THE PMS2000 SYSTEM WAS DEVEL-

OPED WITH THE AIM OF CREATING BOTH CONVENTIONAL BROADCASTING SYSTEMS FEATURING FLEXIBILITY OF USE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDING TO THEM IN TIME, AND SOUND-BROADCASTING SYSTEMS WITH DIAGNOSTIC CONTROL INCLUDING A FUNCTION FOR SENDING EMERGENCY OR EVACUATION MESSAGES (VOICE EVACUATION SYSTEMS – VES), MEETING IEC 60849 STANDARDS. THE MODULAR NATURE OF THE SYSTEM ENABLES TAILOR-MADE CONFIGURATIONS TO BE CREATED, WITH REGARD BOTH TO DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS AND THE BUDGET AT DISPOSAL. IN DESIGNING A VES SYSTEM, IT IS NECESSARY TO COMPLY NOT ONLY WITH THE INDICATIONS PROVIDED BELOW BUT ALSO WITH IEC

60849 STANDARDS MENTIONED ABOVE.

GENERAL FEATURES

The modular PMS 2000 system uses two types of card-cage:

a signal card-cage, in which up to a maximum of 10

modules can be housed, and a power card-cage, capa-

ble of containing from two to four amplifiers, depending on

their output power. The PMS2002-B card-cage will contain

the modules (input/output modules, zones selectors, line out-

put, power supplies, tuners, etc.) that, thanks to the bus-type

configuration of the mother board, can be plugged in with-

out having to follow a specific order. This is because an

essential and innovative feature of the PMS2000 system is the

presence of 3 signal buses, of which one for managing PA P M S 2 0 0 2 - B signals with related zones addressing and two (A & B) for managing two signals other than PA or one stereo signal (fig. 1.1). This enables several independent systems to be set up within a single card-cage, in which they will in any case be connected to a single control and power-supply line. One example of application could be that of a theatre in which it would be possible, using a single system, to broadcast stereo music for the show and, at the same time, to make voice calls to the single dressing-rooms. In case of need or in an emergency, it would be possible to suspend the music to send general messages to all the rooms. The bus carries the power-supply lines, the audio signals, the serial communication line and the service signals (priority, enabling, etc.). The only exception to the random nature of the positions of the modules inside the rack concerns the PM2020-B and PM2020-V input modules, for which priority of the inputs on one card over those on another is defined by the position of the card in question within the card-cage. The signal card-cage is mounted on sliding guides that enable it to be pulled out from the rack. Once the card-cage has been pulled out, the card-cage can be rotated for ease of installation and maintenance of the modules. The modules are plugged into the card-cage with no need for any internal cabling. All the connectors used for the input and output connections, located on the rear, are of the professional type and particularly functional (XLR inputs with locking levers, removable screw-down terminal with bayonet couplings, etc). A PMS2000 system can include up to three PMS2002-B card-cages. Each card-cage can house up to 9 standard 38 mm wide

modules plus one PM2011-B power-supply module.

The PMS2001 power card-cage enables power amplifiers to be installed in a rack. Three models of amplifier are available, with outputs of 240 W (PMW240), 120 W (PMW 120) and 60 W (PMW60) respectively. A card-cage can contain up to four 60 W or 120 W amplifiers or two 240 W amplifiers, since the latter take up twice as much room in front. Various combinations are possible, such as two 120 W amplifiers plus one 240 W amplifier.

By combining the various functional modules and call stations at disposal, it is possible to “compose” systems for broadcasting music and announcements, the functional characteristics of which may include:

•Up to 16 audio inputs with adjustable sensitivity for each channel for a system with only one signal card-cage

•Up to 48 audio signals for a system with 3 signal card-cages

•Up to 32 or 36 output zones, with override control

•Up to 32 levels of priority among the inputs

•Several independent audio systems in the same rack

•Integration with outside units (matrix units, message generators, PABXs, etc.)

•230 VAC and/or 24 VDC power-supply

•12, 24 or 32-zone call stations with star connections

•Programmable digital call stations on RS485 serial lines.

Use of analogue call stations is advisable in systems in which the financial aspect prevails, while digital keypads are used in PA systems in which specific functions are required, such as control of the system directly from the call station (volume control, selection of radio stations, intercommunications between the call stations, etc.). When using digital microphone stands, it is essential to use the SWPMB1.0 configuration system.

