EVX-4Z / EVX-2ZA
ZONE SPLITTER
The EVX-4Z / EVX-2ZA are modules intended for use with the EVAX 25/50. Their purpose is to enable the output of the
EVAX 25/50 to be split into multiple zones for paging and alarm selection. The modules accept input from the EVAX 25/50
speaker output and utilizing selectable output relays distribute the output to the individual zones. The modules may be
cascaded to increase the number of zones. The modules provide supervision of the individual zones for either open or
short conditions. Indicator LEDs display active or fault condition for the individual zones. Fault condition is reported to the
FACP through the same supervisory path as the EVAX 25/50. Zones may be selected manually by switches or through
pull-down inputs. In the event of an alarm condition, module defaults to an All-Call. All-Call feature may only be
overridden if accompanying panel has zone control features.
OPERATION
In normal standby the EVX-4Z / EVX-2ZA will supervise each speaker zone wire loop. The EVX-4Z / EVX-2ZA will provide
Style Y and Style Z supervision respectively. Upon an open or short condition the Yellow LED for that zone will light. A
N.C. relay contact will open to present a corresponding fault to the FACP providing supervision to the EVAX 25/50.
To manually select a zone, the corresponding switch is set in the Active position. It’s Red LED will light, and it’s output
relay activation will be enabled. On activation of the PTT signal from the EVAX 25/50, the output relay will connect the
zone to the EVAX 25/50 speaker output. While the zone is selected, supervision is suspended. DO NOT leave zones in
this condition unattended.
In alarm condition the EVX-4Z / EVX-2ZA defaults to an All-Call. On activation of the EVAX 25/50 V+ Alarm output, all
zones are automatically selected, enabling evac tone and message to play. Modules will have field selectable option for
alarm zone activation only if the FACP has the ability to provide separate pull-down inputs.
Each zone is limited to no more than 20W and total speaker load is not to exceed output rating of the EVAX 25/50. Upon
a short condition, a PTC on the zone will open excluding that zone from output and enable the other zones to continue
operating. Once short is removed, speaker line must be disconnected for 30 seconds to reset the PTC. Speaker output
may be 25/50 or 70 VRMS selected by a jumper position.
