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

Voice Evacuation System, capable of both standalone and network operation. 4EVAC  Compact 500 is 

certified in accordance with EN54-16 and EN54-4, which are harmonized standards under Construction 

Products Regulation, mandatory in the European Union.  

1.

 

What does Compact 500 do? 

Compact 500 is a small form factor Voice Evacuation System which covers full compliance with standards 

for voice alarm installations, offering features typical for public-address applications  at the same time. 

The primary task of the  Compact 500 is to deliver reliable  and intelligible  transmission of voice alarm 

messages to the public in emergency situations, such as fire. The secondary task of the Compact 500 is to 

provide  public-address functionalities, such as background music, public announcements or general 

paging. 
Compact 500 is extremely scalable due to its network capabilities and creates a distributed architecture 

where each unit remains fully operational, even during network failure. 

2.

 

Configuration settings 

Compact 500 is supplied with a pre-installed micro SD memory card. The memory card contains a complete 

Compact 500 system configuration file, including audio messages. 
The configuration file includes user-defined settings, such as: 

-

 

network components, 

-

 

zoning,  

-

 

audio message files , 

-

 

volume levels, 

-

 

hardware related settings, 

-

 

system behavior for various triggers, etc. 

The configuration file should be prepared in the C500 Manager. The 4EVAC Manager is a GUI software 

package running on Windows OS.  More information about the C500 Manager can be found in the software 

manual “C500 Manager guide”. 

NOTE: Please make sure that the configuration file is prepared with the version of the C500 Manager 

compatible with the firmware of the Compact 500. 

The installation file of the latest 4EVAC Manager and the manual are available at our website:
