LBB 1965/00 Plena Message
Manager
The Plena message manager is a high performance, highly
versatile stand-alone digital message player. Applications range
from spot announcements in supermarkets and theme parks to
warning and evacuation messages in emergency situations.
Features
• Highly flexible stand-alone digital message player
• Up to 12 messages and 12 trigger inputs
• Uploads messages from a PC in WAV-format
• Compliant with standards for emergency sound systems
• Zone control for Plena system pre-amplifier LBB 1925/10
• Front panel control and remote control
Functions
Messages
Up to 12 messages can be stored in the internal 64Mbit
EEPROM, without the need for data retention battery backup.
Each message can have any length within the total available
capacity. Messages and configurations are uploaded from a PC
via RS-232 into the memory, after which the unit operates
without PC connection. The standard WAV-format is used for
the messages, and sample rates of 8 kHz up to 24 kHz with
16-bit word length (linear PCM) are supported. This gives up to
500 s of recording time with CD-quality signal-to-noise ratio. The
use of linear PCM instead of some sort of compressed audio
format (like MP3, ADPCM and u-law/A-law) ensures high-quality
playback of all types of audio signals, including sound effects
and special tones, e.g. attention chimes.
The unit has 12 contact closure trigger inputs for
announcements. Each can be configured for a sequence of up
to 4 messages out of the available ones. In this way some
messages may be used in different combinations with other
messages, optimizing flexibility and used storage space.
Together with this sequence, for each trigger input, a zone
selection can be configured for the LBB 1925/10, the Plena 6-
zone system pre-amplifier. The LBB 1965/00 communicates this
selection to the LBB 1925/10 via an RS-232 link. Continuous
activation of a trigger input repeats the corresponding message
sequence.
Trigger Inputs
The trigger inputs have a serial priority, i.e. input 1 has priority
over input 2, input 2 over input 3, et cetera. The high priority
trigger inputs 1-6 are only accessible as contacts on the rear
panel to avoid accidental use. The lower priority trigger inputs
7-12 are also available as trigger switches on the front panel.
Emergency and Evacuation Messages
The LBB 1965/00 can also be used for playing emergency/
evacuation messages; it fulfills the IEC60849 standard. The
content of all messages is constantly being supervised. The
microcontroller uses a watchdog circuit. The D/A-converter is
supervised by a low-frequency pilot tone. The high-priority
trigger inputs 1-6 can be set to be supervised for cable shorts
and breaks. The mains input availability is supervised. A 24 V
battery back-up connection with automatic switch-over is
provided. Plus, a 20 kHz pilot tone can be mixed with the output
signal for supervision of the link to the next amplifier and even for
loudspeaker supervision in combination with 20 kHz detectors.
Any failure results in a red LED fault indication and activation of a
fault output contact.
Loop Trough Facility
The LBB 1965/00 provides a loop-through facility with balanced
XLR and unbalanced Cinch inputs and outputs. This allows for
insertion of the unit into an existing audio link. As long as no
announcements are playing the signal input is routed to the
output. If an announcement is started, the input signal is
interrupted and the announcement is routed to the output.
Updating
Messages and configuration settings are uploaded from a PC.
After uploading, the configuration for trigger inputs/switches
7-12 can be updated by using just the front-panel switches,
without the need for a new upload or even a PC.
A headphone connection is provided for monitoring the
message content.
