ACU TRANSFER OF CONTROL

Activation and Control of the MNS functions is required to 
be restricted to only one location at one time. During an 
MNS event, the location of the Active Control displays on 
all NGA display locations. The ACU can override any LOC-
In-Control and can seize control at anytime.

If an MNS state is already in effect and the Control status 
resides in an LOC, the Operator at the ACU may override 
the LOC by the activation of any ASM-16 button dedicated 
to any Mass Notification function.

To Transfer Control to the ACU, the Operator does the 
following:
1.

Press any configured switch on the ASM-16 to 
relinquish control from an LOC.

2.

On the ASM-16, the red LED (next to the configured 
switch) turns off and the green LED turns on. 

3.

After the green LED (next to the configured switch) 
turns on, the Operator can take control of the ACU.

RESET PAGE

To reset the Page or MIC, do the following:
1.

Press Switch 9 on the ASM-16.

2.

On Switch 9, the red and green LEDs turn on.

3.

Key the MIC, on the ASM-16, the green LED turns off 
and the yellow and red LEDs turn on.

4.

Release the MIC, on the ASM-16, the yellow LED 
turns off and the red LED remains on.

5.

To reset the Page, do either of the following:
• Press Switch 9 on the ASM-16.
• Wait until the preconfigured Time-Out occurs.

6.

After the page is reset, on the ASM-16, the red LED 
turns off and the green LED turns on.
