6.1.1.3 AutroVoice miniVES series 2001L, 4001L and 4002L units

AutroVoice miniVES series 2001L, 4001L and 4002L units were designed to perform minor VAS system or serve as an extension

unit in complex systems. In case of lack of connection with a superior unit, thanks to local conguration, it is able to carry out a re scenario. The device attached to the main system communication “ring” can receive alarm signals and digital signals and send them to other system devices.

In comparison to previously presented 2001,4001, 4002 and 2001N, 4001N, 4002N series units these devices are equipped with a 4.5” touch screen LCD display which allows direct access to management and entire system monitoring functions.

The Control Unit’s main functions are:

» Dividing audio signals into particular zones and overseeing proper operation of particular zones.

» Controling loudspeaker lines.

» Detecting and signalling damage.

» Activating internal back-up amplier module.

» Each unit is equipped with a built in communication card which provides one audio input and one audio output intended

to connect amplier inputs. Its diagram has been presented below.

Every central unit except the DFMS-BOX can work independently.

6.1.2 Extension cards

Every individual element of the system has a set of functions related to sending audio signal, system operation (operation or event reporting), as well as auto-diagnostics.

6.1.2.1 ABT-xNET_mini-1Gb/WAN/RS communication card

ABT-xNET_mini-1Gb/WAN/RS is a communication card consisting of two independent 1Gbit network switches. The network switch

no.1 is intended solely to transmit data related to basic AutroVoice miniVES system functions, that is performing tasks of alarm voice system and AVB support. The network switch no. 2 is intended for remote connections. The card supports TCP/UDP/PTP/DHCP protocols and assures audio data exchange in CPU-OFF mode via an innovative Autronica protocol. Additionally, this card is equipped with RS485 port which implements and integrates AutroVoice miniVES with any system, e.g. SAP. Another advantage is support of PoE technology to power, e.g. reman microphone.

Drawing 9. ABT-xNET_mini-1Gb/WAN/RS communication card

Unlike the AutoVoice MULTIVES system in the AutroVoice miniVES devices the communication card also doubles as the main CPU card. It is responsible for reproducing audio messages from the SD card and sharing them locally or globally while also performing system and control functions.

The card is capable of reproducing 8 messages at a time and supports SD cards up to 32 GB for individual messages, as well

asevent or defect logs or system update les.

The communication card:

has two switches (2 LAN 10/100/1000 ports), system (for VAS communication) and for remote connections (disconnected during re-ghting) (1 LAN/WAN 10/100 port – congurable working mode),

» is equipped with VAS switch with AVB support,

» allows 1Gb/s transmission speed and has optical-ber interface (2 connectors for SFP modules),

» supports TCP/UDP/PTP/DHCP protocols,

» assigns IP addresses dynamically,

» thanks to replaceable libraries, RS485 port (ModBus) allows implementation of other protocols,

» has PoE feature,

can support two logic inputs or two relay outputs (every channels is congured on a case-by-case basis, and by default, both are set as logic inputs) relay outputs NC/NO,

» in CPU-OFF mode. It transmits audio data via independent protocol,

» in the future it will allow using network infrastructure for other Audio-Video purposes.

To connect communication cards and reman microphone via an optical cable, it is required to use highly-reliable low power

consumption SFP 1,25Gbps optical modules.

SFP modules operate with single or multiple-mode optical bers sending information with up to 1,25Gbps. They transmit data through optical ber pairs (duplex). Both SC and LC connectors can be used, the unit also supports digital optical monitoring (DOM).

6.1.3 Built in amplier modules

The AutroVoice miniVES systems are equipped with built in amplier modules. This enables standalone operation

as a complete VAS system.

Built in amplier module options:

1. 2001 series units use two 160W amplier modules and a single switchable transformer. This enables one of the ampliers to work as the main unit while the second one provides redundancy

2. 4001 series units use two 320W amplier modules with two transformers. This enables one of the ampliers to work as the main unit while the second one provides redundancy

3. 4002 series units use two 320W amplier modules with two transformers. This enables both of the ampliers to work either simultaneously with the total output limited to 320W or with one used as main and the other one as backup.

Ensure that the volume level of audio sources is set to minimum and the loudspeakers and all equipment are connected properly before turning the amplier on.

CAUTION: The system is activated about 3 seconds after turning the device on. This is the regular operation of the amplier that results from work of embedded automatic protection of circuits, loudspeakers and other connected components.

The reman microphone is intended to do the following:

» transmit voice messages or system warning and evacuation messages to selected zones during re-ghting,

» activate emergency messages,

» call general-purpose messages,

» select particular zones,

» send voice messages "live”.

The microphone power is supplied locally by a certied re cord (48V) or remotely by PoE.

The device has programmable function buttons which can be assigned given functions. It is also possible to connect up to

Every functional button can be associated with any VAS function possible to perform by a button push. The button function isset by program, during VAS system conguration. Depending on the function assigned to the functional button, the meaning of visual indicator signaling changes.

Detailed description of the functions that can be assigned to buttons is given in section 12.10.1 - Functions.

Functions related to alarming and sending messages via microphone:

» Alarm mode

» Failure Accept

» Failure Delete

6.2.4.2 Functional buttons signaling

Function button LED signalning is dependent on the function which is presently assigned to the button.

When the button serves to select a zone, the signaling is as follows:

» Message sending indicator:

 Green ashing – when verbal message is sent via reman microphone “live” in the given zone.

 Green constant light – when in the given zone the following is reproduced:

• In normal mode – verbal message from zone microphone, music background or alarm canceling.

 Red ashing – when in the given zone a warning message informing about danger is reproduced.

 Red constant light – when in the given zone an automatic evacuation message forcing persons in this zone to leave

the plant immediately is reproduced.

 Yellow ashing – in case of system failure.

 Yellow constant light – when failure was accepted or when one of the zones has been locked

(optionalfunction from EN 54-16 norm).

 Blue ashing – when intercom communication is requested.

 Blue constant light – when intercom communication is activated.

 Red ashing – when microphone message is being recorded.

 LED steady light – when recorded message is played out.

 Cyan ashing – when audio monitoring from the given zone is active.

 Magenta ashing – when voice alarm status is delayed (optional EN 54-16 norm, point 7.4).

Availability/zone selection indicator – green LED lights once the button corresponding to a given zone has been

pushed. This indicates that the zone is ready to receive either microphone input or a message saved in system memory.

When the button is associated with failure signaling, the indication is as follows:

» Failure indicators:

 Flashing of the microphone extension LED and steady yellow light of the collective failure LED – signals system failure.  Sound signal is generated at the same time (on microphones and Control units with LED displays.  Failure must be conrmed by pressing button next to ashing diode.  Once it has been pressed, the LED light is constant until the failure has been eliminated.

7.4 Preparing sound system for VAS application

Cabinet assembly

Carefully mark loudspeaker line cables, control cables and power cables. Upon routing the cables provide at least 3m of margin, measured from the oor. Anticipate empty service space behind the cabinet (at least 50 cm from the wall). Make sure there is a gap between the back of the cabinet and the wall.

Messages recorded on memory cards

Dene content, language and type of recorded messages on memory cards. (Emergency messages should suit the building and be conrmed by the Fire Marshal). To record messages, please contact Autronica employee who is responsible for VAS start-up.

Emergency messages:



EVACUATI ON – potential life hazard requiring evacuation – the message instructs all inhabitants to leave the building immediately,

 WARNING – situation in which danger is imminent and requires warning during evacuation,

 CANCELLATION – information that the alarm has been cancelled and there is no danger on the site,

 NO HAZARDS – operational messages, e.g. system testing.

Fire scenario and control between FACIE and VAS

Please prepare a re scenario which involves an algorithm of cooperation between SAP and VAS systems. (This algorithm should be accepted by the Fire Marshal). Make sure that a sucient number of cable connections is made between the FACIE re signallingcentral unit and the VAS cabinet to allow triggering of the evacuation message and reporting error state. When connecting the FACIE central unit to VAS, re resistant cables with the rating of at least PH30 must be used. As for control algorithm, please consult Autronica employee responsible for VAS start-up.

Loudspeaker lines

Please check if the loudspeaker lines have been routed in accordance with the blueprint the number of loudspeakers per single line, selection of the correct power on speaker transformers, proper line description compliant with the blueprint). Use the meter (e.g. ohmmeter or multimeter) to check for short-circuits between loudspeaker line and earthed elements. Next, check for short-circuits or open-circuits between loudspeaker line wires.

While assembling loudspeakers, the wires must be connected to the tap of the speaker transformer corresponding to the

correct power as specied in the blueprint. Incorrect power setting can lead to amplier overload. In the process of system startup, it causes unwanted time and resource loss.

Power supply

The AutroVoice miniVES units accept Single-phase 230V AC power. While connecting the power supply, make sure that each unit

is provided with a separate circuit and choose proper means of protection.

The cable supplying the AutroVoice miniVES unit with current should bypass the site’s main power switch. (Use at least 3x 1.5 re

resistant cable with PH90 rating). The power cord must be led to the target place where VAS cabinet is assembled. The cabinet power supply circuit must be protected with a residual current device.

System start-up by Autronica employees

The sound system must be prepared according to the instructions above. Before the team responsible for VAS system start-up

arrives, contact Autronica with information that “system is completed and ready for start-up” along with start-up date. Makesure the technicians have access to the room intended for VAS cabinets, reduce the number of third parties at the time when the system is installed. It is strictly forbidden to perform any works in the VAS assembly room by personnel unauthorized to install

VAS cabinet. Once the system has been started, conduct a training related to system operation for sta responsible for proper

system use, and prepare relevant protocols.

Speech comprehensibility testing

Pursuant to provisions of EN 60849 norm, each Voice Alarm System (VAS) installation must be followed by speech comprehensibility tests. These tests aim to conrm that the installed sound devices are able to produce a suitable acoustic power which allows obtaining a required sound pressure level (SPL), as well as a high degree of RASTI speech comprehensibility – in accordance with assumptions in the specication. The tests must be performed on a system operating in alarm mode and without the use ofdynamic range compressors.

The scheduled system test must be arranged with sta responsible for administration of the building and Autronica employee.

Make sure to provide access to rooms in which tests are supposed to be carried out (as a rule – all rooms in the building). Please notify personnel staying in the building (i.e. plant administrator) that tests will involve unpleasant and noisy signals emitted by loudspeakers.

9. Instruction for performing tests and trials

In order to conrm that AutroVoice miniVES VASCU works properly, perform a series of basic eciency tests in accordance with the program below. Indicators and manual control elements used to perform the tests have been described in previous chapters.

9.1 Instructions for performing basic functions

9.1.1 Alarm mode

Activating alarm mode

Lift red button ap (alarm button “activate Evacuation”) and press it. However AutroVoice miniVES system is not equipped with the red button protected by the ap. That means that pressing once the red button on the front panel of AutroVoice miniVES activates the 5 seconds procedure (Evacuation button starts blinking RED) during which the system waits for second press of the button. Finishing this two steps procedure activates Alarm Mode. Green LED indicators will emit light in all sound system zones.

The system enters alarm state and automatically activates all zones. In this state, music background and zone microphones are

disconnected. It is still possible to send automatic alarm messages or via reman microphone. The system awaits messages to given zones. The alarm state applies until the programmed as ”cancel alarm” is pressed.

Cancelling alarm

During alarm state, press “Cancel Alarm” button. VASCU enters standby mode, all alarm messages are muted and background music is restored.

