2.8. LOUDSPEAKERS
A PA/GA system like the MPA 1600 will utilize a wide variety of loudspeakers in the distribution
network. Subjects like environment, topology and sound pressure requirement will determine what
kind of loudspeaker type and size should be used in the specific areas.
To comply with the environment requirement all loudspeakers used in a PA/GA system must be
approved according to relevant parts of IEC60945 or similar.
The topology and sound pressure requirement will be decisive for the amount of loudspeakers in the
different areas, the loudspeaker type, their power rating and tapping
See document 03118-000-IS for detailed loudspeaker selection information.

4. PERFORMANCE
4.1. GENERAL ALARM
The General Alarm tone in the MPA 1600 system consists of seven short followed by one long tone
burst. Each short tone has approximately 1 sec. duration, each pause between tones approximately 1
sec. and the long tone has 7 sec. duration. The alarm signal sequence is continuously repeated. The
alarm tone is basically generated of a 1000 Hz sinusoidal tone.
The General alarm tone can be adjusted by means of loading different configuration data. Frequencies
between 200 and 2500 Hz can be selected along with triangular or sinusoidal curve form.
The configuration changes require a special administrative tool and are unavailable during normal
operation.
4.2. FEEDBACK COUNTERMEASURES

In the MPA 1600 system there are three different countermeasures available in order to avoid audible
feedback and disturbance during announcements.
The MPA 1601 and 1604, Control Units are equipped with either a gooseneck or handheld
microphone with close-talk characteristics with excellent background noise suppression capability.
The MPA 1601 and 1604, Control Units, are equipped with relays for disconnecting loudspeakers
in the close proximity when activated
Each audio interface can be programmed to be of a recording type. The message is temporarily
recorded and is automatically played back when the announcement is terminated.
5. REDUNDANCY
In a PA/GA system as the MPA 1600 the design and the installation must be carried out in a way that
the damage of one single failure shall be minimised as far as possible.
In the MPA 1600 such redundancy is achieved by the following measures:
5.1. CENTRAL EQUIPMENT
- All centralized equipment (MPA 1600, Amplifiers etc) is duplicated and physically separated
in different fire zones System A and B. Ref document. 03118-100-BD and 03118-100-EC.
- The A and B central equipment are connected together with a synchronisation link to
coordinate alarm tone generation and other timing-related functionality. If this synchronisation
link is somehow broken or damaged the systems will work individually.
- The MPA 1601 and 1604, Control Units and MPA 1603, Alarm Panel, are equipped with a
duplicated interface for connection to both systems (A and B). The connection status is
displayed in the System A / B led indicator of the MPA 1601 and 1604.
5.2. LOUDSPEAKER DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

- The loudspeaker distribution network is duplicated and routed separately in different cable
ducts and as physically separated as possible.
- All public areas shall be covered equally from both loudspeaker distribution network
- All cabins shall be supplied with PA/GA loudspeakers. Minimum requirement is that
neighbouring cabins shall be supplied from different loudspeaker distribution network.

Doc.No.: 03118-000-DE
5.3. ALARM PANEL
In order to have a required redundancy and availability to the General alarm the minimum amount of
MPA 1603 Alarm Panels are two. One shall always be placed on the Navigation Bridge. At least one
more shall be placed in another strategic place as an alternative position
5.4. CONTROL UNIT

6.1. GENERAL ALARM INTERFACE TO SHIPS WHISTLE / SIREN

In order to use the ships whistle as a part of the General Alarm system the MPA 1600 is providing a
dry closing contact (NO) output that generates a control output signal synchronised with the GA tone
sequence. Ref. document 03118-025-EC.
6.2. MUTE OF EXTERNAL GENERAL ALARM DURING EMERGENCY PA

During an active Emergency PA the MPA 1600 outputs a dry closing contact (NO) output as a mute
signal for an alternative external GA system. This signal is activated together with the internal GA
mute functionality.
Ref. documents: Ref. documents 03118-025-EC and 03118-000-OP, Section 2 (OPERATING
DESCRIPTION) / Chapter 2.1 (Emergency Paging)
6.3. GENERAL ALARM WARNING (FLASHING) LIGHT

