Term
Definition
Global Settings
A group of configuration settings accessed through the “System Properties”
section that governs overall operation of the controller.
Inhibit Group
A group of inputs inhibited by another input.
Insert 1 and 2
An audio processor such as an equalizer or feedback eliminator connected to the
Elemec3
system, inserted into one of the two mix channels.
I/O Controller
A class of
Elemec3
devices that accepts voltage-free input contacts (for event
activation, etc.) and provides outputs having DPDT relays (employed to control
beacons, to mute speakers, or to provide signals to external equipment).
IP Destination
A multicast destination for IP audio.
Live Speech Event
An Event that provides for live speech broadcast.
Locations
Optional text description of device physical location within site.
Mix 1/Mix 2
The two audio channels in the controller that provide audio to the amplifiers.
Mute
To discontinue broadcast audio(see the muting button—access panel mute setup
and manage global mutes sections)
N+1 System
A duplicated (A-B) type system in which the B system contains no amplifiers.
PAGA
Acronym for Public Address/General Alarm.
Playback Event
An event that broadcasts a preset audio message.
Record/Playback
Event
An Event that allows for live speech to be recorded and then broadcast. This is
employed primarily to prevent acoustic feedback.
Stand-Alone
System
An
Elemec3
system that consists of a single system E3 controller. This type of
system has no backup in the case of controller failure.
System Flag
One of several logic outputs (without relays) originating within the
Elemec3
system that provide real-time active/idle status of system operation. When one
of these conditions occurs, the logic flag status is shown as ACTIVE; otherwise
they are shown as IDLE. These flags, as well as
user flags
, are checked by the
system to affect
event chaining
,
provide access panel LED indication, or I/O
controller output.
Telephone
Interface
A device within the controller that allows PABX subscribers to access the
PAGA system.
Tick Tone
A low-priority fixed playback event (with selectable mp3 file) used to confirm
zone setup and speaker loop wiring. It is implemented as System Tone 8
(chosen through Playback Audio). The Tick Tone event is controlled through
the Portal and from access panels.
User Flag
The system programmer using the
Elemec3
Console application defines user
flags. Similar to the system flags, these are system conditions to indicate
operating parameters in the system. User flags are typically created for
conditions that are not defined by a System Flag. When any of these conditions
occur, the User Flag is ACTIVE; otherwise it is IDLE. Use flags to trigger
LED indicators on access panels or as triggers for conditional event chaining.
VLC
Acronym for Volume Level Control.
Zone
A zone is a collection of amplifier channels, digital/analog outputs, logic flags,
output groups, as well as other zones that is a destination for an event.
