paging console to activate the microphone.
The A4485 paging console has a pre-announcement chime option that
can be selected via a DIP switch located at the rear of the console. Refer
to the A4485 Paging Microphone Operating Instructions supplied with the
console for further details.
The BOWS supports selectable paging of up to 4 zones using the BOWS
emergency PA microphone.
To use this feature the FP1024 BOWS EMERGENCY MIC ZONE
PAGING KIT option (includes an SDM-4) must have been installed.
Operation:
Select the zone to be paged using the PAGING ZONE SELECT
switch (Figure 9).
Make the announcement using the BOWS Emergency PA
microphone by pushing the microphone‟s push to talk button.
Zone-by-zone paging is available only when the BOWS is not in
Alarm and the Evacuation Control switch is in the AUTO position. If the
Emergency PA microphone is used when the BOWS is generating tones
the PA announcements will be broadcast to all zones, irrespective of the
Paging Zone Select switch position.