Sending evacuation messages

Activate alarm and select zones. A green LED next to the zone name means the zone is ready to transmit. Press “Evacuation” button. A constant red indicator next to green zone selection indicator means that evacuation message is being sent. The evacuation

message will be played back in given zones in a continuous way, until the button “cancel alarm” is pressed.

Sending warning messages

Activate alarm and select zones. A green LED next to the zone name means the zone is ready to transmit. Press “Warning” button. A ashing red indicator next to green zone selection indicator means that the warning message is being sent. The warning

message will be played back in given zones in a continuous way, until the button “cancel alarm” is pressed.

Sending verbal messages via microphone

Activate alarm and select zones you wish to be received in. A green LED next to the zone name means the zone is ready to transmit.

Lift the microphone, press and hold “push to talk” button while speaking.. Speak slowly, loud and clearly.

Message priorities

Activate alarm and select zones. Press “Warning” button – warning message will be played back in given zones. Next, press

“Evacuation” button – warning message will stop, and evacuation message will replace it because has a higher priority.

Then, press “push to talk” button – all automatic messages will stop and you will be able to transmit a live message via

the reman microphone.

Transmitting automatic messages and microphone messages in various zones

Activate alarm and select one zone. Activate evacuation message or warning message playback in the given zone. Unselect this

zone (green indicator goes out, red one still emits a constant light or ashes). Select another zone. To send a verbal message, press and hold “Push to talk” button and speak to the microphone.

COMPACT VOI CE ALARM SYSTEM

SERVICE MANUAL

Transmitting verbal messages when the central processing unit is faulty – CPU OFF

Set the switch on the front panel in the CPU OFF position. The CPU OFF LED will light up with a steady green light. Press “push to talk” button and speak to the microphone.

NOTE! When the switch is in the CPU OFF position, playback of the alarm messages recorded in the AutroVoice miniVES

memory does not work. The processor is byp assed. A direc t connection between devices is created: microphone  ampliers

 loudspeakers. Microphone input is broadcasted to the entire system. Ampliers operate at maximum amplication –

be aware that this rises the SPL significantly.

9.1.2 Failure mode

A ashing yellow FAILURE LED means that one of VAS central unit elements or a loudsp eaker line is damaged. On AutroVoice miniVE S

devices and ABT-DFMS the system failure will be indicated by an acoustic signal. When the damage is signaled, press “conrm failure” button to mute the alarm sound, and the system will register that the failure was conrmed by the Operator (this event will be recorded in the event log). The failure LED goes out when the system failure is eliminated and “ cancelfailure” button is pressed.

20.

A system maintenance technician or technical service must be notied of any damage immediately.

9.1.3 Controlling backup power batteries

In the AutroVoice miniVES systems this process is fully automatic. It is realised by monitoring battery internal resistance.

9.2 Testing the system

Instructions for performing tests which will conrm proper eciency of the VAS central unit.

1. Get familiar with the VAS service manual.

2. Check if VAS system stops performing any functions unrelated to warning while switching into alarm mode.

3. Check if VAS system disconnects secondary sound systems (e.g. local audio systems of room tenants, connected to VAS as sources of background music, adverts, etc.) while switching into alarm mode.

4. Check if the system is capable of sending massages within max. 3 seconds after the re alarm system central unit sends a re alarm signal.

5. Check if the system is capable of sending voice massages to one or several areas at a time, in accordance with established alarm schedule.

6. Check if the VAS alarm message control algorithm by FACIE is carried out in accordance with the established re scenario for the building.

7. Check if transmitting various messages to sound system zones is properly indicated on reman microphone.

its author should be supplemented here, as well as a description which should include as many detailed data as possible, such as the place and date launched, specic features of the system, customized functions. The more detailed the project description the easier servicing and making changes in the system at a later date.

Language selection

The Language eld denes the current language of the software used to congure the AutroVoice miniVES system – Selector

Language. System Language denes the current language of all available GUI touch screens in the system.

