Modern desktop computer setup with monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a virtual app interface (no visible text or symbols on the main device)The Windows PC DXT 3000 Planner software allows configuring small and medium VOICEALARM systems in accordance to the regulations (prescriptive method), using EN 54-24 loudspeakers and EN 54-16 management electronics of the RCF DXT 3000 Series (250W and 500W models; 2, 4 and 6 zones, in stand-alone or networked configuration) and related accessories.
RCF DXT 3000 Planner performs all the mathematical calculations automatically for low reverberant environments with reduced background noise. The algorithms are derived from the standards UNI-ISO 7240-19 and UNI-CEN / TS 54-32, which allow the use of the Prescriptive Method in the acoustic design of a Voice Alarm system in spaces without acoustic issues.
DXT 3000 Planner is interactive, allowing even the less experienced user to obtain excellent results. In a few steps, the software suggests the list of components necessary for the configuration of the entire system, from the integrated control center to the optimization of the acoustic loudspeakers, providing primary indications about their positioning. The resulting document can also be used as specifications to support the economic proposal.
- Assign the name to the project and confirm the necessary parameters. Then add the optional requirements required by the system designer and define the Zones. In any case it is possible to move freely back and forth in the project, between Zones and ADAs (Acoustically Distinguishable Areas), and modify the choices made. The project, saved, can be recalled at any time.


- For each Zone, set the number of ADAs on which it is structured. There is the possibility of identifying areas and Zones by giving them a name.


- In the zone page, where you select the number of ADA, you can enter the total length of the 100V line, from the amplifier to the last speaker of the most remote ADA (the cable that connects all the speakers in daisy chain) of all the ADA belonging to the same area. The software calculates the 100V cable section to contain the losses within 10% (1 dB). The section in mm2 is meant for each of the two copper wires.

- Then choose the model of the speaker you prefer to be used, by privileging if possible the ceiling installation, as it offers a more homogeneous and comfortable diffusion. Then select whether your environment is a corridor or a regular room. Finally, set the dimensions of the room or its area in square metre (in the latter case the program will hypothesize a form factor). If desired, it is possible to force the sound pressure level above the one automatically calculated by the program to fulfil the standards, by increasing the power delivered to the speaker (by tapping up the loudspeaker).

- The result of all the above-mentioned deployment produces a PDF document containing the list of the EN 54 certified products necessary for the project. For each ADA a lists of the speakers with their possible theoretical distribution pattern in the environment is provided, in addition to the power tapping to set the speakers themselves.