Configuration of the PMS2000 system for safety systems meeting IEC 60849 (CEI 100-55) standards requires use for the signal part of the range of VES modules bearing the suffix –V instead of the corresponding modules with the suffix –B, and for power amplifiers of the PMW range a PM2092-V control card has to be added to each of them. Each loudspeaker line, also, must be terminated on a PM2094-V line-control card.

Very briefly, it can be said that a safety sound-broadcasting system meeting the above standards must have the following requisites:

•Control of the critical path, understood to mean the path of the audio signal starting from the capsule of the emergency microphone and/or from the message generator to the loudspeaker line, through the amplification chain: any failure along this path has to be signalled in a suitable manner.

•Possibility of operating in case of mains failure for at least 30 minutes at the maximum output and for 24 hours in standby conditions. A secondary source of 24 VDC power with a battery-charging unit must therefore be provided. This source must be sized so as to ensure independent operation as indicated above, depending on the absorption of the system. The maximum operating time in a stand-by condition may be limited to 6 hours when, in addition to the batteries, an emergency generator is also available.

•Storage of alarm events in a non-volatile memory, including recording of the date/hours/minutes/seconds.

In addition to the functional features of a “conventional” broad-casting system, the VES system will also have the control and alarm features summarised below:

•Digital control of the critical path, which includes:

-control of the emergency microphone capsule (M961-V) and of the control microphone (PMB130-V)

-control of the connection between the alarm control unit and the broadcasting system

-control of the warning-and-alarm message generator

-functional control of the VES modules

-functional control of the power amplifiers

-control of the loudspeaker lines (constant-voltage output lines)

•Simultaneous broadcasting of the EVACUATION and ALERT messages to different zones

•Logging of alarms (up to 100) in the non-volatile memory of the CPU

•Software-programmable I/O functions, for managing failures and alarms (PM2093-V/-VL modules with 8 inputs and 8 outputs)

•Control of programming and management of the whole system via a PC connected to the RS232 serial line.

•Control via console (PMB130-V) equipped with a display, buzzer, warning signal, mechanical key for manual intervention on the system, display of alarm status for each zone (evacuation and/or alert).

•Management of stand-by amplifiers (PM2095)

•POWER LOW function lowering consumption by the amplifiers in the stand-by condition.

•Break in background music in case of mains failure, in order to increase the operating time of the system.

Power-supply modules

The power-supply module takes care of supplying the power needed to operate all the components of the system (with the exception of the power amplifiers). It has electronic protection against short-circuits and overloads. On the front panel, in addition to the main ON/OFF switch, there are also three signalling lamps indicating the power-supply sources (AC/DC) and the power supply status (ON/OFF). A connector is provided for adding further PMS2002-B (up to a maximum of 3) card-cages to expand the connection, by means of the CV36 cable. The PM2011-V module is the version for use in VES systems according to IEC 60849 standards and has a microcontroller that checks all the power supplies, both mains and battery.

Dual input module

The PM2020-B module has two inputs to which audio sources of various types can be connected. The module can be set to take both microphone signals and high-level signals. Each channel has a disconnectable phantom power supply, a direct pre-amplified output, two-band tone control, an input for enabling of internal priority / chime / gate and a circuit for activating the external control channel. The output level and tone controls are on the front panel. The level of priority in respect of other input modules depends on the position of the module within the card-cage. Each of the two inputs can be equipped with a transformer with galvanic separation (TM80 or TM92) and an effective dynamics-limiting circuit (AC33), which considerably improves playing out of voice messages if there are strong variations in the level of the sound coming from the microphone.

Dual-input module for M961-V emergency microphone

The PM2020-V module is similar to the PM2020-B module, with the only difference that
input no. 1 is a dedicated input for connecting an M961-V emergency microphone in the
VOX mode with top priority over any signal.
The M961-V emergency microphone is controlled in accordance with IEC 60849 stan-
dards, and is an element of the critical path that is monitored continuously by the system’s
CPU (PM2021-V). This microphone should be installed, preferably, inside a special
soundproofed container in order to avoid generation of “improper” calls or false alarms.							M 9 6 1 - V

+ S W P M B 1 . 0 Programming Software

The PM2021-B module contains the CPU for managing a system for sound-broadcasting alone, together with the SWPMB1.0 software. The module administers and co-ordi- nates the activities of the PMB131 and PMB136 digital consoles connected to the two RS485 serial outputs, and is able to dialogue with a PC through a separate RS232 line.