System real-time clock setting

Setting the system valid time. The congurator downloads the UTC from the operating system on which the congurator

is installed. In order to load time together with conguration, accept the Sync UTC in upload window and select the appropriate time zone in which the system will be installed. It’s possible to turn daylight savings time on and o in this section. Choose Auto setting DST for the time to be advanced by 1 hour on the last Sunday of March at 1:00 universal time and retarded accordingly on the last Sunday of October. This applies to countries within the EU among others (UE 2000/84/EC directive). Inthis mode if the computer running the software is in a daylight savings zone the Selector software will act accordingly and display DST start and stop dates. It’s possible to manually override the transition dates by using the next option Manual setting DST along with use DST (without the latter daylight savings time will be disabled). Additionally time can be updated automatically by a PTP server connected either to the LAN port of the central unit or the LAN/WAN port.

Signature

Every project is assigned with a unique signature number. If the signatures between the project uploaded to the system and the one on the project in the computer software dier, the system will not allow returning to factory settings.

Congurator work mode

In Global Settings you can choose one of the congurator’s modes. The Advanced mode, unlike the Simple mode, is able to create speaker zone groups, logical input / output groups, timers and scenarios. Additionally, in the Advanced mode, inediting logical outputs, it is possible to set individual diode operation on zone microphones. TheEnableBlackBox option

– enables the reman microphone to record audio while the system is in the alarm mode. TheEnable Loop Control option –

12.3 System Conguration

Main Menu bar

File, Edit, System

Workspace

The System Conguration tab is one of the most important items in the AutroVoice miniVES system conguration software. The main window, called Workspace, represents system connections by means of vertical and horizontal lines. Placing

devices along a vertical line represents a copper wire connection within a single location. The horizontal space between the two lines in the center of the workspace represents a ber optic connection. Devices placed next to each other within this space ale connected by a ber optic link and are often separated by a greater distance. Additionaly, all of the connections upwards from the central ber connection part of the workspace are monitored – the system checks for device and link fault.

The system elements placed below the cenral eld (zone microphones) will not be monitored.

Components

In the top right part of the work eld there is the tab with all available elements of the AutroVoice miniVES system – theComponents tab. Upon starting a new system design, the rst component you should drag and drop to the workspace

(the congurator will suggest and highlight a proper eld) is the central unit. In order to nd it press the arrow next to

Control Units in the components tab and a list of available units will drop down, next simply use the drag & drop method.

The software suggests, with a grey rectangle, where a given element can be placed only if the cursor with the element

being drawn is located within the work eld. Repeat the procedure for Fireman Microphones and Zone Microphones tabs.

System

In the bottom right part of the work eld there is the tab System. This tab is used for detailed conguration of the devices and shows allocation of cards in individual control unit slots. Having added a control unit to the work eld, the name of the unit will appear in the system tab, as well as a triangle icon meaning a drop-down list. Right-clicking on the name displays the option Go to conguration. When the list drops down, a list of available slots will be displayed. Right-clicking on a slot displays additional option of Go to conguration (card detailed editing), Add Control/Function Card – adding a card to an empty slot or changing allocation of the card in the slot, Remove Card – removal of a card which was assigned to a slot before. In addition, detailed editing of elements from the work eld may be triggered by double-clicking of the left mouse button on each of the devices in the work eld. If the device contains more elements to be congured, as in the case of control units, then the rst double click of the left mouse button results in moving to the next level of editing where we can see all dened cards in a unit. A next double click on any available element means moving to the detailed parameter card of a given element.

A detailed description of the editing window for individual elements of the AutroVoice miniVES system is available in the following

tabs: DFMS, DMS, xCtrLine-4.

Auto-Save Interval

This option, when activated, results in having the current conguration saved into the conguration le at predened

intervals expressed in minutes.

Auto-Save History

In this section you declare the number of autosave congurations you wish to be stored in the software. It is closely linked to the autosave interval, if the interval is set to 1 minute and the value of the autosave readout is 10, then the congurator will allow to load the maximum of 10 minutes back. Of course, both the save interval and the number of les to read may assume a value from 1 to 99.

