Application Solutions (Safety and Security) Limited Unit 17, Cliffe Industrial Estate, Lewes, East Sussex BN8 6JL, U.K. Tel: +44(0)1273 405411 Fax: +44(0)1273 405415 www.asl-control.co.uk Application Solutions was founded in 1989 as an electronic design consultancy. It commenced manufacturing public address and voice alarm products around 15 years ago Contents in response to demand from London Underground and others. The genesis of the VAR routers that still make up the backbone of the ASL range today was in that demand for high EN54 Rack Mounted PAVA systems 4-10 reliability, highly qualified products to meet demanding standards. Routers Using that as a foundation, the company, which is still privately owned by the original Vipedia-12 directors, now produces the most innovative and powerful products in their field, whilst VAR range adhering to the original design drivers of reliability and adherence to standards. Class D amplifiers V400 range ASL is located in Lewes in Sussex, UK with it’s own factory, EMC test areas, validation X400 range laboratory and offices. ASL offers training and is always pleased to welcome our customers EN54 Battery backup, BPC range and their customers in turn to our facility. Wall Mount PAVA systems 11-12 ASL in 2013 Distributed Amplifier unit : DAU range Audio Control unit : ACU range This year ASL stands at a crossroads in it’s development. Many of the products that have formed the backbone of the ASL PA/VA range are now being joined by new IP converged, greener products that will take up the mantel at the forefront of industry. EN54-16 has now passed into law and ASL has worked with LPCB to ensure the IP-Enable Public Address 13 most rigorous compliance to the new standards. The arrival of the standards and the need to ensure that the product range meets industry’s demands for the next ten years means that ASL’s market approach is evolving. Monitored :IPAM range Until now, ASL has been carefully linked to the projects where equipment has been used, but is now looking to Unmonitored : IPA range supply through a wider range of partners who are integrators and installers – with ASL standing behind them as manufacturer. This scalable approach will expand ASL’s market shares in export and outside the transport industry Microphones 14-17 where is it so well known.

Two of the inputs and two outputs are available via IP and can be used to integrate the matrix into larger distributed systems connected over Ethernet. The router is compatible with audio in ASL’s PMC audio format from any of ASL’s IP enabled microphones (MPS-IP), iVENCS control systems, other VIPEDIA routers. Up to four VIPEDIA-12 routers can be locally linked within a rack to provide routing from any or all of their inputs to their outputs in a single logical 48 by 48 matrix. VIPEDIA-12 integrates seamlessly with ASL V400, X400, 100V Amplifier Mainframes, providing full system status monitoring and fault reporting. This includes the monitoring and control of up to 64 amplifier mainframes (V400 and X400) and their associated amplifier interface card/surveillance units. Audio inputs are connected via standard RJ45 connections to ASL MPS and EMS microphones (0dB + RS485). Two audio inputs support router hardware bypass ensuring continued all-call microphone operation even if the matrix DSP or CPU IP Networking has failed. DSP based 24 bit / 48kHz audio functions including dynamic input processing, individually adjustable digital output delay and The VIPEDIA-12 can be IP networked to provide a large audio matrix across a large site, or across a region or country. parametric equalisation. This functionality is available in the base product, with two channels of ASL PMC IP Audio I/O, suitable for use with a The unit includes 12 GPIO inputs (configurable as analogue or digital) 12 digital outputs and two relay outputs. GPIO can be single control centre, or in long line PA applications. expanded using ASL’s BMB01 if required. The multiple IP connectivity of the VIPEDIA-12 also enables these networks to have dual redundant connections. ANS ambient noise sensors connect directly via analogue contact inputs. Dynamic DANS Noise sensors interface via analogue audio inputs. The Vipedia-12 is equipped with a low power consumption mode to reduce its consumption to a minimum in case of standby mode on batteries. DVAs (Digital Voice Announcements) Up to 64 monitored DVAs are provided (max 10 minutes). A micro-SD card will provide virtually unlimited non-monitored message storage. Up to two messages can be played simultaneously. Those messages can be triggered from the MPS or EMS microphones, the Alarm input contacts or the internal scheduler. 4 5 MICROPHONES Each Vipedia input is supporting ASL MPS and EMS paging microphones (0db + RS485). Additionally, the MPS and EMS can be cascaded (up to 6 per Vipedia input). One tone, two tones, three tones chimes are available. Furthermore, custom chimes (WAV) can be downloaded onto the micro-SD card. The following functionalities will be available from the MPS/EMS microphones : Zone/Group live and DVA paging, Music PRODUCT PART NUMBERS selection routing and level control, EN54-16 status.

EN54 Rack Mounted PAVA systems: Routers VAR4, VAR8, VAR12, VAR20 VAR4, VAR8, VAR12, VAR20 Digital PAVA Routers family Application examples • EN 54-16 COMPLIANT • Fully DSP based • Built in monitored DVAs and Fire Alarm Interface • Monitored GPIO Alarm inputs • Integrated GPIO outputs • HARDWARE BYPASS MICROPHONE PORTS • Incorporate all commissioning and fault display functions The VAR4, VAR8, VAR12 and VAR20 are DSP-based Voice Alarm & Public Address routers, allowing routing of 4, 8, 12 or 20 audio inputs to any combination of 4, 8, 12 or 20 outputs. In addition to audio routing these units provide full system control and fault reporting functions for ASL’s rack mount Intellevac Voice Alarm systems. This includes the monitoring and control of up to 64 amplifier mainframes (V400 and X400) and their associated amplifier interface card/surveillance units. ASL Analogue Secured Network The VAR routers provide digital storage for pre-recorded DVA messages, audio outputs, and universal mic/line inputs. Each input can be used with an ASL multi-zone paging microphone (DMS, MPS), Fire Microphone (FMS, EMS), Station Announcement Point, or other source. All-call or zoneable Fire Microphones may be connected to inputs 1 & 2. These act as all- call failsafe override microphones in the event of processor failure, as required by BS5839 Pt 8. Fire alarm interfacing is built in, as are numerous routing and general control inputs. A serial control port enables interfacing to advanced DVA or site control systems, and gives the router the ability to be remotely monitored and configured. There are many other built in functions which are accessible via the front panel LCD display or the PC based Router Configuration Tool. The router has a front panel display
