2 System Build-Up & Functions
2.1 General Description
The SPA series PA system is specially designed to meet the demands
foraexibleande󰀩cientpublicaddresssystemforuseonboard
marinevesselsando󰀨shoreinstallations.
Thesystemisavailableindi󰀨erentversionsando󰀨ersasetofstandard
and optional features that cover the requirements for a marine PA and
General Alarm system.
One SPA rack can have wattages ranging from 120 W up to 2800 W
with a maximum of 400 W per loop and 1200 W per zone. Combining
several racks will increase the wattage considerably.
The main board with standard functions and terminals, optional function
boards,amplier(s)andentertainmentsourcearenormallyhoused
in a 19” rack cabinet. The height of the rack may be from 16U to 40U
instepsof4Udependingonthenumberofampliersandmodules
mounted.
Optionally, Zenitel may deliver system wiring and integration, testing,
and documentation.
2.2 Standard Class and DNV Requirements
Thesystemrequirementsaredi󰀨erentforconventionalandpassenger
vessels and for PA systems with or without General Alarm features.
Some features require optional boards connected to the main terminal
board. These boards are mounted on DIN rails or in the lower part of the
rack and interfaced to the terminal board by cables with plugs.
2.2.1 Basic PA for Conventional Vessels

2.2.4 Basic PA & GA for Passenger Vessels
●Same basic features as for PA listed in sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2.
● Passengervesselsrequiretwoidenticalseparateracksindi󰀨erent
rezones:
- both systems operate in parallel
- if one system fails, the other will still work.
● Theremustbeseparateloudspeakerloopsfromeachamplier:
- theloopsmusthavedi󰀨erentphysicalroutings.
●Requires two single interconnected alarm generators:
- one in each system.
●Requires minimum two dual microphone and alarm panels:
- each panel serves both systems.
- if one panel fails, the other will still work.
- each panel has 2 control boards for A & B systems.
Figure 5 Basic PA & GA for passenger vessels
2.3 System Overview
2.3.1 General
The central PA unit has a number of audio inputs, signal inputs, audio
outputs, and audio controllers.
2.3.2 Priority
Allaudioinputsaregivenaprioritywithstandardconguration:
- Optional Talk Back input Priority 1
- 3 x microphone panels Priority 2-4
- PABX audio Priority 5
- Alarm panels Priority 6 (optional higher priority)
- Entertainment source Priority 7
Fromtheabove,itmeansthatinstandardconguration,acallfrom
a microphone panel will override an ongoing alarm signal. This can
be accepted for installations in which all PA panels are to be used in
locations intended for Emergency PA usage (bridge, next to life boats,
etc.).
However, in installations in which there are PA panels to be used in
locations not intended for Emergency PA usage (like restaurants, bars,
receptions, etc.), the GA/Alarm priority should be heightened to 3 or
4,andnon-emergencyPApanelsshouldbeconguredontheinput
connectors of lower priority.
Alarms (GA) can be changed upwards to priority 3-5 by using jumpers
on the basic terminal board – see section 2.8 in the SPA Conguration
and Installation Manual.
2.3.3 Zones
There are six 100 V loudspeaker zones to e.g. cabins, accommodations,
corridors, outdoor areas, life boat areas, engine areas.
- PA microphone panels can select zones 1-6 or all zones
- PABX telephone zones can be preset with jumpers on the basic
terminal board for zones 1 to 6
- Alarm and microphone panels can be set to one, two or more of the
six zones or all zones.
- Entertainment distribution can be restricted to pre-selected zones.
- Onlyrecrewcanhavezonesetindefaultversionofsystem.

2.3 System Overview
2.3.1 General
The central PA unit has a number of audio inputs, signal inputs, audio
outputs, and audio controllers.
2.3.2 Priority

- Optional Talk Back input Priority 1
- 3 x microphone panels Priority 2-4

Fromtheabove,itmeansthatinstandardconguration,acallfrom
a microphone panel will override an ongoing alarm signal. This can
be accepted for installations in which all PA panels are to be used in
locations intended for Emergency PA usage (bridge, next to life boats,
etc.).
However, in installations in which there are PA panels to be used in
locations not intended for Emergency PA usage (like restaurants, bars,
receptions, etc.), the GA/Alarm priority should be heightened to 3 or
4,andnon-emergencyPApanelsshouldbeconguredontheinput
connectors of lower priority.
Alarms (GA) can be changed upwards to priority 3-5 by using jumpers
on the basic terminal board – see section 2.8 in the SPA Conguration
and Installation Manual.
2.3.3 Zones
There are six 100 V loudspeaker zones to e.g. cabins, accommodations,
corridors, outdoor areas, life boat areas, engine areas.
- PA microphone panels can select zones 1-6 or all zones
- PABX telephone zones can be preset with jumpers on the basic
terminal board for zones 1 to 6
- Alarm and microphone panels can be set to one, two or more of the
six zones or all zones.
- Entertainment distribution can be restricted to pre-selected zones.
- Onlyrecrewcanhavezonesetindefaultversionofsystem.
