit) and the Emergency Evacuation System EMA (Emergency Microphone All-call) form a simple distrib-uted Voice Alarm system. Each Emergency Evacuation Sys-tem DAU is a single zone Voice Alarm unit. A maximum of 32 Emergency Evacuation System DAUs and a maximum of 8 control microphones, which includes the Emergency Evacuation System EMA, can be connected via an audio and dual data bus network to form a distributed Voice Alarm system.

The network is dual redundant, with isolators on each device for both the audio and data, so a single short circuit or open circuit will not affect system operation. Failure of any node will only affect the zone that node serves.

The BS EN54-16:2013 optional functions with require-ments for the Emergency Evacuation System DAU that were assessed by LPCB are:

• Clause 7.6.2: A manual option to silence the Voice Alarm unit.

• Clause 7.7.2: A manual option to reset the Voice Alarm unit.

• Clause 8.3: Indication of faults related to the transmission path to the Cooper loop fire interface unit, which sits on the Cooper analogue addressable fire panel loop.

• Clause 12: Emergency Evacuation System EMA emergency microphone.


2. Emergency Evacuation System DAUEach Emergency Evacuation System (EES) DAU is a self- contained unit. It can be operated by any FACIE system via local opto-isolated inputs designed to be connected to sounder circuits.

Each Emergency Evacuation System DAU can be remotely operated through the network ports. A Emergency Evacuation System emergency microphone can be used for emergency paging, and manual operation of the three on-board emergency messages Evacuate, Alert, and Test.

Each Emergency Evacuation System DAU has a unique network address between one and thirty two.

In addition to the emergency functions, each Emergency Evacuation System DAU has a local paging input and a local background music input, both of which are over-ridden in emergency mode. A microphone used for non-emergency purposes can be attached to the local paging input for local paging.

The Emergency Evacuation System DAU has four LED indicators on the front panel: Power On (Green), System Fault (Yellow), General Fault (Yellow), and Emergency (Red). These are complimented with a two - line twenty character, backlit LCD module.

Menus on the Emergency Evacuation System DAU are accessed using four navigation buttons. The menu structures have three levels of access: User (access level 1 - no PIN), Manager (access level 2 - PIN protected), and Engineer (access level 3 - PIN protected).

The Emergency Evacuation System DAU network connections provide power to remote devices such as the Emergency Evacuation System EMA microphone. Each network port reports faults occurring on any of the network cable cores. The audio short and audio earth faults cause the operation of the associated audio isolator, preventing these faults affecting other nodes.

Resetting the Emergency Evacuation System DAU can be per-formed by a reset command issued by activating the external fire interface reset opto-isolated input, or manually via menu at Manager or Engineer access level.

Any fault on the Emergency Evacuation System (EES) DAU will cause the fault relay to activate. It is the responsibility of the FACIE to react to the fault triggered.




3. Emergency Evacuation System EMAThe Emergency Evacuation System EMA is an All Call emergency microphone designed to section 12 of EN54-16 designed to be used with the Emergency Evacuation System DAU only.

Each Emergency Evacuation System EMA has a unique network address between one and eight.If two units are of the same priority, a first come, first served operation is observed. The winning microphone illuminates the Speak LED, and the losing one illuminates the Busy LED. If the system is in use by a lower priority microphone, the Busy LED on the high priority will illuminate, and pulse at 1Hz to indicate that it can over-ride the currently used microphone, if required. If over-ridden, the Busy LED will illuminate on the lower priority unit, and the Speak LED will illuminate on the high priority microphone.

A pre-announcement chime is available on each Emergency Evacuation System EMA The chime can be selected as one, two or three notes, allowing different control points to identify themselves. This chime, if selected, is operated when the Speak LED illuminates and can be seen on the articulation meter. To help keep the speech level constant, a compressor limiter is provided in the audio signal processing. The bass level, treble level, output level, and chime level are adjustable for optimum balance.

The audio processing, address, priority and chime settings are restricted from user access with a hinged plate requiring a hex key to gain access, and access to the microphone is via a key lock door.

The Emergency Evacuation System EMA has four manual controls in addition to the PTT. These are buttons that trigger the Evacuate, Alert, and Test messages, and the Cancel message button. Beside each message button there is an LED to show operation of that message on one or more Emergency Evacuation System DAUs.

The Cancel message button will manually silence the VACIE and stop all messages until another fire condition is indicated, or the manual control buttons re-initiate a message.

The microphone contains a close-coupled, noise-cancelling capsule, which is fully monitored for open and short circuit. The audio chain has short circuit isolators that activate to isolate the line, and allow operation in the redundant direction. The data network is protected for open, short and stuck data, so a single network fault will not affect operation.