An active General Alarm in the MPA 1600 system is also indicated with a dry closing contact (NO)
output for activation of external GA warning lights. This is mandatory in high noise environments.
Ref. document 03118-025-EC.
6.4. ENTERTAINMENT MUTE, PA/GA

In case the MPA 1600 system has integrated entertainment functionality or this is an external system
this is of very low priority and shall be muted during GA and Emergency PA. The internal MPA 1600
mute functionality is working together with a dry closing contact (NO) output for external use.
Ref. documents:
- 03118-000-OP, Section 2 (OPERATING DESCRIPTION) / Chapter 2.1 (Emergency Paging)

INTRODUCTION
The MPA 1600 system is a marine and offshore Public Address and General Alarm system. It meets
the requirements for PA/GA, and entertainment, distribution onboard ships and mobile offshore units.
The system conforms to SOLAS, IMO and IEC regulations. Based on modular design and flexible
configuration, it covers a wide range of installation complexities. Ranging from, small single loop
systems, to large duplicated systems.
1.1
PA CONFIGURATION, CARGO VESSELS
In MPA 1600 system onboard cargo vessels and where GA is not integrated into the PA system there,
is no requirement for a duplicated system. All loudspeaker loops however shall be arranged as closed
loops.
1.2
PA CONFIGURATION, PASSENGER VESSELS
In MPA 1600 system onboard passenger vessels, the requirement is a duplicated system in order to
minimize the effect of one single failure. The centralised duplicated equipment (operation unit and
amplifiers) must be separated and located in different fire zones. The loudspeaker loops from each
system is to be segregated throughout the ship.
All loudspeaker loops shall be arranged as closed loops.
1.3
PA/GA CONFIGURATION, ALL VESSELS
In MPA 1600 system onboard cargo vessels and where GA is integrated into the PA system as a
combined PA/GA system the requirement for duplication is the same as for Pa systems onboard
passenger vessels as described above. (Ch. 1.2)
1.4
TYPE NUMBER / SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION
In order to recognise and identify different version of an MPA1600 system there is an identification
system marked on all cabinets.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
2.1
PLANNING
The installation should be planned in details before commencing. Sound pressure levels and amount of
loudspeakers must be decided. The cables should be listed in a cable plan, with number of pairs etc.
The location of each unit in the communication system should be planned to obtain maximum
performance and user availability.
2.1.1 General
The major requirement of a GA / PA system is sufficient coverage and sound pressure level (SPL) for
alarms and PA messages to be heard throughout the installation.
The minimum requirement during normal operating conditions for GA is 80dBA and at least 10dBA
above the ambient noise level in both interior and exterior spaces. In the cabins sleeping positions and
bathroom the minimum requirement is 75dBA and at least 10dBA above the ambient noise level.
Page 3 of 12
Handbook page
20/82
Doc.No.: 03118-000-IS
For PA (Emergency PA) the minimum figures are 75dBA and at least 20 dBA above the speech
interference level for interior spaces. For exterior spaces the minimum requirement is 80 dBA and at
least 15 dBA above the speech interference level.
To ensure this, the MPA 1600 system makes use of the industrial standardized 100 V line distribution
system. This is a distribution system that is based on a fixed line level (100V) and where the
loudspeaker output power is determined by means of loudspeaker type and power tapping. Hence, each
loudspeaker meeting this line specification is equipped with an audio transformer with several tapping
possibilities.
In a system like this where the amount of loudspeakers, loudspeaker types (power rating) and tapping
decides the coverage and sound pressure.
To comply with the environment requirement all loudspeakers used in a PA / GA system must be
approved according to relevant parts of IEC60945 or similar.

