PA system for parking

The underground parking lot and floors require the installation of a sound system which is capable to broadcast the emergency evacuation in accordance with the EN54-16 standard. The system must perform the audio distribution including messages/music playing and the emergency evacuation on the all parking spaces, stairs and gate access. The parking lots are often subject to the acts of vandalism therefore the speakers are anti-vandal made.

Requirements

- Messages playing and clear PA evacuation

- Background music

- Scheduler and events (informative messages and commercial broadcasting)

- Coverage of 1 to 8 areas, either 2 to 16 speaker lines (A/B)

- Paging calls by area and/or general call

- 2 music sources (CD/tuner/satellite radio/audio of the commercial gallery etc)

- Installation of anti-vandal speakers

- Communication with the commercial gallery to which is attached the parking lot

Advantages

- Compact and economic solution for small to medium sized installations

- Modular system according to EN54 standard
