Select Background Music
Select Background Music sends the background music from an audio source (CD
player, tuner or tape recorder, etc.) to selected speaker groups in the system. The

Speaker Groups
Speaker Groups are formed in the Geographic View of the Zeus Programming tool
and consist of all voice equipment (e.g. amplifiers, strobes, telephones) descending
from a group.
A Speaker Group is a switch comprised of one or more speaker and/or strobe circuits
in an area of a building. These loudspeaker and/or strobe circuits can be activated and
deactivated with a switch press.
Pressing the Speaker Group switch when the speaker group is normal and a SELECT
function switch is active places the speaker group into the current SELECT state. If
the current SELECT state is EVAC1, it sends the EVAC1 message to that zone.
Setting a speaker group to a higher priority state places the speaker group in the new
state. Pressing the switch again removes the speaker group from the state. If a lower
priority state is still active, the switch reverts to that state.
If the speaker group was automatically activated, pressing the switch silences the
speaker group.
