VIGIL EVAS ~ Configurator

The BVRD2M routeing matrix enables the user to modify settings via a laptop computer by simply connecting it to the front panel of the BVRD2M and running the Configurator software. The user can then quickly update the functions of the routeing matrix, saving valuable on site engineering time.

By using the USB2 port on the front panel and a USB2 cable it is possible to program the BVRD2M by the use of simple configuration pages. The software takes the user through step by step, with easy to understand pages. Adjustments to the BVRD2M system that can be made include: volume levels, EQ, monitoring modes, high pass filters, chimes, surveillance and ambient noise.

The software offers the following functions:

Ability to modify all BVRD2M firmware.

Load messages.

Change accessibility codes.

Fault logging with time and date stamping (a laptop needs to be connected to the BVRD2M).

System design - possible to create your own configuration settings withoutbeing connected to the BVRD2M.

Download configuration settings to store for future use.

Upload new/modified configuration settings.

Each Baldwin Boxall rack that contains a BVRD2M will be supplied with a copy of this software and the system's default settings will be saved as standard.

BVRD2M ~ Unitouch Paging Station software

UNItouch PC paging technology allows simple intuitive control of a VIGIL voice alarm system. By simply touching various parts of the screen (touchscreen version) the operator can access fire microphones, paging to any or all zones, carry out emergency broadcasts, select background music or messages for any zones.

UNItouch software also provides the user with fault diagnostic information which is displayed in a straightforward manner and will include date and time stamp information - and will even recommend solutions to rectify a fault. Faults such as line (A/B circuit), reserve amplifier, power supply and charger, ambient noise sensors, messages, fire and paging microphones, will all be indicated. This simple fault reporting enables problems to be dealt with quickly and efficiently as faults are displayed immediately on the screen - or even emailed (purchase of UNIdial is necessary for this option) - instead of in the usual manner of indicators at the rack or control microphone. UNItouch provides access to a full history log which clearly shows any system activity.

To add further flexibility, the optional UNIdial software (PCTS5) allows users to remotely dial into the UNItouch system (via a firewall supplied by the user) to provide remote / off-site diagnostics. UNIdial will allow the remote user to view the various screens including the fault and history log. Includes software only (NOTE: we strongly recommend that Baldwin Boxall engineers install/commission this software).

There are two versions of UNItouch available - Gold or Silver. UNItouch Gold displays full bitmap multi-layer graphics, providing a visual layout of the site, whereas UNItouch Silver presents the operator with rows of zone 'buttons'. Additionally, UNItouch Gold and UNItouch Silver are available with either the recommended touchscreen facility or, if preferred, can be provided with a standard TFT screen and mouse.

Cable requirements: two x 2 core screened 1.5 mm fire rated cable (one for data and one for line out/audio port). Each unit is supplied with a cable termination box.
