Information About EVS-50W
The EVS-50W is an intelligent amplifier by Silent Knight that provides 50 watts of supervised audio power for emergency voice systems. It integrates directly with the 5820XL-EVS platform via SBUS and VBUS connections, supporting four onboard Class A or B speaker circuits that can be expanded to eight with the EVS-CE4. With selectable output of 25V or 70.7V, daily supervision, and compatibility for mounting up to 6000 feet from the main panel, the EVS-50W is engineered for system flexibility. It includes its own power supply and backup battery support, making it a reliable component in fire alarm and emergency communication systems.
Key Features:
- Supervised 50W audio output: The EVS-50W delivers 50 watts of supervised audio power that can be configured for either 25 Vrms or 70.7 Vrms, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of notification appliances and voice evacuation needs.
- Expandable speaker circuits: The unit includes four programmable Class A or Class B speaker circuits out of the box and can be expanded to eight circuits with the optional EVS-CE4 expander, providing flexibility for larger installations.
- Seamless 5820XL-EVS integration: Designed specifically for use with the Silent Knight 5820XL-EVS control panel, the amplifier connects via a six-wire harness—two wires for the Voice Bus (VBUS) and four for the SBUS—for reliable communication.
- Long-distance installation capability: The EVS-50W can be mounted up to 6000 feet away from the main 5820XL-EVS panel, allowing distributed placement throughout a facility for optimized coverage.
- Multiple unit support: The system allows up to four EVS-50W amplifiers per installation, each with a unique SBUS address, expanding system voice capacity for larger buildings.
- Comprehensive supervision: All audio circuits, power supplies, and communication links are fully supervised to detect faults quickly and maintain compliance with fire safety standards.
- Independent power system: The amplifier includes its own power supply and battery charging system, supporting 7–35 Ah batteries (18 Ah maximum within the cabinet) for reliable backup during power outages.
- Compliance with standards: Certified to UL 864, UL 2572, and NFPA 72, the EVS-50W meets rigorous safety and performance requirements for emergency communication systems.
- Durable construction: Housed in a robust red enclosure with overall dimensions of 16 × 26.25 × 4.1 inches, it is built for reliability and straightforward installation in commercial environments.
The EVS-50W delivers the reliability and precision required for expanding and enhancing emergency voice communication within Silent Knight fire alarm systems.
