5. Safety instructions
Please read carefully the instructions in this manual before use. Please keep this user manual
nearby for anytime reference.
The Audio Matrix EV-5000 is intended for use over a range of ambient temperatures from -5°C to
+55°C. During transport or storage temperatures from -20°C to +70°C are permissible. Do not
operate the EV-5000 in a damp or dusty area nor expose it to rain or to an environment, where it
may be splashed by water or other liquids. Please allow the unit sufficient time for acclimatisation
to room temperature (minimum 30 minutes) before powering up, if you bring it from a cold into a
warm environment. Do not place the product where it will be in the path of direct sunlight or near a
heater.
Check your local mains voltage before connecting the EV-5000. This device is normally set up for
an AC line voltage of 230 volts, 50 to 60 Hz.
The unit may only be operated at a power receptacle with protective earth conductor. The wires of
the mains power cord have the following colours:
GREEN and YELLOW: PE (Protective Earth)
BLUE: N (Neutral)
BROWN : L (Live)
Warning!
The protective earth conductor must never be interrupted even for test purposes! This may
be dangerous to life!
Do not block the ventilation slots of the chassis. This will cause the temperature rising and may
result in fire. Disconnect the power cord before removing the cover.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire, which is coloured green and yellow, must be connected to the terminal which is marked
by the letter PE or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green and yellow. The wire, which is
coloured blue, must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured
black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter L or coloured red. The fuse protection in the house distribution may not exceed
16 Amperes.

If the following circumstances will occur, please immediately switch off the power and
disconnect the power supply cord. Do not try to operate the device again. Contact your
local dealer to check the unit:
n damages are visible
n the device has fallen
n the device contains loose parts or any liquid gets into the unit
n the device shows malfunctions
n smoke or strange smell is coming out of the device
n the power supply cord is damaged, such as exposure of the core, disconnection etc.
n the device has been stored for a longer period under bad conditions such as open air or in damp
rooms
n the device has been exposed to hard transport conditions like badly packing
When repairing devices with microprocessors (EV-5000, EV-PAGE and EV-REL), the general
precautions and actions reagarding electrostatic discharge have to be taken.
This appliance may only be used in accordance with its intended purpose: Audio Matrix in a public
address or voice alarm system.
6. General Information
The EV-5000 is a Public Address and Voice-Alarm Matrix, which operates all necessary
supervisionfunctions in a slim 1 unit housing according to EN 60849. You can connect several
callstations and release emergency-announcements, stored evacuation-signals, chimes and
background muisc.
All sound files are stored on a SD Flash Memory card for easy handling.
The EV-5000 is the smart choice for a wide range of applications such as schools, convenience
stores, factories, office buildings or hotels. In the minimal setup the system is working cost-effective
with only 1 main-amplifier and a backup-amplifier. In this mode it is possible to implement 4 paging
zones. It is possible to realise projects with additional relay-boards due to its 4 line outputs, or if
even more zones are required, up to 10 EV-5000 can be linked together to control up to 80
speaker zones.
The EV-5000 detects all connected components by an automatic set-up run. The identified items
are clearly shown on the display and will then be supervised completely by the system.
According to the EN 60849 standard the following documentation must be available respectively
records have to be kept:
1. User Manual
2. System Documents
3. Operation Log
4. Maintenance Record Keeping
Please refer to the mentioned standard for further details.

7. Key Features
uClosed 1 unit rack housing
uEasy programming by push buttons and blue illumunated display
uConnection of four 100V power amplifiers and one backup amplifier both supervised
uEach zone output is supervised for open line, short circuit, impedance deviation and short to
earth
u4 transformer balanced line outputs to drive four power amplifiers
uEach line output has ist own volume, treble and bass controls
uTransformer balanced audio output to drive a backup amplifier
uConnection of up to 30 subzone EV-P4 callstations or up to 8 EV-PAGE callstations, so
80 zones can be realised
uProgrammable preannouncement chime
uConnection of 2 Fireman callstations, one on rearside and one on front panel, Mic capsules
and control wires are monitored.
u1 Line input (for instance for background music) with separate level control for each output
u1 Line input (AUX) with contact activating for instance for spotplayer with separate level control
for each output
u2 supervised emergency announcements (EMY) with contact activating
u1 stored message (MSG) for instance for shop closing announcement
uChime for breaks
u230V AC or 24V DC operation
uRelay contact for signalling errors
uRelay contact to control priority override relays, which is active on calls from fireman MICs,
when playing an emergency announcement and during the automatic setup run
uUp to 10 units cascadable in a master/slave configuration. Master/slave predefinition by setting
several jumpers.
uLow cost zone expansion (without background music) by relay card

9. Installation
– see overview page 4 –
9.1 Power Supply
The device is designed for use with 230V AC 50 to 60 Hz mains power. Power can be switched
ON/OFF by the rear side mains power rocker switch.
A backup power providing 24V DC can be connected via a 2-pole pluggable screw terminal. The
rocker switch only breaks the mains power, not the 24V backup power. Both power sources are
monitored by the system. If during the installation run there is no backup power source connected,
the presence of the 24V DC power source is not supervised. Powering from a 24V DC source only
is not possible, since the system will generate always an error message as soon as mains power
fails, regardless what the state was during the installation run.
9.2 Connection of Power Amplifiers
Amplfier inputs have to be connected to the OUT CH1...OUT CH4 pluggable screw terminals, the
backup amplfier to the OUT SPARE connections. All outputs of the EV-5000 are transformer
coupled (balanced and floating) for trouble free operation. Therefore the cable shields have to be
connected at one end only. The following drawing shows some wiring for balanced and unbalanced
amplifier inputs:
These samples are valid for amplifiers, which are earthed by a 3-pole mains power cord and plug.
If all-insulated (double isolation, 2-pole mains power plug) amplfiers are used, which have also no
GND connection via a backup power supply, the shield must be connected on the EV-5000 side
(GND screw terminal) too.
The amplifier outputs (100V types only) are to be connected to the AMP IN1...AMP IN4 inputs and
SPARE AMP IN input respectively.
9.3 Connecting Speaker Lines
Speaker Lines are to be connected to the CH1 OUT...CH4 OUT terminals.
CAUTION!
For error free functioning of supervision, the minimum load has to be 10 Watts per zone at 22 kHz.
Please be aware that speaker impedances are frequency dependent, so each line has to draw
10 watts at 22 kHz not at 1 kHz. If it would be less, please connect a resistor 1 Kiloohm/10Watts in
parallel to the last speaker on the line. Maximum power must not exceed 800Watts/100V per zone.
