EN 54 is a series of European standards originally designed for fire alarm products, mandatory since April 2011, EN 54 was extended to cover voice evacuation to meet a growing trend in the market towards integration of fire alarm and voice evacuation systems. Already globally embraced, these international standards set the guidelines for system performance and surveillance. A voice evacuation system must be at all times ready for operation and a single fault in the critical signal path must be detected and reported. Subordinate EN 54 standards describe requirements, tests and performance criteria for individual components.
Since its launch in 2019, LEA Professional has consistently invested in improving safety and performance standards across its Connect Series range, meeting increasingly stringent worldwide standards and ensuring its amplifiers can be used in projects of all sizes. With EN54 certification the Connect Series is tested and approved for use in life safety and voice evacuation systems, confirming compliance with the strictest local standards, thus enabling LEA Professional amplifiers for use in an even wider variety of installations.
The LEA Professional Connect Series EN54-16 voice alarm compliant amplifiers include 352, 354, 702, 704 Network models as well as the 352D, 354D, 702D, and 704D Dante models. These models are IoT-enabled commercial-grade audio amplifiers, perfectly suited for small to medium sized installations. The Connect Series also features cloud connectivity allowing users to harness the power of the cloud for remote control, monitoring, configuration, and more from any personal device. Connect Series also features HiZ and LoZ channel-selectable analog inputs, and external I/O control for remote on/off and fault monitoring.
"We work hard to make our products adaptable to all types of installations, helping make the work of our integrators and end users a little bit easier,” said Nick Mourn, Application Engineering and Consultant Relations Manager at LEA Professional. “Safety and reliability have always been a top priority to us, and with EN54-16 certification, the Connect Series range can be used to meet the needs of a diverse range of projects.”
