Hmi-26 Technical Manual
SONIX HMI26 TECHNICAL MANUAL
TM375 / A June 2022 www.eaton.com
4.4 Making a speech broadcast
Speech broadcasts on Sonix systems are made up of
three parts;
•
the audio from the user,
•
a priority set by the access panel/source, and
•
a zone map to define where the broadcast needs
to go.
4.4.1 Priority
The priority within the Sonix PA/GA is a two-part
system:
1. Firstly, the activity type has a basic priority order:
•
Emergency Speech (Higher)
•
Alarms
•
Routine Speech (Lower)
2. Secondly, the audio source unit has priority number
ranging from 1 to 31, where 1 is the lowest and 31 is
the highest priority.
Warning:
Priority is confi gured on a unit basis
and must be unique across the system to the
controller it is connected to. The Hmi-26 should
have both A & B sides, if both are in use, set to
the same priority.

4.4.2 Zoning
Before activating PTT to make an announcement, the
user can select the required zoning for the broadcast.
This is achieved by pressing the zone button associated
with the required zones. Each button has a toggle action
with the selection being held for between 2 and 6
seconds or indefi nitely *.
* Warning:
If confi guring an Hmi-26 to have no zoning
timeout, i.e. toggle only, please note that the alarm
activation and emergency speech buttons will also
follow any pre-selected zone buttons and will NOT be
All-Call as might be expected.
Figure 12 - Available zone buttons
The associated LEDs with each zone button display
the status of the system and local access panel for the
zones they have been confi gured to work with, i.e. if
a zone button is confi gured to be All-Call it will only
illuminate when the system is generating All-Call.
Zone button LEDs have the following states:
•
Not active – Configured Zone(s) are not active on the
system
•
Fast Flashing Orange & Fast Flashing Yellow – Button
is pre-selected for broadcast
•
Flashing Orange – Configured Zone(s) have an Alarm
active
•

broadcast active
•

speech active over the top
•

active from the local panel
•
