Clause / Requirement Compliance Signature
10.1 General requirements
Plena Voice Alarm System is compliant.
The VACIE may have provision for manually
activating the voice alarm output condition. If a
voice alarm output control facility is provided
the following shall apply:
a a manual control which causes a voice
alarm output condition to be given shall
only be accessible at access level 2;
The Plena Voice Alarm System can enter
the voice alarm output condition manually
via controls on the front panel of the
controller and remote control panels, via
input contacts, and the Open Interface, by
starting a call with a high enough priority.
b it shall be possible to activate each voice
alarm zone individually and/or in group(s)
of voice alarm zones;
A voice alarm priority call can be manually
activated in one or more individual zones
or zone groups. Zone selection is possible
via the front panels of the controller, router
and remote control panels. Or via the Open
Interface (e.g. using a PC Call Station for
graphical representation of zones with
mouse or touch screen selection).
Zones can also be added to and removed
from a running voice evacuation call using
the front panels of the controller, router
and remote control panels.
c the manual activation of a voice alarm zone
shall not prevent the mandatory indications
and outputs to other voice alarm zones.
Plena Voice Alarm System has one channel
for broadcasting. To ensure that a new
emergency call does not affect a running
call, the priorities of all calls have to be the
same. Message merging and alternate
broadcasting is supported responsibility of
the installer.
Plena Voice Alarm System will abort lower
priority emergency calls if a call with higher
priority is started.
Non emergency audio is always stopped
when entering the emergency state.

zones in an activated condition

The indication for the voice alarm condition in
the voice alarm zone(s) associated with each
manual control shall be available without any
manual action and shall not be suppressed.
This indication shall be by means of
a a separate light emitting indicator (the
General Voice Alarm Output activated
indicator), and
The voice alarm condition is indicated on
the Plena Voice Alarm System in general by
a red indicator inside the EMG button on
the controller, routers and remote control
panels.
