Northern Adventure Ferry, 117 meters long, displaces 5,983 tonnes of water, with a car capacity of 101, and a passenger and crew capacity of 600.
This installation primarily involved replacing the original paging and alarm system with a modernized system in order to improve paging quality and safety.
The existing system was not suitable for reliable continuous performance. The system had to meet Transport Canada and SOLAS regulations for a fully redundant, self‐monitored paging and emergency announcement system.
BC Ferries’ chose to use TOA’s VM‐2000 Series System Management Amplifier. Eighteen VM‐2240 Amplifiers were installed on the Northern Adventure with a nineteenth amplifier being used as back‐up. A total output of 4,320 watts is delivered to a combination of over 440 TOA H‐2 Interior Design Speakers and SC‐615T Paging Horns under speaker line supervision using the optional SV‐200 internal speaker line supervision card.
British Columbia Ferry Services Inc. is pleased with the system’s flexibility and performance in a function of crucial importance to the operation of the Northern Adventure.