The Emergency Evacuation System EMA all call emergency microphone is housed in the same enclosure type as the Emergency Evacuation System DAU, with a clear front window and fire key lock preventing unauthorised access to the microphone and controls.



4. SuitabilityVoice Alarm systems are recommended for all public buildings and multi-story buildings over four floors by BS9999 and Building Regulations Document B allows smaller evacuation stairwells in buildings with Voice Alarm fitted.

In public buildings it is not possible to fire drill the public, as they visit the premises infrequently, so systems such as Voice Alarms save valuable time in evacuating the building.

The use of phased messages in multi-story buildings prevents over-crowding in stairwells and at exits, thus preventing secondary injuries. In phased evacuation, the floor in fire receives the evacuate message. The floor above and the floor below receive an Alert message preparing them for evacuation.

In more complex scenarios the use of multiple Alert and Evacuate messages can be beneficial, with messages telling the evacuees that they are going the right way, and messages asking people to make way for people leaving evacuated areas. These additional messages can dramatically speed up the evacuation process, especially in malls and large airport environments.

Emergency Evacuation System DAU has been developed to replace talking sounders in many Voice Alarm applications, and is available in several forms. The Emergency Evacuation System DAU is a complete Voice Alarm system in a single wall mount box which is complete with messages, fire interface, dual 50W monitored amplifiers, EN54-4 compliant power supply, monitored battery charger and the ability to connect non-monitored paging and music directly.

The Emergency Evacuation System DAU has been developed to draw the minimum of current in standby conditions and mutes the music and low priority paging when the AC supply fails, reducing quiescent current to 60mAH, and thus allowing the use of 5AH commodity SLA batteries for full compliance with BS 5839-8.

Connection to fire alarm systems could not be simpler. The Emergency Evacuation System DAU has a built in independent Alert and Evacuate inputs that can be connected to reverse monitored sounder circuits directly. Once activated, the fire signals need to be de-latched by the Reset (Silence) input. For retrofit to systems with relays, a protected 24V auxiliary supply is available on the page port connector.

The speaker lines are monitored using a continuous low current DC system that works with the audio playing. Speaker faults reported are open, short and earth faults. Each speaker fitted to Emergency Evacuation System DAU must have a DC blocking capacitor fitted. The use of DC monitoring allows all cable types (MICC and soft skin) to be used with the system.

Music sources can be plugged directly into the Emergency Evacuation System DAU. The music level can be set using the menu system. When used with a paging microphone, the music mutes instantly and restores gently after paging.



5. PrioritiesThe Emergency Evacuation System DAU has fixed priorities for the audio and control inputs.

Emergency Evacuation System EMA Emergency Microphone in Priority Mode has the highest priority input on the system, designed to be used by the controlling officer.

Emergency Evacuation System EMA Emergency Microphone in Secondary Mode has the second highest priority input on the system, designed to be used by a secondary control point such as the security office.

External Paging Microphone in Emergency Mode has the third highest priority input on the system, designed to be used by other responsible staff.

Message Generator has three messages. All messages latch until reset. Messages are reset from the Emergency Evacuation System DAU Manager/Engineer menus, from the Cancel message button on the Emergency Evacuation System EMA microphone, or by the RESET input from the Fire Alarm input. Messages are prioritised in the following order:

EVACUATE: Triggered from the fire alarm interface or from the Emergency Evacuation System EMA, highest priority message.

ALERT: Triggered from the fire alarm interface or from the Emergency Evacuation System EMA, second highest priority message.

TEST: Triggered from the front panel or from the Emergency Evacuation System EMA, lowest priority message.

Page Input in Page Mode is designed for non-emergency functions such as reception paging. This input has a higher priority than the test message, and other non-emergency messages, but has a lower priority than any emergency input.

Music Input is the lowest priority input and is automatically selected when no other input is exerting a priority. If music is not used, set the level control in the music volume menu to mute.

6. OperationThe Emergency Evacuation System DAU is fully automatic in operation. Manual control can be accomplished via the Manager menu or the Engineer menu.

The Emergency Evacuation System DAU has fully compliant fault monitoring when correctly installed and commissioned. Contact Service if any status indicators are illuminated YELLOW. This is also indicated by a Sounder or Voice Alarm fault on the Fire Alarm Panel if properly commissioned.

9.1 PreparationBefore mounting the Emergency Evacuation System DAU on the wall it is advisable to remove the cable knockouts. Decide how the wiring will be brought into the unit and remove the required knockouts for cable entry. If a knockout is removed, fill the hole with a fire rated gland compliant with BS5839-8.

There are 18 knockouts on the top face available for use. 17 of these knockouts are used for speaker network A, speaker network B, fault relay, fire alarm interface, paging microphone, music input, network in, and network out. The 18th knockout on the top face is used for mains only. Mains SHOULD NOT enter the box by any other hole.

