The MACRO system concept and applications
MACRO System is a comprehensive range of AC mains and AC mains/24V DC amplification, controls and surveillance units and associated peripherals, designed for use by emergency services and high integrity communication and alarm systems, manufactured to the highest standards of electronic and mechanical performance and with Quality Assurance to British Standard BS.5750 AC/ DC equipment is designed to operate normally from 220/240V AC mains, with the capability to operate indefinitely, and without loss of any facilities, from a standby DC power source (battery system) in the event of mains failure.
Full compatibility within the MACRO range is assured, thus easing system design and enabling fully integrated systems to be specified using standard MACRO components and options.
The current manufacturing programme features a variety of 8 input mixers, 100 Watt and 250 Watt 8 input mixer amplifiers and corresponding slave amplifiers, all offered in AC mains only or AC/DC format. AC/DC units provide full AC and DC power integrity monitoring and indication, and all except mixers feature a
The amplifier power output stage is in the form of a self contained
Mechanically, MACRO amplifiers utilise a 3U 19" rack mount format with plated steel chassis, contoured aluminium alloy anodised front/rear panels, chromed handles, nut and bolt fastenings, and connectors are tough locking DIN as standard for signals, ìDî connector for auxiliary control functions, IEC mains, and military specification 97 series DC input.
By appropriate choice of input modules, the MACRO range of equipment will perform with outstanding results in a multitude of applications, and a few only are listed under:-
Factory paging, time signals and alarm amplification Retail stores paging and background music Theatre show relay and prompt calls etc.
security paging etc. Zoned fire alarm systems
In use the amplifiers will give trouble free and accurate performance, and failure or partial failure is likely to be a result of external problems with loudspeaker or input cabling etc. The following pages will provide a guide to setting up, operation and maintenance of the amplifier, but in case of difficulty it would be advisable to consult a qualified dealer or the manufacturer.
