Plena Voice Alarm System Application Note: Swimming pools

ff EN 54-16, ISO 7240-16 and EN 60849 certified ff For small- to medium-sized applications with up to 60 zones ff Built-in intelligent message manager ff Plug-and-play installation with PC configurability ff Interconnects via CAT5 cable

Introduction The Plena Voice Alarm System is the ideal sound management solution for swimming pools. A voice alarm system for a swimming pool requires voice alarm functionality as well as public address functionality for regular announcements and (optional) background music (BGM). To ensure that all visitors in the relatively noisy pool area hear emergency messages, the power output for that zone is relatively high. Other areas, such as the changing rooms and offices, have lower power requirements. Swimming pools and other indoor sports and recreational facilities are typical examples of smaller applications with few zones. The main priorities are excellent speech intelligibility and compliance with EN 54, ISO 7240 and EN 60849 standards, although music in different areas is optional. All necessary requirements and more are met by the Plena system.

Summary of requirements ff Typically up to 6 zones ff Good speech intelligibility is the main priority ff High power requirement in the noisy pool area ff Firemans panel by fire exit ff Call station in office/reception ff  Additional public address functions for announcements ff Background music (BGM)

Solution for a 6-zone system The Plena Voice Alarm System Controller handles routing to up to 6 zones, so no additional routers are required. The office/reception is equipped with a call station plus keypad for individually addressing zones, while a firemans panel (with overall priority) is built in by the emergency exit. The Plena Voice Alarm System is a two-channel system, so BGM can still be provided in zones not receiving a call. The Plena Voice Alarm System is designed for plug-and-play installation, and is easily configured using DIP switches or software for more advanced configuration. Once configured, the PC is disconnected. System interconnections are made using standard RJ45 connectors and CAT5 cabling. Up to 255 spoken evacuation messages can be stored. Messages can also be merged to allow more flexible use of pre-recorded messages.

System description The system controller has a built-in 240 W power amplifier, making it possible to drive up to 40 loudspeakers with a power handling capacity of 6 W each. The pool area requires high-power music horn loudspeakers qualified for use in a high humidity atmosphere. The snack bar uses cabinet loudspeakers for music reproduction. The zones are defined as indicated in the table. An additional Plena Power Amplifier is used for two-channel operation and as a spare amplifier.

Future-proof upgrade More zones and extra power per zone can be added by incorporating additional routers (up to 60 zones) and Plena Power Amplifiers (up to 1000 W per 6 zones). Certified solutions For the installation to be fully EVAC-certified, loudspeakers and cabling must also conform to the relevant standards. Bosch can provide training and certification for partner installers details available on request.
