Bosch EVAX System - High-rise Applications

Fire Alarm Systems Bosch EVAX System - High-rise ApplicationsBosch EVAX System - High-riseApplicationswww.boschsecurity.comThe Bosch EVAX System for high-rise applications is anetworked emergency relocation and paging systemwith integrated two‑way fireman’s telephone system. Itoperates with the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) in abuilding to provide automatic response to life safetyemergencies. While providing all necessary featuresfor an effective voice evacuation system, it can easilyconvey evacuation, stay-in-place, or other publicaddress announcements and automatic messages withmultiple channels of simultaneous audio.Configure your system to include Fire Fighter Phonesor Warden Stations as required, for fire fightercommunications to supplement 2‑way radios and foruse in areas of refuge assistance so trappedindividuals can communicate with fire command.Smoke control features include automatic or manualpositive or negative pressurization for compartments,floors, or stairwells. The simple to use interfaces allowfire department authorities to take over controls andcommunicate effectively.uMaster panel with capability for multiple distributedpanelsuOperates as stand‑alone or connected to an FACPuNetwork transmission over fiber optic or copper paircableuDigitized live voice and prerecorded messaginguZone paging controlSystem overviewThe maximum system configuration contains up to 256Distributed Panels providing up to 2028 monitor andcontrol points.

2 Bosch EVAX System - High-rise ApplicationsDistributed PanelsThe Distributed Panels communicate with the MasterPanel through the NetCom Loop. They typicallyprovide: Voice Evacuation Speaker Loops – dedicated dataand audio loops using a minimum of 18 AWG wirewith end-of-line resistors (EOLR). Fire Phone Loops – dedicated audio loop using aminimum of 20 AWG twisted pair wiring with anEOLR. Fan and Damper Loops – data loop using a minimum20 AWG twisted pair wiring on which up to 32modules can be attached. Each module provides twopoints (one control and one monitor) for a total of 64points on the circuit. Additionally, local Audio Amplifiers can be connectedto the Distributed Panels.The Bosch Distributed Panels additional providespecific accessories to support specific functions. TheHMB‑DP provides four audio circuits, the HMB‑DP/Pprovides four Fire Phone circuits, and the HMB‑DP‑42provides 16 audio circuits.Certifications and approvalsRegionCertificationUSAULUOXX: Control Unit Accessories, System(ANSI/UL 864)CSFMsee our website1Master Panel2NetComm LoopInstallation/configuration notes3Distributed PanelsCompatible Products4Voice Evacuation Speaker CircuitsMain Panel Accessories5Fire PhoneDesignatorDescriptionPart Number6Fan and Damper Control and MonitorMB‑SLCSwitch/LED CardF.01U.201.6697Local Audio Amplifiers (25 W, 50 W, 100 W or combinationsyielding 150 W or 200 W)MB‑SSCSwitch Scan CardF.01U.201.670MB‑MFAMaster Fire Phone AssemblyF.01U.201.671FunctionsMB‑XIExtended Input InterfaceF.01U.201.672Master PanelThe Master Panel provides the high‑speedcommunication loop (NetComm Loop), mastermicrophone control for live voice (PA) messages, dualchannel Digital Message Repeater (DMR) for up to1000 prerecorded messages, and a 16‑switch controlmodule.MB‑OIOutput Interface CardF.01U.201.673NetComm LoopThe NetComm Loop provides high‑speed RS‑485communications over twisted pair, Category 5 UTPcable.
