ATEIS – Public Address & Voice Alarm System| Airports

Objective

The application could go far beyond to large and complex projects such as railway station and international airport. In order to protect lives and property at airports, it is vital to quickly detect, locate, verify, and contain fires. Terminal halls pose special challenges, with due to the crowds and long distances to emergency escape routes. The IDA8 PA/VA system is a highly integrated public address and voice alarm system, specifically provides background music playing, multi zone voice announcement for boarding gates, phased evacuation with multilingual EVAC messages. The system’s open interface enables seamless integration with FIS (Flight Information system) and building management system.

Features

To help you exceed daily challenges whilst meeting demanding safety criteria, this includes the acoustics solution using the DNM2-ETH noise sensing microphone in noisy environments, high level of redundant handling such as network redundancy, processor redundancy (using RU-MAIN/PDC/CTL) etc. to fulfill 100% supervision of PA/VA equipments.

The TerraManager integrated GUI control software brings you the control over the building, an airport map can be configured as various programmable areas and provides the OCC (operation control center) an intuitive and user-friendly interface of control and monitoring on each area (boarding gates/restaurants/duty-free shops etc.).

Solutions

Volume levels in each zone can be set differently for BGM, emergency announcements and general paging.
BGM in food court, shops is optional and is possible to interrupt for announcements.
Priority management with paging calls.
Easy integration with TERRACOM IP-based paging, intercom and control system, TerraManager custom GUI control software and IP phone via SIP protocol.
Fully redundant network architecture – if one of network cables occurs unexpected disconnection, the redundant network will recover the communication to make system continually functional.
Integration with fire alarm/detection system to locate a fire and trigger immediate evacuation of alarm sequencing (phased evacuation), see the picture below.

By installing the VA-EOL at the end of speaker lines and SL-SENSOR2/SL-SENSOR4 on the zone board of main controller, the system can indicate whether speaker line is open or short circuit within 90 seconds (EN54-16 requirement).
VAT volume attenuators can be installed on monitored speaker lines without the need for a loopback cable.
Optional BCU-4830A/BCU-4875A battery chargers (48VDC) can connect to main controller for secured battery backup and power sharing.
EN 54-16, UL2572 and UL60065 certified approval pending.
