2.4 INPUTS Y OUTPUTS
In this chapter are described the rear connectors of the NEO series equipment.
Depending on the model, the equipment will or will not include some of the types described in
this section and quantity may vary.
The monitoring interfaces for emergency power supply and general inputs/outputs for
activating the emergency, are available in all equipment of the NEO series. From the
configuration software it is possible to select which ones will be used.
2.4.1 EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY MONITORING
(a) MONITORING INPUTS FOR THE EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY
It allows the connection to the system of the statusoutput signals from the emergency back-up power supply.
It has three double contact closure inputs: main power
supply failure, battery failure, failure in any of the
emergency power outputs.
Each input has three terminals: Normally Closed
(NC), Common and Normally Open (NO). To activate any
of the fault signals, a contact closure input on NO should be produced, and simultaneously an
opening of a contact closure on NC input. In any other case, it will detect fault in the
connection.
The connection is made through a female 9 pin euroblock connector and 3.81 mm pitch
(supplied with the unit). The wire size range for each pole of this connector is: 0.14 1.5 mm2
(30 14 AWG).

the user's manual. E.g. The model SONAES requires to invert the NC and NO connections.

Picture 6: Inputs and Outputs
2.4.2 EMERGENCY ACTIVATION INTERFACE
The emergency activation interface is indicated to perform an interconnection with a fire
control and indication equipment (CIE). All input connections are supervised in order to detect
fault in the transmission line. This interface has three sections:
(a) GENERAL EMERGENCY MODE ACTIVATION INPUT
It allows activation and deactivation of the emergency mode of the entire system. It
consists of two supervised inputs for the connection of voltage-free contact closures: Reset
and Emergency. In order to have the link monitored, the contact closure connections to the
equipment shall be done by two 10k external electrical resistances (supplied with the unit),
placed at the output of the CIE as shown in the Picture 9.
When the emergency input (EMG) is on, the machine will automatically switch from PA
mode, to a state of emergency, and it will broadcast the voice evacuation message at all zones
of the system (default option). The default evacuation sequence can be configured through the
configuration software. When the reset input (RST) is enabled, the
system will exit the emergency mode and return to the normal state.
If an error occurs in the transmission line between the CIE and the
equipment, it will produce a fault indication in the front panel. (see
2.1.3). In systems in which these inputs are not used, connection
monitoring must be disabled in the configuration software.
NOTE: For avoiding an unwanted activation, the system does
not allow that the activation inputs perform the sequence EMG, RST, EMG instantly. The
second consecutive activation will leave a time lapse of 5 seconds.
The connection is via a 4-pin female euroblock connector of 3.81 mm pitch (supplied
with the unit). The wire size range for each pole of this connector is: 0.14 1.5 mm2 (30 14
AWG).

(b) SUPERVISED STATUS OUTPUTS
The equipment has two output signals, which indicate the
operating state of the system. The EMG signal indicates that the system is
operating in emergency mode. FLT signal indicates that the system is in
failure mode. They consist of two voltage-free contact closure outputs
normally open (NO).
The connection is via a 4-pin female euroblock connector and 3.81 mm
pitch (supplied with the unit). The wire size range for each pole of this
connector is: 0.14 1.5 mm2 (30 14 AWG).

(c) EMERGENCY-ZONE ACTIVATION INTPUT
It allows the configuration of eight sequences of evacuation defined by the user. By
default, each emergency activation input will activate the emergency in one zone. It has eight
supervised free voltage contact closure inputs. In order to have the link monitored, the contact
closure connections to the equipment shall be done by two 10k external electrical
resistances (supplied with the unit), placed at the output of the CIE as shown in Picture 9.
The manual activation has a higher priority over the
external activation inputs, hence the emergency state can be
stopped manually. The manual activation can not be stopped
from a remote input.
The connection is via two 8-pin female euroblock
connector of 3.81 mm pitch (supplied with the unit). The wire size
range for each pole of this connector is: 0.14 1.5 mm2 (30

a ) ATTENUATORS OVERRIDE OUTPUT
The equipment has 8 outputs for overriding attenuators in the
PA line. At rest state they have 0V voltage. At active state, each
output, has a voltage of 24V dc (*) and 40mA of maximum electrical
current. Each output has 2 poles.
The connection is via two 8-pin female euroblock connector of
3.81 mm pitch (supplied with the unit). The wire size range for each
pole of this connector is: 0.14 1.5 mm2 (30 14 AWG).

(b) END OF LINE INPUTS
The equipment has 8 dual inputs for connecting
end-of-line devices. Each input has 3 terminals, one
common and two terminals for lines A and B,
associated with the same amplifier channel (CH-x).
When the activation signal occurs at one of the inputs,
a loudspeaker line failure will be detected.

2.4.4 EXTERNAL SYSTEMS SLOT INTERFACE
The equipment has a slot where the ETX-1 module can be integrated. This module
allows connection to NEO-Extension units, the control, monitoring and configuration through
the data network, the reception of audio sources from the data network and the integration with
third-party systems. The ETX-1 module is delivered as part of the equipment.
(a) SYSTEM CONNECTION PORT X
The X port allows the connection of an external Ethernet network that can be used for
control, monitoring and configuration and the reception of audio over the data network. It is
possible to configure this port to be disabled during emergency mode, therefore enhancing the
security in the internal network.
(b) SYSTEM CONNECTION PORTS A AND B
The equipment has two ports for the connection with other systems and NEOExtension units. The behavior of this ports can be configured by a dip-switch as indicated in
section (e). The default mode will be position 01, where A will be the main Flexnet connection
and B the redundant Flexnet connection. In case of failure in port A, the system will
automatically switch to port B.

(c) USB PORT (reserved)
The USB port (mini USB type AB) integrated in the equipment
is reserved.
(d) INTEGRATION SERIAL PORT
The equipment has a two-wire RS-485 serial port.
The default configuration for events for integration with third
party systems is: 19200bps, 8 bits, even party bit, 1 stop bit.
The commands admitted in this port can trigger events in
the system that can be configured through the configuration
application.
NOTE: If configured for use of LDA VCC units, this port
could not be used for other devices.
The connection is made using a 3-pin female euroblock connector and pitch 3.81 mm
(supplied with the unit). The wire size range for each pole of this connector is: 0.14 1.5 mm2
(30 14 AWG). It is recommended to use twisted pair cabling for the connection of serial
signals.

*NOTE 1: in NEO 8060, port B will be normally inactive in modes 01,10 and 11 for avoiding
the storm effect in the Flexnet network ring. It will only operate when detecting a disconnection of a
NEO-Extension unit in the bus.
**NOTE 2: Flexnet mode will have Control Data in VLAN1 + Audio Data in VLAN2. For
more information about Flexnet, see chapter 4.3.
