1.Dear Readers

Thank you for using ITC fire voice broadcasting system, in order to facilitate your understanding and the

manual’s description, suggestion are as follows:

The mentioned "Voice information" in the manual includes

Built-in EVAC, ALERT voice.

Built-in paging and PSTN voice menu prompt tone.

Built-in BGM, line input audio and remote paging audio.

Note: The qty of voice information of EVAC / ALERT / BGM / PROMPT memory cards cannot exceed 100.

The system control priority

When configuring audio operation priority, please follow the principle that manual first, then automatic,

local first, then remote.

Recommend to make Mic PTT and EVAC voice configuration with a higher priority.

It has total 26 kinds of audio signal system, in consideration of the network bandwidth, only 24 different

audio signal can be sent to the system partitions, audio priority can be configured through software (when

configured with backup host, the priority of the audio signals come from one host can be the same, the

priority of the audio signals come from diferent hosts must be different).

Some icons are described as belows

—Loop playback.

—Single cycle.

—Order play.

—Single player.

—Random Play.

—Click to adjust the output level of the current partition (It is invalid for EVAC voice and zone

paging broadcasting).

—Represent the current partition output muted (volume output is 0).

—Click for monitoring audio signal of current partition.

—It means audio signal of current partition is monitored.

—Equipment or module fault appears in the system.

—It indicates that the system is currently operating in an emergency mode.

—It represents that the host is offline.

—It indicates that the network is connected.

—It represents the host starts the PSTN calling function.

—It indicates that MIC is calling.

—Green indicates that the module is working.

—Yellow indicates module failure.

—Grey indicates that the module is normal.

LED Status Description of the Equipment

Yellow —Fault, system detect that some equipment is lost comparing to the current configuration, the

normal operation of the system may be affected.

Off - indicates that the system according to the user's current configuration does not detect the equipment,

or equipments work abnormally, everything runs smoothly (in the case that module is not configured, it is

also off).

Green – 1. On ---- works normally; 2. Flashing ----- current partitions which are called are all switched to

playing the audio with the higher priority.

Red – 1. On ---- warning; 2. Flashing ----- waiting.

The system partition status descriptions

Partition status means that the real-time job status of local speaker loop bus, which includes the loop bus

open, short-circuit, ground, normal and currently working audio. When system diagnostics speakers’

partition bus that has short circuit, in order to protect the power amplifier, it will immediately stop

outputting audio signal of the current partition; when system diagnostics speakers’ partition bus that has

grounded and open, it does not stop outputting audio signal of the current partition, but it will beep and

fault indication to alert the user and record the time point of failure and failure of the partition, for the

specific view, please refer to the following sections.

Attention

1) Do not let the system equipment install in the sunlight or near a heater, because the device may

become deformed or fade into the protected status due to high temperature and stop working.

2) Do not install the system device or store in a dusty, humid place, otherwise it will affect stability or

cause intermittent fault when the system is working.

3) System equipment should be as far away from the strong magnetic field generated by the device, in

case of high electromagnetic interferences system equipment normal operation.

4) System equipment VA-6000MA / MS / BC, VA-P8500S are designed specifically for cabinet installation,

if you install two or more units on a cabinet, between the device and the device you should set aside the

corresponding space for ventilation to maintain good heat dissipation.

5) In order to make the system work stably, please ensure the reliability of ground connection of the

equipment.

6) The system does not allow parallel amplifier, which may cause permanent failure.

7) Remote Microphone (VA-6000FM / RM) provides phantom power, real-time testing, please do not turn

off the switch at work to avoid system to report failures misjudgment.

8) The main equipment lines of the system all have back-up, please allocate according to the actual

needs. If any serious fault happens and lead to system disorder, please contact the staff for after-sales

service. Do not attempt to disassemble the internal portion for personal maintenance treatment , in order

to prevent permanent damage to the device or module and avoid electrical shock.

9) The product is the Class I device that must be connected to a power outlet with a grounding power

outlet to ensure adequate grounding device.

10) The equipment used the power plug is disconnected from the grid power supplies, to ensure security,

please pull out the power plug after using the equipment, and make sure complete loss of the power.

11) Because the appearance and functions of this system will continue to upgrade, but are backward

compatible, any discrepancy in kind, please in kind prevail.

2.System Overview

Increasingly larger size of the current building, the jurisdiction area of the entire region is more widely, the

diameter can be up to several hundred meters or a few kilometers, so if the voice alarm system which can

meet these requirement use traditional analog technology transfer and monitoring signals in technology

respect, it not only need to address non-negligible attenuation of the signal generated by long-distance

transmission, but also solve the electromagnetic interference between different space environment, the

face of the construction, wiring, centralized control and monitoring of future maintenance costs... and

upgrading the system, backup, redundant data lines and the like.

To solve the above problems, VA-6000 system came into being, she provides customers with

comprehensive public audio transmission control solution, a system can meet the requirement of voice

alarm, business broadcasting and background music playing simultaneously, and with high investment

Modular MPU control effectiveness, the linkage problem existing between different systems, together with

ASD automatic fault diagnosis system of independent research and development technology, SID

speaker line automatic detection technology, DLB line automatic data redundancy, makes the system

more secure, stable and reliable, and significantly reduce the pre-purchase period and future

maintenance costs. If you are looking for the new building that can be set on demand, internally and

externally, safe and reliable public broadcasting and fire radio integration solution, then the VA-6000

system is a good choice for you; she is 5-star hotel, offices, medium-sized shopping malls, stadiums, the

ideal solution for the project, she hides multifunction integrated and advanced digital network technology

under the simple appearance, when compared with VA-2000 system, this system is aimed to enhance

security and stability integration, focusing more on enjoying the good sound quality and enhancing the

user experience.
