VOICE EVACUATION
ACCESSORIES
Remote Microphone Panel:
Features
• All-Call Remote Microphone
• Overrides alarm tone and automatic message
• Any number of remote microphones

The PVX-RM is a supervised remote microphone for use with the
EVAX 25(50) voice evacuation system. The microphone provides
crystal-clear live voice messages over the system speakers.
Ideal for use when the re alarm panels are in an electrical room, and
the annunciator and microphone
are in the lobby.
The PVX-RM is perfectly suited for applications in gymnasiums,
nightclubs, auditoriums, churches, and other places of assembly.
Locate at control rooms, guard stations, and reception areas.
Up to 5 PVX-RM Panels may be connected to a single PVX-SC
Supervisory Card. This provides supervision of the wires to the
PVX-RM and they may be located up to 5000 feet away.
Housed in an attractive surface or semi-ush mounted backbox, with a
hinged locking door. The PVX-RM features dead front
construction, a microphone with a “Press-to-Talk” button, and
discreet LEDs to display “In-Use” and “Fault” status.
Blackbox Dim: 8 x 10 x 3" (w x h x d)
Color: Red (standard) Charcoal Grey (optional)
Operation
In the normal (Standby) mode, announcements can be made from any
remote microphone at any time. Simply keying any remote
microphone will allow a manual paging message to be broadcast in an
“ALL-CALL” mode.
If multiple remote microphones are used, and two or more are
simultaneously keyed, then the rst microphone keyed will have
paging priority. The paging microphone in the master will always have
priority over any and all remote microphones. The PVX-RM can be
wired for general public address, and will be automatically disabled
on alarm.
In the alarm mode, the keying of any remote microphone will
interrupt any pre-recorded tone or message, and will allow manual
voice evacuation messages to take priority. When the microphone
Press-to-Talk key is released, the automatic pre-recorded voice
evacuation message (typically tone and voice) will be replayed from
the start.