Through a local serial line, it distributes the commands to the PM2042-B relay cards and to the PM2060-B tuner, if any. It is possible to connect up to 31+31 consoles to the two output lines.

	P M 2 0 2 1 - B ( - V )	The software SWPMB1.0 enables the following parameters to
		be programmed in the non-volatile memory:

•Microphone signal level

•Activation/de-activation of the Intercom function and output level of the monitoring loudspeaker (PMB136 only)

•Activation of the “treble boost” for stressing the treble frequencies

•Activation of the “low cut” filter if there are any horn-type loudspeaker units in the system

•Reading of the priority level of the call stations set locally

•Selection of the radio station (PMB136 only)

•Volume control of the radio station that is on the air

+ S W P M S 1 . 0 Programming software

The PM2021-V module contains the CPU for controlling a sound-broadcasting and evacuation system together with the SWPMS1.0. software The module administers and co-ordinates the activities of the PMB131 and PMB136 digital consoles and is able to manage the dialogue with the PC through a separate RS232 line. The commands sent to the PM2011-V, PM2020-V, PM2042-V, PM2045-V, PM2061-V, PM29093-V cards and to the PM2060-B tuner, if any, lead out from this module. The software takes care of managing addressing of the evacuation and alert signals, of the emergency microphone and of programming of the input and output contacts associated with alarm signals or messages. Up to 87 amplifiers (with PM2092-V cards) can be connected to the two RS485 serial outputs, while two more outputs are dedicated outputs for connecting up to a maximum of 31 call stations per system. A permanent or temporary link to a PC, through the RS232 serial line, will enable programming and the system status to be viewed, as well as the alarm logging. The alarms are stored in a non-volatile memory (up to 100 events with their dates and times). Up to 16 different configurations are possible. They can be called up by means of a single control. Permanent use of a PC is recommended in integrated safety systems for displaying the following:

•System configuration

•The number and status of the modules/amplifiers installed in the system

•The parameters referred to the loudspeaker lines

•The status reports of the broadcasting section: present zones - activated zones - enabled console

•Report of failure status: line impedance, amplifier status, end-of-line (EOL) control, critical path

•Fault logging (last 99 with date/hours/minutes), resettable with a password

•Remote-metering of the consoles

•Remote-metering of the amplifiers.

•Two-tone/three-tone (chime) warning signal

P M 2 0 4 0 - B

Output module

This includes the audio signal mixing and control circuits (level and tone) present on the various different buses: PA channel (mono bus), channel A & B (left and right channels). Among other things, it has an integrated warning signal generator, a LED-type level indicator and three-band tone control. The bus PA mixing output (mono) is electronically balanced, and it is also possible to use a repeater coil for providing galvanic isolation of the line. Each PM2040-B module can share the signals present on the mixing buses with any other output modules installed (thus obtaining several identical output lines but with separate level and tone controls), or it can isolate the buses in order to put together several independent systems inside a single card-cage.

•LED Vu-METER

(for PMB131 and PMB136 digital bases)

This module enables one or more amplification lines (gen-

erally speaking one music line and one announcement line)

to be sent to several listening zones (up to 6). It is necessary

to use the PMB131 or PMB136 digital microphone stations

to select the zones. The zones are selected by means of

dual-exchange relays, one of which is used for the “over-

ride” function (cancellation of the local attenuation levels of

the loudspeakers). When using a double amplification

channel (speech and music), it is possible to broadcast

announcements to certain zones without breaking off the

music being broadcast to the zones not affected by the call. A maximum load of 500 W can be connected to each zone. The great versatility of this card enables various different kinds of connection, with either single or double amplification lines. It is possible to connect up to a maximum of 4 amplifiers to the module (two for the music line and two for the announcement line). As compared with the PM2042-B module, the PM2044-B module also has 6 switches mounted on the front panel for sending background music to the zones.

