Select the origin of the power supply of the equipment according to 4.1. Connect the power

cord to the connector "POWER" on the rear part of the equipment or power it directly from the
ACSI bus. An indicator checking sequence will appear in the front part of the equipment. Once the
sequence is conclude, the linking process with the system will start and it will be indicated by the
corresponding indicator (LNK).

When the equipment is turned on for the first time, typical adjustments of the installation

must be done (see section 4.2)

 3.2  EMERGENCY

 3.2.1  ACTIVATING EMERGENCY CONDITION

To give an evacuation notice, the system must be in an emergency condition. This mode of

operation will be able to issue the following notices types:

Recorded alert message

Recorded evacuation message

Live message from emergency microphone

To activate the emergency mode, proceed as follows:
Remove the protective cover of the "EMG" button and push the button. If the equipment

has priority to activate the emergency condition, the "EMG" indicator will light up.

When the emergency condition is activated, an audible warning signal will be activated.

This signal will be automatically muted when  using the  emergency microphone or manually by
pushing the "ACK" key.

 3.2.2  ISSUING VOICE WARNING

Once the emergency condition is activated, you will be able to select the following options

to make a voice warning:

Issuing a recorded warning message: "EVAC" 

Issuing a recorded evacuation message: "ALERT" 

Issuing a live message from the microphone: "EMIC" 

To issue a voice warning, if you have an expansion keyboard, select the zone memories

where you want to deliver the notice, their selection indicators will light up. In case you do not have
expansion keyboards,  or  have  not  made any  selection, all the zone  memories  will  be selected
automatically. Then press the "EVAC", "ALERT" or "TALK" button to issue recorded evacuation,
alert, or live messages respectively.

Simultaneously,   it   can   issue   a   recorded   message   and   a   live   message   in   the   same   or

different selection from the message that is being issued. The priority of the emergency sources
from higher to lower importance: live message from emergency microphone, recorded evacuation
message,   recorded   alert   message.   If   an   evacuation   message   is   issued   in   a   zone   memory   or
memories the alert message will stop immediately.

If you want to change the zone memories where it is being issued, make a new selection

and then press again on the type of alarm that you want to issue.
NOTE: The previous zone memories selection will disappear when you make a new selection.