Unused knockouts must be left unopened to comply with the LVD. Accidentally knocked out holes should be blanked off.


9.2 Siting Emergency Evacuation System DAU and VoCALL Voice EMATo comply with standards, the Emergency Evacuation System DAU should be sited in areas of low fire hazard, so that the equipment is unlikely to be involved in a fire before adequate warning has been given. It needs to be located in a readily accessible location. The ambient light level in the vicinity should be such that the visual indications can be clearly seen, controls easily operated, and the instructions and legends easily read. The ambient noise level in the vicinity should not prevent the audible indications from being heard. The ambient temperature should not fall below -5˚C, and should not exceed 40˚C. The ambient humidity should not exceed 93%.

The Emergency Evacuation System EMA should be sited in an appropriate location where both staff and fire-fighters can manage an emergency situation. The Emergency Evacuation System EMA should be sited where the audible indication from third party equipment will not interfere with the use of the microphone. The Emergency Evacuation System EMA should be sited within the same fire zone as a Emergency Evacuation System DAU, at a distance of no more than 3m. The ambient temperature should not fall below -5˚C, and should not exceed 40˚C. The ambient humidity should not exceed 93%.

9.3 Mounting Emergency Evacuation System DAUBefore mounting the DAU on the wall it is advisable to remove the cable knockouts.

The Emergency Evacuation System DAU weighs 10kg with batteries, so care should be taken to securely mount the unit on stud walling.

10. Connecting Emergency Evacuation System DAUTo comply with Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) 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.

10.5. Battery Connections

10.6. Earth Fault Monitoring

Every DAU has an internal jumper located below the PSU connector (bottom right of the PCB) which controls the earth fault monitoring of the network. This jumper should only be left in place on one of the DAUs on the network. The DAU with the monitoring enabled should be the unit that will be visited in the event of a system fault being reported on the EMA or Fire Detection and Alarm System (FDAS).

10.7. EMA Address and Priority SettingThe EMA will arrive set as microphone address 1. If this is the only EMA on the network, then you do not need to change any settings. If there is more than 1 EMA on the network, then each will have to be set up with a unique address. This is done using the 4-switch block located on the left-hand side of the termination PCB inside the EMA.

The 4-switch block has 2 functions; setting the address of the EMA and setting the priority of the EMA.

Each EMA will need to have a different address set for the fault monitoring process.

The EMA with high priority will be able to take control of the audio announcement from any EMA set to low priority. We recommend that only 1 EMA on the network is set to “high priority” and that this EMA is located at the main CIE that will be visited in the event of a fire.

Please see the tables below for the addressing and priority settings. Please note that the when the switch is set in the left hand position, this is counted as OFF; the right hand position is counted as ON.

CAUTION

Before connecting the speaker lines to Emergency Evacuation System DAU, count the number of speakers and note the tapping at which they are set. Most manufacturers will supply speakers at the maximum tapping, or at the half power tapping. This value should not exceed the 50W rating of the Emergency Evacuation System DAU for a single circuit.

It is desirable to have an impedance meter available to measure the AC load of the speaker circuit which will be connected to the Emergency Evacuation System DAU. The measurement on the impedance meter should not be lower than 200 Ohms at 1KHz.

To work out the load from the impedance meter reading use the following equation:

P=10,000/Z

Where

P is the power of the amplifier load

Z is the impedance in Ohms

Note: Once the speaker lines are tested, record the results and the location of the end-of-line devices in the User Log book supplied.

The lines should now be checked for the DC resistance between cores. This should read 9K Ohms if the wires from the Emergency Evacuation System DAU to the end-of-lines are complete.

The speaker lines should also be tested between each core and earth. This should be in excess of 100KΩ. If not, check the cabling. Record the results in the user logbook.

Speaker cables must be earthed to the safety earth connection point. Preferred types are screened soft skin cables such as FP200, although MICC can be used.

11. Emergency Evacuation System DAU Connections


11.4 Cable Length ChartThe following table shows the maximum cable run to achieve a drop of no more than 1dB as required by BS5839-8. The table also takes into account high frequency losses which prevent systems performing to the requirements of BS EN 60849. This means the system needs to achieve a common intelligibility scale value equivalent to 0.5 STI (speech transmission index). This requires a bandwidth of 200Hz to 7kHz.

Note: MICC has shorter runs for the same cross section area due to the higher load capacitance of the cable and the effect this has on high frequency signals.

12. NetworkThe Emergency Evacuation System DAU is designed to network with the Emergency Evacuation System EMA fire microphone and other Emergency Evacuation System units to form a multi-zone Voice Alarm System, which is connected pin for pin as described below:

Network Out connects to Network In on the next device, and so on until the ring is complete.

