500W VOICE EVACUATION AMPLIFIER EXTENSION UNIT
MC-VEA-500E
The MC-VEA-500E is a professional voice evacuation extension unit developed to extend the capacity of a central EN54-16 public address and voice alarm system. It operates as a six-zone evacuation router, receiving main audio, emergency control, monitoring and system commands from the master controller while providing local amplification and speaker-zone distribution.
The unit integrates speaker-line supervision, amplifier changeover, power amplifier management, fire-alarm interface functions and supervised control I/O within a robust rack-mounted chassis. It is suitable for larger buildings where additional monitored speaker zones are required while maintaining centralised evacuation control and system traceability.
Key Features
- EN54-16 system architecture Designed for certified public address and voice alarm installations requiring reliable evacuation control.
- Master-controller integration Receives main signal, emergency control and system commands from the master evacuation controller.
- Speaker-line supervision AB speaker-line monitoring helps detect field wiring or loudspeaker faults before service is affected.
- Expandable zone architecture Allows system expansion up to 120 zones by cascading extension routers with the master controller.
- 09 Supervised control I/O Provides supervised control inputs, control outputs, fault, reset and EVAC relay outputs.
- 11 Fire alarm interface Integrates fire alarm mode and emergency message zone output for coordinated evacuation control.
- Six-zone evacuation router Extends the system with six monitored 100V AB speaker zones fed from the master controller.
- Programmable voice messages Supports automatic EVAC and alert broadcasting with up to 256 pre-set message assignments.
- Backup amplifier management Supports amplifier changeover and backup power amplifier management for resilient system operation.
- Redundant CAT6 loop Supports redundant network cabling through CAT6 loop connection for improved communication reliability.
- Event and fault recording Automatically records system logs and fault events for maintenance review and traceability.
- Rack-mounted deployment Professional 3U rack form factor for integration into central PA and life-safety equipment cabinets.
