9. Overview

9.5 Features

•

Compliant with BS5839-9: 2011 (abb. Pt9): VoCALL 16 supports the features

required to support designing, installing, commissioning and servicing according to

BS 5839-9:2011 Part 9: Code of practice for the design, installation, commissioning

and maintenance of emergency voice communication systems.

•

Loop wired configuration: VoCALL 16 outstations are connected on a loop.

Studies have shown this approach can support up to a 75% reduction in cable

installation costs. i.e. cables, tray, fixings, conduit and most importantly, time.

•

Simple and easy installation: VoCALL 16 Panel can support up to 16 loop

powered Outstations. Outstations can be of variant Type A/B. Pictorial installation

instructions are supplied with all units. No additional accessories are required to

complete the installation.

•

Fault tolerant design and continuous fault monitoring: The system design

enables a fault tolerant loop installation which ensures high availability of

outstations – isolators protect the signal path from loss of operation due to a single

cable fault on the loop.

•

Superior audio quality: VoCALL 16 is a fully digital system. The panel and

outstations communicates using digital data which provides high immunity to

electrical noise and ensures superior audio quality for

maximum intelligibility.

•

Extensive system operation monitoring and logging: VoCALL 16 provides

extensive and detailed internal logging of all significant events providing a record for

fault finding, tracking and usage compliance.

•

User interface: Large LCD screen, keypad and a simple menu system allows ease

of use during system configuration, monitoring and day to day operation.

•

User configuration: VoCALL 16 facilitates a maximum of 10 user login / profiles

to be created per panel. Each user’s profile can be configured independently

allowing system administrator flexibility to support the needs of most demanding

applications. For details, refer to Section 11.

•

Secure communications: VoCALL 16 has been designed within Eaton’s stringent

cyber security guidelines. The system is designed to protect against unauthorized

and malicious users. For more information refer to Appendix 7.

•

Storage: VoCALL 16 has the capacity to store 2000 transactional records within

each panels history log. These logs are also continually saved onto a 4 GB SD card

provided with each panel.

17INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL 25-13741-E January 2020 www.eaton.com

10. Installation

10.1 Placement guidelines

The VoCALL 16 system is intended for indoor usage. Outstations should not be

installed outdoors unless an additional IP65, or better housing, is used and cables are

installed to prevent the ingress of moisture.

General guidelines – one main panel

There must be at least one panel in a building or complex.

Panel(s) should be located:

1. Close to the main fire alarm panel or a repeater fire panel, in an area of low

fire risk.

2. In an area with low background noise, particularly during an emergency.

Fire alarm sounders or Voice Alarm speakers should not be located near

to the panel.

3. Preferably in a manned control or security room. In a control room, the panel

should be within easy reach from the operator’s normal position.

General guidelines – Outstation

Outstation location should be as per application and in accordance with local

regulations guidelines and standards.

1. Fire and rescue service assistance: Outstations should be provided on all

floors of the building served by firefighting stairs, and in the firefighting lobby

to each firefighting stair. An additional outstation should be provided at each

fire and rescue service access point.

2. Evacuation Management: Outstations should be provided on all escape

staircases on every floor of the building.

3. In an emergency, communication with disabled building occupants:

Outstations should be provided in all refuges and, where appropriate, an

outstation should be provided adjacent to the evacuation lift on each floor.

They should be mounted at a height of between 900 mm and 1.2 m above the

floor in an easily accessible, well illuminated and conspicuous position, free

from obstruction.

ote: N Background noise levels in the vicinity of devices should be kept as low as

possible, and in any case less than 40dB.