Digital message generator module

The PM2061-V module is a controlled pre-recorded message

generator, for evacuation systems according to IEC 60849

standards. It enables two messages to be played out simulta-

neously (i.e. one EVACUATION message and one ALERT mes-

sage. It is possible to manage the recorder directly via the key-

pad or through the CPU 2021-V. The messages can either be

played out automatically (for example, by connecting the sys-

tem to a fire-fighting control unit) or manually via external

contacts. Recording of the messages, which is possible by

means of any dynamic microphone, does not require any

adjustments, thanks to a sophisticated automatic gain control

system which is able to offset even considerable variations in

the voice level. The messages are stored digitally in the Multi-

mediacard®, which enables a recording time of 4 minutes per

message.

Card for serial control of power amplifiers

The PM2092 card enables simple and rapid testing of the PMWxx power amplifiers.

It can be used in any system, even for sound-broadcasting only, to carry out the following functions:

•Measuring the impedance of the loudspeaker line

•Diagnosis of correct operation of the amplifier (gain, power supply, electronic protection and operating temperature)

•Checking insulation to earth (GND FAULT)

•Volume control of the amplifier by means of a remote potentiometer (max. 1 km)

•Add a second input that works either as selected or mixed (automatic attenuation of the secondary input) one

•Control of power relay

•Operation in “LOW POWER” energy-saving mode

•Possibility of switching a failed amplifier automatically to the stand-by unit by means of the PM2095 circuit.

In VES systems, it is essential to add the PM2092 card to the power amplifiers. In this case, the card will be controlled by means of a serial interface and it will therefore be possible to view all the control parameters and to change them via a PC. These parameters include:

-Reading of the reference impedance for the test

-Maximum and minimum values between which the test is valid

-Reading of test status

-Testing for the presence of the input signal

-Measurement of temperature of the power transistors

-Volume control

-Remote control of the relay.

It is also possible to monitor continuity of the loudspeakers lines using PM2094-V cards at the end of the line.

P M 2 0 9 5

Card for activating stand-by amplifiers

The card, which has to be installed on a DIN guide or using the special AC2095 accessory, receives from the PM2092-V module the command to activate one stand-by amplifier for each group of 4 amplifiers being monitored. The card can be connected to others in cascade formation by means of quick-fitting connectors so as to create other configurations: 1 out of 4, 1 out of 8, 2 out of 8 etc., in multiples of 4. This card has to be powered by a 24 VDC external power supply.

P M 2 0 9 4 - V

End of-line control card

The loudspeakers lines from PMW amplifiers with PM2092-V control cards can be kept under control using PM2094-V end- of-line cards.

The digital monitor identifies the exact point of the failure and its type (break or short circuit), even if the line is split up into several branches (up to 3), which makes laying the lines far simpler and less expensive.

P8036 • 6 zone voice/music switching unit

P 8 0 3 6

The panel enables a maximum of 6

zones to be selected by means of a

microphone base. The equipment can

be used both with the line signals

(before the amplifier) and with power

signals (output from the amplifier with

100 V line). The P8036 has provisions

for connecting two amplifiers (one for

music and one for speech) and it can

be configured to operate with a single

amplifier for both voice and music.

There are 4 inputs for auxiliary sound

sources with selectors and level controls, one input on a terminal strip for connecting several stations of the B500 and B600 ranges and an input with VOX priority for sound sources, such as a message generator or an alarm-tone generator. The music source that was selected, adjusted in amplitude, will be available at the MUSIC OUT output , while the voice signal from the base or from the VOX input (depending on priority) will be available on the SPEECH OUT. If there is only one amplifier, this input will also provide the music featuring the lowest priority.

SD200 • Multi-channel distribution system

The SD200 system enables simultaneous distribution of 6 different programmes over a single pair of wires. The ease of installation as compared with conventional systems makes it particularly suitable for sound-broadcasting to the single rooms of accommodation facilities such as hotels, nursing homes, tourist centres, residential centres, cruise ships, ferries and private homes. The heart of the system is the SDP220 receiver module, which can be installed in any room inside a normal flush-mounted box for wiring systems. The SDM200 modulator can provide a constant signal for a maximum of 80 SDP220 receivers. Continuous expansion, in multiples of 80 is possible, by including the SDB200 amplifier in the signal line. The SD200 system can also be used to manage up to 6 languages in fixed simultaneous translation systems. A cabled simultaneous translation system enables excellent listening quality, with no interference and a very high level of safety against unauthorised tapping.

