1 Introduction
1.1 BVRD2M TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The VIGIL EVAS BVRD2M is a DSP controlled Voice Alarm
Routing Matrix that is fully compliant with BS5839 part 8 and
EN54 part 16.
The BVRD2M master unit provides eight electronically balanced
inputs, each with 3 band parametric (plus bass and treble)
equalisation, an optional limiter / compressor, and independent
priority settings.
Inputs 1 and 2 are normally reserved for fire microphones and are
configurable with an “All Call” processor bypass.
There are seven electronically balanced outputs, each with 10
band parametric EQ and selectable audio delay of up to 1 second.
Up to six CD quality messages, each of a maximum of 57 seconds,
can be stored in DSP memory. Each message has independent
level, surveillance and timing settings.
There is also a single “All Call” fail safe EPROM message
generator that can be used in the unlikely event of processor
failure.
The unit is fully monitored and includes a real time clock that is
used for date stamping the stored fault / event log.

ADual 24V PSU Inputs The BVRD2M requires two seperate 24V DC supplies.
A fault will be announced if either of the supplies is not
connected.
BAux 24V Output Auxillary 24V supply derived from both PSU inputs.
Max output 1A.
COpen Collector
Control Outputs
6 x NPN collector outputs (max 40V @ 100mA) for busy
etc
DReset DSP Button Initiates a Processor / Firmware restart
EAnalogue Inputs 1-4 Pull
Down Switch
Analogue inputs 1-4 are usually pulled high (18V).
When used for ANS, the inputs must be pulled low.
FAnalogue Voltage
