8.1 SCOPE
This chapter is valid as commissioning procedure for the General Alarm / Public Address System Compact MPA.
8.2 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to specify all tesng/measurement to be carried out during the commissioning. The purpose
of the commissioning is to verify that the equipment fulls all funconal requirements. The test objecve is to verify that
cables, terminals and mechanical workmanship of the delivered equipment complies with the specicaons and overall
industry standards for such equipment.
The tests will also show that the basic performance requirements (e.g. Signal Levels and funcons) are met.
These commissioning tests are targeted towards a IMO/SOLAS cered system and relies on the MPA 1600 to congured to
comply with those requirements. Please see the Prerequisites secon of the Operang Procedure for details on the necessary
conguraon opons.
8.3 BRIEF SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
8.3.1 GENERAL
The Public Address & Alarm system is designed, produced and delivered by Jotron. The delivery comprises centralized
equipment mounted in racks, as well as equipment for installaon throughout the vessel.
There are two main purposes for the PA system, one is to broadcast general announcements and the other is to distribute
alarm tones and guide personnel during possible emergency situaons.
8.3.2 CENTRAL EQUIPMENT
The PA & GA system can be a duplicated system each containing two equally equipped central wall cabinets. Each containing
the MPA 1600 Operaon Unit and the required number of ampliers and distribuon and terminaon modules. Outputs to
eld equipment are divided into separate A and B cable roung.
The system can also be used as a single system with a single cabinet if the redundancy is not required. Field outputs are then
only wired with a single cable roung.
8.3.3 ACCESS & CONTROL PANELS
Up to 24 control units of the types MPA 1601, 1603, 1643 can be connected to the system, divided over 6 user busses. Each
bus can be assigned a priority. Two Control Units (1601 or 1643) and two Alarm Panels (1603) are required to full the IMO/
SOLAS cercaons requirements. A combinaon panel (MPA 1605 or MPA 1606) can fulfull the role of one 1601 and one
1603 in a single device.
8.4 FUNCTIONAL TESTING OF UNITS

PA-LED: Green light indicates that there is a PA-message in the system. Otherwise the LED is dark.
AL-LED: Green light indicates that there is an Alarm in the system. Otherwise the LED is dark.
ZONE-LED’s: Green light in a LED indicates that there is acvity in the dened zone.
USER-LED’s: Green light in a LED indicates the acve user in a system. A red light indicates an error in one of the user panels
