12.4.2.2 Phased voice evac. control
The sounders FDS225 and FDS227 and the sounder base FDSB227 play
corresponding voice messages with an optional pre-notification tone instead of an
'Alert' tone or an 'Evac' tone. Among other things, these devices can perform
phased evac. controls which play pre-configured voice messages during
evacuation stages 'Alert' and 'Evac' to alert the monitored areas of the building and
evacuate these areas in a controlled manner.
Phased voice evac. controls are configured with the 'Phased voice evac control'
element within an 'Evac control group' element.
A 'Phased voice evac control' element has the following configuration options:
●
Assignment of causes with the
cause group 'Causes ALERT' for the
evacuation phase 'Alert'
●
Assignment of causes to the 'Causes EVAC FIRE (+DEGRADED MODE)'
cause group for the 'Evac' evacuation phase
●
Configuration of the following additional cause groups:
– 'Causes ALL-CLEAR'
– 'Causes TEST'
– 'Causes SCHOOL BELL'
You will find more detailed information about the individual cause groups in a
separate table further down in this chapter.
●
Configuration of an audio sequence for each cause group
●
Configuring an activation delay for each assigned cause, e.g., depending on
the location at which the cause was triggered
●
Configuration of the voice sounder which the system activates when the control
is activated
Configuring phased voice evac. control
The sequence only contains the necessary configuration steps. You will find
information about the elements that can be assigned or created, as well as the
parameters, in separate sections further down in this chapter.
