Chapter 2
General Description
2.1 Previdia Ultra System
Previdia Ultra is a modular system for constructing fire detection, alarm, exinguishing and voice alarm systems. A voice
evacuation system (commonly named “EVAC” standing for Emergency Voice Alarm and Communication) is a system
that uses loudspeakers and amplifiers with characteristics suitable for alerting building occupants to imminent danger in
the event of a fire. In addition to this specific function, a voice system can also be used for common “PA” (Public
Addressing) purposes, that is, for the diffusion of music or non-emergency communications.
These functions can be activated and used in accordance with the combination of modules which make up the system.
The three typical system applications are:
• control panel in single cabinet
• control panel in several cabinets (multi-cabinet system)
• control panels in a network (RS485 connection, Ethernet point-to-point, optic fiber)
There are three basic control panel models which can be developed and expanded through the use and installation of
additional modules.
The basic control panel models are:
•Previdia-Ultra216
control panel in single cabinet with fire detection functions. The control panel
includes the modules:
- FPMCPU, main CPU unit with display
- IFAMPSU, power-supply module capable of supplying current up to 1KWatt at
27.6V
- IFM2L - module for the management of two loop circuits for devices
distributed in the protected area.
•Previdia-Vox
control panel in single cabinet with voice evacuation functions. The control
panel includes the modules:
-FPAMIAS: control panel with display for EVAC/PA voice functions
-IFAMPSU, power-supply module capable of supplying current up to 1KWatt at
27.6V
-IFAMEVAC: audio matrix module for signals processing
-IFAMAMP: 250W audio amplifier module
-PTT microphone

Ultra216, or the FPAMIAS unit for the Previdia-Vox control panel.
Positioned inside the cabinet is the interconnection bar, distribution of power and
the signals of the CAN DRIVE+, for housing up to 8 IFM and IFAM modules,
depending on the needs of the system.
2.3Multi-cabinet control panels
The capacity of the control panel can be expanded by affixing as many as 4 cabinets together.
The cabinets can be affixed together by securing the bottom of one cabinet to the top of another
by means of the supplied bolts. Once the cabinets are affixed to one another, all the CAN DRIVE+
bars must be connected together by means of the supplied BUS cable.
The number of housings available for front-plate and internal modules increases with the number of
cabinets installed.
A control panel with several cabinets can use several IFAMPSU power-supply modules or IFM24160,
mounted one in each of its cabinets, as long as they are of one model and not both models
together. In this way the control panel has a total current equal to the sum of the maximum currents
of the power-supply modules installed which automatically share the load current.
2.4 Control panels in a Hornet+ network
To increase the extension of the system with fire-fighting functions, it is possible
to network several Previdia control panels (Ultravox, Vox, Ultra, Max or Compact
up to a maximum of 48) in order to form a system of increased capacity (Hornet
+ network).
When connecting two or more control panels in a Hornet+, it will be necessary
to install an IFMNET module inside each control panel. This module provides
two RS485 ports for the ring connection.
For further information regarding the method used for connecting control
panels in a network refer to the Previdia Networking Guide available at
www.inim.biz.
2.5 IDANet
Through IDANet network-connection technology, Previdia Ultra control panels
can be connected in a ring via a CAT5 ethernet cable (up to 100m) or optical fiber
(by means of an appropriate SFP module according to the type of fiber used).
The IDANet network allows the sharing of all the information with the various
control panels, which effectively makes it into a single system. In the case of
control panels with voice functions in IDANet network, they are capable of
sharing up to 20 audio tracks, thus allowing sound sources to be conveyed from
one node to another in the system.

2.6 Control Panels in an IP network
Multiple control panels, or Hornet+ networks of control
panels with fire functions, or IDANet networks of control
panels with fire and voice functions, can be connected to
each other via a TCP-IP connection.
Each node in a connection of this type is identified as a
“cluster”. Each cluster can consist of:
• a single control panel
•arepeater
•aHornet+network
• a IDANet network
• a network consisting of a Hornet+ ring and an
IDANet ring
By means of a TCP-IP connection, it is then possible to
connect several clusters together.
For further information regarding the method used for connecting control panels in a network refer to the Networking
Guide available at www.inim.biz
Attention: The control panel that acts as a gateway for TCP-IP networking must include the FPMCPU module.
2.7 Inim Cloud fire
The INIM Electronics Cloud service provides Previdia system users with a
further method of intrusion panel management via Internet.
The connection of the control panels to the Cloud service is achieved via the
Ethernet connection of the IFMLAN module and access for the user is
possible with a web interface (App or any browser) without the need to
configure the network on which the control panel is installed. In particular, it
is not necessary to program a router to perform port-forwarding and the like
in order to reach the control panel.
Each cluster, equipped with at least one FPMCPU control panel, can be connected to the Inim cloud, allowing you to
take advantage of the following features:
• Remote system monitoring (thus overcoming local network configuration difficulties)
• System register management (in accordance with local regulations in force)
• Management of the maintenance register
