Frequently Asked Questions

A public address (PA) system is mainly used for announcements and background music, while a voice alarm (VA) system is designed for emergency evacuation and safety communication. Systems that combine both are called PA/VA systems.

Requirements depend on the type of building, its size, its occupancy and national fire regulations. Voice alarm is commonly required in public buildings such as airports, shopping centers, hospitals, schools and hotels. Your fire safety consultant or local authority can confirm what applies to your project.

Yes. EN 54 systems must remain operational on backup batteries if the mains supply fails. The required autonomy depends on national regulations, and the system must be sized accordingly.

It depends on the size and complexity of your project:
  • PRIMA VA: self-amplified compact system with built-in amplifiers
  • IDA8: network PA/VA system for large installations
  • BOUTIQUE: compact self-amplified PA/VA system, available in rackable and wall-mount versions

EN 54 is the European standard series for fire detection and fire alarm systems. For voice alarm, it defines requirements for control equipment (EN 54-16), loudspeakers (EN 54-24) and power supplies (EN 54-4). Using certified equipment helps demonstrate that the system will work reliably in an emergency.

A typical system includes:
  • Control matrix (central unit)
  • Amplifiers
  • Paging consoles
  • Loudspeakers
  • Battery chargers and backup power
  • Monitoring and fault supervision

Yes. A PA/VA system handles everyday paging and background music, and automatically gives priority to emergency messages when an alarm is triggered.

Yes. Networked systems can be extended to several zones and buildings, with centralized monitoring and control, which suits airports, campuses and large commercial sites.
