1. Cabinetry

2. Cabinet
The cabinet assembly is made up of a backbox and a door assembly.
Four sizes of fire alarm cabinets are available:
A, B, C and D.
The letters correspond to the number of rows available inside the cabinet. (There is a dedicated area at the bottom of the cabinet for the optional power supply and batteries.)
Many peripheral components of a ONYX fire system have their own cabinet enclosures.

Audio Configurations
In a Digital Voice Command system, either a NFS CPU or a NCA-2 may be housed above the voice controller.
Loop Control Modules may be installed underneath the CPU or in a dedicated row within the cabinet.
The Power Supply and batteries are mounted in the standard position inside the cabinet or battery enclosure.

16. Four LCM-LEM assemblies mounted in the CHS-4 Chassis
The CHS-4 Chassis is used to mount a variety of devices. It covers one row in the cabinet and provides four positions for loop and/or network cards.

17. Chassis, Dress Panels & Plates
The CHS-4 is a versatile chassis that can be used to mount a variety of modules – loop cards, network cards, relay cards, etc.
You have the ability to mount cards on top of cards inside the cabinet. The disadvantage to this approach is access to the modules becomes more difficult as they are stacked.
The ADP-4B Dress Panel provides for the mounting of annunciators over the top of other modules mounted insider the cabinet.

23. Digital Voice Command
The Digital Voice Command is Honeywell’s voice evacuation solution. This system is most often comprised of the following components:
CPU or Network Control Annunciator
Loop Control Modules
Digital Voice Controller
Microphone
Telephone Handset
Mic/Phone wells
Special chassis
Digital Amplifiers
Power Supply
Batteries
B, C or D-size Cabinet
Special Cabinet Doors
Network Control Modules
NCM required for network systems

24. Digital Voice Controller
The center of the Digital Voice Command system is the controller assembly. The assembly (shown below) has a keypad, motherboard and an optional ANALOG audio output board which generates the low-level analog audio signals for existing or new analog systems.
Eight channels of digital audio
5 FFT channels
32 addressable Digital Amplifiers

25. Analog Output Option
The DVC-AO Analog Output board provides the DVC with the capability to drive up to four analog amplifiers for four Channel audio.
The unit mounts on top of the DVC main board, underneath the KD interface.

26. Digital Audio Amplifiers
The DVC system can employ two versions of audio amplifiers – the -DAA-5025 (50 Watt, 25 Volt) and the -DAA-5070 (50 Watt, 70 Volt).
These amplifiers are self-contained assemblies that consume one row in the cabinet. The assemblies contain a chassis, power supply, battery charger, battery rack, and on-board speaker circuits (4 Class B or two Class A).
32 Amplifiers max
New for System 4.0 are the DAA2, DAX and BDA(Backup Digital Amplifier) amplifiers.
The DS-FM module allows for wire to fiber transitions on the new System 4.0 amplifiers.

27. Distributed Amplification
Distributing the amplifiers throughout the protected premises minimizes high-level signal loss and increase the survivability of the overall system.
Backup amplifiers are on a ONE-to-MANY basis. Note: when using a DAA2 with BDA as a backup that configuration is One to One.
Distributing the amplifiers throughout the protected premises minimizes high-level signal loss and increase the survivability of the overall system.
Amplifiers can be installed in successive rows within the cabinet provided background music is not employed.

28. Chassis, Dress Panels & Plates
Often one of the most overlooked components of a fire alarm system is the mounting hardware and dress plates necessary to complete the system.
Chassis are used to mount components inside the cabinet.
Dress plates cover module positions or rows within the cabinet.
Trim Rings cover gaps in the wall around the control panel or remotely-mounted devices, such as amplifiers.
Mounting well for microphone and telephone.
Half-Chassis for NFS CPU.
The tricky part is sometimes there are optional mounting solutions for the same component depending upon where in the cabinet it is to be installed or what other equipment will be located inside the cabinet. Most of the hardware has multiple uses as well. If we had a Price List with pictures and rules for use, however unfeasible that may be, it might not be too difficult to determine your hardware requirements. But that’s not the case. You just got to learn all this stuff.