12.3.3 System

Verify Conguration

The congurator checks created conguration for it’s integrity. It classies veried elements into 3 groups – Errors, Warnings

and Info. If the software detects conguration errors, it will not allow it to be loaded into the system. By selecting Showdetails, we gain access into the details of the problems which have occurred.

Restore to factory defaults

This function completely erases conguration les, logs and audio les from all of the devices connected to the AutroVoice

miniVES system. All of the memory cards will be formatted and the devices will be assigned with IP addresses from the

192.18.x.x pool. The packets responsible for the factory settings commands are UDP and are received regardless of the set internal IP addresses in the system. If the System has executed the restore to factory defaults command, the project signature has also been changed, in order to update it in the congurator software you must download the system conguration. You can also select the recreate topology option, enter an empty conguration into the system and then restore the system to factory defaults.

System Connection / Upload (PC -> System)

This allows to send a conguration, created on a PC running the congurator software to the AutroVoice miniVES system

connected to that PC. Prior to sending the conguration to the system, the software veries the conguration le. Upload full

conguration – sends the entire conguration from the PC to the system, including audio les in the PCM format. Loading of

a full conguration must be executed for the rst time an empty system is being programmed, every successive conguration change which does not require changes in audio les may be loaded into the system via Upload conguration without

audio which makes programming of the system much faster.

System Connection / Download (System -> PC)

This allows to download the current full s ystem conguration or the conguration prior to the current one from s ystem into a PC.

System Connection / Recreate Topology

This function reads the system architecture. The system is able to identify cards located on a particular slot of the control

unit, it detects all zone and reman microphones connected and the method and place of connection of the units and microphones (optical bre, cat5). Caution: the only element which is not detected by the system recreating topology are microphone extensions.

System Connection / Change password

Allows to change the previously set password needed to upload the conguration to the system. The change is authorized

either by entering the previous password or by generating a token. The token is created by Autronica after received a ve digit code generated by the Control Unit GUI (applies only to units equipped with LCD screens).

System connection / Sync system UTC with local

This option synchronizes the system’s internal clock with the time on the computer running the congurator software.

System Connection / Blackbox

The Blackbox function records audio from all connected DFMS reman microphones while the alarm mode is active.

12.3.4 System Connection Settings

Connection Settings

This window allows the system to connect with a PC. If the DHCP server is congured correctly, then in the Connection Set tings

a server name identical to the one of the unit the PC is connected to should appear. In the case of connecting to a clean uncongured system, the server will be named NewSystem. Itmust be remembered that automatic IP address acquisition should be set on the network interface controller of the computer connected to the AutroVoice miniVES system. In case a DHCP server is missing, select from the settings the option of IP address automatic acquisition, the AutroVoice miniVES system will detect the lack of a DHCP server and, using the AutoIP protocol, will assign an address from the special address pool 169.254.x.x to the communications card of the control unit and the computer network interface controller connected to it. If a connected server does not appear in the window – see FAQ 1 Server not visible in the connection window. In the case of an external active DHCP server in the network (e.g. a switch) the IP addresses are assigned to both the PC and the AutroVoice miniVES system.

The Remote option – allows the congurator to connect to the AutroVoice MULTIVES / AutroVoice miniVES global server. Allunits worldwide with an internet connection and the owners consent to do so connect to the global server. Through

the AutroVoice MULTIVES / AutroVoice miniVES global server, the Autronica support team may upgrade the software, create congurations and detect system errors.

This window also displays progress while loading a new conguration into the system. Having loaded the conguration,

theConnection window will have a message displayed of conguration loading completion and two identical conguration

versions existing on the PC and the AutroVoice miniVES system.

System Connection options

Recreate Topology – this function reads the system architecture. The system is able to identify cards located in a particular

slot of the control unit, it detects all zone and reman microphones connected and the method and place of connection of the units and microphones (optical bre, cat5). Caution: the only element which is not detected by the system recreating topology are microphone extensions.

