Clause / Requirement Compliance Signature
4 General requirements
4.1 General Praesideo is compliant.
4.1.1 If an optional function with requirements is
included in the VACIE, then all the corresponding
requirements shall be met (see Annex B).
The following optional functions, with requirements, are included
in Praesideo from version 3.3 upwards:
• Audible warning (7.3)
• Phased evacuation (7.5)
• Manual silencing of the voice alarm condition (7.6.2)
• Manual reset of the voice alarm condition (7.7.2)
• Output to fire alarm devices (7.8)
• Voice alarm condition output (7.9)
• Indication of faults related to the transmission path to the
CIE (8.3)
• Indication of fault related to voice alarm zones (8.4)
• Voice alarm manual control (10)
• Interface to external control device(s) (11)
• Emergency microphone(s) (12)
• Redundant power amplifiers (13.14)
The following optional functions with requirements are not
included in Praesideo:
• Delay(s) to entering the voice alarm condition (7.4)
• Disabled condition (9)
4.1.2 If functions other than those specified in this
European Standard are provided, they shall not
jeopardize compliance with any requirements of this
European Standard
Praesideo power amplifiers and basic amplifiers shall not be
configured to enter the power save mode when mains power
fails. Although this would save battery power, the amplifier
supervision and line/loudspeaker supervision is not active in this
mode, which is a necessity for systems operating in accordance
with EN54-16.
The Praesideo PC call station shall not be used as an emergency
call station in systems operating in accordance to EN54-16. A
PC does not comply with the requirements as set forward by this
standard.
4.2 Combined VACIE and CIE
When the VACIE and CIE are combined they may
share common indications, manual controls and
outputs (see Annex F). In this case, the following shall
apply:
a single fault in the CIE shall not adversely affect
the mandatory functions of the VACIE;
b indication(s) and manual control(s) of the voice
alarm condition shall be clearly identifiable, with
the exception of the optional audible warning.
This requirement is not applicable. In Praesideo, the Voice Alarm
Control and Indicating Equipment (VACIE) is not combined with
a fire alarm Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE).
4.3 Power supply Praesideo is compliant.
Power supply equipment, external or included in the
VACIE, shall comply with the requirements of EN 54-4.
The installer must use power supplies and battery charging
equipment in accordance with EN54-4, e.g. the Bosch
PRS-48CH12, with separate wiring for mains (230Vac) and
battery backup (48Vdc) from the power supply to the Praesideo
system.
The power supply equipment must be installed in a separate
cabinet, not shared with the Praesideo system, unless the
combination of the actual power supply equipment and
Praesideo system elements in the same cabinet has been
certified.
The content of the EN54-16 certification is subject to change.
The most recent version of this certificate can be found on
www.boschsecurity.com.
The network controller and all amplifiers are supplied with a
mains supply and DC backup supply (48V) input. Switch over
between the both takes place automatically, without any
interruption or status change other than the power supply related
indications.
The installer must ensure that the output voltages of the power
supply equipment do not exceed the specifications of the mains
and battery inputs of the connected Praesideo equipment.
NOTE - The power supply may be shared with that of
the fire detection and fire alarm system.
The power supply may be shared with that of a fire detection
system, but when operated with a battery a new capacity
calculation is required.