2.1.2 Loudspeaker selection / SPL
The calculation of sound pressure level (SPL) is also dependant of distance from the loudspeaker:
The calculation is according to the formula:
SPL =A+(10*LOG10(B))-(20*LOG10(C))
where:
SPL : Sound Pressure Level figure at a specific point [dBA]
A
: Loudspeaker specific data - SPL figure at 1W / 1m (according to loudspeaker data sheet)
dBA]
B
: Loudspeaker specific data Output power ((tapping according to loudspeaker data sheet)
[W]
C
: Distance from the loudspeaker to the measurement point [m]
An example:
The mounted loudspeaker is a DNH HP15T, (108 dBA at 1W/1m. The distance to the loudspeaker is
10m and the tapping of the loudspeaker is 4W.
The SPL in that point is calculated to:
SPL =108(dBA) + (10*LOG10(4(W))) - (20*LOG10(10(m))) = 94dBA
Note:
Under no circumstances SPL figures in available spaces are allowed to exceed 120 dBA.
2.1.3 Amount of loudspeakers
To determine the required amount, type and tapping of loudspeakers in a MPA 1600 system it is
necessary to make an installation SPL requirement chart over the site/vessel. Within this chart noise
figures must be known or estimated. This, along with the environment requirement will make a basis
for the loudspeaker selection.
When this is prepared, an SPL calculation can be performed to find the requirement of loudspeaker
denseness. The above SPL formula must be used.
The type and amount of loudspeakers can be established. This will also include information about
tapping and output power.
It is also vital to take duplication into consideration. Whenever the MPA 1600 system handles General
Alarm or the vessel is intended for passenger transportation the system shall be fully duplicated (A &
B system) using separately located central equipment with physically separated cables and loudspeaker
segregation. All spaces shall be covered from both duplication loops.
2.1.4 Cable arrangement
In an MPA 1600 system that handles General Alarm (PA/GA) or the vessel is intended for passenger
transportation each loudspeaker distribution cable shall be organised as a closed loop starting and
ending at the central equipment point. This increases redundancy regarding cable problems and can
make system work without disturbances during cable failure.

2.1.5 Zones
In most installation there is a requirement for dividing the system into different paging zones. The
MPA 1600 has 6 zones available for paging separation. Each zone is individually controlled from the
MPA 1601 / 1604 control units.
The zone selection is important for loudspeaker distribution and the cabling plan preparation.
2.1.6 Amplifiers
The amount of loudspeakers, their tapping (actual power output) and, in some cases, the zone
segmentation determines the necessary amount of amplifiers in the amplifier pool.
In a fixed line level (100V) system as the MPA 1600, the requirement for amplifier power is exactly
the same as the loudspeaker output figure.
During engineering of the MPA 1600 GA / PA system it is recommended to calculate 10 25 %
headroom of the amplifier pool for installation and/or later adjustments
The available amplifiers come in 3 power output versions:
PA 6312 120W output power
PA 6324 240W output power
PA 6336 360 W output power

2.1.7 Short Circuit proof loudspeakers
A 100V line adapted loudspeaker equipped with a line transformer is regarded as a protection against
loudspeaker short circuit and is required in all installations (independent of type of vessel).
2.1.8 Compass Safe Distance:
In order to not cause any unacceptable deviation of the ships standard and steering compasses or

GENERAL ALARM ADJUSTMENT
The MPA 1600 system has a facility for both curve form and frequency adjustment of the General
Alarm. This is a part of the system setup and must be determined either in the factory (FAT) or during
System installation and commissioning. The configuration is done by means of an USB stick
containing the MPA 1600 Config file (text file editor generated). This USB stick is loaded into the
front USB port of the MPA 1600 Operation unit (see figure below).
The MPA Configuration is set up with the reference to the file name of the General Alarm sequence
specification.
The frequency can be changed between 200 to 2500Hz and the Curve form can either be sinusoidal or
triangle.

2.3
FEEDBACK / INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION
In cases where loudspeakers are place in the near proximity of the MPA 1601 / 1604 Control units
(microphones) there is a possibility of causing audible feedback making PA messages difficult or
impossible to interpret. The MPA 1600 PA/GA system has two different countermeasures in order to
deal with this. Either a local mute facility in each MPA 1601 Control Unit, or using a temporary
recording facility within the system in order to first make a record, then automatically replay the
message when finished. The latter is called speech delay and it is a configuration matter
2.3.1 Local Mute
In all Control Units, MPA 1601 / 1604 there is a local mute relay and related terminals. The local
loudspeakers object to the mute function must be connected through this relay. As long as the Control
unit is idle the relay are closed and all signal messages are passing through to the local loudspeakers.
Whenever the Control unit is active (PA / Emergency PA) the relay opens and the message is
disconnected from the loudspeaker and it is locally muted. Whenever the Control Units becomes idle
again the loudspeaker is reconnected.
For connection details: Ref. Document 03118-025-EC
2.3.2 Speech delay
The MPA 1600 system has a facility named speech delay. When this facility is enabled in the system
configuration, the MPA 1600 system will not immediately output the message when a PA or
Emergency PA announcement is activated, but start a temporary recording. When the PA / Emergency
PA announcement is finished the system automatically replays the message into the loudspeaker
network in the selected zones (according to the initiated zone selection).
The speech delay facility is selected individually per input during installation or previously in a FAT
situation. It is not object to any user selection. Once selected, it will be enabled for all messages
inserted through this input. It is not dependant of any special or additional connections within the
system.
The Speech delay is a configuration selection only open to Jotron or authorized personnel.