Upload options. PC -> System – this allows to send a conguration, created on a PC running the congurator software to the

AutroVoice miniVES system connected to that PC. Prior to sending the conguration to the system, the software veries the

conguration le. Upload full conguration – sends the entire conguration from the PC to the system, including audio les in the PCM format. Loading of a full conguration must be executed the rst time an empty system is being programmed, every successive conguration change which does not require changes in audio les may be loaded into the system via

Uploadconguration without audio which makes programming of the system much faster.

Download options. System -> PC – This allows to download the current full system conguration or the conguration

previous the current one from the central unit.

12.3.6 Central Unit Conguration

Device name

On-Line buton

The online mode oers the user the possibility to view the audio level meter in real time and to adjust the mic volume level. After uploading the conguration into the system you can enter the on-line mode by clicking the icon – it will then change

it’s color to green indicating active on-line mode.

Audio Inputs

The Audio Inputs eld contains all available audio inputs on the AutroVoice miniVES central unit. Item 1 is the built in micro-

phone used only in the Alarm mode – as the standard setting, the input at Item 1 always has the highest priority of 0 (see the Priority Manager tab – the built in microphone in alarm mode may have priorities assigned from the range 0-99). Item

2 is the same physical microphone as in Item No 1, however with a General type priority (200-299). The Item 2 microphone

is used to transmit ordinary messages in the AutroVoice miniVES system, e.g. Public Address. Double-clicking the name of the audio input enables to change the generic name assigned by the congurator. Item No 3 is the Line in input located on the charger module of the AutroVoice miniVES central unit. This input has a general type priority assigned by default, a double-click on the name eld enables to change the generic name.

Audio Inputs / Play after record

Activating the Play after record option allows recording up to 40s of a message being transmitted by the built in microphone

and playing it back immediately after releasing the PTT button.

Max time – sets the length of recorded message

Max delay – sets the longest time the system will wait for the intended transmission zone to be freed. After the set time the

message will be played back from the buer. If the operator chooses to transmit to more than one zone, the system will play the message in all the available / free zones after the set delay time has passed and erase the message from the buer.

Audio Inputs / DSP Congure

The Line in input has a 3 band parametric equalizer which can be freely congurable in two ways: by uploading the

conguration to the system with the center frequency, lter quality and gain settings or by changing the parameters of the lters in on-line mode.

Audio Outputs / Name

The AutroVoice miniVES has 3 independent audio outputs. Double-clicking the name of the audio output enables to change

the genericname assigned by the congurator.

Audio Outputs / Connection

This tab displays the internal connection of a given audio output. Unlike the AutroVoice MULTIVES system these connections

are predened in the AutroVoice miniVES. The rst one being wired to the internal speaker, the second one is connected to the internal 100 V bus through the amplier modules providing 100V signal to the line control cards and the third one is a line output located on the AutroVoice miniVES charger module. The line output is not monitored by the system. The unit treats the output line as a zone in the system (eg. signal to an independent PA system) to which it can transmit the message.

Audio Outputs / Pilot active

Selected Active Pilot option activates the control of the connection between audio output (DSP) and amplier module. Thepilot signal is also used by the line control cards to supervise the speaker lines.

Audio Outputs / Feedback Destroyer

Activating Feedback Destroyer means that in places where the speakers are located in close proximity to the system

microphone, the eect of acoustic feedback will be signicantly limited.

Audio Outputs / Signal Processing

The window allows to change parameters like delay, volume level, limiter threshold and EQ. Setting the parameters

is possible in two ways:

1. by changing the values in a particular window Volume / Delay and uploading the conguration to the system;

2. by changing the parameters in the Volume / Delay section in on-line mode.

Outputs 2 and 3 of the AutroVoice miniVES Central Unit have an 8 band parametric equalizer which can be freely congurable in two ways:

1. by changing the center frequency, lter quality and gain and uploading the conguration to the system;

2. by changing the parameters of the lters in on-line mode.

