The PVX-RM is a supervised remote microphone for use with the 

EVAX 25(50) voice evacuation system. The microphone provides 

crystal-clear live voice messages over the system speakers.

Ideal for use when the fire alarm panels are in an electrical room, and 

the annunciator and microphone

are in the lobby.

The  PVX-RM  is  perfectly  suited  for  applications  in  gymnasiums, 

nightclubs, auditoriums, churches, and other places of assembly. 

Locate at control rooms, guard stations, and reception areas.

Up to 5 PVX-RM Panels may be connected to a single PVX-SC 

Supervisory Card. This provides supervision of the wires to the 

PVX-RM and they may be located up to 5000 feet away.

Housed in an attractive surface or semi-flush mounted backbox, with a 

hinged locking door. The PVX-RM features dead front 

construction, a microphone with a “Press-to-Talk” button, and 

discreet LEDs to display “In-Use” and “Fault” status.

Blackbox Dim: 

8 x 10 x 3" (w x h x d)

Color:   

Red (standard)   Charcoal Grey (optional)

Operation

In the normal (Standby) mode, announcements can be made from any 

remote microphone at any time. Simply keying any remote 

microphone will allow a manual paging message to be broadcast in an 

“ALL-CALL” mode.

If multiple remote microphones are used, and two or more are 

simultaneously keyed, then the first microphone keyed will have 

paging priority. The paging microphone in the master will always have 

priority over any and all remote microphones. The PVX-RM can be 

wired for general public address, and will be automatically disabled 

on alarm.

In the alarm mode, the keying of any remote microphone will 

interrupt  any  pre-recorded  tone  or  message,  and  will  allow  manual 

voice  evacuation  messages  to  take  priority.  When  the  microphone 

Press-to-Talk key is released, the automatic pre-recorded voice 

evacuation message (typically tone and voice) will be replayed from 

the start.
