RADIOS FOR INDUSTRY

TYPICAL RISKS IN INDUSTRY

The risk of fire is one of the most common risks that endangers our lives and property. It represents the greatest threat especially when it occurs inside buildings where a multitude of flammable substances are combined with a complicated building layout. It is possible to limit this risk considerably by simply using evacuation sound systems.

Evacuation sound systems most often connect an electrical fire alarm system and an acoustic evacuation system. The stringent technical requirements for these systems are governed by national legislation and standards in most countries. However, customer demands have influenced these requirements more significantly than legal standards. Customers do not require a simple monovalent system that can only be used in an emergency, but want modern, versatile room sound solutions that can be adapted exactly to their specific needs, meet the requirements of the sound systems and can be easily interconnected with other systems that can be controlled by the customer or by other systems. Thanks to these advantages, customers see a significant reduction in their investment costs.

The sound solutions for indoor and outdoor areas in the industrial sector offered by A2S are based on a high-quality modular sound, alarm and evacuation system called Amadeo. Over the years, this system has been successfully used in many industrial companies and institutions, both in Slovakia and abroad.

SOUND SYSTEM IN A SINGLE BUILDING

This solution is suitable for premises where a sound distribution system can be satisfied using a single central unit. The spaces are divided into independent sections, in which the sound signal is broadcast selectively. Control stations, usually in the form of an OCP16 control station, are connected to the central unit to allow the input of audio signals from other sources, the activation of broadcasts and signals stored in digital memory, as well as the administration of other connected devices.

The Vektra software can also be connected to the Vektra electronic central unit, which extends the possibilities and functionalities of the system by adding a computer. Typically, 100V loudspeakers are sufficient for soundproofing interiors, but Amadeo technologies also allow extremely noisy interiors or large outdoor areas to be soundproofed with more powerful pressure loudspeakers.

SOUND SYSTEM IN A BUILDING GROUP

The solution is based on Amadeo product technologies and requires efficient sound distribution from the central electronic unit to a number of buildings. Therefore, the system is designed as a multi-level system, with a local electronic unit in each building. 100V loudspeakers are connected to the central units in each building, and can be distributed by floor and room. More remote areas, such as an outdoor area of a building complex, can be sounded using high-performance pressure loudspeakers or small, versatile Screamer or Bono sirens. Pavian high-performance electronic sirens can also be connected to the system.

The local electronic units can be administered and controlled from the Amadeo central electronic unit, and can be connected by wire using the existing IT infrastructure and TCP/IP protocol, or wirelessly by radio.

The system performance can be optimized by integrating various elements such as sensors, harmful substance detectors, beacons, strobe lights, cameras, etc. Using the Vektra® software in conjunction with the Amadeo system, multiple supervisory data acquisition (SCADA) systems such as gates, barriers, ventilation technologies and various electromechanical controllers can be controlled. The system can be expanded with additional functions such as population alerts, crowd management and surveillance.

SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION

FROM THE MAIN BUILDING

  • Using OCP16 Operator Control Panels or LCU15 Local Controls
  • Using a central computer equipped with Vektra software
  • Use of any computer present in the building (equipped with Vektra software), provided that it is connected to the Amadeo control panel via Ethernet (TCP/IP)

OUTSIDE THE BUILDINGS

  • from a mobile phone
  • from a landline
  • by internet
  • from a radio station

FROM ANY OTHER BUILDING

  • Use of OCP16 operator control panels or LCU15 local controls connected to the local control panel,
  • Use of any computer present in the building equipped with Vektra® software) which is connected to the nearest Amadeo local control panel via Ethernet (TCP/IP)

possibility to connect a central unit as a standard network device, thus allowing it to be shared while respecting access rights across the building's IT network. This allows the use of the IT infrastructure already present in the building.

REASONS TO CHOOSE THIS SOLUTION

  • Allows to adequately respond to needs, without adding unnecessary elements that could increase investment costs.
  • The system allows the transmission of live voice messages using a microphone, automatic broadcasting of pre-recorded announcements stored on the internal memory, broadcasting of radio broadcasts from a built-in FM receiver, playback of files from a USB stick or an external signal source, as well as, with add-ons, playback of live broadcasts from a mobile phone.
  • The system is equipped with backup batteries to ensure its power supply in the event of a power failure. Thus, it can continue to operate even in the absence of electricity.
  • For a sound system that can be easily connected to modern electronic sirens of the national warning system or to sirens that are part of autonomous local systems.
  • Possibility to connect a central unit as a standard network device, thus allowing it to be shared while respecting access rights across the building's IT network. This allows the use of the IT infrastructure already present in the building.
