Public address and voice alarm modules for advanced control, audio and zoning
Rack modules
Rack Modules
Our rack-mounted modules are designed to extend functionality, enhance connectivity, and provide advanced control options for voice alarm systems. Each module fits on a DIN-rail for easy installation and integrates seamlessly via L-Net communication bus with redundant connections for reliability.
Key capabilities across modules:
- Interface modules: enable fiber-optic or copper connectivity for long-distance communication and system integration.
- Zone extension modules: expand speaker line capacity with intelligent switching, dual-path redundancy (A/B), and built-in loudspeaker monitoring for line integrity.
- Amplifier & monitoring modules: support multiple amplifier channels with surveillance features, impedance checks, and end-of-line detection.
- GPIO modules: offer programmable inputs and outputs for external triggers, fire microphone integration, and system status monitoring.
- Audio matrix modules: provide multi-channel audio routing, mixing, and equalization with options for SD-card message playback and network control.
Common features:
- DIN-rail mounting for compact installation.
- Redundant L-net links for communication and power.
- IP based audio processing
- Addressable architecture for scalable system design.
- Compliance with EN54-16 standards for voice alarm systems.
Product specifications
4E-SW6 & SW6-LITE
Technical basic specifications
- din-rail mountable
- directly connected to a single/dual output line of the C500 / DCA2.500 amplifier. The SW6 Zone extender and switching module subdivides the signal path A & B into 6x additional surveilled speaker-line outputs
- all SW6-outputs can be individually addressed and are carrying signal path A or B
- each output can switch to internal 20kHz line surveillance generator (path C)
- each switched output zone requires an EOL-device for line-integrity detection
- maximum load: 500W per channel
- redundant L-Net link, 2xRJ45
- addressable: 0-255
- EN54-16
- NO loudspeaker-line surveillance
- NO need for EOL
- Specially tuned for Loopdrive-LDB loads
- Specially tuned for loudspeaker zoning without loudspeaker surveillance
