Broadcasting

DCS supports a variable range of audio sources, such as audio fi les from external devices

(CD/DVD, cassette, FM tuner and etc.), remote paging announcement or broadcasting from

X NPMI, announcements from the PTT emergency microphone etc.

DCS can broadcast 4 audio message or internet audio simultaneously. Timer broadcast

setting can be confi gured via software to allow system to play specifi cprograms at a specific

time even when it is not supervised. With the software, user can also handle up to 255

priorities to meet complex public address requirements.

Zone Control

User can select audio sources and zones to broadcast by clicking directly on the control

buttons on the front panel.

DCS supports audio matrix, allowing any audio sources to be played in any zones.

Monitoring

DCS has a built-in loudspeaker and it can enable zone and audio source monitoring.

When the system has been extended via Ethernet, network remote supervision can be

performed.

Shortcut Control

A highlight of DCS is the one-click emergency mode switchover feature. A red emergency

mode button can be found on the front panel, which can activate the fi re alarm broadcast

mode in an emergency by a single click. In emergency mode, the recorded evacuation

announcement will be broadcasted and the zone alarm indicator lights will be turned on.

This function signifi cantly improves the evacuation effi ciency.

Users can preset the functions for the other buttons or their combo usage.The label

describing buttons’ functions can be replaced easily.

Safety and Robustness

DCS can detect errors on main power supply, backup power supply, amplifier circuit,

amplifier protection, software, communications, and loudspeaker line in runtime.

By locating the error’s occurrence, DCS provides valuable information for repairing

or replacing the malfunctioned devices.

DCS supports power supply and amplifier redundancy. Built-in fuse provides over-current

protection to the main power supply. When a shortcircuit error is detected in DCS, the

power supplied from main power will be cut off and switched to the backup one.

Same technology is also used in amplifier switchover. User can configure the amplifier

backup solution as 3 backup for 1 main, 2 backup for 1 main, 1 backup for 1 main or

2 backup for 2 main.

Audio Storage

DCS is built with a 1GB flash memory. Via X-618 Config software, users can upload audio

files for later playback or audio synthesis. Volume controllers can be connect- ed with

the DCS contact outputs to adjust the zones volume or force switching.

FEATURES

Input/ OutputDCS has 8 dry-contact outputs that canbe used to activate external devices.

It has 8 pairs of loudspeaker line output where each one allows multiple 100V

loudspeakers to be connected in parallel. A record output port is dedicated for

external recording.

DCS also has 8 dry-contact inputs that can be linked with a fire alarm control

center which supports broadcasting alarm tones and evac- uation announcement

when fire happens. On the rear panel, there are 4 network audio input and 4

auxiliary inputs, which provide con- nections to external audio sources such as

CD/DVD, cassette, FM tun- er etc. In addition, there are 4 audio inputs that are

capable to adjust volume automatically according to ambient noise (when HN-D32N

Noise Detector is installed). Users can set the phantom power and input gain of

each volume control input on the rear panel.

Connections Expansion

DCS can connect with devices and the network to extend zone connections via

4 10M/100M adaptable Ethernet interfaces.

DESCRIPTION

X-DCS2000/EN Digital Integrated System Manager (abbr. DCS) is the basic unit

of X-618 Public Address and Voice Alarm System. DCS integrates plentiful

functions such as zone expansion, multiple audio sources support, audio file

storage, net audio, broadcasting, zone control, monitoring, fault diagnosis etc.

The supplied X-SMART management software allows users to easily and efficiently

manage and control the system.

Shortcut Control

A highlight of DCS is the one-click emergency mode switchover feature. A red emergency

mode button can be found on the front panel, which can activate the fi re alarm broadcast

mode in an emergency by a single click. In emergency mode, the recorded evacuation
