systems. The Model 013-02-0095-006 includes only the SIP telephone interface for connection to an IP
telephone system.
The E3 system controller’s Ethernet interface provides a SIP telephone interface, enabling reception of
VoIP telephone calls by the E3 controller. This provides programmable access to the PA system (usually
at the lowest priority level). Allocate a dedicated IP-PBX extension for this service.
Configure an
Elemec3
system controller in the following ways to provide the required level of system
redundancy: 1) Single system (standalone), 2) Hot standby system (N+1), and 3) Duplicate system (A/B)
(see the System Types section).
Use the
Elemec3
Console application to configure the E3 system, via a TCP/IP network connection.
Use the
Elemec3
Portal software application to monitor system status, including current audio activity,
faults, inputs, outputs, and amplifier states via a TCP/IP network connection. The system controller
contains an internal clock to enable a time stamp on event logs when the status of the system changes,
such as an alarm event.
To eliminate the possibility of acoustic feedback, configure the system to replay digitally recorded audio
from access panels, PABX systems, Page/Party systems, and VoIP telephones.
Individually program up to 256 inputs and 256 outputs. Connect up to 16 wired access panels for speech
broadcasts and manual alarm/emergency message activation. Additional audio inputs/outputs are
available to accommodate connections to/from ancillary equipment.
The system has two audio paths to enable two simultaneous broadcasts.
Install the controllers in a standard 19-inch rack for ease of installation and maintenance. All connections
to the controller are a plug/socket type.
System Types
Configure the
Elemec3
system controller in one of three ways: 1) Single System (Standalone), 2) Hot
Standby System (N+1), or 3) Duplicate System (A/B). Refer to the system manual included with the
Elemec3
system for detailed information on that system’s configuration.
Single System (Standalone)
In a single type system, a single
Elemec3
system controller controls the system’s amplifiers, access
panels, and I/O devices.
Hot Standby (N+1) System
In a redundant N+1 system, two controllers, designated as primary and secondary, control a single set of
amplifiers. Duplicate access panels and I/O devices have connections to both controllers.
Automatic switchover (
hot standby
) amplifier control automatically connects spare amplifiers to the
loudspeaker network of failed amplifiers.
Duplicate (A/B) System
In a
duplicated
or redundant system, two
Elemec3
system controllers, designated as
A
and
B
, control two
sets of amplifiers (also designated as A and B) with two speaker lines run in different routes. Duplicate
access panels and I/O devices have connections to both the A and B controllers. Locate duplicate systems
together or at two separate locations, each housing either the A or B system.
