BOSCH Praesideo Voice Evacuation System

Product Details:

There are four types of power amplifier units in the Praesideo product range. These differ in the number of amplifier channels per frame: one, two, four, or eight. The overall power rating is 500 watts for all of the amplifiers. The power amplifiers can be set to 100 V, 70 V and 50 V output tappings. They have short-to-ground and short-circuit detection functions, and can generate
their own pilot tone for supervision purposes.

Features:

• 1, 2, 4, or 8 audio outputs (selection from 100 / 70 / 50 V outputs)
• Audio processing and delay for each amplifier channel
• Amplifier supervision and spare amplifier switching
• Loudspeaker line and loudspeaker supervision (LBB 4428/00 only line supervision)
• Eight control inputs and 1, 2, 4 or 8 control outputs

Controls and indicators

• 2 x 16-character LCD for status display
• Rotary/push control button
• Mains switch

 

Interconnections

• Mains input
• Battery backup input
• Two system network connections
• Two mic/line inputs (four for LBB 4428/00)
• 100 V, 70 V or 50 V outputs (for each amplifier channel)
• 50 V output
• Eight programmable control inputs
• Control output (for each amplifier channel)
• Headphone output

• Item Code: PRSNCO3

Product Details:

The network control unit is the heart of the Praesideo system. The unit routes up to 28 simultaneous audio channels, delivers power to the system, reports faults, and controls the system. Audio inputs can be announcements from call stations, background music, or local audio. The network control unit can be configured for the most complex public address systems. The configuration can be done comfortably and efficiently via a PC. The PC is only needed for configuration. The controller can operate independently of the PC. However, the controller can use a PC to display information on the system status using the software, supplied with the unit. The unit can be freestanding on a tabletop or mounted in a 19" rack. The PRS‐NCO3 network controller needs PRS‐SW software version 4.0 or higher.

Product Details:

The call station basic can make manual or pre-recorded announcements to any pre-assigned zones.The call station basic has a microphone on a flexible stem, a push-to-talk button, a speaker, and a headset socket. The LBB 4430/00 can be extended with up to 16 keypads (LBB 4432/00 or LBB 4434/00), each with
eight programmable keys. Extension with a numeric keypad (PRS‐CSNKP) is also possible.

Features:

• Redundant network connection
• Power ‘ON’ indication
• Status/fault indications
• Indication that the priority level of destinations is higher than that of the pending announcement
• Supervision of microphone capsule

 

Functions
The call station has a cardioid, supervised microphone on a gooseneck stem with good speech intelligibility. A limiter and a speech filter improve intelligibility and prevent clipping of the audio. It has a volume control for the monitoring speaker and the headset. When it plays a chime or a pre-recorded message, the call station activates its speaker. When a headset is connected, it replaces the microphone and speaker. The call station has its own DSP, and converts between analog and digital audio. The audio
processing can include sensitivity adjustment, limiting, and parametric equalization. Up to 16 call station keypads can connect to the station via a serial communication link. The station provides the power for the keypads. Up to 224 priorities can be assigned to the call station. All configuration can be done via the Praesideo network controller. The call station is fully supervised and supports fail-safe operation. Even if the Praesideo network
controller fails, the call station is still able to put through emergency calls.

 

Controls and indicators

• Three status LEDs
• Configurable PTT-key
• Volume control for loudspeaker/headset

 

Interconnections

• Two system network connections
• Serial data and power supply interface for call station keypads
• 3.5 mm jack for headset

 

 

 

Additional Information:

• Item Code: LBB-4430-00

Product Details:

The LBB 4438/00 is a call station with the same functionality as the basic call station, LBB 4430/00, but it uses CAT-5 cable for its connection to the Praesideo network. It connects, one-to-one, to the call station interface, LBB 4437/00, which is part of the Praesideo optical network. The CAT-5 cable, carrying digital audio and control data, can be as long as 1 km. The length of the CAT-5
cable is not a part of the Praesideo optical network length.
This considerably increases the overall possible length of
the optical network. The LBB 4438/00 can be extended with up to 16 keypads (LBB 4432/00 or LBB 4434/00), each with eight
programmable keys.

Features:-

• Connects to call station interface via CAT-5 cable
• Up to 1 km from Praesideo optical network
• Uses standard Praesideo keypads for extension
• Built-in limiter
• Powered via CAT-5 and/or local power supply
• Complete supervision
• IEC 60849 compliant

 

Functions
The call station has a cardioid, supervised microphone on a
gooseneck stem with good speech intelligibility. A limiter and a speech filter improve intelligibility and prevent clipping of the audio. It has a volume control for the monitoring speaker and the headset. When it plays a chime or a pre-recorded message, the call station activates its speaker. When a headset is connected, it replaces the microphone and speaker. The remote call station connects via a CAT-5 cable to an LBB 4437/00 unit, which interfaces it to the Praesideo optical network. The station gets its power from the interface unit via the CAT-5 cable, but is also equipped with a local power supply connection for extreme cases with a very long cable and many keypads. Up to 16 call station keypads can connect to the station via a serial communication link. The call station provides the power for the keypads. Up to 224 priorities can be assigned to the call station. All configuration can be done via the Praesideo network controller. The remote call station is fully supervised and complies with IEC 60849. The call station supports fail-safe operation. Even if the Praesideo network controller fails, the call station is still able to put through emergency calls.
