  1. EN 54-16 Compliant Installation of Voice Alarm Systems

  2. When does EN54-16 Apply? • Construction Products Directive CPD CPD: EN54 is mandatory for fire detection and alarm systems in all EU member states • 2008: issue of two new parts of EN54 • Part 16: voice alarm systems • End of co-existence period*: March 2011 • Part 24: loudspeakers for voice alarm systems • End of co-existence period*: April 2011 * End of co-existence period: conflicting national standards must be withdrawn

  3. When does EN54-16 Apply? • System depending • EN 54-16 must be applied • When the voice alarm system is controlled by the fire detection system • Application not necessary • When the voice alarm system is a stand-alone system (triggered manually) or • controlled by others that fire detection systems • When must voice alarm be applied? • National requirements

  4. Approved VA Systems • Certification • The voice alarm system must be certified on EN54-16 by a notified body • Notified bodies can be found on the EU Web sites • Certificate of the notified body contains • Certificate number • Approved system components • Approved options

  5. Approved VA Systems • Indication of Approval • Certificate number • at least on one main part of the VA system • in the accompanied documents • Applicable options • in the accompanied documents

  6. EN 54-16 Compliant Design Access Levels Mandatory Function Mandatory Indications

  7. Access Levels • Access Level 1 • Public areas or • Areas with unrestricted access for persons having a general responsibility for safety supervision • E.g. in a technical room • Manual controls shall be accessible without special procedures • E.g. not by opening a door

  8. Access Levels • Access Level 2 • Access restricted by special procedures • Access by • mechanical key (locked technical room) • code of at least 3 sequential operations • access cards • Access for Persons • with specific responsibility for safety and • Authorised and trained on operating

  9. Mandatory Indications • Must be in Access Level 1 always • VA condition, especially EMERGENCY • Indication on a remote microphone by programmed fault receipt (acknowledge) button (SX: on SM) • General Fault • Indication on a remote microphone by programmed fault receipt (acknowledge) button (SX: on SM) • System Fault • Indication on a remote microphone by programmed fault receipt (acknowledge) button (SX: on SM)

  10. Mandatory Indications • Must be in Access Level 1 always • Fuse Rupture • Indication on a remote microphone by programmed fault receipt (acknowledge) button for all amps • Fault in Signal Path between System components • Only for SX-2000: indication by programmed fault receipt (acknowledge) button • Earth Leakage • For outgoing wires (e.g. speaker lines, microphones) • Only necessary if not implemented in other fault

  11. Mandatory Functions • Must be in Access Level 1 always • Lamp Test (Button) • To test the mandatory indications • Fault Acknowledge (Button) • In TOA VA systems always combined with fault indications

  12. Options • Mandatory Indications • Faults in VA Zones • One fault indicator per VA zone • Fault in the connection to the fire detection system • A separate indicator must be provided
