Original Press Release:



Bosch Extends Reach of Praesideo Public Address and Emergency Sound System with New Remote Call Station



Bosch Security Systems is enhancing its acclaimed Praesideo Public Address and Emergency sound system with a new Remote Call Station and Call Station Interface that use CAT-5 (Category 5) cabling. The new technology provides extended reach of the system and gives more flexibility in system design. The Remote Call Stations can be located up to one kilometer away from the Call Station Interface.

The use of CAT-5 cabling, the industry standard for data communications in computer and IP networks. Other advantages of using CAT-5 cabling are that it does not add to the Praesideo's system bus length and it makes call station installation easier.

The new Remote Call Station - the LBB4438/00 - has the same functionality as the existing Basic Call Station. Among key features are support of fail-safe mode, high-quality digital audio and the fact that it is configurable via the Praesideo network controller through a web browser interface. The new call station can be powered either by the Call Station Interface or from a local power supply if a large number of keypads are to be used at long distance. The LBB4438/00 can be extended with up to 16 keypads each with eight configurable keys.

The Call Station Interface is also new and is specially designed to accept the CAT-5 digital audio and control data connection with the Remote Call Station, and to connect to the Praesideo's optical fiber network. Both the LBB4438/00 Remote Call Station and the LBB4437/00 Call Station Interface are fully supervised and comply with IEC60849, the European standard for voice alarm systems.

Maximal flexibility in system design
Bosch's Praesideo is one of the most advanced and comprehensive Public Address and Emergency sound systems available. It is IEC60849 certified by the independent and internationally recognized TUV Product Service GmbH testing authority in Germany.

Praesideo uses an optical fiber network configuration that allows optimal freedom in system design. This flexible system architecture permits any type of equipment to be located wherever required in a building. In addition, multiple systems can be easily connected and controlled over TCP/IP using optical or standard UTP copper cabling. Distributed signal processing enables the central system unit - the network controller - to concentrate on functions such as supervision, routing announcements, background music and pre-recorded messages.

The addition of the new Remote Call Station, interface and call Station Kit to the Praesideo system fulfils the requirement for Public Address and Emergency Sound installations in medium to large buildings or complexes where multiple call stations need to be located at some distance from the main system.
