1 Technical Description

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The BVRAMB Ambient Noise Sensing Microphone monitors the

ambient noise in a given area that enables the Public Address /

Voice Alarm system to change the volume to maintain

intelligibility.

The BVRAMB uses a Dynamic Microphone capsule, the output of

which is amplified and converted to produce a variable current

output. The amplifier used to convert the signal has band pass

filtering that ensures the system only responds to ambient noise

that affects the intelligibility of announcements.

An on-board Surveillance Tone Generator permanently monitors

the microphone capsule. A system fault will be announced should

the microphone capsule or on board amplifier fail.

The BVRAMB includes an option to allow one of three response

speeds to be selected.

If the Slow response is selected the system will only respond to an

average change of Ambient Noise.

If Fast is selected the system will react to short duration changes

in Ambient Noise.

Medium response is suitable for most installations.

2.1 POSITIONING THE BVRAMB UNITS

The position of the BVRAMB units is important to ensure the

optimum operation of the system.

The BVRAMB microphones need to be placed as close to the

source of the ambient noise as possible, while remaining as far

from the system loudspeakers as possible. They must not be

positioned within the dispersion angle of loudspeakers, or close

to any permanent noise source such as air conditioning units, fruit

machines etc.

If used in rooms with high ceilings, the BVRAMB units should be

placed closer to the floor than the ceiling.

CAUTION

The BVRAMB Ambient Noise Microphone is not waterproof and

must only be mounted in a position where it will remain dry.

2.2 INSTALLATION

The BVRAMB unit is mounted in a standard double gang surface

mount back-box. Knockouts are located in all sides of the box,

however please refer to Figure 2.1 for the available gland

locations due to the position of internal components.

Figure 2.1 — Available gland locations (front panel removed)

2.3 CONNECTION DETAILS

As the BVRAMB Ambient Noise Microphone converts the

ambient noise level to a variable current output only three wires

are required to connect the BVRAMB to the BVRD2M or

BVRDCI module.

The cables should have a conductor cross sectional area of 1.0mm

or greater, and for VA systems should be fire rated.

If required, two BVRAMB Ambient Noise Microphones can be

wired in parallel on the same input to monitor the ambient noise

over a larger area.

When two units are wired in parallel a 5.6KΩcompensation

resistor must be fitted to ensure the signal level accurately

represents the level of ambient noise.

Typical connection details are shown in Figure 2.2 for BVRD2M

and Figure 2.3 for BVRDCI.

In both examples the first two units are shown paralleled to the

first input with the 5.6KΩcompensation resistor fitted.
