Speakers shall be of high efficiency yielding maximum output at minimum power across
200 12000 Hz frequency ranges. Speakers shall have a line-matching transformer for
direct connection to amplifiers with multiple taps. Speakers shall be mounted in a rugged
metal housing with vandal resistant grille if specified.
Speakers shall be interconnected in the zone configuration.
1.3.2 Zone Selection Panel
The user interface to the entire public address system shall be the Zone Selection Panel. It
shall be able to address 20 zones.
The Panel shall have one Microphone for announcements. The selection of announcement
is done through the Panel. The announcement/Fire tone can be made zone wise. The
Control Panel shall have individual zone selection switches as well as ALL CALL switch.
The Zone selection panel shall include a tone generator that shall serve the purpose of
generating a unique fire tone in case of fire.

1.4

P A System Wiring
PA system wiring shall be done with 2 X 0.75sq.mm cable in 19mm dia PVC conduit
including termination complete as required.
The speakers in each zone are connected in parallel and are connected to the respective
output. The cables from each zone are separately routed and terminated in the Panel.

1.5

Testing and commissioning

Entire PA system shall be tested to establish the following.
a)

Functionality of the PA system

b)

Combined systems shall be tested for the overriding feature for prioritizing fire
alarm and life safety requirements.

c)

Acceptable audibility of the public address in all spaces and record sound pressure
levels of the Public address viz the ambient noise levels.
