Vigilant BOWS Installation & Operation Manual
Issue 1.20

Page 2-3
The BOWS contains four digitised speech messages, defined as Msg1,
Msg2, Alert and ISO 8201 keywords. Refer to the Recorded Message
table in the Configuration section for the actual pre-recorded phrases.
The BOWS will play the alert message during alert, Msg1 (or Msg1 +
Msg2 if recording is longer than 4 seconds) during AS 2220 or ISO 8201
Evac if SW8 is off, Msg2 during AS 2220 if SW8 is on, and just the
ISO 8201 keywords during ISO8 201 if SW8 is on.
The operator may use the PA microphone for emergency public address.
This is activated when the microphone‟s PTT button is pressed while the
Evacuation Control switch is in either the AUTO or EVACUATE position.
Emergency PA overrides the Alert and Evacuate tones.
The BOWS supports remote paging using the A4485 4 zone paging
console (Figure 8).
To use this feature the FP1023 BOWS ZONE PAGING KIT option
(includes an SDM-4 and Paging Console) must have been installed.
The A4485 paging console has the following controls and indicators
(Figure 8):
Talk switch Off
Microphone is turned off

Microphone is turned on (turns off when
released)
Lock On Microphone is turned on
Zone Select switches

paging
Operation
Select the zone or zones to be paged using the zone select buttons
on the paging console.
Move the talk switch on the console forward to the Page position.
Make the announcement and then release the talk switch.
Paging can be configured to override, or not override, the Alert/Evacuate
tones. If configured to not override tones the paging will operate only
when the BOWS is not in Alarm and the Evacuation Control switch is in
the AUTO position (e.g. not generating tones).
If configured to override tones the paging will also operate when the
BOWS is in Alarm or the Evacuation Control switch is in the EVAC
position (e.g. generating tones). In this mode the paging console will
operate in a similar manner to the emergency PA microphone and
announcements will be automatically broadcast to all zones overriding
