LVM Live Voice Module
The LVM provides a supervised high quality dynamic
microphone to give fire fighters a means of sending live
voice messages to specified audio zones. The LVM
mounts on the Inner Door of a CAB1, CAB2, CAB3 or
Remote Lobby Enclosure. It includes a microphone with a
push-to-talk switch and retractable coiled cord. The micro-
phone and push-to-talk switch are fully supervised.
The LVM also provides a green preannounce LED which
indicates the preannounce signal is active at the selected
zones and a green ready to page LED which indicates that
selected zones are ready to be paged. The preannounce
signal can be programmed as a tone or message and the
duration is adjustable from 0 to 10 seconds in 1 second
increments. A built-in speaker with volume control allows
the monitoring of the audio channels.
The front panel of the LVM contains six switches and six
pairs of LEDS. Each pair contains one bi-color (red/green)
and one yellow LED. These switches can be programmed
for manual voice functions as well as generic system
functions. When the switches are used as generic
switches all LEDS can be programmed for ON, OFF or
FLASHING.

DAC-NET Digital Audio Card
The DAC-NET provides the audio source for the FireFinder
XLS Voice Evacuation System. It also provides D-NET
network communication to and from the PMI and between
enclosures. It is capable of transmitting 8 digital channels
of audio via two pairs of wire. One DAC-NET is required in
each XLS Voice enclosure. A maximum of 32 DAC-NETs
are allowed on a single XLS FireFinder system. It can be
wired Class A (Style 7) (four pairs of wires) or Class B
(Style 4) (two pairs of wires). The DAC-NET Card plugs
into one slot in the CC-5 or CC-2 Card Cage. It has on-
board LEDs for system status and troubleshooting.
Indication of power, communication, internal operation,
ground fault, and trouble conditions are provided.
The DAC-NET Card contains an on-board microprocessor
that provides communication with switch modules, LED
modules, microphone, telephone zone cards, and zone
amplifiers across the Control Area Network CAN Bus. It
can supervise up to 99 CAN address modules.
The DAC-NET contains on board tones and prerecorded
EVAC and ALERT messages. In addition custom mes-
sages or tones can be downloaded to the DAC-NET using
the XLS Software Tool Zeus for a total of 5 minutes of
storage memory.
