Digital firefighter microphone DCSF12 redundant

583503.RE 

Approval: Part of the EN 54-16 approval

In many installation codes it is necessary to have redundancy in critical signal routes like speaker cables (Loop or AB cabling), between fire panel and the PAVA system. In some installation codes this includes also the connection to the fire men paging microphone. For very good reason, because if the connection to the call station is lost, there is no way for any live announcement to people which are potential or actually in high danger.
Our paging station also supports redundant cable connection to two separate Comprio (not standalone Version of Comprio) or DOM's which means it’s possible to connect two cables (CAT5) to one paging station. The digital paging microphone DCSF12 serves for the selection of loudspeaker circuits and for setting off speech announcements as well as various gong or alarm sounds. It features 12 freely configurable keys, 13 LED and a handheld microphone. The paging microphone is connected with our DAL (Digital Audio Link) bus to a Comprio or DOM by means of a standard CAT5 cable. All audio signals and all control signals are transmitted digitally. The function of the digital paging microphone is permanently acoustically monitored.
Up to four DAL bus links can be connected to a DOM. Every digital call station in the system can simultaneously generate and receive different voice transmissions and control signals. A digital paging microphone can be offset up to 300 m by means of a CAT5 cable. Extension to a greater distance is possible with fiber optic (FO) cables - see respective FO converters which are needed additionally. Also a connection with FO cables can be done redundant. If more keys and/or LEDs are needed, it is possible to add up to six digital key modules (DKM18), which allows the increase of the total number of available keys and LEDs to 120 per call station.

  • High failure safety due to redundant transmission route
  • Hand-held microphone with built-in loudspeaker and acoustic microphone monitoring
  • Permanent monitoring of the line to the next interface module
  • 24-bit AD/DA converter
  • 12 freely configurable keys
  • Additional LED programmable in yellow or red
  • Can be used redundantly as well as non- redundantly
Additional information:

In order to protect from unintentional key press, a transparent key cap is available. Pressing of keys is only possible with open caps. Each cap will protect three horizontal keys.
