IP Fire Alarm Interface Module for Warning and Audio Systems – 32 Inputs, 8 Outputs, TCP/IP, 19" Rack 1U
IP fire alarm interface module is designed for the integration of fire alarm systems with IP-based warning, public address, voice evacuation and audio notification systems. The device provides 32 alarm input channels, 8 alarm output channels, RJ45 Ethernet TCP/IP communication and a standard 19" rack 1U mounting format. It is suitable for schools, factories, warehouses, administrative buildings, hospitals, transport terminals and other facilities where automatic emergency notification and multi-zone warning control are required.
Main idea:
This module allows fire alarm control panels to be connected to IP warning and audio systems. When a fire alarm signal is received, the device transmits information to the server and enables predefined actions, such as activating warning zones, triggering evacuation messages or sending control signals to connected systems.Alarm inputs

19" rack, 1UOperating principle
The module receives signals from a fire alarm system through 32 alarm input channels. Once an alarm signal is detected, the unit automatically transmits the event information to the server over the Ethernet TCP/IP network. The server can then activate predefined actions such as warning announcements, evacuation audio messages, selected zone notifications or facility-wide emergency broadcasting.
The 8 alarm outputs can be used for short-circuit output control and integration with additional field devices or system interfaces. Thanks to the ARM + DSP dual-core architecture, the device starts quickly and provides a startup time of less than 3 seconds, which is important for critical warning and emergency communication systems.
Why is this module useful?
It provides a practical bridge between traditional fire alarm control panels and modern IP-based warning, public address and voice evacuation systems. The module helps automate emergency notifications, reduce operator intervention and support multi-zone evacuation or warning scenarios.Technical specifications

Where is it used?
- Fire alarm system integration – connects fire alarm signals to IP-based warning and evacuation systems.
- Voice evacuation systems – enables automatic playback of pre-recorded emergency messages.
- Public address and notification systems – allows warning notifications in selected zones or across the entire facility.
- Industrial and commercial buildings – suitable for factories, warehouses, offices, schools, hospitals and terminals.
- BMS and safety infrastructure – can be integrated into wider building management and emergency warning systems.
Functions
Automatic fire alarm processing: when a signal is received from the fire alarm system, the module automatically transmits information to the server and initiates predefined actions.
Multi-zone warning control: allows warning notifications to be activated in selected zones or throughout the entire facility simultaneously.
IP network integration: operates over an Ethernet network and supports routing between different network segments.
Pre-recorded emergency messages: warning and evacuation audio files can be stored on the server and automatically played when an alarm is triggered.
System expansion: the modular architecture allows additional IP interface modules to be connected for larger installations.
Fast system startup: the ARM + DSP platform ensures a startup time of less than 3 seconds.
Practical installation example
For example, the module is installed in a 19" communication or automation rack and connected to a fire alarm control panel. Fire alarm signals are connected to the 32 input channels, while the network port connects the module to the IP audio system server through an Ethernet TCP/IP network.
When an alarm is triggered, the server can automatically start evacuation messages, activate selected loudspeaker zones, send warning notifications to the entire facility or control additional devices through the output channels.
Applications by user group
For electricians: the device enables convenient integration of fire alarm control panels with voice warning systems, evacuation loudspeakers, sirens and other field devices. The standard 1U rack format simplifies installation in communication and automation cabinets.
For engineers and system designers: suitable for designing public warning systems, voice evacuation systems, school and university warning networks, factory and warehouse fire safety systems, administrative building infrastructures, hospitals, airports and transportation terminals. The 32 inputs and 8 outputs enable the design of complex multi-zone systems.
For safety and building management professionals: the module can be integrated with fire alarm systems, voice evacuation systems, public address and notification systems, BMS, security infrastructure and emergency warning solutions.
