Cerberus PACE Compact is a network-based public address and voice alarm (PA/VA) system that complies with the requirements of EN 54‑16 and allows for a decentralized and redundant system structure. It is an important feature of the system that the critical risks of single point of failure vulnerabilities are eliminated.
A typical Cerberus PACE Compact system is comprised of Cerberus PACE Compact voice alarm panels, operating terminals, and call stations. The voice alarm panels contain an audio matrix and power amplifiers. They can be extended with system operating and call station equipment.
Ethernet switches are used to link these components to a network via copper or fiber-optic cables.
Cerberus PACE Compact systems are configured in real-time using the 'PACE-Design' system software.
An EN 54‑4-certified power supply guarantees uninterrupted operation and high system availability.
