Honeywell GENT COMPACT-DAU User manual

A micro Distributed Amplifier Unit, also called
micro-DAU (COMPACT-DAU), connects to the
analogue device loop and audio loop circuits of
Vigilon Compact VA panel. The unit can
accommodate two speaker circuits, each having up
to 5 high efficiency speakers connected in parallel.
The unit has local message store having:
¨Audio Pack 0 - post September 2010 and
¨Audio Pack 1 - pre September 2010
The messages and tones are for output to the
speaker circuits for announcement of emergency
and auxiliary event messages. Announcement of a
centrally stored message or live speech from the
control panel via the emergency microphone is
routed to the micro-DAUs via the audio loop for
output to their speaker circuits. The micro-DAU is
remotely powered by the control panel via a loop
circuit.
The micro-DAU is supplied in two assemblies:
¨Backbox with front cover
¨micro-DAU PCB assembly

To install backbox and micro-DAU PCB
Mount the backbox to a flat wall surface using
suitable fixings. Fit the micro-DAU PCB into the
backbox using the fixing screw and washer provided.
&When fitting micro-DAU PCB into the
backbox ensure the spring on the bottom edge of
the board engages into the spring stop and the
bottom edge of the board fits under the retaining
clips.
Removable terminal block
For ease of wiring the micro-DAU, the terminal blocks
on the PCB can be unplugged.
Terminals for external wiring
The micro-DAU has terminals for the connection of
device loop circuit, audio loop circuit, speaker
circuits, local audio (for local background music) and
local test microphone.
&Always connect the micro-DAU on the
MAIN DEVICE LOOP (analogue loop) and not on a
Spur circuit off the main loop.
There MUST be at least one speaker connected to
each speaker circuit.
.
"After all the wiring is complete fit the bungs
supplied in the spares pack to cover up the unused cable
entry holes. Close the outer door and use the socket head
screws to lock the door.
For details on wiring, see the Vigilon Compact Voice
Alarm Installation instructions booklet supplied with
the control panel.

Female Ladies and gentlemen this speech message is produced by Gent
Limited's Vigilon Compact Voice Alarm system. This product
integrates voice alarm functions into an analogue fire alarm system
ideal for small to medium sized buildings.
"If there is a mix of legacy and post September 2010 Vigilon Compact VA panel, Mains Powered DAU and
micro DAUs in the system then consideration must be given to ensure correct messages are programmed during
commissioning of the system. The best solution to avoid confusion is to ensure Audio Packs are consistent throughout
the system.

How to connect the Device and Audio Loop circuits
The audio loop may be commissioned once the device (analogue) loop has been satisfactorily powered up
with addresses allocated to all the devices on loop circuits. The Audio loop wiring is routed from the control
panel with connection to each micro-DAU and Mains Powered DAU on the associated loop with return
connection at the panel, that is Audio loop 1 is used with Device loop 1 and Audio loop 2 is used with Device
loop 2.

The NVM Link
Before calibrating the speaker circuits or when configuring the micro-DAU always remove the NVM link from
pins 1 and 2 on connector P17 and replace the link after speaker circuit calibration and micro-DAU
configuration.
To calibrate the Speaker circuits at the micro-DAU
Ensure the speaker circuits are connected to the terminals on the micro-DAU, the circuits may be calibrated
by pressing the CAL button.
