Paging Console
Owner‘s Manual 13
Selective Alarm
A selective alarms allows to transmit alarm signals into selected lines.
Similar to the procedure for making a selective call you first have to select areas or groups to which the
alarm signal shall be transmitted. Afterwards, pressing the covered ALARM key starts the selective alarm.
The button lights during the transmission of an alarm. Already now, you are able to enter the lines for the
following alarm.
Pressing the STOP button cancels the alarm.
Canceling Signals
Pressing the STOP button cancels alarms, gong signals and text message transmissions. The functionality
of the STOP button (e.g. priority, local events) is configurable via IRIS-Net. Events can only be terminated
at the paging station they were launched from with the exception of the directing terminal (paging console
with the highest priority). Through the directing station it is possible to cancel any signal in progress.
System ON / OFF
The ON button switches a PROMATRIX 8000 system ON or OFF. Mostly, it is not intended that any paging
station be provided with the possibility to do so. Thus, this function can be programmed via IRIS-Net.
When the system is in stand-by mode, the ON LED is off. Pressing the ON button turns the PROMATRIX
8000 system’s power on which can take several seconds, while the ON LED is blinking. Once the system
is ready for operation, the ON LED lights continuously (which also applies for all paging stations of the
entire installation).
To switch the system OFF, you have to press the ON button for approximately 3 second. This is to prevent
inadvertently turning off the system.
Pressing an ALARM button or igniting an alarm sequence at external terminals automatically switches the
PROMATRIX 8000 system’s power on and boots the system.
Program Assignment
Activating this feature during the PC-configuration procedure allows the assignment of programs to
individual areas and groups of the entire installation during the PC-configuration procedure.
1. Set the paging station to program assign mode by pressing the PROGRAM button.
2. Select the program by pressing the
n
or
p
key.
NOTE:
The launch of an alarm does not depend on a paging console’s priority setting it had
been activated from. Launching an alarm is possible from any microphone terminal at
any time, even when the system is in stand-by mode. A running alarm is optically and
occasionally also acoustically indicated at every paging station.
