NOTA
The menu shown in this manual refers to a device with 2 zones (VAIE4102 and VAIE4252) and the extension card
inserted and activated. If the extension card is not used, the menu will show no references about it.
In the case of the VAIE4101 and VAIE4251 models, no references to zone 2 will appear in the menu.
5. OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS AND TERMINOLOGY
Following is a list of how the operating conditions of the system are signalled and of the definitions used on the subsequent
pages of the manual, completed by indications of a general nature.
5.1 SIGNALLING OF OPERATING CONDITIONS
The
VAIE
is designed to signal the different operating conditions as defined below:
Idle state
(
ALARM, FAULT and SYS LEDs off
)
Normal operating condition, with no current faults or emergencies.
Alarm Status
(
ALARM red LED on
)
Operating condition signalling the presence of at least one alarm signal, either pre-recorded or live, on the output zone.
Faulty status
(
FAULT yellow LED on
)
Operating condition signalling the presence of at least one fault detected by the internal diagnostic system, with the relevant
LED turning on.
System failure
(
SYS yellow LED on
)
Operating condition signalling that the system has crashed due to temporary or permanent CPU malfunctioning, detected by
the watchdog device.
Disable status
(DIS yellow LED on)
Operating condition signalling the disablement of an emergency function, such as playing of pre-recorded messages during
the maintenance phase of the SD card.
Automatic Emergency
(
Display showing ‘AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY’ with active zone
)
Sequence of operations performed by an external peripheral (tipically the fire-control unit) connected to the control inputs that,
depending on how these are programmed, activates the Alarm Status or resets the alarms.
Manual Emergency
(
LED of the EMERGENCY button steady ON or flashing
)
Procedure of action on the system manual controls by an authorised operator, in order to activate emergency sources.
Operations in the Manual Emergency mode have priority over those activated in the Automatic Emergency mode.
6. DEFINITIONS
BGM source
(Background Music)
Audio source for background music.
PA
source
(Public Address)
One of the audio sources that can occupy the zone/s for service announcements.
Emergency Source
One of the audio sources that can occupy the zone/s for voice emergency announcements (pre-recorded messages announcing
an Alert and/or Evacuation, live messages from the local microphone, a call from a remote emergency microphone station).
Activation of an Emergency Source generates the operational condition of “State of Alarm”.
Priority
Occupation of the output zone/s by an audio signal or a reset order is governed hierarchically by the priority level assigned to
each active source. The current activation of the zone can be stopped only by another with a higher priority.
