ALARM STATUS ACTIVATED BY AN EXTERNAL PERIPHERAL UNIT
THE PROCEDURE FOR MANAGING AN EMERGENCY STATUS SET OFF BY AN EXTERNAL PERIPHERAL UNIT THAT ACTIVATES
THE INPUT CONTACTS PROGRAMMED TO ENABLE THE “ALARM STATUS” IS DESCRIBED BELOW.
8.8.1 ACTIVATION OF AN AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY
In the event of activation of a programmed input contact the
PAW
stops its ‘Idle’ state normal activity, mutes the music being
broadcast, inhibits operation of the PA sources for broadcasting announcements and shows the AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY
screen, which indicates the type of message being sent out to the zones:
8.8.2 VIEWING THE OPERATIONAL STATUS
The condition of active VOICE ALARM - live announcement via the microphone or pre-recorded message under way - is shown
by the red ALARM LED lighting up on the front panel of the
PAW
.
8.8.4 EXITING FROM AN AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY
Exit from an Automatic Emergency takes place when no input contact is active.
The system will return to the ‘Idle State’, displaying the MUSIC MENU panel.
8.8.3 SYSTEM OPERATION DURING AN AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY
As long as the input contacts remain active, the MUSIC MENU panel continues to be deactivated, however it is in any case
possible to navigate through the various menus containing options for accessing advanced system functions and to inspect or
change their settings.
The current “Alarm Status” due to the Automatic Emergency can be changed by an authorised operator, who can take steps to
activate the manual controls for managing the system emergency in order to mute the messages by holding the RESET key down
for at least 2 seconds, to change those under way or to send out live announcements with the microphone.
For details concerning the
Manual Emergency
mode, see the appropriate section (page 37).
