Bosch develops PRA-SCS controller for medium-sized applications

The Praesensa public address and voice alarm system Bosch has a new small system controller option, PRA-SCS model, to optimize the components of this system, Improve operational efficiency and reduce your total cost.

The new small system controller PRA-SCS of Bosch It is developed for medium-sized applications, providing more options to design a public address and voice alarm solution Praesensa bespoke, Value-oriented, in sectors such as hospitality, Education, Retail stores and commercial buildings.

Bosch PRA-SCS Monitor all features related within an IP-based Praesensa system, including routing of all audio connections between networked audio sources and destinations. In addition, Manage emergency calls and alerts, Collects device status information and generates crash reports.

This small system controller also plays messages and tones stored in Flash memory and manages background music streams along with business and emergency calls according to their priority level and zone occupancy.

The controller is equipped with a Real-time internal clock, can schedule events and has timecode marking on events with network time protocol support (NTP) and automatic daylight saving time adjustment (DST).

The PRA-SCS Small System Controller, identical to its higher-end equivalent, PRA-SCL, Provides multi-channel audio and an easy-to-use browser-based control interface. This equipment has a multifunction power supply with integrated battery backup and fits into centralized or decentralized system topologies.

The communication of the system is based on the Omneo IP architecture over an encrypted IP network, ensuring robust and reliable data protection and security.

Connections to other devices in the system are established via an integrated switch, Five-port, that supports Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and has an open interface for third-party applications.

PRA-SCS can function as a single system controller, as part of a redundant system controller concept for uninterrupted system availability and even as a subsystem controller in a multi-subnet system.

It also offers the same set of powerful features as its larger equivalent., but for a lower price, Especially suitable for small or medium-sized installations due to two restrictions: You can assign a maximum of six amplifiers for up to 48 zones when used with PRA-AD608 amplifiers.

The second is that although it supports the same eight external channels Dante/AES67 input/output, including encryption and decryption, does not offer the 112 Additional static Dante input channels available on the larger controller.
