• Main and Backup Power Supply

• Power Supply Protection

• Fault Diagnosis

• Line Fault Detection

• Monitoring Function

• Self-test Function

• AVC Function

• Volume Control

• Power Amplifier Management

• Amplifier changeover Function

• Zone Control

• Voice Information Management

Main and Backup Power Supply

The main and standby power supplies are provided with the DCS. The methods by which the

power supply detects faults can be configured through the software. In case of a main power

supply fault, the main power supply indicator light on the front panel of the DCS turns yellow, and

the output fault automatically causes the backup power supply to provide power instead. After the

main power supply is returned to normal, it automatically again supplies power and the backup

power supplies resume their standby presence.

Power Supply Protection

The DCS power supply is protected. In case of a short circuit or other fault within the DCS, the

main power supply is disconnected automatically.

Fault Diagnosis

The DCS automatically detects equipment states, records fault logs, and prompts operation

managers through the fault detection function.

In case of a system fault, the DCS can immediately detect corresponding faults. The DCS fault

indicator light turns yellow, the fault buzzer emits a prompt tone, and the fault information are

recorded in the operation log.

The DCS can detect faults including main and backup power supply faults, emergency microphone

faults, communication faults, loudspeaker circuit faults, earth fault and power amplifier faults (such

as power faults, protection faults, and single output circuit faults).

Line Fault Detection

The DCS can detect loudspeaker circuit faults. When the DCS detects a short circuit, the DCS can

automatically disable the output channel and stop broadcasting so as to prevent the power

amplifier from being protected.

During installation and commissioning, users can set upper and lower redundancy range circuit

impedance limits through the software. If the circuit impedance is higher than the upper limit, the

DCS reports an open circuit. If the circuit impedance is lower than the lower limit, the DCS reports

a short-circuit fault.

In order to ensure facticity of detection, detection module X-EOL can be connected to the end of

speaker lines to detect line fault.

Except to detect open circuit and short circuit of speaker line, it can also detect grounding fault, so

as to prevent damage and make it easy to maintain.

Monitoring Function

DCS built-in speaker is able to monitor the audio from all zones by manual operation.

Self-test Function

The DCS initiates the self-test function by manually pressing the “Self-test” button. In addition,

when the test is being performed, all indicator lights on the front panel of the DCS turn on, the fault

indication buzzer continuously buzzes.

The DCS performs uniform management of equipment such as the DA. During the self-test, all

equipments directly connected to the DCS perform the self-test function.

AVC Function

Every DCS has 8 monitor module input interfaces, and each channel can connect to at most 5

noise detector modules. Ambient noise can be collected so as to adjust output volume

automatically to offer a better

definition of audio.

Relevant parameter of noise detector and AVC can be configured by config software. Therefore a

group detector module can control one or more zones’ volume.

Volume Control

The user can directly adjust the speaker volume and monitor volume by pressing the buttons on

the panel of the DCS.

The volume can only be set by using the Automatic Volume Control (AVC) function. The DCS can

automatically detect and adjust the zone broadcasting volume according to the configuration

parameters.

When the system is under fire emergency broadcast mode, output volume is automatically

adjusted to preset value and manual adjustment is invalid. After entering normal public broadcast,

volume can be adjusted.

Manual control of every output channel can be realized by config software.

Power Amplifier Management

The DCS can automatically detect the operating states of the power amplifier. Switching between

the main and backup power amplifiers is achieved based on the number of power amplifiers

connected to the system and recognized by the system software, described below in detail by the

following:

• Configuring the number of power amplifiers

The software can be used specify the number of connected power amplifiers according to their

type. There is no amplifier for default setting.

• Switching between the main and standby power amplifiers

− Spare amplifier 1 can backup the main amplifier 1, 3, 5, 7. Spare amplifier 2 can backup

the main amplifier 2, 4, 6, 8.

− The switching relationship between main and spare amplifier can be set via config

software. Regularly set double N+1 mode (N≤4) or single N+1 mode (N≤8).

− When the DCS detects a main power amplifier signal fault, the DCS can automatically

switch to the standby power amplifier. The switching sequence is controlled according to

fault occurrence sequence.

Zone Control

There are 8 speaker line interfaces and each interface corresponds one zone. Enable or disenable

interfaces via config software.

Every power amplifier can correspond a fixed speaker line to avoid influence on other zones.

Voice Information Management

Build-in 1GB nonvolatile memory: 500MB (The maximum storage time is 96 minutes.) can store

audio files and 350MB (The maximum storage time is 67 minutes.) is used for recording

Sound files can be broadcasted separately, and can be prioritized in a file playlist.

One of the audio files can be configured as a pre-signal and be played before any regular

broadcasting operations.

Voice information broadcasting modes include the broadcast times priority levels and time delay

can be set in the definition of broadcast operations tasks.