2.4
POWER
The operating power is 115/230 VAC as primary, and 24VDC as backup. The MPA 1600 system will
automatically switch between primary and secondary power source in case of mains failure. The
24VDC must be permanently present for mains transaction backup supply in order to avoid the system
boot sequence of approximately 30 seconds. The system is unavailable for operation during the boot
sequence.
As an optional safety precaution, the mains operating power may be pre-switched by means of a
mechanical contactor/switch-over module as long as the 24VDC backup supply is present to keep the
system from power fail during the switching period.
2.5
GLANDS
The cables enter the WP units by means of cable glands. Where cable glands are not supplied from
factory, the installer must adapt the glands to the actual cable outer diameter. This is to obtain the
specified inlet protection.
2.6
FERRULING
The conductors should be ferruled prior to termination onto the screw terminals.
2.7
MARKING
Each cable is to be marked with cable numbers.

Each conductor is to be marked with the specific termination numbers.
2.8
FASTENING
Where applicable, the cables and the conductors shall be clamped to the structure with cable ties.
2.9
PRESERVATION
Prior to, during, and after installation the equipment must be handled with care. And protected against
acid holding fluids, pollution, moist, impacts etc.
This is in order to avoid damaged equipment, for which Jotron will claim void warranty.

2.10
CABLE REQUIREMENTS
All cables used in the MPA system must be of approved ship cable type.
Requirements:
Common outer screen
Individually twisted pairs
Recommended conductor size is 0.75 mm
All cabling in the MPA must be a separate network.
Do not combine different systems in the same cable. This is to prevent disturbance and noise caused by
interference.
SCREEN CONNECTION
In order to obtain maximum performance after installation, it is necessary to terminate the cables and
ground the screens in a good manner. The cables are to de-isolated by removing approximately 500
mm of the outer insulation. Then the screen braid is cut off approximately 30 mm longer than the outer
isolation. The conductors are to be de-isolated and ferruled before they are inserted into the terminals.
The outer screen is clamped to the cable fixing rails inside the cabinet. Cable ties of a conductive type
(metal) are recommended for best result.
Fig. 2.3
The cable outer screens are to be terminated as shown. Conductive cable ties are recommended to
obtain best possible screen connection.

INTRODUCTION
The MPA-system is a marine and offshore Public Address system. It meets the requirements for
PA/GA, and entertainment, distribution on board ships and mobile offshore units. The system
conforms to SOLAS, IMO and IEC regulations. Based on modular design and flexible configuration, it
covers a wide range of installation complexities. Ranging from, small single loop systems, to large
duplicated systems. The operator panels are available in different layouts, with or without alarm
buttons. These panels are listed below:
1601 Access panel with zone and EM/PA buttons, but without alarm/cancel buttons. For
flush mounting.
1603 Alarm panel with only alarm/cancel buttons. For flush mounting.
1604 Access panel with only zone and PA buttons. For flush mounting.
1605 Access panel with zone, EM/PA, and Alarm/cancel buttons. For table top mounting.
1606 Access panel with zone, EM/PA, and Alarm/cancel buttons. For 19/ flush mounting.
1643 Access panel with zone, EM/PA, and Alarm/cancel buttons. For wall/desk mounting in
E.X areas.
OPERATING DESCRIPTION
2.1
EMERGENCY PAGING
Emergency Paging (EM PA) is highest priority paging within the MPA 1600 system.
EM PA overrides any audible entertainment channels within the system while active
EM PA overrides any external entertainment systems by means of an entertainment signal
while active (see documents 03118-100-BD and 03118-100-EC)
EM PA overrides any volume controls (entertainment) while active
EM PA overrides normal paging (PA)
EM PA overrides General Alarm (GA) and other audible alarms while active
EM PA overrides external GA systems by means of an external GA mute signal while
active (see documents 03118-100-BD and 03118-100-EC)
EM PA messages are always broadcasted to all zones/areas in the system.
Emergency paging is initiated from the Control unit MPA 1601, 1605, 1606, or 1643 by means of the
EMERGENCY PA (EM PA) button. This button is marked by red colour.
To avoid unauthorised use, the EM PA button must be continuously activated (held) for one
second to activate. The EM PA button must be continuously pressed during activation.
Page 3 of 8
Doc.No.: 03118-000-OP
The emergency paging is released when the EM PA button is released.

