1.
What is the 4E-FMTC?
4E-FMTC is a desktop/wall mounted microphone station with touchscreen
panel. It can address up to 255 zones and trigger every source or message
available in the entire system. 4E-FMTC features a gooseneck microphone for
general paging and a (behind transparent fireman’s door) separate, fully
monitored fireman microphone.
4E-FMTC offers dual mode operation: a paging mode (fireman’s door
closed), where only general messages and paging features are available, and
emergency mode (fireman’s door open), where emergency messages and
fireman’s microphone is available.
4E-FMTC is connected to the L-Net interface of the Compact 500 main unit and may be daisy-chained with
more L-Net devices. The 4E-FMTC is dedicated for call points where both general purpose paging and
emergency evacuation management is necessary. 4E-FMTC includes fault monitoring and EVAC
functionality, thus is suitable as an emergency microphone.

Where do I start?
First, make sure that you are officially allowed to access the hardware of Compact 500 system devices. This
is usually the case if:
you are an authorized representative of 4EVAC;
you have been trained by 4EVAC or one of its authorized representatives for installation, service
and commissioning of the Compact 500 Voice Evacuation System.
Unauthorized hardware and/or software modifications are against the law and outside of the
manufacturer’s responsibility. If you have doubts about your status and access level permissions, please
contact the 4EVAC main office.
Important note: Access level 3 explanation

restricted. This gives access to all interfaces, internal system
connections and sensitive hardware settings that are of high
importance to system operation mode, hardware reliability and safety
(Access Level 3 according to EN54-16, Annex A). This access level (and
higher) is strictly protected by the manufacturer and reserved only for
service personnel who is trained, approved and officially certified by
the manufacturer. Any actions carried out in Access Level 3 without
manufacturer’s explicit approval may lead to incorrect settings or
