CHAPTER 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION & SPECIFICATION
1.1 OVERVIEW
The Vigilant MICROVAC is a self-contained single zone emergency warning system
designed to facilitate the orderly evacuation of a zone in the event of an emergency.
Microprocessor-based, MICROVAC has been designed to perform the functions specified by
Australian Standard AS2220.1 (1989) for emergency warning systems in buildings. When
used in a standalone mode it contains no facilities for the emergency intercommunication
system requirements of AS2220. These are an option in networked systems.
The MICROVAC emergency warning system generates the emission of audible warning
signals throughout the zone via loudspeakers. In areas where the background noise level is
high, the loudspeakers can be supplemented by the use of visible warning strobe lights.
Two standard 25W versions are available, wall mounting (FP0530), and rack mounting
(FP0533). The rack mounting version is designed for integration within a Fire Panel, and to
use the Fire Panel's power supply.
In addition models are available with integrated 100W or 200W booster amplifiers.
All models may be supplied with or without networking facilities. Networking enables a
Microvac to be integrated with a QE90 system and controlled by one or more QE90 ECPs.
The product line-up and part numbers are given below.

WIP facilities can be added to the networked versions in two ways (separately or combined).
Firstly a single WIP can be connected to the ECM module and used as a WIP for that zone.
Picking up this WIP will automatically call the programmed ECPs in the system. The WIP
may be called from these ECPs.
Secondly an 8 circuit WIP module (or more depending on the cabinet size) may be installed
in the Microvac to provide up to 8 field WIPs. In addition a WIP connected to the ECM
module may be used as a Master WIP. All these WIPs may be called from designated ECPs
in the network, and may call to these ECPs. Calls from the field WIPs may in addition be
answered by the Microvac master WIP. However as there are no WIP controls at the
Microvac it is not possible to call the field WIPs from the Microvac master WIP.
