Thank you for choosing 4EVAC as your Voice Evacuation System solution. 
The 4EVAC Compact 500 is an all-in-one Voice Evacuation System box. The box contains a completely 

integrated Voice Evacuation System, capable of both standalone and network operation. The  4EVAC 

Compact 500 is certified in accordance with EN54-16 and EN54-4, which are harmonized standards under 

the Construction Products Regulation, mandatory in the European Union.  

1.

 

What is the 4E-FMWB? 

The 4E-FMWB is a wall mounted microphone paging station 

with pushbutton panel  and fireman microphone. It can 

address up to 6 zones for emergency EVAC paging. 4E-FMWB 

includes a fist microphone with a built-in PTT button, which 

can be pre-programmed to access certain zones or group of 

zones. The EVAC and ALERT messages may be triggered on 

the  front panel of the  4E-FMWB by means of dedicated 

buttons. 
Additionally, the 4E-FMWB incorporates mandatory EN-54-16 

system indications, as well as a fault/emergency buzzer and 

mandatory manual controls, including a Lamp Test and system reset. 
The 4E-FMWB is connected to the L-Net interface of the 4EVAC system main unit (Compact 500 or Impact 

Controller) and may be daisy-chained with more L-Net devices. The 4E-FMWB is dedicated to EVAC / ALERT 

messages and live EVAC paging and is not suitable as a commercial or general purpose paging microphone. 

The 4E-FMWB operates with full fault monitoring of the microphone, where the microphone transducer, 

PTT button and cable are surveilled.

Where do I start? 

First, make sure that you are officially allowed to access the hardware of 4EVAC system devices. This is 

usually the case if: 

 

you are an authorized representative of 4EVAC; 

 

you have been trained by 4EVAC or one of  its authorized representatives for installation, service 

and commissioning of 4EVAC Voice Evacuation Systems. 

Unauthorized hardware and/or software modifications are against the law and outside of  the 

manufacturer’s responsibility. If you have doubts about your status and access level permissions, please 

contact the 4EVAC main office. 
Important note: Access level 3 explanation
