DS0271

Features

  • Distributed connection system topology
  • High security, each sector supports local PAGA access/operation
  • Simple expansion no impact on existing installation
  • Eliminates possible common mode failure in event of catastrophic breakdown of master or inter connecting cables

Description

The BARTEC VODEC TQ/VX and TQ-88 system allows the distribution of amplification to remote areas of a petrochemical/industrial site thereby enabling localised drive and management of loudspeaker networks. A conventional PAGA (Public Address and General Alarm system) broadcast system comprises of central equipment racks with associated loudspeaker circuits radially/loop wired from the central cabinet.

This arrangement works well where loudspeaker networks are located in the immediate vicinity of the central equipment rack however where PAGA broadcast coverage is required to distant/remote site(s) then:
  • The reduction in broadcast sound pressure level due to copper losses in the interonnecting loudspeaker cable becomes prohibitive.
  • The cost of multi core loudspeaker cable networks increase installation price dramatically.
  • he attenuation of network supervisory/test signals due to cable capacitance becomes too high to enable reliable system monitoring. In many cases cable capacitance also degrades speech intelligibility.
The solution to achieving efficient, quality and cost effective PAGA broadcast capability to distant loudspeaker networks is to remote the associated amplification to the vicinity of the target loudspeaker.
