INTELLIGENT EVACUATION SYSTEMS DXT 9000 DXT 7000 DXT 3000
In any place where people live and work danger situations may occur, which require an effective and efficient evacuation of interested areas, in conditions of maximum safety for all occupants and avoiding panic as much as possible. In these circumstances, time is precious and often each second saved means saving human life. For this reason the use of Intelligent Evacuation Systems, designed to communicate clear and intelligible instructions, is crucial. Alarms transmitted using encoded tones, usually generated by sirens, are a suitable solution where occupants are periodically trained to behave in a specific way depending on the specific alarm. Especially in crowded places, where occupants are occasional or even strangers, and need to be reassured and guided along safe routes, it is more effective to use paging microphone and pre-recorded messages, performed in an intelligible way and containing specific instructions on how to behave in situations of alarm or warning (e.g. how to use escape routes). Since 2011 it is in force the normative UNI ISO 7240-19, which introduces new rules and procedures for the design, installation and maintenance of voice evacuation systems, also known as Sound Systems for Emergency Purposes (SSEP), and the use of EN 54 compliant components. The UNI ISO 7240-19 contains all information necessary for designers, installers, maintainers and conductors. Electronics must include devices and strategies for self-diagnosis and protection, and must be certified by accredited notified bodies according to EN 54-16, as well as the speakers must be in accordance with EN 54-24.
APPLICATIONS Buildings which are more critic in terms of occupants’ safety (since they are the most critical to be alerted and evacuated) are those with the highest concentration of people, the risk is high and the area to evacuate particularly extended. Hospitals, schools, shopping centres, sales areas, places of entertainment (cinemas, theatres, clubs, etc.), densely populated buildings (offices buildings), plants (production sites, warehouses, etc.), powerhouses, chemical industries, railway stations, subways and airports are the most common structures.
SYSTEM’S AVAILABILITY An intelligent evacuation system EN54 compliant must be available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. In case of interruption of the primary power supply, it must be powered by a secondary source and its autonomy must be guarantee at least for 24 hours in a quiescent condition and for 30 minutes in a working condition. These systems, on which depend safety at all times, must be maintained in perfect working conditions through periodic inspections. Only exception to this, for which it is permitted unavailability, is the one in which the central management is directly affected by the event. Intelligent evacuation systems must also be connected to the fire detection system, so that it can react in a programmed way without supervisory staff and communicate the fire alarm system its status.
DXT 9000 SMALL TO LARGE APPLICATIONS
DXT 9000 is the logical evolution to the RCF DXT Active Matrix solution range. To design the system, RCF has developed a digital multi-platform where PA-EVAC systems join PRO-INSTALL systems in a completely scalable and versatile range of configurations and solutions. The system offers a level of reliability that goes beyond rules requirements. The architecture is extremely flexible, based on digital network with Ethernet connection to the outside world through expandable protocol DANTE; it allows centralized or distributed configurations, and each fault is diagnosed and shown in every detail to ensure simplicity, quick check operations and maintenance in order to ensure a fully efficient evacuation.
SELECTIVE CALL PAGING MICROPHONES
Equipped with a gooseneck microphone, can be directly connected to the MU 9186 or MX 9500 central units.
CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
The DXT 9000 configuration software allows to configure, monitor and equalize the system and supervise in real-time EVENTS, FAULTS and FAILURES.
DXT 9000 meets all restrictive requirements imposed by EN 54-16, adding advanced technological solutions, such as access to the system through fall-back system; the powerful configuration diagnostics software is both comprehensive yet easy to use. Moreover, interconnection with third-parties systems is available to facilitate the integration with alarm systems and building automation. DXT 9000 is easy to install thanks to a few connections made with J-type fire-resistant cables and screw terminals connectors, easy to configure, and economic in terms of fault-monitoring management and electric consumption, thanks to D+ technology, unique of RCF.

DXT 7000 MEDIUM SIZE APPLICATIONS
DXT 7000 is a sound system conceived to completely control and manage background music and paging, even for emergency and evacuation purposes. The system has been designed to fulfil all requirements of EN 54-16 and EN 60849 standard, and it is really scalable, suitable for a wide range of applications: in fact p to 32 MU 7100 EN can be linked together in order to get an extended system, including many paging stations and up to 256 loudspeaker lines / paging zones. The main unit can play all necessary evacuation and alarm messages previously stored into its built-in digital memory.
SPARE AMPLIFIER CHANGE OVER BOARD
The line transformer interface override voltage output is used to activate the relay in case of the main amplifier is faulty.
PATH MONITORING
The whole signal path from fireman’s microphone to loudspeaker lines is completely and automatically monitored against faults.
The 8 internal digital amplifiers are highly reliable and their efficiency is excellent (> 90%): that means less heat dissipation and smaller capacity required for unbreakable power supply sources (UPS) used in security applications. A digital Matrix 7x8 is configurable for several applications with routing to any output channel, supported by an efficient Digital Signal Processor (DSP) providing Band Parametric EQ, Filters, Delay circuit for line arrays, Compressor / Limiter and Level controls. A software utility is available for saving unit parameters to PC, updating unit firmware, virtual control activation and status indication.
