System Definition ONYX DVC broadcasts simultaneous, unique messages throughout your entire facility or select designated areas ONYX DVC provides critical information or instruction in an emergency ONYX DVC ensures the right people have the right information at the right time during the following: Smoke Fire Intrusion Chemical spill Weather event

ONYX DVC System Digital vs. Analog Audio

Digital vs. Analog Audio What does “Digital” mean? Audio Messages are transmitted digitally over the Audio Riser Distortion resistant Unlimited distribution without signal degradation Multiplexed single circuit operation Multiple audio channels with output control

Digital vs. Analog Audio Analog Source Analog low-level audio output Analog Audio is vulnerable to distortion in: Recording Signal processing Line Loss External Noise induced on cables Amplifier and transformer non-linearity

Analog Voice Diagram Low-Level Audio Hi-Level Audio Message Control & supervision Speakers Message Generator Amplifiers Each link of analog voice introduces distortion

Digital Voice Diagram Digital Voice Command DAA Speakers In digital voice, digital signals are transmitted with negligible distortion. Digital signals are repeated perfectly at each node. Each amplifier starts with a perfect digital signal Exact match to the data stored in the message generator Digital Audio System Basic Building Blocks DVC Message Center DAA Digital Amplifier

Analog Voice System Riser AMG XP FFT Separate cable for each channel Separate voice generator for each channel

Digital Voice System Riser Audio Riser Segment Single pair of wires Speaker control 8 voice channels Firefighter telephones Twisted-pair wire 1000’ Typical 2000’ on recommended wire Single mode fiber optic pair 9/125um = 10km Multi-mode fiber optic pair 62.5/125um     1.8km 50/125um        600m           

ONYX DVC System Features

True Digital for Unparalleled Clarity From message storage to amplifier, everything is digital to eliminate distortion Up to 32 Digital Audio Amplifiers can be connected to a DVC center Each DAA is configurable as a primary or backup amplifier DAA is a powerful 50 Watts in either 25 Volt or 70 Volt versions with four outputs per amplifier.

Large Number of Audio Zones Larger applications can be accommodated with additional DVC centers Each networked DVC adds support for another 32 DAA series amplifiers Applications requiring hundreds of zones can be created by networking additional DVC centers over NOTI•FIRE•NET™

Network for Survivability and Scalability Multiple DVC centers can be networked together with seamless integration into NOTI•FIRE•NET NOTI•FIRE•NET with DVC provides: Added survivability and scalability Multiple command center support System expansion

Paging Over the Fire Alarm Network Every DVC has an interface with NOTI•FIRE•NET One channel audio over NOTI•FIRE•NET allows for network-wide live paging Allows one DVC center to page over the whole system when multiple DVC centers are networked.

Multiple Paging Options Preprogrammed multiple paging groups are standard with DVC New Group Paging Options Page Active EVAC areas Page Active ALERT areas Page Inactive areas All Call Option to page Inactive Areas to simply notify occupants of a potential emergency. Each group of occupants receives customized information

DVC Keypad for Simple Group Paging

Firefighter’s Telephone Up to five channels of simultaneous Firefighter's Telephone operation Crucial scene assessment information can be gathered more quickly for: Improved response efforts Increased safety of both building occupants and fire service personnel

Large Memory Capacity Memory capacity of up to 1000 audio sequences storage 16 minutes standard of stored audio messages expandable to 32 minutes Store customized audio sequences for any potential emergency/evacuation messages.

Customized Audio Messages Comes with a standard library of messages Message library speeds installation and simplifies maintenance Record, edit, and distribute your own custom messages or tones as standard .WAV format audio files No more locked-down libraries and no need to change memory chips

Custom Audio Messages Creation

Microphone Options Local paging microphone option and Remote Microphone (RM-1) option. Flexibility to page on site or from remote location to further enhance communications and life safety.

Backup Alarm Alarm Bus backup activation in the event of communication loss between (DAA) and DVC center. Two minute backup message storage Alarm Bus initiates backup Emergency Message
