Introducing Cerberus PACE Compact
Cerberus PACE – Public Address and Controlled Evacuation
In commercial and public buildings, life safety must always be the highest
priority. Effectively moving people out of harm’s way in case of an emergency
is largely a matter of communication – which is why public address and
voice alarm (PA/VA) systems in these buildings aren’t just a useful tool for
announcements, entertainment or live moderation but an integral part of
the safety infrastructure.
With Cerberus PACE, you can cover all your PA/VA needs with a single solution.
It was designed with the specic convenience and emergency applications in
modern businesses and organizations in mind, from ambient music to public
speaking to guided evacuation. Thanks to its state-of-the-art modular and
scalable system architecture, Cerberus PACE can be customized for buildings
of all types and sizes and offers unique benets that will reliably ensure the
safety and comfort of your employees, visitors and guests 24/7.

–List of all speaker lines (including wattage)
–Line wiring (A, B or loop)
– Single channel (one audio signal active at
a time) or multi channel (2 and more audio
signals active at a time)
–Grouping of speaker lines
–List of call stations
Enter all information in the planning tool
Our Excel based planning tool veries the
entries and proposes a proper system con-
guration.
Order your system
By using the summery list out of the planning
tool, the correct numbers of components can
be ordered.
System planning in three steps
Every building has its own requirements when it comes to a PA/VA system. Ensure that you have all relevant information,
so that our planning tool can help you to create a tting system conguration.
Speaker line structures
Depending on the customer requirements and desired level of redundancy, several options are available for the speaker lines.
From single to double stubs, trees, and loops with or without isolators, all major designs are possible. End-of-line modules
ensure the speaker lines are functioning correctly, continuously checking their integrity and notifying should there be a fault.

Multi-redundancy
To ensure failure safety for all applications, Cerberus PACE Compact can incorporate all redundancy levels from individual
backup components up to a complete double structure. Moreover, the network can be made redundant by expanding the
EN 54-16 standard single loop network topology to a double loop / double tree topology or combinations thereof.
