Note: The lockout timer must be programmed to expire sometime other than Never.
2. The user at the second LOC requests ECS Control from the LOC with ECS Control and that LOC grants the
request. (See Section 11.2.7). If the ECS lockout timer expires while an ECS Control request is in progress,
the system will automatically pass ECS Control to the requesting LOC.
3. The user at the second LOC enters an access code with the ECS Super User profile option.
The LOC lockout timer can be set between immediate and 12 hours in increments of 1 second or it can be set to
never expire. The default setting is 30 seconds. The LOC lockout timer is restarted upon any key press at the
LOC with ECS control. The LOC lockout timer is cleared when ECS Control is relinquished.
11.2.2.3 User Profile Access Control
The user will need to enter an access code containing the ECS Control Request or ECS Super User profile option
to gain ECS Control. ECS Control Request and ECS Super User profile options will be mutually exclusive to the
system. If the access code has ECS Super User, the ECS Control Request is ignored and activations by that user
are always as ECS Super User.
11.2.3 Manual ECS
After gaining ECS Control the system enters the LOC ECS interface which allows you to activate the Emergency
System and allows for Emergency Paging. Once an emergency event has been activated the panel enters a
Manual ECS State. In this state, all ECS Alarm programmed points that are currently in alarm in the system are
changed to an active state. The display status screen reflects this when viewing the system for status. Any outputs
that were activated by the ECS Alarm programmed points are deactivated until Manual ECS state is exited. Only
an ECS Reset can exit the Manual ECS State. If a user gains ECS Control at an LOC and does not activate an
ECS message, the system will automatically generate an ECS Supervisory indicating such. This prevents an
LOC from being in an undesired state of ECS Control when an actual event emerges.
There are two modes for interacting with the LOC ECS interface when in Manual ECS State:
1. Message Mode
2. Microphone Mode
These two modes allow you to quickly toggle areas of output for a desired message or to speak to a microphone
for ECS Paging.
After gaining ECS Control, the system is in Message Mode of the Manual ECS State.
11.2.3.1 Switching between Microphone Mode and Message Mode
At any time while in ECS Control, you can switch between Microphone Mode and Message Mode. Microphone
Mode is entered by simply engaging the microphone.
1. Message Mode: Use the ECS Message keys to toggle which message/event to output to the system. Use the
Select Keys to toggle output areas to play the current ECS Message in. The Select Key's red LED will toggle
on/off with the activation/deactivation of the area is now receiving the message. Any non-voice groups
assigned to this Select Key will also toggle with their Activation Cadence. See Section11.2.3.2.
2. Microphone Mode: Use the Select Keys while the microphone is active to toggle which areas to do an ECS
Microphone Page to. The Select Key's green LED will toggle on/off with the activation/deactivation of the
ECS Microphone Page to the area.
11.2.3.2 Activating Output Groups Dynamically
This method allows the system to be setup with minimal or no system mapping. When in Manual ECS State and
