quantity may vary.

User Manual: NEO System
14 Rev.0.3
The monitoring interfaces, for emergency power supply and general inputs/outputs for activating
the emergency, are available in all equipment of the NEO series. From the configuration
software it is possible to select which ones will be used.
2.4.1 Emergency Power Supply Monitoring
a) Monitoring Inputs for the Emergency Power Supply
This allows the connection of the status-output
signals from the emergency back-up power
supply to the system. It has three double contact
closure inputs: main power supply failure, battery
failure, failure in any of the emergency power
outputs.
Each input has three terminals: Normally
Closed (NC), Common and Normally Open (NO). To activate any of the fault signals, a
contact closure input on NO should be produced, and simultaneously an opening of a
contact closure on NC input. In any other case, it will detect a fault in the connection.
The connection is made through a female 9 pin euroblock connector and 3.81 mm pitch
(supplied with the unit). The wire size range for each pole of this connector is: 0.14 →1.5
mm2 (30 →14 AWG).

2.4.2 Emergency Activation Interface
Figure 8 - Emergency Activation Interface
The emergency activation interface is indicated to perform an interconnection with a fire control
and indication equipment (CIE). All input connections are supervised in order to detect fault in
the transmission line. This interface has three sections:
a) General Emergency Mode Activation Input
This allows activation and deactivation of the emergency mode of the entire system. It consists
of two supervised inputs for the connection of voltage-free contact closures: Reset and
Emergency. In order to monitor the link, the contact closure connections to the equipment shall
be done by two 10kΩexternal electrical resistances (supplied with the unit), placed at the output
of the CIE as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9 - Supervised Connection with the CIE
When the emergency input (EMG) is on, the machine will automatically switch from PA mode to
a state of emergency, and it will broadcast the voice evacuation message at all zones of the
system (default option). The default evacuation sequence can be configured through the
configuration software. When the reset input (RST) is enabled, the system will exit the
emergency mode and return to the normal state.
If an error occurs in the transmission line between the CIE and
the equipment, it will produce a fault indication on the front
panel (see 2.1.3). In systems in which these inputs are not
used, connection monitoring must be disabled in the
configuration software.
NOTE: To avoid an unwanted activation, the system does not
allow the activation inputs to perform the sequence EMG, RST,
EMG instantly. The second consecutive activation will leave a time lapse of 5 seconds.
The connection is via a 4-pin female euroblock connector of 3.81 mm pitch (supplied with the
unit). The wire size range for each pole of this connector is: 0.14 →1.5 mm2 (30 →14 AWG).

The equipment has two output signals, which indicate the operating state
of the system. The EMG signal indicates that the system is operating in
emergency mode. The FLT signal indicates that the system is in failure
mode. They consist of two voltage-free contact closure outputs Normally
Open (NO).
The connection is via a 4-pin female euroblock connector and 3.81 mm
pitch (supplied with the unit). The wire size range for each pole of this
connector is: 0.14 →1.5 mm2 (30 →14 AWG).

c) Emergency Zone Activation Input
This allows the configuration of eight sequences of evacuation
defined by the user. By default, each emergency activation input will
activate the emergency in one zone. It has eight supervision free
voltage contact closure inputs. To monitor the link, the contact
closure connections to the equipment shall be done by two 10kΩ
external electrical resistances (supplied with the unit), placed at the
output of the CIE as shown in Figure 9.
The manual activation has a higher priority over the external
activation inputs, hence the emergency state can be stopped
manually. The manual activation cannot be stopped from a remote
input.
The connection is via two 8-pin female euroblock connector of 3.81 mm pitch (supplied
with the unit). The wire size range for each pole of this connector is: 0.14 →1.5 mm2 (30
