8-zone 16-line expansion EN 54-16 EVA-3000 - RONDSON RON-02945

The EVA‑EXT3100 is the EVA‑3000 series zone expander, designed to increase the number of speaker lines and interfaces available within an EN 54‑16 certified voice evacuation and public address system. The device provides 16 speaker lines corresponding to 8 zones, 8 monitored contact inputs and 8 contact outputs, as well as a line input for local audio sources. The EVA‑EXT3100 integrates advanced automatic diagnostics, monitoring power supplies, CPU, amplifiers, speaker lines, contacts, and the network. In the event of a controller CPU failure, the unit can still distribute audio from the line input to all local zones, ensuring operational continuity during emergencies. It also features audio outputs for both channels (CH1 and CH2) for connection to external amplifiers, support for 3- and 4-wire volume controls, and a 24 VDC output for powering auxiliary devices. Each zone supports up to 500 W of load, making the expander suitable for large systems. User benefits Expansion of up to 8 additional zones with 16 speaker lines Full integration with EVA-3000 series PA / VA systems Automatic diagnostics for power supplies, CPU, amplifiers, lines, contacts, and network Standalone operation for local announcements even in the event of controller failure Support for 3-wire and 4-wire volume controllers 8 monitored contact inputs and 8 contact outputs for external device activation CH1 / CH2 audio outputs for third-party amplifiers 24 VDC output for powering accessories Power load capacity up to 500 W per zone EN 54-16 and CE/CB certifications Areas of use EN 54-16 certified voice evacuation and fire alarm systems PA / VA systems in complex buildings with many zones Shopping centers, airports, hospitals, schools, hotels, offices Installations requiring modular zone expansion Audi Systems requiring continuous supervision and operational redundancy Integration with fire alarm control panels via monitored contact inputs