Emergency Voice Alarm Function

The DCS can be linked with the fire alarm system through dry contacts, RS-485 cables, or through

the Ethernet network. When the system is configured to be linked with a fire alarm through the

configuration software, the fire alarm controller can send fire control signals to DCS through the

Ethernet network.

When the DCS receives fire broadcasting initiation signals, the DCS immediately interrupts all non-

emergency broadcasting functions and enters the emergency voice alarm state. The DCS can

automatically trigger alarms for areas with emergencies according to the initial fire alarm controller

signals. The system can also configure emergency broadcasting evacuation schemes through the

software and facilitate personnel evacuation through voice prompts.

The DCS supports manually or automatically starting fire emergency voice alarm. The priority level

of manual operation is higher than that of automatic broadcasting.

Manual operation includes selecting broadcasting zones and starting or stopping emergency

broadcasts.

Operators can perform emergency voice broadcasting through the PTT microphone (Optional).

The DCS can automatically record up to 30 minutes of paging content.

When the PTT microphone is used to perform emergency paging, fault prompt tones and

monitoring pauses and the system returns to its original working state within 3 seconds after the

completion of broadcasting.

Public Address Function

The DCS has the following common public address functions:

• Supports broadcasting multiple sound sources (external input sources, background music,

recorded voice sound files, and microphone sources) in multiple zones.

• Automatically broadcasts locally stored recorded voice sound files, network audio, and

background music.

• Automatic timed broadcasting and timer data are uploaded to the equipment after being set

through the software.

• Dry contacts trigger specified broadcasting, and events triggered by the dry contacts can be

configured through the software as well as automatically perform preconfigured task when

receiving dry contact signals.

• Can broadcast audio based on the signals sent from the dry contacts and serial data.

Paging Function

Selected DCS zones can receive paged broadcasts. A configured pre-signal can be played first to

alert users of an incoming paging session. Users can then communicate with each using the NPMs.

Log Management Function

When the device is operated or any faults happen, it will record the event logs automatically, the

users can view or query the logs from the configuration software.

Software Configuration Function

The following DCS features can be configured through the software:

• Number of zones (1-8)

• Loudspeaker circuit impedance detection

3 High Efficiency Power Amplifier (X-DA)

This chapter describes the X-DA (or hereinafter called the “DA”) characteristics, functions,

appearance and specifications.

In the X-618 system, the DA is used to amplify audio signal power and drive many broadcasting

loudspeakers.

There are four models:

• X-DA1500 (1 amplifier channel, 500W maximum power output )

• X-DA2250 (2 amplifier channels, 250W for each power output )

• X-DA4125 (4 amplifier channels, 125W for each power output )

• X-DA4060 (4 amplifier channels, 60W for each power output )

Product Characteristics

The DA has the following main characteristics:

• A CLASS-D power amplifier with high efficiency and energy conservation

• 3 power levels: 500W, 2X250W, 4X125W and 4X60W

• Contains 1/2/4 independent channels

• Each channel has 100V or 70V output

• Supports balanced or unbalanced audio input

• The DA is cooled through forced air-cooling

• Able to automatically limit output voltage

DA Functions and Features

This section describes the main functions of the DA.

• Main and Backup Power Supplies

• Power Supply Protection

• Overheating Protection

• Overload and Short-circuit Protection

• Fault Monitoring and Output

• Self-test Function

Main and Backup Power Supplies

The DA contains main and backup power supplies. The main power supply is generally utilized,

and the backup power supplies standby in case of a main power supply fault. In case of a main

power supply fault, the POWER indicator light on the DA front panel and AC FAULT indicator light

turn on. The DA outputs fault signals simultaneously and automatically switches to the backup

power supply for power. After the main power supply is returned to normal, it again supplies the

power.

Power Supply Protection

In the case of a short circuit or other DA fault, the main power supply input is disconnected

automatically.

Overheating Protection

When the temperature within the DA reaches 45 °C, the fans automatically start and operate at the

fastest speed. When the temperature is lower than 40 °C, the fans stop.

When the temperature within the DA exceeds 75°C, the DA automatically stops producing signals

and sends overheating protection signals to help identify the faulty circuit. When the temperature

has returned to normal (lower than 70°C), the DA again performs normally.

Overload and Short-circuit Protection

When the DA output experiences a short-circuit or is overloaded, the DA automatically disconnects

the output, and outputs overload or short-circuit protection signals until the faults are eliminated.

Fault Monitoring and Output

The DA can monitor the main and backup power supply for instances of undervoltage, overheating

protection states, and overload or short circuit protection states. When the DA monitors any fault,

the DA outputs an general fault signal until all faults are eliminated.

Self-test Function

Press the Self-test button on the front Panel of DCS to start the self-test function. The DCS then

sends self-test signals to the DA, causing all indicator lights to turn on and all DAs to temporarily

stop operating. Upon the completion of the self-test, all functions return to normal.

The DA Interface

This section describes the indicator lights and ports on the DA front and rear panels.
