dbx ZC-FIRE - Wall-Mount Zone Controller with Fire Safety Interface and Muting for ZonePro Devices in Red Finish

The dbx ZC-FIRE Wall-Mount Zone Controller is an advanced device specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with dbx ZonePRO systems, offering crucial functionality for environments where fire safety and audio control are paramount. This controller is engineered to provide not only standard zone control but also specialized fire safety integration, making it ideal for commercial and institutional settings where safety protocols are a top priority.

One of the standout features of the ZC-FIRE is its fire safety interface. This controller can connect to a fire safety system either through a relay or directly via control voltage output. This capability ensures that the ZC-FIRE can effectively mute audio outputs or activate programmable scene selection in the event of a fire alarm or other emergency situations. This functionality is crucial for ensuring that audio systems can be swiftly and reliably deactivated or adjusted to enhance safety during emergencies.

The ZC-FIRE provides programmable muting or scene selection for dbx ZonePRO devices. This versatility allows users to configure the controller for various applications, such as muting all audio channels to ensure clear emergency announcements or switching to a specific scene that facilitates emergency procedures. The controller's flexibility in handling these scenarios makes it a valuable tool in maintaining operational safety and compliance with emergency protocols.

For ease of installation, the ZC-FIRE utilizes analog DC voltage for logic control and connects via CAT5 or CAT5E cables using RJ-45 connectors. It supports cable lengths of up to 1000 feet, with configurations such as 600 feet for three controllers or 300 feet for six controllers. This allows for extensive and adaptable installation in larger or more complex environments.

The device is equipped with DIP switches that facilitate straightforward identification and configuration when connecting to the processing device. This feature simplifies setup and ensures that the ZC-FIRE can be quickly and accurately integrated into existing systems.

Finished in a striking red color, the ZC-FIRE is designed to be easily recognizable, making it an effective visual indicator for fire safety control. The device's red finish also ensures that it stands out in emergency situations, facilitating quick access and operation by safety personnel.

In terms of safety and performance, the ZC-FIRE adheres to stringent industry standards, including UL 60065, IEC 60065, EN 55013, and E60065 certifications. These certifications ensure that the controller meets high standards of safety and reliability, making it a dependable choice for critical applications.

Overall, the dbx ZC-FIRE Wall-Mount Zone Controller provides essential fire safety integration and versatile audio control, making it an indispensable component in environments where safety and audio management are of utmost importance.
