INTRODUCTION
The OPTIMUS DVA-102ETH unit is an Ethernet-
controlled player of digital messages in WAV or OGG
format.
The digital messages are stored on a 2 GB Compact
Flash memory card, which is supplied together with the
DVA-102ETH.
It occupies one unit of height in 19” Rack cabinets.
As an element of the OPTIMAX Public Address and Voice
Alarm system, the following functions are supported:
Playing of the messages pre-recorded on the
Compact Flash card through the Ethernet link
towards the OPTIMAX digital power units.
Recording of messages on the Compact Flash card
from the following sources:
-
Local microphone input
-
Ethernet link
Activation of messages and selection of zones to
which these are to be directed by means of:
-
P.A. Manager Software, by means of Ethernet
commands
-
Activation of local contacts
Reception of system alarms via IP and display of
these on the front LCD screen.
Another functionality of the DVA-102ETH is that it
works autonomously, as a source of messages towards
analog power units or as a link between an installation
in an OPTIMAX network and conventional PA systems
with analog power units. In the latter case, it supports:
Reception of audio via IP and transmission of this
through the analog audio output.
Playing of pre-recorded messages from the Compact
Flash card and transmission of these through the
analog audio output.
Recording of messages on the Compact card from
the following sources:
-
Local microphone input
-
Ethernet link
Activation of messages and selection of zones to
which these are to be directed by means of:
-
P.A. Manager Software, by means of Ethernet
commands
-
Activation of local contacts
Translation of the zone selection commands received
via IP into RS485 commands (by polling in
installations with UDCE-01 zones and by CSMA in
installations with UMX-02/0 zones).
In installations with UMX-02/0 zones, reception of
the system alarms via RS485 CSMA and display of
these on the front LCD screen.
Therefore, this unit adds more power to the
management of pre-recorded messages in PA systems,
and it perfectly complements the capacities of the
OPTIMAX digital system, designed for PA and Voice
Evacuation systems according to the European standard
UNE-EN 60849.
