EVACU ELITE
INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING AND USER MANUAL
When an alarm signal is recognised, the EWS will respond by entering the emergency warning
condition and broadcasting emergency warning signals to the designated emergency zones in a pre-
configured sequence, referred to as phasing or sequencing. In addition to broadcasting the emergency
warning signals, the EWS can also activate warning devices (or fire alarm devices), which are Visual
Alarm Devices (VADs), Visual warning devices and vibrating devices
5.4.3.1 Delays
There is an option to delay the broadcast of emergency warning signals after the alarm signal is
received. If a delay is configured, then the DELAY indicator is illuminated (refer to section 5.3.5). When
the delay is active (after an alarm signal is received in an emergency zone which has a delay
programmed), the DELAY indicator shall flash, and the Delay Override indicator (section 5.1.9) is
illuminated. Once the delay has expired and the EWS has entered the emergency warning condition,
the indicators (DELAY and Delay Override) are extinguished, and remain off until the EWS is reset
from the emergency warning condition.
The Delays can be switched On and Off at the EWCIE. Refer to section 6.12.
The delays can be programmed on site, refer to section 6.4 and can be programmed as part of the
site configuration (SSD) – refer to MAN3142-1 EvacU

Programming Manual
5.4.3.2 Silence
To silence the broadcast, the SILENCE WARNING control must be activated at access level 2. Option
to silence the audio or visual broadcast or both. Refer to section 5.1.5.
5.4.3.3 Reset
To stop the phasing and silence the broadcast of emergency signals, the EWS can be reset from the
emergency warning condition using the RESET control. Refer to section 5.1.6. The emergency
warning condition must be silenced prior to operating the RESET control.
Note if alarm signals are present when the reset operation is complete, then once the reset operation
is complete, the EWS will respond to the alarm signals and commence phasing, subject to any
programmed delays.
5.4.4 Manual Operation
To manually control the EWS, the EWS must be in the MANUAL mode. In MANUAL mode the yellow
MANUAL indicator is illuminated steady. Refer to section 5.1.3.
To manually instigate the broadcast of emergency warning signals (alert and evacuation), then using
the All Call (refer to section 5.1.7) or individual (refer to section 5.1.12), controls select the required
signals to be broadcast to the emergency zones
To silence the broadcast, the SILENCE WARNING control must be activated at access level 2. Option
to silence the audio or visual broadcast or both. Refer to section 5.1.5.
If phasing is running when the EWS is switched to MANUAL mode, then the phasing is halted, and
will resume when the EWS is switched back to AUTOMATIC mode. Any emergency warning signals
manually activated in MANUAL mode shall continue to be broadcast until overridden by phasing with
a higher priority emergency warning signal (Evacuate will override Alert, Alert will not override
Evacuate)
Any alarm signals recognised while the EWS is in MANUAL mode shall be indicated. Refer to section
5.1.12. Phasing associated with these alarm signals is halted until the EWS is returned to AUTOMATIC
mode.
