2-2 

Operation of the BOWS is controlled by the Evacuation Control 003 key 
switch. In the “AUTO” position the Alarm input (ALM-) is enabled. In the 
“ISOLATE” position the Alarm input is disabled and any latched fault or 
alarm 

conditions are reset. In the “EVACUATE” position the Evacuate 

tone is generated. 
 
In Auto mode activation of the Alarm (ALM-) input starts a six-stage rising 
amplitude Alert tone. This continues until one of the following occurs: 

 

-

  the Alarm input returns to normal (Alarm input in non-latching mode), 

or 

-

  the Evacuation Control switch is changed to Isolate, or 

-

  the Evacuation Control switch is changed to Evacuate, or 

-

  the Alert to Evacuate change-over time is reached. 

 
If the Alert to Evacuate change-over time is set to 0 sec, then no Alert 
tone is generated and the Evacuate tone is generated immediately. If the 
change-over time is set to Alert only, no Evacuate tone is generated and 
must be initiated manually. Alert and Evacuate voice messages are 
automatically inserted in the Alert and Evacuate tone sequences 
respectively. Messages shorter than 0.5 seconds are not inserted. 
 
Generally with the Evacuation Control switch in the “AUTO” position the 
operation of the BOWS is controlled via the ALM- input from the fire 
panel.   
 

 
A test mode is provided for testing the 100V line and speakers. To 
activate this put the BOWS into Auto and fit the Test Link (LK4) on the 
(master) T-GEN 50. The BOWS will produce a short 500Hz tone burst 
every 4 seconds at low volume (-30dB).   
 

 
If the 100V line is overloaded (e.g. short circuit), the BOWS will shut 
down its amplifier output until the fault is removed. Detection of an open 
or short circuit on the 100V line output will also cause a fault condition. 
 
If the Alarm input fault supervision is enabled, an open circuit on the 
ALM- input will cause a fault condition.  
 
These fault conditions will turn on the Audio Fault indicator and activate 
the Fault output.  Note that the 100V line is not supervised for the first 60 
seconds after power up to allow the monitoring capacitors to charge up. 
 
Note that the BOWS fault outputs are put into the fault state when the 
BOWS Evacuation Control switch 

is in the “ISOLATE” position.
