Evacuate Specific Floors when No Alarms are Present
Specific floors in the building can be manually evacuated at any time, even when no fire alarm condition is present. To do this, follow these
steps.
1.
Press the speaker circuit buttons corresponding to the speaker groups (floors) you want to evacuate. The LEDs corresponding to
the selected speaker groups illuminate.
2.
Press the Selective Evac button. The LED associated with the Selective Evac button illuminates and the Primary Evacuation
message plays on the selected speaker circuit.
Example:
To evacuate floors 1 and 2, you would first press the buttons labeled Floor 1 and Floor 2. Their LEDs light to let you know that
these are the selected floors. Next, press the Selective Evac button. The Selective Evac LED lights and the message plays on the selected
floors.
Evacuate Additional Floors During an Alarm
When a fire alarm occurs, the evacuation message automatically plays on specific floors but other floors (or areas) of the building may not
automatically play the message. Additional floors can be evacuated, as follows:
1.
Press the speaker circuit button(s) for the additional floors. When you do this, the LEDs for the selected floors illuminate and the
message automatically plays on the speaker circuits for those floors.
Note:
The evacuation message does not restart when additional speaker circuits are activated.
For example, if the entire message is, "Please evacuate this Floor. Proceed to your designated assembly area," and you activate the speaker
circuit button when the message is half through, only the second half of the message will play on the additional speaker circuit.
Alert Specific Floors
Follow these steps to play the Alert message on specific floors (areas) of the building.
1.
Press the speaker circuit buttons corresponding to the speaker groups (floors) on which you want to play the Alert message. The
LEDs corresponding to the selected speaker groups illuminate.
2.
Press the Selective Alert button. The LED associated with the Selective Alert button illuminates and the Alert message plays on
the selected speaker circuit.
Evacuate Floors On Which Alert Message is Playing
Follow these steps to convert the Alert message playing on a group of speakers to an Evacuation message.
1.
On the EVAC display card, press the buttons corresponding to the floors currently playing the Alert message (the LEDs on the
Alert display card for these floors are lit).
2.
Press the Selective Evac button.
When you do this, the following occurs.
• The Alert message stops playing

Note:
If other floors were playing the Evacuation message, the evacuation message would start at the point it is at on the other floors.
