“Magic box” developed by PASO to extend inter-equipment links via RS-485, ACNET is a perfect complement to PAW series products
The PAW5500-VES and PAW51K-VES Series PASO voice evacuation systems do not need much introduction, they are universally known and are characterized, among other things, by the possibility of connecting various devices together, so as to expand EN54 facilities. The connection method adopted is proprietary, and works over Ethernet, allowing the equipment to exchange information through the RS-485 connection as well as with analog audio signals. The maximum distance for this type of connection is approximately 1.200 meters.
PASO ACNET enters the scene precisely at this point: to overcome the barrier represented by this distance, the optional ACNET module allows the link to be transferred over-IP with a transparent connection to users, installers and all the devices that make up the system.
But what exactly is ACNET? Very simple: it is an audio/data adapter with very small dimensions, easy to install inside the PAW models. The double LINK connection allows setting up a point-to-point connection on the LAN network, and also allows the reproduction of announcements, pre-recorded messages or music files (the product integrates a USB audio player for .mp3/.wav files).
Finally, through LED indicators, the entire system is monitored and automatically detects any failures in real time. The user also has the possibility to monitor the status of the system through a simple web interface, very intuitive and easy to use.
The “PAW world”, in short, is confirmed in continuous growth and improvement, to always be the state of the art in vocal evacuation systems.
