1. What is IMPACT?
4EVAC IMPACT is a scalable, networkable Voice
Evacuation System suitable for installations which
require centralized power amplification of large
capacity.
It is dedicated to centralized installations, yet fully
capable of distributed operation.
4E-FSC is a DIN-rail mounted, optical multimode fiber signal adapter dedicated for the 4EVAC Voice
Evacuation Systems. 4E-FSC is dedicated only to the G-Net (Global Network) of the 4EVAC system,
interconnecting main units of the system. It extends single link range up to 2 km.
The fiber adapter is powered directly over the G-Net port.
4E-FSC features a standard SC connector for the fiber cable, providing easy click-in connection.
2. System components
Core components
2.1.1. CONTROLLER
2.1.2. DCA2.500 charging amplifier
2.1.3. 4E-SW6 zone switching module
Peripherals
IMPACT is fully compatible with all L-Net devices as well as the Compact 500 system.
Impact and Compact systems both can work in one network, sharing the same configuration data.

3. Connection diagram
4. Network cabling
The 4EVAC network features a full duplex RS-422 data link and 24V DC power to remote devices.
If you’re building a distributed system using the 4EVAC network, you should make physical links between
devices using the right cables. The cabling should meet the following requirements:
1. Crossover twisted-pair cable (compatible with Ethernet crossover)
2. CAT5e or higher for maximum distance of 250m.
3. Non-CAT / lower than CAT5e: 250m not guaranteed.

4. Shield required (at least FTP)
NOTE: If you use a straight cable, the device will power up but the Tx/Rx data terminals will not be properly
connected. This will result in a communication fault.
Caution! Use only crossover cables and keep the correct pinout! Connecting power pins to data pins will
damage the network port.