13. Fire Alarm InterfaceThe Emergency Evacuation System DAU has been designed to connect to virtually any fire alarm system from simple conventional systems, to complex analogue addressable loop systems.

The minimum fire alarm interface, as defined by BS 5839-8, is a monitored signal from the fire panel for Evacuate, a de-latch signal on reset or silence, and a signal from the Voice Alarm to the Fire Alarm Control and Indicating Equipment signalling a fault. The interface monitoring is the responsibility of the Fire Alarm system, and this is usually achieved by using sounder driver outputs from a conventional panel, or monitored sounder interfaces on an addressable loop.

The inputs to Emergency Evacuation System DAU are opto-isolated, and are designed for direct connection to polarised sounder drive outputs. In the normal monitored state, Emergency Evacuation System DAU expects to see between 0V and -33V on the inputs, and between +8V and +33V to trigger a message. To measure the voltage, use the meter black (-) lead on Alert- or Evac- and the meter red (+) lead on Alert+ or Evac+.

Once triggered, the inputs latch. Evacuate always overrides Alert. Since the Fire Alarm monitors this link and not the Voice Alarm, the Voice Alarm will not report a fault if the Alert contact is not used.

To silence messages, the reset connection must have +10 to +33V applied. This can be done from a relay which closes on fire panel reset or silence as shown below. The Alert or Evacuate fire trigger must be removed for Reset to work.

The fault output relay must be connected to the Fire Alarm Control and Indicating Equipment to provide a fault sounder in the event of a fault with the Emergency Evacuation System DAU, otherwise an external fault sounder must be provided to comply with BS5839-8.

NOTE: Messages will always play to the end of the current cycle when RESET. This is a requirement, not a fault.

In this scheme, Alert and Evac require a sounder circuit drive to trigger the message, and the Evac signal end-of-line is in series with the fault relay of Emergency Evacuation System DAU. If the Emergency Evacuation System DAU detects a fault, the fault output relay opens, removing the sounder circuit end-of-line, consequently indicating a sounder fault on the fire alarm system. Alternatively the fault output relay can be wired via a monitored input module to the fire alarm panel.

14. Momentary OperationIf no reset output is available, and you have permission from the authorities or consultant, the Emergency Evacuation System DAU can be set for momentary operation. However this will not comply with the word of BS 5839-8. In this mode the messages will sound when there is a positive voltage across the Alert or Evac terminals. This is configured from the Messages settings menu.

15. Fault Output RelayThe Normally Open and Common contacts of the fault output relay are brought out on this connector. If the contacts are shorted together, this unit is HEALTHY.

16. Page InputThe paging input is an unmonitored line level input. Connect the PTT line to GND to operate. Once operated, paging will mute the music input. Once paging is complete, the music will return gently.

17. Using Third Party MicrophonesThird party microphones can be used with Emergency Evacuation System DAU as long as they can provide a volt free PTT contact, and a balanced line level (0dBV) audio output. A 24V 100mA feed is available on the page connector to provide power to an external microphone pre-amplifier to boost signals from microphone to line level.

Note: the Emergency Evacuation System DAU does not contain a chime generator. The microphone used must provide this if required.

The level of the paging microphone can be independently adjusted using the Page Volume menu.

NOTE: Use of a third party microphone for any emergency purpose is not permitted in LPCB approved installations.

18. Music InputThe music input is connected via a stereo pair. The Emergency Evacuation System DAU is mono in operation. The Left and Right signals are mixed together in the Emergency Evacuation System DAU. If a mono line signal is required, this can be provided to either input.

Music is automatically muted when mains fails in line with BS5839-8 to preserve battery life. The level of the Music can be independently adjusted using the music volume menu.

NOTE: If music is to be broadcast on the Emergency Evacuation System DAU, an appropriate PRS Licence should be obtained within the UK.

19.25 Message LatchThis menu is a configuration menu. It sets the latched state for each message once they’ve been triggered .

Message 1 is the lowest priority message. It is usually assigned as the Test message. The message audio priority can be defined as Test, Alert or Evac.

Test is a non-emergency state that has a lower priority than normal PA paging, but a higher priority than music.

Alert is the lowest priority level defined as Emergency. This level overrides all non-emergency inputs, but is itself overridden by all other emergency inputs.

Evacuate is higher priority than the Alert message. It overrides all inputs except for Emergency pages, either by the Emergency Evacuation System EMA, or another emergency microphone.

If Latch is set to Y, the message will continuously repeat until reset by an external source, or via the silence message menu.

If Latch is set to N, the message will repeat until the triggering source is removed. Once removed, the message will play to the end, and then stops.
