PREMIER EVACS 1-16 INSTRUCTION MANUAL: 2-ZONE NETWORKED VOICE ALARM PANEL
Summary
The Premier EVACS 1-16 Voice evacuation control panel has been designed and developed as a standalone system
that will compliment any Zeta Fire Detection System.
The control panel is a modular design, allowing up to 16 channels, units, to be networked via RS485.
Each unit has 30 watts output divided to 2 sub-channels. Also 2x24v outputs are provided to drive alarm systems
where needed.
The Premier EVACS 1-16 configuration software lets you easily customise and program the panels features including:
volume control, trigger matrix, microphone configuration, as well as downloading of bespoke alert and evacuate
messages of up to a minute long each.
The pre-recorded message can be initiated via the built-in keypad, via the remote trigger inputs or via the loop
interface. The remote trigger inputs and the loop interface allow the EVACS 1-16 messages to be triggered by the
outputs of a fire alarm control panel / Control & Indicating Equipment (CIE).
It has an emergency (or fireman’s) microphone which can be used to broadcast live messages; each panel can be
individually configured to broadcast microphone messages either locally or system-wide.

Safety information & use of this manual
WARNING: Read this section completely before operating this equipment.
Installation information
THIS VOICE ALARM CONTROL & INDICATING EQUIPMENT (VACIE) IS CLASS-1 EQUIPMENT AND MUST BE EARTHED.
This equipment must be installed and maintained by a qualified and technically experienced person.
This VACIE must be wired to a fused spur rated at 5A. It must NOT be connected via a removable plug, or be
connected through an RCD device.
Prior to commencing installation of the control panel, ensure that adequate precautions are taken to prevent damage to the
sensitive electronic components on the display board and the control board due to electrostatic discharge. If anti-static
equipment (such as an anti-static wrist strap) is not available, you should discharge any static electricity you may have
accumulated by touching a convenient earthed object such as an unpainted copper radiator pipe. You should repeat the process
at regular intervals during the installation process, especially if you are required to walk over carpets.
The panel must be located in a clean, dry position, which is not subject to excessive shock or vibration and at least 2
metres away from pager systems or any other radio transmitting equipment.
The only items which are designed to be removed from the enclosure are the cable connectors. Ensure that all
electrical power is removed from the equipment before removing, inserting or connecting cables to these
connectors.

Battery information
This VACIE uses 2 x 12V Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries with a capacity in the range of 7.2Ah to 17Ah.
CAUTION:
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO
BATTERY MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON BATTERIES:
DANGER: Batteries are electrically live at all times. NEVER short circuit the battery terminals.
WARNING: Batteries are often heavy. Take great care when lifting and transporting batteries.
DANGER: Do NOT attempt to remove the battery lid or tamper with the internal workings of the battery. Electrolyte
is a highly corrosive substance, and presents significant danger to yourself and to anything else it touches. In case of
accidental skin or eye contact, flush the affected area with plenty of clean, fresh water and seek immediate medical
attention. Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries are “low maintenance”, requiring no electrolyte top-up or
measurement of specific gravity.
Product disposal at the end of its working life
Like all electronic equipment, at the end of its working life this unit should not be disposed of in a
refuse bin. It should be taken to a local reprocessing site as per the guidelines of the WEEE directive,
for correct disposal.

PREMIER EVACS 1-16 INSTRUCTION MANUAL: 2-ZONE NETWORKED VOICE ALARM PANEL
Locating the Voice Alarm panel
The control panel should be installed in accordance with the following recommendations:-
• The panel should be close to the main entrance of the building, so that it can be viewed by any fire-fighting
personnel entering the building.
• It should be fitted to a sturdy wall that will not flex unnecessarily.
• It should be mounted at eye level, in order for it to be viewed without need of a ladder.
• It should be installed in a dry, weatherproof place, away from direct sunlight.
• It should be easily accessible, so that the responsible person can perform their regular fire alarm checks.
Fixing the back box to the wall
Plan view of enclosure. Side view for surface installation.
Fix the enclosure to the wall using the four mounting holes provided.
Check the build & condition of the wall to decide a suitable screw fixing.
The mounting holes are designed for No 8 roundhead or countersunk woodscrews (or similar).
Remove any debris from the enclosure.

