The complete architecture of PA8500-VES system is based on the controller CR8506-V, the management and diagnostics unit. It is highly recommended for big as well as small installations, where high performance of security, flexibility and easiness are required. CAT-5e SF/UTP network assures an easy connection of the several units, controllers, routers, digital amplif ers and emergency and/or paging call stations. This solution performs in efficient and economic installation, allowing the usage of both local and centralized equipment.

Each CR8506-V can manage 6 control lines to which the following units can be directly connected:

• PMD range of digital amplifiers, equipped with a diagnostics card (up to 16 per line);

• Router RT8506-V (1 per line) for up to 6 outputs zones with A & B speaker lines (100V);

• PA8506-V Integrated Voice Evacuation Systems with 6 zones.

• Maximum number of zones in the whole system: 216.

It is possible to connect up to a maximum of 6 CR8506-V controllers with one another.
