General

The FireVoice-25/50 Zone System with FireFighters Telephone (NFV-25/50ZST) is a state-of-the-art Emergency Voice Evacuation panel (EVAC panel) capable of splitting 25 or 50 watts of audio power and up to eight speaker circuits (i.e., zones). The NFV-25/50ZST includes an NFV-FFT Fire Fighter Telephone Module with keypad which provides indications of phone activation, remote page activation, remote microphone activation and corresponding trouble conditions. Additionally, up to 24 telephone circuits can be annunciated at the NFVFFT by connecting addressable monitor modules to the optional N-FPJ or N-RPJ Remote Phone Jacks. The NFV-25/ 50ZST provides the ability to record five field- programmable messages (up to 60 seconds total message duration) with an integral commercial-grade emergency communications microphone or from an external audio source. Significant technolog- ical enhancements set the NFV-25/50ZST apart from other EVAC panels; these include full supervision in both active alarm and standby conditions, supervision of amplifier outputs, field wiring, message generator, all tone generators, and the microphone. The integral power supply is capable of charging up to 18 AH batteries, which can be housed in the NFV-25/ 50ZST cabinet.

The NFV-25/50ZST is suitable for use as an adjunct (slave or stand-alone) to most UL-Listed Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs). An optional 25 watt, 25 VRMS audio amplifier is available for system expansion to 50 watts or as a secondary amplifier in jurisdictions requiring such backup. A 70.7 VRMS converter is also available for independently converting amplifiers to meet retrofit needs.
The Zone Splitter Module (ACC-ZSM) divides the output of the Audio Amplifier Module(s) (ACC-AAM25) into up to eight speaker circuits (i.e., zones). The Zone Page Module with Keypad (NFV-ZPMK) provides full manual control of the speaker circuits, status indication of each of the speaker circuits, and automatic control by the FACP via the ACS serial link connection.
A host of field-programming options, including the capability of five custom messages (fire, tornado, evacuation, hazmat, nonfire, multi-language, etc.) make the NFV-25/50ZST the most versatile voice evacuation system available. Some Suitable Applications:
