PVX-ZM

Accessory Cards

Stock Number: 3510014
Supervised Zone Module
Current draw (24VDC input): 51mA (Standby), 130mA (All Call)
4 Class B or 2 Class A speaker circuits (Field selectable)
25/70 Vrms Field selectable
Compatible with PVX-SL8 for zone selection
Circuits rated up to 50W @ 70V and 40W @ 25V
Circuits rated up to 50W @ 70V and 40W @ 25V

The Potter PVX-ZM Supervised Zone Module is used in conjunction with the PVX Series Voice Evacuation Panels to provide separately supervised and protected circuits from a single speaker output. The EVX-ZM is default configured for 4 Class B circuits, but may be converted to 2 Class A with the flip of a switch. The PVX-ZM can beganged together to provide a maximum of 64 Class B circuits.

The PVX-ZM in standard operating mode is strictly All Call. On any page, alarm, or message function all circuits activate. If separate zoning is required, the PVX-ZM has zone selection inputs which may be activated by a N.O. dry contact. Additionally, the PVX-SL8(LED Switch Card) may be employed to provide both Zone and Message selection by switch

Each speaker circuit employs smart power metering to insure short circuit conditions are isolated from the other circuits. Each circuit is rated 50W @ 70V and 40W @ 25V.

PVX-SL8

Accessory Cards

Stock Number: 3510015
LED Switch Module
Current draw (On primary module battery back-up): 3m A (Standby), 5.16m A ( All Call).
8 Momentary switches
8 Tri-color L ED’s (green/red/amber)
Programmable for multiple functions

The Potter PVX-SL8 L ED Switch Module provides switch selectionfor message activation, paging, and control functions.

When used in conjunction with the PVX-ZM zone module, the SL8 can be programmed for page zone control. L EDs for switches assigned to page zones will indicate Red for page and flashing Red for alarm. The L ED will indicate Amber if the associated speaker circuit is in a fault condition.

Switches can be programmed to control corresponding points on the PVX-OL8. Switch LEDs will indicate steady Red on activation.

PVX-IL8

Stock Number: 3510016
LED Input Module
Current draw (On primary module battery back-up): 3m A (Standby): 5.2m A ( All Call)
8 Input points
8 Red L ED’s
Programmable for multiple functions

Programmable for multiple functions The Potter PVX-IL8 L ED Input Module can be used for page zone control, message selection, and control functions. The inputs monitor an external N.O dry contact. PVX-IL8’s are typically used for message/zone activation from an outside system such as Severe Weather Warnings. They can also be used to activate corresponding outputs on the PVX- OL8. On activation, the corresponding L ED will indicate red.

PVX-OL8

Accessory Cards

Stock Number: 3510017
LED Output Module
Current draw (On primary module battery back-up): 3m A (Standby), 28m A ( All Call)
8 Input points8 Red L ED’s
N.O. Dry contacts rated at 30mA @ 0-24VDC

The PVX-OL8 LED Output Module provides solid state N.O. dry contacts. It can also be separately tied to a voltage (0-24VDC), with that voltage used as a drive point or trigger. Outputs 1-4 and 5-8 may use different voltage references if desired. The PVX-OL8 outputs may be programmed to follow message activation, page zones, or specific functions like PTT, alarm, or control.
