Detailed Description of the Invention
It will be appreciated that aspects, embodiments and preferred features of the invention have been described herein in a way that allows the specification to be written in a clear and concise way. Flowever, unless circumstances clearly dictate otherwise, aspects, embodiments and preferred features can be variously combined or separated in accordance with the invention. Thus, preferably, the invention provides a device having features of a combination of two or more, three or more, or four or more of the aspects described herein. In a preferred embodiment, a device in accordance with the invention comprises all aspects of the invention.
Within the context of this specification, the word "comprises" means "includes, among other things" and should not be construed to mean "consists of only".
Within the context of this specification, the term "outstation" is interpreted to have the meaning as described in BS5839-9, Type A or Type B. In this regard, an outstation is a unit, located at a strategic point in a building or building complex, that allows two- way voice conversation with a master station. A Type A outstation is an outstation using a telephone-style handset for voice communication, so that the user's mouth and ear can be as close as possible to the microphone and ear-piece, respectively. In contrast, a Type B outstation is an outstation using an intercom-style fixed microphone and adjacent loudspeaker, normally mounted on a wall or other vertical surface.
Within the context of this specification, the term "master station" or "termination point" is interpreted to have the meaning as described in BS5839-9. In this regard, a master station is a control unit located at a central control point which controls an EVC system.
Within the context of this specification, the term "EVC system" is interpreted to have the meaning as described in BS5839-9. In this regard, an EVC system is a system that allows voice communication in either direction between a central control point and a number of other points throughout a building or building complex, particularly in a fire emergency situation.
The invention provides a system wherein multiple outstations are connected to an emergency voice communication system. According to the invention, communication and power transfer is provided which allows outstations to be connected to a control system utilizing both loop and radial connection methods simultaneously on one system. Connections to outstations are made utilizing 2 core cables, where the polarity is not important regardless of the connection method used. This provides the advantage that using the most suitable connection method significantly reduces the amount of cable required.
As shown in Figure 1, an embodiment of the invention comprises an EVC system which includes a termination point (TP) (7) to which outstations (2, 3, 4, 5) are connected. Outstations (2, 3, 4, 5) are connected to interchangeable zone boards (8, 9) located within the termination point (7) where first zone boards (9) allow connection of outstations (2, 3) in a loop and second zone boards (8) allow radial outstation connections to outstations (4, 5).
Communication and power transfer is provided which allows outstations (2, 3, 4, 5) to be connected to a master station (7) utilizing both loop and radial connection methods simultaneously on one system. Connections are made to outstations (2, 3, 4, 5) are made utilizing 2 core cables (10, 11).
An EVC system contains at least one master station (7). The EVC system is controlled from a master station (7) located at a central control point such as a fire control centre or security room or, if there is no manned control centre, at a main fire and rescue service access point. A master station (7) is expected to be permanently manned in an emergency. In a fire emergency situation, control might be taken over by a fire officer.
In a large building or complex, there may be more than one point from which evacuation or other emergency situations can be controlled. It may then be appropriate for a master station (7) to be installed at each such location. Where more than one master station (7) is installed in a building or complex, one master station (7) needs to have overall control of the EVC system at any given time, the remainder of the "master stations" (7) effectively becoming repeaters.
A master station (7) communicates with a number of outstations (2, 3, 4, 5) throughout a building or complex. It needs to be powered from the normal low voltage electricity supply in a building or complex, but has a secondary power supply comprising a battery which is kept fully charged.
A master station (7) is able to receive calls from all outstations (2, 3, 4, 5). Where required, it also has a facility to call each individual outstation (2, 3, 4, 5), group of outstations or all outstations. As a minimum, a master station (7) will has a telephone- style handset or microphone and loudspeaker for voice communication purposes, controls for making calls to, and receiving calls from, outstations, indicators to identify incoming calls, and fault and status indicators. Under the control of the master station (7), a "conferencing" facility may be available for a limited number of outstations (2, 3, 4, 5). In a complex of different buildings, it may be desirable to have a voice communication link (10, 11) between a master station (7) in one building and master stations (7) in other buildings.
Since the main function of an EVC system is voice communication, audibility and intelligibility of conversation is very important.
Outstations (2, 3, 4, 5) are configurable by the end user to be either wired as loop (2, 3) or radial (4, 5) outstations.
BS8300 compliant disabled toilet alarm systems (1, 6) can connected to first (2, 3) or second outstations (4, 5) or to a specialised unit designed for connection of disabled toilet alarms only.
Termination points (7) comprise a user interface (TPUI) or no user interface (TP) to allow communication with connected outstations (2, 3, 4, 5).
As shown in Figure 2, a standalone user interface (12) can be provided which can be connected to a termination point (7). Advantageously, communication to outstations (2, 3, 4, 5) connected to a termination point (7) without a user interface will be possible via the user interface fitted / connected to another termination point (7).
Termination points (7) can be connected together via a fault tolerant loop. The fault tolerant loop comprises a wired network utilising either copper, fibre or both.
The connection method between termination points (7) and outstations (2, 3, 4, 5) is via a 2 core copper cable (10, 11) connection which carries power, control and audio data.
The polarity of the connection (10, 11) between termination points (7) is not significant.
The connection method utilises Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Narrowband Power Line Communication (PLC) modems. In addition, audio compression is used.
Outstations (2, 3) configured for loop connection have the ability to sense short circuit and open circuit conditions present in the loop.
Each outstation (2, 3) has the ability to break the loop in order to mitigate the consequences of a shorted connection. In use, when this occurs a fault is indicated at the user interface (12).
The above described embodiments have been given by way of example only, and the skilled reader will naturally appreciate that many variations could be made thereto without departing from the scope of the invention.
