Depending on the model, the decentralised system includes the necessary routing for up to 6 individual lines or 3 A/B lines. It can be expanded to up to 36 lines (in 1-CH operation) or 18 lines (in 2-CH operation) per system, with 600 W/300 W and an additional active backup amplifier. With up to 255 closed control and display units in one global network.

Features:

  • Up to 255 network nodes per system with peer-to-peer system redundancy (ring technology)
  • Mains voltage and battery monitoring
  • Supports loop technology and EOL (end-of-line)
  • Amplifier and microphone monitoring
  • Text module & digital voice memory
  • 2 anti-parallel 12 kHz live audio streams: priority channel with second and/or backup channel
  • 6 monitored inputs for e.g. manual call points, fire alarm control panels
  • Max. distance between nodes: 250 m (standard Cat5 cable), 2000 m (fibre optic, optional)
  • Practically unlimited network loop length
  • Pre- and post-processing software modules (such as volume control, routing, mixing, switching and prioritisation)

Das Control-Center ist das Herzstück des VARES-2000 Systems. Es verwaltet alle Funktionen einer SAA, eingehende Informationen und Audiosignale. Entsprechend den Anforderungen steuert es die Netzwerk-Verstärker, die A/B-Kanäle und die überwachten Linienerweiterungen. Dies beinhaltet auch die Verwaltung von Audiostreams, die vom Netzwerk kommen.

Das VARES-2000 Control-Center verarbeitet die Eingänge entsprechend ihrer eigenen Signalprioritätstabelle und verteilt das Audiosignal über das digitale AMP-Link-Modul, das zwei priorisierte Streams über eine dynamische Zuweisungstechnik verwaltet, an maximal 16x Verstärker NDA-1000 A pro Control-Center.

Die ferngesteuerten, überwachten Linienerweiterungen (NLE-406A) arbeiteten direkt mit dem NCC-2000 A. Diese Einrichtungen leiten die Audiosignale von den A/B-Kanälen des Verstärkers in die erforderlichen Lautsprecherbereiche oder Zonen.

Zwei gleichzeitige Audiosignale werden über eine erweiterbare Schaltmatrix verwaltet. Dies kann von mindestens 6 Lautsprecherlinien bis zu einem Maximum von 1.440 Lautsprecherlinien reichen, die in maximal 255 virtuelle Rufzonen gruppiert werden können.

Der Controller besitzt überwachte GPI- und unüberwachte GPO-Schnittstellen, globale und lokale Netzwerkports. Die überwachte AMP-Verbindung kommuniziert über den VARES-2000 Datenbus mit den Verstärkern NDA-1000 A.

Das VARES-2000 System verwendet die selbe Konfigurationssoftware wie auch das VARES-1500 System, wodurch sich die Verknüpfung beider Systeme einfach und unkompliziert darstellt.

Merkmale:

  • Audio-Matrixfunktion mit DSP
  • Bis zu 255 Netzknoten pro System mit Peer-to-Peer-System-Redundant (Ringtechnologie)
  • Netzspannungs- und Batterieüberwachung
  • Unterstützt Loop-Technik und EOL (End-of-Line)
  • Verstärker- und Mikrofonüberwachung
  • Text-Modul & digitaler Sprachspeicher
  • Prioritätskanal mit zweitem und/oder Backup-Kanal
  • 16 überwachte oder unüberwachte Eingänge, frei konfigurierbar über Software

COST SAVINGS

Thanks to the decentralised system design, it is possible to provide one VARES-1500 unit per sub-area or fire compartment.

The cable network within the respective fire compartment does not require functional integrity design, as signal distribution no longer takes place across fire compartments.

Advantage 1: Cost savings by eliminating the need for a cable network with functional integrity
Advantage 2: Older and listed buildings with existing cable networks can be integrated into a modern alarm notification concept

TIME SAVINGS

In the case of partial renovations, the new VARES-1500 system allows only the affected sub-area to be modernised.
Areas not affected by the renovation do not need to be fully taken into account in terms of planning work, hardware and installation.

SAFETY

The VARES-1500 system offers comprehensive safety.
Even in the event of faults within the redundant network, the systems distributed throughout the building continue to operate independently thanks to the decentralised alarm notification concept, ensuring that area-specific alarm notification remains available.

VARES-1500: Your compact safety solution

The VARES-1500 combines easy operation, powerful technology and maximum safety in a compact housing, ensuring that your voice alarm system is ready for use at all times.
