MPA-2000 Series PA/GA System

Public Address and General Alarm System for on and offshore applications

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Public address system is a marine and offshore PA/GA system. The Public Address System (PA) and General Alarm System (GA) are very important in ensuring the safety of facilities and people on board. The system must be able to address emergency situations accurately and seamlessly, integraed with various other alarm system. In particular, this system is designed to respond precisely to emergency situations through the connection with various alarm systems. In explosion endangered areas, an exploison-proof speaker or an intrinsically safe microphone is supposed to operate.

The PAGA system abides by the following regulations ;

1. International Electro-Technical Commission (IEC).
2. International Maritime Organization (IMO) SOLAS.
3. Nautical Safety (Rules for the Classsification of Ships, DNV)

This system was tested at the IEC60945 standard and approved for CE by DNV.
