Merlaud MIP-EVAC16 IP EVAC And Fire Alarm

Description

Merlaud IP EVAC Fire Alarm Interface MIP-EVAC16 connects a building’s fire alarm or EVAC panel to an IP-based voice alarm system across up to 16 parallel zones in Bangladesh. Six trigger channels, supporting both 0V and 24V logic, let it interface with a range of existing fire alarm control panels, firing individual voice alerts locally or over the network.

Key Features of Merlaud IP EVAC Fire Alarm Interface MIP-EVAC16

• 6 trigger channels for IP EVAC and fire alarm signals: Connects directly to an existing fire alarm or EVAC control panel.
• 0V and 24V trigger mode support: Compatible with different fire alarm panel logic types without extra conversion hardware.
• Individual voice alarm per channel: Each trigger channel can carry its own distinct alert message.
• 16 channels of parallel voice alarm with individual sound: Broadcasts different messages to different zones from the same triggering event.
• Task definition and control via IP: Zone assignments and alert content are configured and managed over the network.
• Local button or IP triggering: Alerts can be fired by a physical button on-site or remotely over the network.
• Built-in 3W monitor speaker: Lets staff confirm exactly what is being broadcast without needing separate monitoring equipment.
• Communication delay under 50 milliseconds: Keeps triggered alerts synchronized across all connected zones.
• 4 built-in timing program schedules and USB port: Adds automated scheduling plus USB playback and firmware upgrade support.

Why Choose Merlaud IP EVAC Fire Alarm Interface MIP-EVAC16?

When a fire alarm panel activates, this unit is the bridge that turns that signal into a spoken evacuation message across the right zones, with each of its 16 parallel channels able to carry a different message where that is required by the building layout.

Because triggers can be defined and controlled over IP, or fired locally by a physical button, the system keeps working even if the network management interface is temporarily unreachable, and a built-in 3W monitor speaker lets on-site staff confirm what is actually being broadcast.

Real-world performance note: Bangladesh commercial buildings and factories often integrate fire alarm panels from different manufacturers and eras, with inconsistent trigger logic. Supporting both 0V and 24V trigger modes on all 6 channels means the MIP-EVAC16 can interface with a wider range of existing fire alarm control panels without requiring a full panel replacement.

Who Should Buy Merlaud IP EVAC Fire Alarm Interface MIP-EVAC16?

• Fire-safety consultants and system integrators specifying IP-based voice evacuation for buildings in Dhaka.
• Facility managers upgrading an existing fire alarm panel to add zone-specific voice announcements.
• Building owners of factories or multi-story sites in Gazipur or Narayanganj needing 0V/24V compatibility with legacy fire panels.
• AV integrators combining this interface with Merlaud’s MIP-SER workstation or MIP-ERS16-LS line supervision.
• Not recommended for: buyers seeking a certified fire alarm control panel; this device interfaces with one, it does not replace it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Merlaud MIP-EVAC16 connect to a fire alarm panel?

MIP-EVAC16 connects to a fire alarm or EVAC panel through 6 trigger channels, each supporting 0V or 24V logic. Tasks and zone assignments are defined and managed over the network via IP, and triggers can also be fired locally by physical button.

How many zones can receive different voice alarm messages?

It supports up to 16 parallel voice-alarm channels, and each channel can carry its own individual sound content, so different zones can receive different evacuation or announcement messages from the same event.

Does the MIP-EVAC16 replace a certified fire alarm control panel?

No. The MIP-EVAC16 is an interface that connects fire alarm or EVAC trigger signals to an IP-based voice alarm network. It does not replace a certified fire alarm control panel, and building-specific fire-code compliance should be confirmed with a qualified fire-safety engineer.

Turn your building’s fire alarm signal into clear, zone-specific voice evacuation messages instead of a single generic tone. The Merlaud IP EVAC Fire Alarm Interface MIP-EVAC16 bridges existing panels to an IP voice alarm network. Contact us today to discuss the MIP-EVAC16 for your site.
