PA/GA T-B system

AFRODYTA is the PA/GA T-B system that provides both the one-way and two-way communication on the ship for announcing the verbal messages and alarms as well as the communication between the subscriber substations, loudspeakers and the MCS-20 microphone stations. The loudspeaker lines are of the 100V standard to connect a large number of the loudspeakers. The digital feedback line provides the communication between the subscriber substations and the central block and the MCS-20 stations.

The broadcasting system was designed to provide the announcements for the open decks and the underdeck spaces of the vessels. Its modular structure allows the system to be installed in the various hardware configurations according to the requirements for a given type of unit.

The design was based on proprietary solutions used in the Integrated Communication System (KenBIT’s NEPTUN ICS) using the experience gained during many years of servicing various broadcasting systems used onboard the Polish Navy and the NATO units.

The system consists of the MCS-20 microphone stations, the ACM-8 alarm panels, MSB subscriber stations with Talk-Back (TB) system, the cabin loudspeakers and the on-board loudspeakers.

In the year 2021 our AFRODYTA PA/GA TB public address and general alarm system successfully passed the process of the EMC and climatic-mechanical tests (including the salt mist endurance test). As the result it has obtained the Product Type Approval Certificate of the Polish Register of Shipping (PRS).
