VECP Series - Voice Evacuation Control Panels

The VECP Series control panels are designed for the upgrade of existing fire alarm systems to add voice evacuation capability without replacing the FACP, as well as for new system.

Distributed Module Placement

The AC-100 cabinetry facilitates the placement of ALM modules, ESU or Fiberoptic switches out at point of use. This eliminates long SLC or NAC wiring runs back to a central control panel.

Highly Survivable

Whether protecting a single floor or a an entire campus building, a single remote ALM module will continue to process local events in the event of a network communication failure. In addition, because of it’s isolation, the module will never go down for routine system maintenance in other sections of the system.

Harding’s VECP Series includes the VECP-25 and VECP-50 voice evacuation control panels and the DVS-RM remote microphones. The VECP-25 provides 25 Watts of output power. The VECP-50 provides 50 Watts of output power. Both VECP controls have a built-in digital message unit, UL listed power supply, and a supervised microphone. The digital message unit includes 2 voice messages and 4 field selectable alert tones. VECP control panels provide four Class A or Class B supervised speaker circuits which are configurable for either 25 or 70.7Vrms speaker loop voltage.

Power Supply
AC Power                           120 VAC, 60 Hz; 2A
DC Power                           20.4 – 26.4 VDC regulated
50 Watt load                      2.75 A max at 24 VDC
Standby                              0.21 A
Battery Saver                      80 mA

Alarm Activation Inputs
Primary                               1, 4-position, Class A, reverse polarity (NAC); activates fire alarm message and tone; 10 – 30 VDC, 2 mA max.
Secondary                           2-position, reverse polarity, end of NAC or last circuit device; 10 – 30 VDC, 5 mA max.
Auxiliary Message Inputs    2, normally-open (N.O.) dry contact; 5 mA max.; supervised; activate non-fire auxiliary message and tone

Gnd Fault Impedance          65 KOhm
AC/Power Supply Fault        Activation causes system to enter battery saver mode
Auxiliary Audio Input           Interface to telephone and paging systems; non-fire use only
Input Level                           1 Vrms max
Impedance                           10 KOhm

VECP Series control panels are extremely easy to add to an existing fire alarm system interfacing directly to any addressable or conventional FACP. Both models have two  alarm inputs, one triggered by reverse polarity (NAC output) and one by supervised dry contact trigger. Additional features include a supervised integral microphone plus the  option for remote supervised microphone; common alarm and fault relay outputs, an on-board switch for system test, and digital signal meters to display the power and  voltage output on the speaker circuits.
