PRA-APAS Engineering Datasheet
PRA-APAS Engineering Datasheet
An advanced public-address server that adds music, scheduling, and multilingual announcements to a PRAESENSA system.
Hand operators a richer way to address the building. This advanced public-address server runs as a dedicated industrial PC alongside a PRAESENSA system, letting connected operator devices control announcements and background music by zone — from internal memory, music portals, or internet radio. It schedules messages, records live calls with pre-monitoring, and converts text to speech in multiple languages. Two Ethernet ports keep the life-safety network separate from the corporate one, and it streams up to 10 AES67 channels to the controller. Emergency functions always take priority.