S D P 2 2 0

S D M 2 0 0 Modulator

This system enables 6 signals from sources generated locally by CD or cassette players, tuners, etc. to be transmitted and mixed via a telephone pair. A pre-amplifier circuit adapts the amplitude of the signals of the sources for correct modulation of the respective carriers generated by a stage that functions according to the PLL technique, with quartzcontrolled reference frequency. The six modulated carriers are sent to an RF amplifier and then to the output sockets by means of an RF transformer that takes care of balancing and of the correct impedance value.

S D P 2 2 0 Receiver module

This module demodulates the signals distributed by the SDM200 modulator (or directly by cable radio systems). The receiver can be activated from a remote location, even if it is switched off, by means of a voltage of 12 VDC. This feature means that it is possible, if required, to force broadcasting of emergency messages to single listening zones. The module can be operated by means of a 12 VDC source or from the mains at 230 VAC by means of the SDT100 transformer contained in the SDA200-T loudspeaker module. The channels are selected cyclically by means of keys. The selected channel is shown on a display which has automatic brightness adjustment on the basis of the ambient light. Volume control is electronic. If the module is used in a conventional simultaneous translation system, it can be housed in the conference table or in the arm or backrests of the chairs. The messages can be listened to through headsets plugged into the sockets provided for them. For special installations, the modules can be supplied in customised versions with panels of various types.

S D A 2 0 0 Loudspeaker module

This module contains a 3 W - 8 Ohm loudspeaker. It can be connected to SDP220 receivers running on a 12 VDC power supply.

S D A 2 0 0 / S D A 2 0 0 - T	S D A 2 0 0 - T
	In addition to the 3 W - 8 Ohm loudspeaker, this also contains
	a transformer, SDT100, from the mains 230 VAC voltage for
	the receiver module.

S D B 2 0 0 Line amplifier

This must be used if the length of the line attenuates the signal excessively or, in any case, if the number of SDP220 receivers is greater than 80. Each SDB200 enables a further 80 receivers to be added. It is possible to expand the system to a practically unlimited number of receivers using the appropriate additional SDB200 amplifiers. For the 230 VAC mains power, it is necessary to add the SDT101 transformer.

	ITC2000-C • Interphone system for counters			I T C 2 0 0 0 - C
				The ITC2000-C is an interphone system
				for counters for the public. Microproces-
				sor-based management allows high-
				quality flexible performance. The system
				has more than one operating model. It
				can be configured as a handsfree
				“speak-listen” unit and, if connected to
		C 4 0 1 - B
				an amplifier, it can be incorporated
				profitably into a sound-broadcasting
				system. This latter application is
				extremely interesting, since in addition
				to carrying on a conversation over the
				counter, the operator can also make
				announcements to the public or calls to
	zones. These can also be made, with different levels of priority, via the microphones of other operators connected to the system
	(i.e. safety personnel, and so on). The ITC2000-C stands out from other “speak-listen” systems available on the market since it
	operates in the attenuation mode rather than by switching. This makes the conversation more natural, since the unpleasant breaks
	in the dialogue that are typical of switched systems are avoided. The operator station is equipped with a microphone on a flexi-
	ble stem, long enough to enable conversation in a natural tone of voice and volume, with no howl-round effects. The system must
	be equipped with PASO C401-B loudspeakers on the public side, for listening. These are made of aluminium, are extremely
	tough and suitable also for applications requiring protection against vandalism, (e.g. railway and underground, night chemists).
	In the back panel there are two standard 3,5 mm jack plugs for connecting headphones and/or external microphone.
	The ITC2000-C interphone system consists of the following:
	• Microphone base equipped with microphone with anti-hiss-	• Junction box (telephone type) with 6-pole (female) tele-
	ing protection	phone connector
	• External 230 V AC/18 V DC, 500mA power supply	• Wall-mounted electret microphone, equipped with shielded
	• Connecting cable between the interphone base and the	cable (length 3m). This microphone was designed for
	junction box (length 3 m), equipped with 6-pin (male) tele-	mounting on the glass pane above the counter, thanks to its
	phone connectors	vibration-proof double-adhesive strip.

Note: As an alternative to the C401-B, the models of the EGI range, items nos. G13U/16 or G28N/16 are also available.
