Honeywell X-DCS3000 Digital Integrated System Manager

X-DCS3000 X-618 MEGA Public Address

High Efficiency Power Amplifier with 24 VDC Backup Power Supply

X-DCS3000 Digital Integrated System Manager (abbr. DCS) is the basic unit

of X-618 Public Address System. DCS integrates plentiful functions such as

zone expansion, multiple audio sources support, audio file storage, net

audio, broadcasting, zone control, monitoring, fault diagnosis etc. With

powerful audio matrix structure, X-DCS3000 is capable of catering to the

most complicated application in a cost effective way.

Features

Input/Output

DCS can connect up to 8 amplifier channels and support 4 x 8 audio matrix

for both local audio input and network audio routing.

DCS has 8 dry-contact outputs that can be used to activate external

devices. It has 8 pairs of loudspeaker line output where each one allows

multiple 70V loudspeakers to be connected in parallel. A record output port

is dedicated for external recording.

DCS also has 8 dry-contact inputs that can be linked with fire alarm

controller which trigger alarms and emergency evacuation announcements

via X-618 MEGA when fire happens. On the rear panel, there are 4 network

A/D audio input, which provide connections to external audio sources such

as CD/DVD, FM tuner etc. With addition X-ND100 Noise Detector, AVC

(Automatic Volume Control) function can be enabled so that volume output

in the implemented zones can be optimized automatically according to the

ambinent noise level varies. User can set the phantom power and input gain

of each volume control input on the rear panel.

Safety And Robustness

DCS can detect errors on main power supply, backup power supply,

amplifier circuit, amplifier protection, software, communications, and

loudspeaker line in runtime. By locating the error's occurrence, DCS

provides valuable information for repairing or replacing the malfunctioned

devices.

DCS supports power supply and amplifier redundancy. Built-in fuse

provides over-current protection to the main power supply. When a

short-circuit error is detected in DCS, the power supplied from main power

will be cut off and switched to the backup one. DCS has two backup

amplifier channel to standby for 8 main amplifier channel. It is configurable

for backup strategy by config software.

NETWORK CONNECTIONS

DCS can connect with other Ethernet based

system components and network to expand zone

number or from network via 4 10M/100M

adaptable Ethernet interfaces.

AUDIO STORAGE

DCS is built with flash memory which can store

up to 60 minutes voice message. Via X-618

Config software, users can upload audio files for

later playback or audio synthesis. Volume

controllers can be connected with the DCS

contact outputs to adjust the zones volume or

force switching.