During EM PA the individual zone buttons are disabled and will not affect the paging zone extent.
Figure 2-1
Keep EM PA button pressed for

1 sec. to activate.
Then keep pressed continuously
during the PA message
In case the General Alarm is initiated during an existing Emergency PA, the Emergency PA
announcement will be interrupted and the General Alarm will be heard.
To re-establish Emergency PA as highest priority, the interrupted operator must re-activate the
Emergency PA button. This can be done immediately.
2.2
PAGING (Normal Paging)

PA overrides any audible entertainment channels within the system while active
PA overrides any external entertainment systems by means of an entertainment mute signal
while active (see documents 03118-100-BD and 03118-100-EC)
PA overrides any volume controls (entertainment) while active
PA messages can be zone controlled by means of the zone buttons for paging in separate
areas. (Activate Zone buttons before PA button; green led is ON.
PA activation without zone control will launch the message in a system pre-programmed
zone selection. (normally all zones except sleeping areas)
Normal paging is initiated from the Control units MPA 1601, 1604, 1605, 1606, or 1643 by means of
the PA button.
The PA button must be continuously pressed during activation.
The normal paging is released when the PA button is released.
In case a General Alarm is active, the normal paging (PA) button will automatically change to
emergency PA functionality.
Page 4 of 8
Doc.No.: 03118-000-OP
Normal PA can also be activated from external microphones or other similar equipment. In that case
the pre-programmed zone selection is activated.
Figure 2-2
Optional:
Activate any zone
combination
2.3
Keep pressed continuously

during the PA message.
Without any optional preselection of zones, the zone
selection is according to the preprogrammed setup
ALARM (General Alarm)

GA overrides any other audible alarm in the system
GA overrides any external entertainment systems by means of an entertainment mute signal
while active (see documents 03118-025-EC)
GA overrides any volume controls (entertainment) while active
GA overrides normal paging (PA)
GA overrides Emergency PA temporary in case EM PA is active before GA is turned on as
a temporary guarantee for GA notification. (EM PA will then be able to re-activate and
override GA as normal and with highest priority).
Other system alarms (Alarm 2-4) will, if configured, behave as GA but with priority below
GA.
GA is always broadcasted to all zones/areas in the system.
The General Alarm is initiated from the MPA 1603, 1605, 1606, or 1643 by means of Alarm button 1
GA.
This button is marked by red colour.
The GA is activated by a single push operation of the button and must be released by the Cancel (C)
button.
To avoid unauthorised use, the GA button must be kept pressed for one second to activate.
Also to avoid unauthorised cancellation, the C (Cancel) button must also be kept pressed for one
second to activate.
Page 5 of 8
Doc.No.: 03118-000-OP
The MPA 1603, 1605, 1606 and 1643 is also equipped with 3 additional Alarm buttons for activation
of optional alarms. These alarms will all have lower priority than the GA and thus be overridden
whenever a GA is initiated.

