The PRA-APAS is an industrial PC with pre‑installed software, acting as a server for PRAESENSA. It provides advanced business related public address functions without compromises and does therefore not support emergency functionalities. The PRA-APAS supports connections to two separate local area networks, the PRAESENSA secure network and the public network with access to the Internet, with a firewall in between. On the public network it connects to the Internet and to one or more licensed operator devices, such as a wireless tablet or a regular PC. On the secure PRAESENSA network it interfaces with the system controller for control and transfer of multiple simultaneous audio channels. The operator devices use their own web browser to control background music, streaming from PRA-APAS’ own internal memory or from external music portals and Internet radio stations. It offers announcement creation and control facilities to the operator, including message scheduling, live call recording with pre‑monitoring and playback, and even multi‑lingual text‑to‑speech calls, using on‑line conversion services.

• Compact device for loudspeaker end‑of‑line supervision
• Reliable solution for (long) loudspeaker lines
• Fault detection in amplifier without additional wiring
• Low level, high frequency pilot tone
• Flexible mounting options

This end‑of‑line device is a reliable solution for loudspeaker line integrity supervision, which is a requirement for emergency sound systems. It is connected at the end of a loudspeaker line, after the last loudspeaker of a series of looped-through loudspeakers.
It communicates with the PRAESENSA amplifier channel driving that loudspeaker line, to confirm the integrity of the line. Where impedance measurements may not detect a disconnected loudspeaker, depending on the number
of connected loudspeakers and cable type, or report false faults, the end-of-line device provides a superior solution to report the correct status of the loudspeaker line.
The enclosure size is compatible with the mounting provisions in most Bosch loudspeakers for supervision boards or devices. It can also be reduced in size to fit most cable junction boxes.

• Sixteen general purpose inputs for control actions from external switches
• Eight general purpose relay outputs to activate external control circuits

These contact inputs and outputs provide the easy logic connectivity of a PRAESENSA system to auxiliary equipment such as fire alarm systems, strobes, indicators, or speaker relays.
The PRA-IM16C8 enclosure allows for DIN rail installation near to the auxiliary equipment for short interconnections. The module only requires a connection to an OMNEO IP‑network with Power over Ethernet (PoE) for communication and for power supply combined.

• Overcome limitations of a single system controller
• Expand system span with up to 20 subsystems
• License for one subsystem to enable networking with the master controller
• Possibility of system-wide emergency calls from central EN 54-16 certified call stations to all subsystems
• Network-wide propagation of error and status messages

The PRA-LSPRA software license creates a PRAESENSA multi-system architecture with higher scalability in comparison to a single system. A system with master and subsystem controllers improves the overall performance by extending the number of devices and zones. A master system controller is a standard PRAESENSA system controller with an active PRA-LSPRA license per subsystem. The same amount of licenses is required for an optional redundant master controller. Subsystem controllers do not require licenses. With a master controller and a maximum of 20
subsystems, PRAESENSA can support 3000 devices and 10,000 zones.