PREMIER EVACS 1-16 INSTRUCTION MANUAL: 2-ZONE NETWORKED VOICE ALARM PANEL
Recommended cable types and their limitations
All wiring must be installed to meet BS5839: Pt1: 2002 + A2:2008 and BS 7671:2008 (IEE Wiring Regulations)
standards. Other National standards of fire alarm system installation should be adhered to where applicable.
Screened cables should be used throughout the installation to help shield the Panel from outside interference and
ensure EMC compatibility.
The two categories of cable according to BS5839: Pt1: 2002 + A2:2008, Clause 26 “Fire Detection and Alarm Systems
for Buildings (Code of Practice for System Design, Installation and Servicing)” are:
Standard fire resisting cable – to PH30 classification of EN 50200 (including the 30 min survival time of Annex E)
Enhanced fire resisting cable – to PH120 classification of EN 50200 (including the 120 min survival time of BS 8434-2)
(Note that all cables should be at least 1mm2 cross section
On the Premier EVACS 1-16 Panel the general recommendation would be to use standard fire resistant cable, such as
GLT Exports Fire Defence Cable, Firetuff , FP200 or an equivalent. These cables are screened, and will provide good
EMC shielding when properly grounded at the panel. Certain system specifications may demand the use of a
particular type of cable and due regard should be paid to this fact.
Depending on the environment, the cables may need mechanical protection (such as a conduit).
Mains wiring recommendations
The Mains supply to the VACIE is fixed wiring, using Fire resisting 3-core cable (Between 1 mm² and 2.5mm²), fed
from an isolating double pole switch fused spur, and fused at 5A. IT SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED THROUGH AN
RCD. This should be secure from unauthorised operation and be marked ‘FIRE ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF’. The
supply must be exclusive to the Fire Panel. MAKE SURE ANY SPARE ENTRY HOLES ARE COVERED WITH THE
GROMMETS PROVIDED

PREMIER EVACS 1-16 INSTRUCTION MANUAL: 2-ZONE NETWORKED VOICE ALARM PANEL
Mounting the voice evacuation panel
The Premier EVACS 1-16 comes with many cable entry holes. If another entry hole is required, it is strongly
recommended that the panel door is removed to avoid accidental damage. Also the PCB assemblies should be
removed and stored in a safe place. This would also help while fixing the back box to the wall.
Planning cable entry
The figure below shows the location of the cable entries to facilitate planning of wiring to be brought to the panel.
If a cable-entry push-out is removed, fill the hole with a brass cable gland. If any knockout is removed, but
subsequently not used, it should be covered up using a 20mm blanking grommet.
The 230V AC Mains cable must be fed into the enclosure via one
of the cable entries at the top right corner of the back box. This
cable must be connected to the mains terminals of the power
supply, which are marked L, N, (Live, Neutral, Earth)
Take care not to damage the VACIE during installation.

Configuring the Voice Messages, and Trigger Inputs
The EVACS 1-16 panel can be configured using the EVACS software. To configure the software the panel must be
powered on and plugged into the PC running the software using a suitable USB connector.
For the EVACS 1-16 the drop-down list box in the centre of the dialogue should be set to EVACS 1-16.
For networked EVACS 1-16 panels, most settings are only available to the panel configured as master.
On the Premier EVACS 1-16, alert and evacuation messages can be uploaded from a PC running the configuration
software. The messages cannot be recorded direct to the panel due to the microphones limited dynamic range,
which would result in poor quality pre-recorded messages.
Any suitable Audio file can be uploaded. The file format is *.wav format, 16-bit, 1 channel (mono), uncompressed
16,000 samples/sec (256kbps) with a maximum length of 55 seconds
A custom message can be recorded on a PC or in a sound studio if the best sound clarity is required. Alternatively,
you can use one of the sample messages provided with the PC Configuration Software.

Methods of Operating the Premier EVACS 1-16
The Premier EVACS 1-16 can operate in any one of the following ways:-
1. LIVE BROADCAST
The microphone is used to broadcast information about the alarm, and the responsible person would direct
occupants what to do next. The Microphone broadcasts to all non-disabled channels.
2. PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE (MANUAL)
The Operator can select to play the pre recorded Evacuation or alert message to individual zones. The message(s)
are only played to the selected zones.
3. PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE (AUTOMATIC)
Some or all of the Premier EVACS 1-16`s remote trigger inputs will be connected to I/O units in a fire panel. The
panel will operate the I/O relays to link the relevant trigger to 0V. There are inputs for Evac on all zones, Alert on all
zones, and an individual input for each zone, which can be configured via the PC Software. Sample configurations
are:-
Play evac / alarm on selected zone
Play evac / alarm on selected zone, and alert on all other zones
As shown above, the number of zones operated will depend on the configuration of the remote inputs.
Play evac / alarm on selected zone, and alert on floor above & floor below
Resetting from a Voice Alarm Condition
The EVACS 1-16 can be reset in various ways, depending on how the Voice alarm condition was initiated.
If the microphone is used for a live broadcast, simply releasing the microphone will return the EVACS 1-16 to its
normal condition.
If a pre-recorded message was started manually, it will need to be reset from the Voice Alarm Panel. Press Start/Stop
to stop playing the message, then press reset to return the EVACS 1-16 to its normal condition.
If a pre-recorded message was started automatically by a fire alarm panel, resetting the fire alarm panel will reset
the Voice alarm panel automatically. Alternatively, the message can be stopped by pressing Stop/Start on the Voice
alarm Panel. (Note if reset is then pressed, and the triggering signal is still active, the EVACS 1-16 will return to the
voice alarm condition.

Fault display & fault-finding
The Premier EVACS 1-16 panel monitor for the following faults:-
Power Supply Fault
Speaker Channel open-circuit wiring fault
Speaker Channel short-circuit wiring fault
Earth Fault
Amplifier Fault
System Fault
The Premier EVACS 1-16 Voice Alarm panel also has a General Fault LED that will light when any fault is present.
Most of these faults will need to be checked by an engineer.
All faults in the Premier EVACS 1-16 are NON-LATCHING. IE they cannot be reset with the reset button. They will
clear automatically when the fault has been fixed.
Fault Finding
Power Supply fault
A power supply fault is indicative of one or more of the following faults: -
Loss of Mains power
Check that 230V AC is present at the mains terminal block
Check mains fuse
Check charger fuse FS1.
Loss of Battery power
Check that 2 X 12V batteries are fitted in series to give 24V backup
Check battery fuse
Check that battery connections are secure.
Check that the batteries are not over 5 years old
Loss of Charger
The Power supply will monitor the charger circuit. In the rare event of a component failure that affects the charger,
the PSU will bring up a fault.
Loss of Battery Capacity
The Power supply will monitor the Battery condition. If it detects a high internal resistance, which usually means a
loss of capacity in the battery, it will bring up a fault.

PREMIER EVACS 1-16 INSTRUCTION MANUAL: 2-ZONE NETWORKED VOICE ALARM PANEL
Speaker Circuit Fault
A Speaker Circuit Fault is indicative of one or more of the following faults:-
Speaker Circuit Open Circuit fault.
Check that there are no breaks in the cable, and that all screw connections are secure.
As a panel check, disconnect the circuit indicating the fault, and press the calibrate button. If the fault clears, the
panel is working correctly.
Speaker Circuit Short Circuit Fault
Check that all speakers are fitted the correct way round.
Check than no other devices have been connected to the speaker circuit.
Check for shorts to the cable screen.
As a panel check, disconnect the circuit indicating the fault, and press the calibrate button. If the fault clears, the
panel is working correctly.
Speaker Failure
Because the Premier EVACS 1-16 monitors the speaker circuits for a change in impedance, the system can usually
detect a broken speaker. For example a broken wire to the drive cone will not affect the speaker line`s continuity,
but it will affect its impedance.
Presently, the only way to check for this is by verifying sound output at each speaker on the speaker circuit reporting
the fault.
Earth Fault
The Premier EVACS 1-16 monitors it`s cabling for short circuits to earth. In the event of an earth fault, disconnect the
speaker circuits one at a time to locate the one giving a problem.
Amp Fault
The Premier EVACS 1-16 monitors Amplifiers for correct operation. If one of its power amplifiers reports a fault, the
EVACS 1-16 will report it. Try resetting the panel to clear the fault. If the fault persists, contact your dealer.
System Fault
The Premier EVACS 1-16 monitors its internal software for correct operation. If it detects a possible problem, the
EVACS 1-16 will report it. Try resetting the panel to clear the fault. If the fault persists, contact your dealer.

Battery calculation
As a general rule the battery selected as a backup power source for the panel should be calculated to provide at
least 24 hours of standby power, plus 30 minutes power in the alarm condition plus a 25% reserve to account for
battery life degradation, environmental factors or unexpected power drains.
When calculating the backup power requirements for the audio system it is important to note that the relationship
between output power, volume and power drain is non-linear, and may differ depending on the message store used.

Audio Power
The following graphs demonstrate typical performance characteristics for the Evacs 1-16.
The test panel was configured in standalone mode and audio output was set as a 1 KHz sine wave with each speaker
output played into a 575Ω impedance load (1230Ω resistive, 110nF capacitive).
Test measurements are intended as a guide only as actual power throughput will differ depending on the audio
played, and may push the system beyond its recommended operating parameters.
Volume controls
Please note that maximum output of the unit is indicative only and that setting the unit beyond the maximum
recommended ratings may degrade audio performance. Actual output power will vary depending on the speaker
system installed.