2.4
Keep the CANCEL button pressed for

1 sec. to de-activate the alarm
PRIORITY
The MPA 1600 system is subject to a priority configuration. This configuration is somehow flexible,
but certain rules are to be maintained (highest priority on top of the list and downwards):
Emergency PA initiated from the Bridge (MPA 1601/1605/1606/1643 EM PA)
Emergency PA initiated from a secondary vital position (MPA 1601/1605/1606/1643
EM_PA)
Emergency PA initiated from other optional positions (MPA 1601/1605/1606/1643 EM
PA)
General Alarm (MPA 1603/1605/1606/1643 )
Additional alarms (optional) (MPA 1603/1605/1606/1643)
Normal PA from the Bridge position (MPA 1601/1605/1606/1643 PA)
Normal PA from a secondary vital position (MPA 1601/1605/1606/1643 PA)
Normal PA from other optional positions (MPA 1601 or MPA 1604 PA)
Page 6 of 8
Doc.No.: 03118-000-OP
GA overrides Emergency PA temporary in case EM PA is active before GA is turned on as a
temporary guarantee for GA notification. (EM PA will then be able to re-activate and override
GA as normal and with highest priority)
o When the system is occupied the Zone buttons indicators of the Control Unit (MPA 1601
/1604/1605/1606/1643) will light up red.
o When the priority rules (above) allow override from a specific Control Unit, the Emergency
PA or PA button indicators on the unit are unlit.
o When the priority rules do not allow override from a specific Control Unit, the Emergency
PA or PA button indicators on the unit are lit up red
2.5
ZONES
The MPA 1600 is divided into 6 different Zones. During normal paging (not EM PA) the different
areas can be selected by activating the zone keys before the PA key. Any zone combination can be
selected. To disengage the selected zone selection each activated zone must be manually turned off.
If the PA button is activated without any previous zone selection the pre-programmed default zone
selection is activated.
2.6
LOCAL MUTE
Each MPA 1601/1604/1605/1606/ Control Unit has built-in mute relays, which will be active during
paging from this user. Routing local speakers through these relays will minimize the risk of audible
feedback.
2.7
VOLUME OVERRIDE
Each zone has a "volume override" output that will disable local volume settings.
In an entertainment system it is convenient to have local volume controls at the loudspeaker. However,
alarms and PA messages needs to be distributed at full volume and will activate this override while
activated.
2.8
ALARM PRIORITY.
The General Alarm has priority over Normal PA messages and any entertainment source. The General
Alarm has normally priority below Emergency PA in order to make authorised operators able to give
important messages during alarm.
2.9
ATTENTION TONE
Each paging will be announced with an initial attention tone. This attention tone is different, dependant
of the PA situation in order to distinguish between normal and emergency paging.
Page 7 of 8
Doc.No.: 03118-000-OP
2.10
ENTERTAINMENT
The MPA1602 (optional) can have up to 2 entertainment sources. This can be either two CD-players.
Or one CD-player and an external source like TV or video signals. Both sources can be distributed to
any of the 6 zones. Configuration is done through the keypad on the MPA 1602 front-panel. Status in
each zone is also indicated on the same keypad. Any Entertainment source is muted during
PA/Emergency PA and Alarm (GA).

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to specify all testing/measurement to be carried out during the
commissioning. Test results and identified problems will be recorded as a Commissioning report.
The purpose of the commissioning is to verify that the equipment fulfils all functional requirements as
set forth in the specification provided by the client. Further, the test objective is to verify that cables,
terminals and mechanical workmanship of the delivered equipment complies with project standard and
overall industry standards for such equipment.
BRIEF SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

5.1 General
The Public Address & Alarm system is designed, produced and delivered by JP. The delivery
comprises centralised equipment mounted in racks, as well as equipment for installation throughout the
vessel / platform.
There are two main purposes for the PA system, one is to broadcast general announcements throughout
the platform and the other is to distribute alarm tones and guide platform personnel during possible
emergency situations.
5.2 Central equipment
The PA & GA system is a duplicated system each containing two equally equipped central wall
cabinets / racks (customer dependant). Each containing the MPA 1600 Operation Unit, the required
amount of PA6312, PA6324, PA6336 and/or 1670 power amplifiers and distribution and termination
modules.
Outputs to field equipment are divided into separate A and B cable routing.
5.3 Access & Control panels
At least two Control Units, type MPA 1601, and two Alarm Panels, type MPA 1603 are required, but
up to 6 of each type can be supplied. The Control Unit MPA 1604 can be used in positions not
requiring access to the Emergency PA operation.

