In the future, safety PA systems are going to replace the classic siren alarm. The reason for this is that these days only few people react to siren alarms, and alarms, evacuation signals, alarm cancellations, etc. can no longer be differentiated. In contrast, using clear voice instructions a building can be very efficiently evacuated in the event of fire or an emergency. The larger a building, and the more people there are in this building, the more important it is to install a modern safety PA system. Our ITECNET Development team has considered these requirements from the very beginning. Complete system monitoring, surveillance of emergency microphones, amplifiers, speech memories, speaker lines, and of the energy supply. Thanks to the decentralised concept, ITECNET also allows for fully redundant systems at the highest safety level, and there is no single point of failure. A multitude of standards regulate planning, installation, operation and production of so-called safety PA systems. With ITECNET we did our part to meet the manufacturer requirements for EN 54-16 certification, and in many areas we even exceeded them.

The SPIDERLINE16 is an all-in-one voice alarm centre, and it also serves as a network component in large systems: Line multiplexer, 4 on 16 relay matrix, backup amplifier switch, text memory, line and speaker monitor. Using a SPIDERLINE16, 2 to 4 amplifier output stages and an energy supply conforming to standard, you have a system that meets DIN VDE 0833-4, or TRVB S158 requirements, with up to 8A/B lines with end-of-line modules.

For each SPIDERLINE16 you can connect amplifier output stages with up to 2000 watts total output and flexibly route them on 16 speaker lines. The speaker lines are permanently monitored for short circuits, grounding, impedance and interruptions, and any errors are reported within 100 seconds. The standard-compliant switch to redundant amplifiers is triggered immediately and automatically as soon as one of the monitored alarm output stages fails.

The SPIDERLINE16 has an integrated and monitored voice alarm text memory with a recording capacity of up to 3 hours. Alarm announcements are automatically controlled by the fire alarm system or can also be triggered manually.

Other features: Automatic volume control (AVC), DSP functionality for all outputs and inputs, compressor limiter, delay of up to 24.5 seconds (acoustically corresponds to 8 km delay time), TCP/IP interface, serial interface for control systems, status display elements to indicate the key system statuses on the front.

The ITEC-NET components are networked via our standardised and certified network switch in accordance with Ethernet standard IEEE802.3u. Up to 4000 devices can be linked in a LAN.

ITEC NETDESIGN is a Windows-based application for configuring and monitoring the entire ITECNET network. Included is a TCP/IP interface (ITECNET API) allowing a direct link to other control systems, such as media control or security management systems. In addition NETDESIGN offers the possibility to update the DSP- and control software from any point of the network. The huge number of monitoring and logging capabilities ensures a safe operation within this large audio and data distribution system.
