Figure 8: Control Units
The “Control Units”-tab allows users to set the default zone selection for paging events, the attention tones for each paging
type, optional attenuation for attention tones, as well as zone selections, alarm tones and priorities for each alarm accessible
via the 1601/1603/1605/1606/1643 access panels.
The PA Control Unit settings sets the zone or set of zones to be used as a default selection for emergency paging and paging
messages. Typically, emergency paging messages are broadcast to all zones, while normal paging messages are broadcast
to all zones except cabins and/or sleeping areas if no zone selection has been manually entered. The attention tone can also
be set for each type of paging type. Normally, two different tones are used, one for emergency paging and one for normal
paging. If desired, an attenuation factor in dB can be given for the attention tone.
The GA Alarm Panel settings sets the zone or set of zones to be used when an alarm has been activated, typically all zones
for most alarms. Which alarm tone to use is set from the available sound files present on the unit, or set to “Disable alarm” if
that particular alarm should not be used for anything. The alarm priority is given as an integer where 0 is the highest priority
and increasing integers are lower priorities. The advanced options for each alarm includes the type of tone to generate when
using MPAL files to define the alarm sound. By default, a sine-tone generator will be used, but it can be exchanged for a trian-
gle wave generator.
Delayed activation can be enabled for the Alarm, EMPA and Cancel buttons individually. The delay means that a user must
keep the button pressed for at least 1 second for the function to take effect. This can be used to avoid unintentional use of
these functions.
