Minerva® MX AVBase Loop Powered Sounder Base and Sounder Beacon Base
The MINERVA® MX AVBase range of devices includes a sounder
beacon base and a high output sounder base for use with MX
Technology fire controllers MX1000, MX4000, MX2 & MZX.
DDA Compliance
In many cases, to ensure compliance with the Disability
Discrimination Act (DDA) it is necessary to install visual warning
devices in addition to the normal fire alarm sounders. With MINERVA® MX and the AVBase, compliance with the DDA is
uncomplicated and does not require the use of special, high cost
detection units.
Reflective Sound Monitoring (RSM)
Reflective Sound Monitoring is employed to monitor the audio
output of the sounder. This is particularly beneficial during regular
weekly sounder tests. RSM allows the system to listen for
audibility whenever the sounders are operated and the MINERVA® MX panel will alert the user if any sounders fail to operate.
Failure of the beacon would also generate a fault at the control
panel.
Integral Line Isolation
This range of AV Bases are designed to operate on the robust
MINERVA® MX digital loop. An integral line isolator automatically
provides protection against short circuit cable faults thus
reducing the need for additional line isolator modules.
Simplified Installation
As a single point of installation for detector, isolator, sounder and
beacon, installation costs are reduced and wiring is simplified.
Four volume settings are selectable ranging from high (90dB) to
low (60dB ) and 15 tones are available. The high brightness
Multi- LED beacon provides a 1.5 candela output with adjustable
flash rate.
Programming has been simplified by allowing the tone, volume
and flash rate to be set by the MINERVA® MXConsys configuration
utility. This means adjustments to the settings can be achieved
without having to access the device location. Changes can be
made to all sounders by a single panel software download which
saves time and reduces commissioning costs. |
