to trigger Voice Aux events that can allow external audio to be played through the emergency system.
11.4.1
EVS Point Activations
EVS points can only activate outputs and be placed into an alarm state if the system is not in Manual EVS State.
EVS points have no priority and all are allowed to be activated. If the EVS point is a higher priority than the Fire
System, then the system will play the highest event message through all EVS mapped outputs.
For example: Emergency 1 Point Alarm is higher priority than Emergency 2 Point Alarm. Emergency 1 Point
Alarm has message 1 mapped to through groups 1 and 2. Emergency 2 Point Alarm has message 2 playing
through groups 2 and 3. If a point for Emergency 1 Point Alarm and a point for Emergency 2 Point Alarm are
both active, the system will play message 1 through groups 1, 2, and 3.
Once Manual EVS State is active, points in Alarm state switch to an Active state. When the points are changed to
the Active state, they do not activate any system mapping or turn any outputs on. Any points that are activated
while in Manual EVS are also placed into the Active state and are not allowed to activate any mapping. The
system idle screen will show an EVS Alarm for any points in the Active state, and the detailed description of the
point will show the point as Active.
After an EVS Reset, any EVS points that are still active will again be put into Alarm.

EVS-VCM & EVS-RVM Points
The EVS-VCM and EVS-RVM modules contain two programmable input points. These also have the ability to
be programmed as a trigger for bringing external audio into the system. These special point types are: Voice Aux
EVS and Voice Aux Status. When activated, if the event has the highest Event Priority of all activated events,
these points will activate the Aux In input to all outputs defined by the respective event program mapping.
Note: Background Music is only allowed to be mapped to circuit 8 of the EVS-100W amplifiers to ensure correct
active supervision.
11.5 Amplifier Programming
11.5.1
Adding an Amplifier
To add a new amplifier to the system, follow these steps:
1.
Enter the installer code. The panel will automatically go to the main menu.
2.
Select 7 for Program Menu.
3.
Press 1 to enter Module menu.
4.
Press 2 to add a module.
5.
From the next screen, select desired amplifier.
The screen will display “Adding module [#]...” for a few moments. You will be
returned to the <New Module Type> screen where you can select another module if desired.
You must save changes when you exit the Program Menu or the new module will not be added. For more
information see section 9.2.2.
If you Add a Module that has not been physically connected, the panel will go into trouble after it re-initial-
izes (when you exit the Program Menu with changes accepted). When the new module is attached, the trou-
ble will restore automatically the next time you power up the FACP.
11.5.2
Editing an Amplifier
When editing amplifiers, the features that may be edited are (dependent upon amplifier model): module ID,
module name, EVS-CE4 Exp installed (Yes or No), output voltage, and amp mode. To edit an existing module:
