Possible values:
‘Busy Standard’, or ‘Busy Class’
System default configuration: ‘Busy Class’ on Zoned Fire Microphones
‘Busy Standard’ on Fire, Paging, and Single Button Microphones
This setting is explained bellow, however for the RRM02 this setting should be configured to ‘Busy
Standard’.
Normally a Zoned Fire Microphone (such as the standard SMC01 units) connected to an ACU (Audio Control
Unit) is configured to drive the ‘Busy’ and ‘Select’ LEDs of a zone select button to indicate the emergency
DVA message status of the zone (either one or more of the group of zones controlled by this button).
Whereas Single Button Microphones (such as the RRM02 and SAP02) and Paging Microphones (such as
the DMS series) are configured to drive these LEDs in the standard mode, i.e., to indicate the zone ‘Busy’ in
similar fashion to when the microphone is connected to a VAR Router. These modes are detailed as follows.
•
‘Busy Class’ mode:
The ‘Busy’ and ‘Select’ LEDs of a zone select button indicate the emergency DVA message status of the
zone (either one or more of the group of zones controlled by this button) configured for this zone select
button according to the emergency class of the currently routed audio sources.
The ‘Busy’ and ‘Select’ LEDs are driven as follows:
−
The ‘Busy’ LED is turned ON continuously if any output in the group configured for the button is
connected to an input that has been configured as a High Priority Emergency source.
The ‘Select’ LED is turned ON continuously.
−
The ‘Busy’ LED flashes ON and OFF repeatedly if any output in the group configured for the button
is connected to an input that has been configured as a Low Priority Emergency source, and no
output in the group is connected to a High Priority Emergency source.
The ‘Select’ LED is turned ON continuously.
−
The ‘Busy’ LED is turned OFF if any output in the group configured for the button is connected to an
input that has been configured as a Non Emergency Priority source, and no output in the group is
connected to a High or Low Priority Emergency source.
The ‘Select’ LED is turned ON continuously.
−
The ‘Busy’ LED is turned OFF if all outputs in the group configured for the button are not connected
to any input.
The ‘Select’ LED is turned OFF.
As standard the emergency class is set-up as follows:
−
EVACUATE DVA: High Priority Emergency
−
ALERT DVA: Low Priority Emergency
−
Other audio sources (microphone, auxiliary DVAs, music): Non Emergency
Therefore the ACU (or the Zoned Fire Microphone) will show all evacuation zones with a steady ‘Busy’
LED, all alert zones with a flashing ‘Busy’ LED, and all other zones without the ‘Busy’ LED lit.
This is the default setting for Zoned Fire Microphones.
•
‘Busy Standard’ mode:
The ‘Busy’ LED of a zone select button is turned ON continuously to indicate that the zone (either one or
more of the group of zones controlled by this button) configured for this zone select button is already in
use by another input, and the ‘Select’ LED indicates the zone selection state.
The input emergency class has no effect on the LED indication.
This is the default setting for Single Button Microphones (such as the RRM02), Fire Microphones, and
Paging Microphones.
Ensure that the RRM02 is configured to the ‘Busy Standard’ mode in order that the ‘Busy’ LED is driven to
indicate the zone status.