Doc.No.: 03118-100-CO
TEST PLAN
6.1 Test philosophy
An internal Pre-FAT testing of the Public Address System will be conducted at JP premises prior to
the FAT. The Pre FAT test results will be available during FAT.
The client will thus have the option to select only a number of Access units and Amplifiers for
verification, as testing of all interfaces is very time consuming.
All check/tests recorded shall end up in a status Pass or Fail. Any deviations or discrepancies shall be
recorded in the FAT Report - Punch List.
6.2 Scope of test
The testing will demonstrate that the equipment has been built and configured to meet the functional
requirements of the Specification, and in accordance with the provided documentation.
The tests will also show that the basic performance requirements (e.g. Signal Levels and functions) are
met.
SPECIFIC TEST PROCEDURE

8.2.4 Priority by normal paging "PA"

The MPA system is a single access system. Meaning that only one operator can use the system
at any time. The priority is programmable by software. If operator I has higher priority than
operator II, then operator I can override operator II. However, the operator II can override I
with the use of Emergency PA (EM-PA) key.
Priority is shown in the list below.
A ding-dong tone is generated for all new PA-messages.
The tone is also generated in override situations.
Priority levels:
1. MPA 1601 Navigation Bridge Emergency PA
2. MPA 1601 Alternative Position Emergency PA
3. Others Emergency PA
4. MPA 1601 Navigation Bridge (normal) PA
5. MPA 1601 Alternative Position (normal) PA
6. Others (normal) PA

Check by activating the EM-PA/PA-button that the priority of access

between the users are according to the above table for any
sequence and combination of users.
Users with the same priority level will operate as "first come, first serve."
Pass/Fail
For the current active user-panel, the EM-PA/PA led is green.

For users with equal or lower priority than the current user,
the led is red. And for users with higher priority the led is dark.
Pass/Fail
When a user is paging (PA) in an override situation with differences

between active and passive zones, then all zones will be active.
Pass/Fail
If a user is shut down by an override situation the EM-PA/PA led

will change from green to red on this user panel.

8.8
Sound Pressure Level

The major requirement of a GA / PA system is sufficient coverage and sound pressure level
(SPL) for alarms and PA messages to be heard throughout the installation. The requirement is a
minimum of 75dBA and at least 10dBA above the ambient noise level. The requirement is
80dBA and at least 10dBA above the ambient noise level in interior and exterior spaces.
Page 8 of 11
Handbook page
53/82
Doc.No.: 03118-100-CO
To ensure this, the MPA 1600 system makes use of the industrial standardized 100 V line
distribution system. This is a distribution system that is based on a fixed line level (100V) and
where the loudspeaker output power is determined by means of loudspeaker type and power
tapping. Hence, each loudspeaker meeting this line specification is equipped with an audio
transformer with several tapping possibilities.
The sound pressure level in an installation is a site dependant issue, and is determined by the
amount, type and tapping of the loudspeakers.
An installation must be carefully planned to ensure sufficient SPL figures
In order to approve or decline a GA / PA system installation a full SPL-figure survey must take
place subsequent to the installation and setting-to-work process.

Power Amplifier 1670
PUBLIC ADDRESS & ALARM SYSTEM

The AMP 1670 is a high performance, high efficiency 400 watt power amplifier designed to meet the needs of the most demanding PA/GA applications. The amplifier
is designed to operate from a 48VDC power supply. It is only 1U high, weighs only
6.5kg and power consumption is only 480W at rated power output. Quiescent power consumption is also very low, at less than 5W.
Inputs and Outputs
The AMP 1670 features two balanced line level inputs, normal and priority.
The AMP 1670 provides one 100 volt line output.
Controls and Metering
The front panel consists of a recessed power switch and recessed screwdriver adjustable controls for adjustment of the optional line surveillance board. The front panel
of the AMP 1670 includes a LED dB meter, Power status led, amplifier protection and
line surveillance status leds.
Protection
The AMP 1670 features a slow start function as well as overload and overdrive
protection. Should the amplifier be overdriven, a current limiter will protect the unit,
and in a worst case scenario the amplifier will shut down until the problem is resolved. Once the problem is fixed (shorted speaker line, or overdriven input), the
amplifier will automatically reset and continue operation. The AMP 1670 features
internal heatzink with fan cooling. The fan will start to turn if the operating temperature exceeds 40C, and turn at full speed at 50C. The amplifier will protect itself
at 90C and resume operation when the temperature has dropped to 70C. The fan
exhaust is in the rear of the amplifier, and the air inlet is in the front.