Paste to all function allows to copy EQ settings to all outputs available in the control unit. To do so select Copy to save the

settings of the lters and then select Paste to all to propagate all lters settings to all outputs.

Setting the level of threshold below 0dB activates the audio limiter. Signal level exceeding threshold is indicated by the red

color in the Limiter status. Green indicates that the output is below the threshold. In practice activation of audio limiter means that above a threshold, output signal is not increasing, regardless of what value the input signal reaches. TheLimiterallows to protect the system ampliers from clipping the signal peaks and sharp reduction in high-level transients without aec ting the essential content sound material.

Signal Level Meter is only active in on-line mode. The maximum level shown on the indicator corresponds to the

voltage of 1 V RMS output codec.

Logical Inputs / buttons

The Logical Inputs tab contains all available buttons as well as logical inputs on the AutroVoice miniVES central unit. Therst

four items in this section are buttons located on the front panel of the AutroVoice miniVES. The next seven inputs are located on the charger module. Lastly, there are two additional inputs located on the xNet_mini communications card in the xxxxN series devices. A double click on the name of a button / logical input enables to change the generic name assigned by the congurator.

Logical Inputs / Events

The Events buttons transfers the programmer directly to the EventConguration tab. This enables to assign any function or

event group to a selected button. A right-click on the name of a button / logical input in the EventConguration tab, as well as selection of Go to denition, enables to return quickly to the editing menu of the Central Unit.

Logical Inputs / Mode

The logical input editing window enables activation of the input monitoring function – Mode Contact / Monitor. In case the

Monitor option is selected, it is necessary to install two 4.7 k parametrizing resistors at the end of the line. In the window Default, we select the input status for inactivity for the NC option the system expects a closed circuit, opening the circuit

results in activation of the function assigned in EventCongifuration. For NO the situation is reverse: the system expects an open circuit on the input, closing results in activation of the assigned function.

Logical Output / Name

The Logical Outputs tab contains all available logical (relay) outputs on the AutroVoice miniVES central unit. A double click

on the name of a logical output enables to change the generic name assigned by the congurator. Assigning a function to a chosen relay is possible in the EventConguration – select an input event, assign a general function and click Add control

outputs action (the circle in a square icon ).

Logical Output / Settings

The relay type window informs about the physical type of the relay installed. NC – normally closed, in case of a power cut,

the relay will be closed, NO – normally open, in case of a power cut, the relay will open. The Mode window enables to reverse the relay logic, opposite to its behaviour in case of a power cut. The Inverse causes, e.g., that the relay NC / Inverse – in the original status it is a NO relay, and activation of the function to which it is assigned will change the status of the relay into the opposite one, i.e. NC. For NC / Normal in the original status (not triggered by any function) the relay is closed, activation of the function, as assigned to this output, causes that the relay status changes into the opposite one, i.e. open. The values from the windows Relay Type and Mode are also duplicated in the information window below Scenario State and in the

EventConguration tab the function General – Logical Outputs, also in the information window below State.

Memory size

In this eld, the capacity of the microSD card on the xNet_mini card is displayed after downloading the system topology.

It is not recommended to modify this value.

dened in the Lock Timeout window. The maximum microphone activation time is 60 seconds. The Start Gong option – this activates the gong having pressed the PTT button; End Gong will be activated after the PTT button is released.

Message window

This eld contains the names and properties of messages uploaded to the system.

Adding messages

By selecting the icon we add a sound le. The conguration software accepts formats audio MP3 and wav and converts them to the PCM 48kHz 16bit format which is used by the AutroVoice miniVES system. In addition, we can attribute an individual name to the added audio le (Message Name), which will enable its identication within the system. The Global option – means that a message will be saved on the memory cards of all available units in the system. The LocalCopy option – clicking Copy will result in saving the original audio le (prior to its conversion into PCM) in the Workspace folder.

Replace File – this is used to replace a selected audio le with another one. The icon deletes all messages held on the
