3 System overview
Cerberus PACE Compact is a network-based voice alarm and announcement
system that complies with the requirements of EN 54-16 and allows for a
decentralized and redundant system structure. It is an important feature of the
system that the critical risks of single point of failure vulnerabilities are eliminated.
A typical Cerberus PACE Compact system is comprised of digital audio matrices,
amplifiers, operating terminals, and call stations. Ethernet switches are used to link
these components to a network via copper or fiber-optic cables.
Cerberus PACE Compact systems are configured in real-time using the 'PACE-
Design' system software.
An EN 54-4-certified power supply guarantees uninterrupted operation and high
system availability.
